Cleaning and Maintenance

• To reduce the chance of an accidental discharge, follow Unloading Your Marker

(on page 9) and Air/CO2 Supply Cylinder Removal (on page 12).

• Eye protection (safety glasses) must be worn.

• Read and follow air/CO2 supply cylinder warnings and safety tips on pages 10-11.

• Do not disassemble a marker while it is pressurized with air/CO2.

• Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker.

• Follow warnings listed on the air/CO2 supply cylinder for handling and storage.

• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air/CO2 supply cylinder.

• Contact the air/CO2 supply cylinder manufacturer with any questions.

• Do not use any petroleum based cleaning solvents.

• Do not use any cleaning solvents that come in aerosol cans.

NOTE: Petroleum based products and aerosol products can damage your marker’s

O-rings.

To clean your paintball marker exterior, use a damp towel to wipe off paint, oil, and debris.

To clean inside the barrel:

1. Insert the tab end of the squeegee into the Feed Elbow and push it in until it appears at

the muzzle end of the barrel.

2. Pull the squeegee through the barrel to remove debris and paint.

To maintain your marker in good working condition, inspect, clean, and replace any damaged

parts.

Lubricate the marker’s air/CO2 supply valve O-ring, and the internal Drive Assembly parts: the

Front Bolt O-ring (item #39), the Rear Bolt O-ring (19), the Linkage Arm (40), the Drive Spring

(20) and Guide Pin (21).

The best valve O-rings are made of urethane. Urethane O-rings are not affected by high air/

CO2 supply pressures. These may be purchased from Tippmann

or your local paintball

dealer. Use Tippmann marker oil to lightly lubricate the O-rings and springs. Inspect and

lubricate the air/CO2 supply valve O-ring with a few drops of marker oil when attaching the air/

CO2 supply cylinder.

Storage

Before storage, unload the marker (page 9) and remove air/CO2 supply (see page 12). Put

the Trigger Safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device (see page

4). Before storing your marker make sure that the marker is cleaned and oiled (see Cleaning

and Maintenance above) so that it does not rust. Store your marker with the bolt in the

forward, uncocked position. Store your marker in a dry area.

When removing your marker from storage, make sure the Trigger Safety is in Safe mode (see

page 6) and the barrel blocking device is installed (see page 4).
