Loading Paintballs
The performance of your marker is directly affected by the quality of paintballs used. We
highly recommend Diablo paintballs to give you satisfaction and success on the playing field.
1. Confirm that the Barrel Plug is properly installed and the marker in on “Safe”.
2. Push forward the pin on the side of the feed tube to the front and lock down the
spring latch.
3. Point the marker into a safe direction, and remove the plug on the rear of the feed
tube. Now proceed to load paintballs individually into the Feed Tube. Be sure to
leave room for the plug.
4. Place plug back into the feed tube and ensure it is secure in place before unlatch-
ing the Feed Tube spring.
Chronographing
Never operate your marker without first checking the velocity and confirming that you are
firing below that required on the field of play. At no time should the marker fire paintballs
in excess of 300 feet per second. Higher velocities are not only potentially dangerous;
they often result in a substantial increase in paintballs broken in the marker.
1. Confirm that the Barrel Plug is properly installed and the marker is on “Safe”.
2. Using a hex key (not included) make sure the Velocity Adjuster (#4) set screw is
backed out without removing it.
3. Make sure that you and anyone within range is wearing eye protection designed
specifically for paintball.
4. While pointing the paintball marker in a safe direction, remove the Barrel Plug and
move the safety to the fire position.
5. Point the marker over the chronograph and in a safe direction.
6. Pull the trigger and observe the reading on the chronograph.
7. To increase the velocity, turn the Velocity Adjuster (#4) clockwise.
8. To decrease the velocity, turn the Velocity Adjuster (#4) counter-clockwise.
9. Once the desired velocity has been reached, use the hex key (not included) to turn
the Velocity Adjuster (#4) Set screw in until it binds against the Hammer Plug (#4B).
This will prevent the Velocity Adjuster from moving during play and is required by
most competitions and fields.
10. Re-install the Barrel Plug and place the marker on “Safe”.
11. Proceed to the playing field.
12. Keep the safety in the “Safe” position and the Barrel Plug in place until ready to play.
De-Gassing
NOTE: Do NOT remove a 12 Gram CO2 unless it is completely empty. The 12 Gram
CO2 can become a projectile if not completely empty! Failure to do so will crack and
dry out the o-rings inside the marker causing a leak.
1. Make sure that you and anyone within range is wearing eye protection specifically
designed for paintball.
2. Set the safety in the “Safe” position.
3. Point the marker in a safe direction.
4. Lock forward the feed tube spring in preparation for unloading.
5. Open the feed tube plug on the back of the marker and remove all the paintballs
from within the Feed Tube. Remove the Feed Tube from the top of the marker.
6. Take the Barrel Plug out of the marker, and face the marker into a safe direction.
NOTE: There may still be a ball in the chamber! Make sure you are in a safe area
to fire the marker safely!
7. Fire the marker until it runs out of CO2.
NOTE: When the marker un-cocks, Re-cock the marker and fire it repeatedly until
the gun doesn't release any more air.
8. Place your Barrel Plug back into your barrel and open the front Gas Clamp (#19) by
pushing it down and forward to release pressure on the 12 gram CO2.
9. Remove the 12 Gram CO2 and dispose of it properly. These cannot be reused.
Maintenance
WARNING: All maintenance should be performed with an unloaded and degassed
marker ONLY.
Bolt and Hammer
1. De-gas the marker according to previous directions.
2. Always perform maintenance over a smooth clean work surface. This will help
prevent the accidental loss of small parts.
3. Make sure the bolt is in the forward position before proceeding.
4. Remove the Quick Release Pin (#13).
5. Remove the Hammer Plug (#4B) from the rear of the Main Body.
6. Pull the Bolt (#14) from the rear. This will also remove the Spring Strut (#4A), Main
Spring (#2), Recoil Pad (#3), and Hammer (#1).
7. Clean the Bolt thoroughly, includes rinsing in warm water if needed. Be sure to dry
all parts well before the next step.
8. Lubricate the Bolt and Hammer with non-corrosive lubricant such as Empire Lube or
Empire Oil.
9. Place the Bolt's Connecting Pin into the hole on top of the Hammer and while pointing
the marker downward. Guide this assembly in to the rear of the Main Body.
10. The Striker will likely stop when it makes contact with the top of the Sear (#27).
11. While putting slight pressure on the rear of the bolt, pull the trigger (this depresses
the Sear and allows the Bolt/Hammer assembly to travel forward.
12. Return the Main Spring, Recoil Pad, and Spring Strut to their proper position following
the schematic on Page 4-5.
13. Place the Hammer Plug into the rear of the Main Body with the longest portion of
the Main Spring / Spring Strut.
14. Push the Hammer Plug in and replace the Quick Release Pin.
