Safety Is Your Responsibility!
Trigger Safety
Familiarize Yourself with Safety...
The ownership of this marker places upon you the total responsibility of its safe and lawful
use. You must observe the same safety precautions as you would any rearm to assure
the safety of not only yourself but everyone around you. Outlined here are some general
precautions to be aware of. The user should at all times use caution and common sense
when using this marker and always remember that the game of paintball can only survive
and grow if it remains SAFE!
• Do not load or re this marker until you have completely read this manual and are
familiar with its safety features, mechanical operation, and handling characteristics.
• Handle this and any marker as if it were loaded at all times.
• Keep your nger off the Trigger until ready to shoot.
• Do not look down the barrel of a paintball marker. Accidental discharge into the
eyes may cause permanent injury or death.
• Keep the Trigger Safety in the Safe position until ready to shoot (see Warning
message above).
WARNING
EXCEPT WHEN YOUR MARKER IS IN USE, ALWAYS MAKE SURE
THAT THE TRIGGER SAFETY IS IN THE SAFE POSITION, (WHICH
DISABLES THE TRIGGER) AND THAT THE BARREL SLEEVE IS
PROPERLY INSTALLED (SEE BARREL SLEEVE INSTALLATION ON
PAGE 4).
TO LOCK THE TRIGGER (SAFE POSITION):
PUSH THE SAFETY IN FROM THE MARKER
SIDE SHOWN ABOVE TO THE SAFE POSITION.
TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER (FIRE POSITION): PUSH THE SAFETY
FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE MARKER TO ENABLE FIRING.

• Keep a barrel sleeve installed on marker when not shooting (see instructions on
page 4).
• Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Never re your marker at anything you do not intend to shoot because there may
be paintballs or foreign debris lodged in the chamber, barrel, or the marker’s valve.
• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
• Never re your marker at personal property of others. The paintball impact can
cause damage and the paint can stain the nish of automobiles, houses, etc.
• Always keep the barrel pointed down or in a safe direction, even if you stumble or
fall.
• Eye, face, and ear protection designed specically to stop paintballs in the form of
goggles and full face mask meeting ASTM Specication F 1776 must be worn by
the user and any person within range.
• Never shoot at a person who is not protected by eye, face, and ear protection
designed for paintball.
• Pressurize and load a marker only when the marker will be immediately used.
• Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secure place.
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling, be sure to remove paintballs and air/
CO2 cylinder (see Unloading Your Marker on page 9 and Air/CO2 Cylinder
Warnings on page 10), put the Trigger Safety in the Safe position (see page 6)
and install the barrel sleeve (see page 4).
• Do not eld strip or otherwise disassemble this marker while it is pressurized.
• Dress appropriately when playing the game of paintball. Avoid exposing any skin
when playing the game of paintball. Even a light layer of clothing will help absorb
some of the impact and protect you from the paintballs.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing the air/
CO2 cylinder, or if the marker or air/CO2 cylinder is leaking. Compressed air,
CO2, and nitrogen gasses are very cold and can cause frostbite under certain
conditions.
• Use only .68 caliber paintballs. Never load or re any foreign objects.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during the use of this marker. Handling
markers while under the inuence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal disregard for
public safety.
• Avoid shooting an opponent at point blank, 6 feet or less.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on the air/CO2 cylinder. Contact the air/
CO2 cylinder manufacturer with any questions.
• Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball and never shoot
at velocities in excess of 300 feet per second (see Velocity Adjustment instructions
on page 9).
• Always keep in mind that the sport of Paintball is viewed and judged by your safe
and sportsmanlike conduct.

Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings
Refer to Figure 4. There have been reported incidents
caused by players unknowingly unscrewing the cylinder
(2) from the cylinder valve (1). This occurs when the player
thinks the entire valve-cylinder assembly is being unscrewed
from the air supply adaptor (ASA) of the paintball marker,
when in fact they are unscrewing the cylinder from the
cylinder valve.
To avoid this danger, it is recommended (if your cylinder is
not already marked) that you use paint or nail polish to place
a mark (3) on the cylinder valve, and place another mark (4)
on the cylinder, in line with the #3 mark as shown.
Whenever you turn the cylinder during removal, watch the
marks on the cylinder and the cylinder valve to be sure
that they rotate together. If at any time these marks start
to separate as shown in Figure 5, the cylinder is starting
to unscrew from the cylinder valve and you must STOP
and take the entire unit to a “C5” certied airsmith for safe
removal and/or repair.
NOTE: The cylinder valve should unscrew from the paintball
marker in about 3 or 4 full turns. If you nish the 4th full turn
and the cylinder valve is not unscrewed from the paintball
marker, STOP! Take the entire unit to a “C5” certied
airsmith for safe removal and/or repair.
Locate a “C5” Certied Airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com/search.asp.
Whether you have a new or used rellable air/CO2 cylinder, you are at risk if any of the
following has occurred:
• The valve unit was replaced or altered after purchase.
• An anti-siphon device was installed.
• The valve unit was removed from the cylinder for any reason.
• Any modication was done to the rellable air/CO2 cylinder.
If any of these conditions has occurred, take your air/CO2 cylinder to a “C5” Certied Airsmith
for inspection or contact the cylinder manufacturer.
Air/CO2 Cylinder Safety Tips
SAFETY TIPS to ensure that your air or CO2 cylinder is safe for play:
• Improper use, lling, storage, or disposal of air/CO2 cylinder may result in property
damage, serious personal injury or death.
• Make sure that any maintenance or modication to any air/CO2 cylinder is done by
a qualied professional, such as a “C5” certied airsmith.
• The use of anti-siphon devices is not recommended. However, if one is already
installed on your air/CO2 cylinder, or such device is desired, it is critical that your
cylinder be checked by a qualied professional, and you have the device installed
by a qualied professional.

WARNING
The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (Figure 4, #1) is intended to be
permanently attached to the air/CO2 cylinder (2).
An air/CO2 cylinder can y off with enough force to cause serious injury
or death if the cylinder (2) unscrews from the cylinder valve (1).

• All air/CO2 cylinders must be lled only by properly trained personnel.
• Cylinder valves must be installed only by properly trained personnel.
• Do not overll a cylinder! Never exceed the air/CO2 cylinder’s capacity.
• Do not expose pressurized air/CO2 cylinder to temperatures exceeding 130
degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius).
• Do not use caustic cleaners or strippers on the air/CO2 cylinder or cylinder valve,
and do not expose them to corrosive materials.
• Do not modify the air/CO2 cylinder in any way. Never try to disassemble the
cylinder valve from the air/CO2 cylinder.
• Any air/CO2 cylinder that has been exposed to re, or heated to a temperature
of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) or more must be destroyed by
properly trained personnel.
• Use appropriate gas for your cylinder. Only use CO2 in a CO2 cylinder, and only
use compressed air in a compressed air cylinder.
• Keep all cylinders out of the reach of children.
• The air/CO2 cylinder should be inspected and hydrostatically retested at least
every 5 years by a DOT licensed agency.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing the air/
CO2 cylinder, or if the marker or cylinder is leaking. Compressed air and CO2
gasses are very cold, and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.
NOTE: Locate a “C5” certied airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com/search.asp.
Air/CO2 Cylinder Removal
1. Read Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings and Air/CO2 Cylinder Safety Tips on page 10
before beginning the cylinder removal process.
2. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range.
3. Follow the Unloading Your Marker instructions on page 9.
4. Watch the marks on the cylinder and cylinder valve (as shown in Figure 4) as you turn
the cylinder approximately ¾ turn counterclockwise. This allows the air/CO2 cylinder’s
pin valve to close so that no gas enters the marker.
5. Remove the Barrel Sleeve. Set the Trigger Safety to the Fire position. Point the marker
in a safe direction, and discharge the remaining gas in the marker by repeatedly
pulling the trigger until the marker stops ring (this may take 4-5 shots). If your marker
continues to re, the cylinder’s pin valve has not closed yet (the cylinder pin valve
could be longer than usual. Because of the variances in cylinder pin valve parts,
each cylinder varies slightly on exactly how far it has to be turned). Turn the cylinder
counterclockwise a little further and repeat this step until the marker does not re. Only
then remove the air/CO2 cylinder.
NOTE: If during this step, you turned the air/CO2 cylinder and it began to leak before
you pulled the trigger, the cylinder’s O-ring should be checked for damage before any
re-assembly (see Repairing Air/CO2 Cylinder Leaks on page 12).
6. After the air/CO2 cylinder is removed, again point and re the marker in a safe
direction to verify the marker is completely discharged of gas.
7. Move the Trigger Safety to the Safe position (see page 6) and install the Barrel Sleeve
see page 4).

Repairing Air/CO2 Cylinder Leaks
The most common leak occurs from a bad air/CO2 cylinder valve O-ring. To replace a valve
O-ring you must rst remove the bad O-ring and then install a new one. This O-ring is located
on the tip of your air/CO2 cylinder valve. The best valve O-rings are made of urethane.
Urethane O-rings are not affected by high air/CO2 pressures. These may be purchased from
Tippmann® or your local paintball dealer.
NOTE: If a new air/CO2 cylinder valve O-ring does not resolve a leak, do not attempt to
repair the air/CO2 cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports, LLC, your local paintball dealer, or a
“C5” Certied Airsmith.
Cleaning and Maintenance
• Eye protection must be worn by the user.
• To reduce the chance of an accidental discharge, follow the Unloading Your
Marker on page 9 and Air/CO2 Cylinder Removal instructions on page 11.
• Do not disassemble a marker while it is pressurized with air.
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker.
• Follow warnings listed on the air/CO2 cylinder for handling and storage.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air/CO2 cylinder.
• Contact the air/CO2 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. Remove the Hopper.
2. Completely loosen the Feed Elbow Thumb Nut (10) from the Receiver and remove the
Feed Elbow (9) from the marker.
3. Insert the tab of the cleaning squeegee into the Feed Elbow opening to the barrel and
push the squeegee into the barrel until the tab is accessible at the muzzle end of the
barrel.
4. Pull the squeegee through the barrel to remove debris.
5. Repeat if necessary.
6. Replace the Feed Elbow back onto the marker.
7. Tighten the Feed Elbow Thumb Nut to secure the Feed Elbow to the marker and
reinstall the Hopper.
To maintain your marker in good working condition, inspect, clean, and replace any damaged
parts. Lubricate as instructed in the Marker Disassembly and Assembly section starting
on page 13. The best valve O-rings are made of urethane. Urethane O-rings are not affected
by high gas pressures. These may be purchased from Tippmann® or your local paintball
dealer. Use Tippmann® oil to lightly lubricate the O-rings, springs, and other areas indicated
in the Marker Disassembly and Assembly instructions. This maintains your marker in
good working condition.

Storage
Put the Trigger Safety in the Safe position (see page 6). Unload the marker (see page 9) and
remove the air/CO2 cylinder (see page 11). Put the bolt in the forward (uncocked) position
(see step 2.b. on page 8). Clean and oil the marker so that it does not rust. Install the Barrel
Sleeve (see page 4), and store your marker in a dry area.
When removing your marker out of storage, make sure the Trigger Safety is in the Safe
position and the Barrel Sleeve is installed. You should re-oil the rear bolt O-ring and the front
bolt O-ring before use.
Marker Disassembly and Assembly
Always wear eye protection when performing any marker disassembly or re-assembly.
Refer to the Schematic Diagram on pages 16-17 for these instructions (item numbers are in
parentheses). Disassembly instructions are listed here. To re-assemble, just do the steps in
the reverse order.
1. Pull the Bolt Handle back (see Figure 2 on page 8) and keep holding onto it. Then pull
the Trigger and allow the Bolt Handle to move slowly forward. This uncocks the marker.
2. To remove the Barrel (54), simply unscrew the Barrel from the Receiver, and to
reinstall it, just turn it clockwise to thread it into the Receiver.
3. To remove the Left Grip (22) or the Right Grip (18), remove two Screws (14) from
each grip. Reassemble by using the Screws to fasten the Grips to the Receiver.
4. To remove the Feed Elbow (9) from the receiver, unscrew
the Thumbnut (10) from the right side of the receiver. The
C-Clip (16) keeps the Thumbnut from coming loose from
the Feed Elbow. The Feed Elbow hinges downward and the
bottom tabs come out of the slots in the Right Receiver Half
(1). The Screw (11), Flat Washer (17) and Nut (12) are
used to hold the Hopper in the Feed Elbow. Replace only if
necessary. Do all reassembly in the reverse order.
5. Lay the marker with the right side on the workbench. Use the included allen wrench to
turn the Velocity Screw (51) all the way in. Separate the Receiver Halves (1 and
2) by rst removing three (longer) Screws (25), and then four (shorter) Screws (26)
and nally one Bolt (19). Retain eight Nuts (15) for these fasteners from the Right
Receiver Half. Carefully lift the Left-Receiver Half to access the internal parts.
6. If the Ball Latch (8) needs to be replaced, pry the old one
out of the Right Receiver Half. Put the new Ball Latch into the
Right Receiver Half, oriented as shown in Figure 7 (circled
item).
7. Remove the Screw (23) from the ASA (29). Slide the ASA
from the pin in the Right Receiver Half. Be sure to keep track
of the Nut (30). If necessary, you can unthread the ASA
from the Gas Line (21). Use teon tape on threads for
assembly.
NOTE: Do not remove the gas line tting unless it is
leaking or you need to replace the valve. If you do remove
it, you will need some teon tape or paste to reinstall it. Carefully hand start all
threaded parts. Do not overtighten threaded parts when assembling. To fully remove
the Gas Line, unscrew it from the Valve Body (43).

The Valve
Disassembly instructions:
1. Remove the End Cap Cover (56), and then remove the End Cap (57).
2. Remove the Guide Pin (33) and Drive Spring (32). These parts must be removed
before the Rear Bolt Handle can be removed.
3. Disconnect the Linkage Arm (36) from the Rear (35) and Front (49) Bolts.
4. Slide the Front Bolt off the Power Tube (48) and check the O-ring. Clean and oil the
O-ring, or if damaged, replace with a new one. Do the same with the Rear Bolt O-ring.
5. Remove the Rear Bolt Handle (53) from the Rear Bolt Plug (52).
6. If it is necessary to remove the Valve, unscrew the two Valve Lock Bolts (13) from
the right side of the Receiver. Use a wrench to slowly unscrew the Gas Line (21)
tting from the Valve. Once the tting is removed, the Valve (43) slides out the back
of the Power Tube. Be sure to set the parts on the workbench. Inspect and clean the
exterior of all assemblies.
NOTE: Check the external Valve O-ring (58) and if damaged, replace with a new
one. If the O-ring is damaged, your marker will not function correctly.
7. Inspect and lubricate these internal drive assembly parts:
• Front Bolt O-ring (34)
• Rear Bolt O-ring (58, see Figure 8)
• Linkage Arm (36)
• Drive Spring (32) and Guide Pin (33)
8. Inspect and lubricate the Barrel O-ring (38) and the air/CO2 cylinder valve O-ring
with a few drops of oil.
Reassembly:
1. Reinstall the Valve into the Power Tube. Insert the cleaned and oiled Valve into the
Power Tube and align the holes of the Valve and Power Tube. Apply teon tape or
thread paste on threads of the Gas Line tting and carefully screw it into the Valve.
Snug with a wrench (do not over tighten and strip threaded parts). Wipe off any excess
paste.
2. Reinstall the Power Tube/Valve into the Receiver. Align the holes of the Power Tube
to those of the Right Receiver Half. Apply red Loctite ™ #271 sealant to threads of two
Valve Lock Bolts (13) and tighten - do not over-tighten bolts as you could strip the
threads.

The Trigger
Disassembly instructions:
1. Remove the Trigger (59) assembly from the
receiver. Be sure to retain the trigger return
Spring (61, located in front of the Trigger,
and not shown in Figure 9, but is shown in
the Schematic Diagram).
2. To remove the Trigger Return Slide (60)
and the Spring (61), you must rst remove
the upper Return Slide Dowel Pin (20)
from the Trigger assembly.
3. When re-assembling the Trigger and Sear,
make sure the black Sear Dowel Pin (4)
is in the location shown (see arrow in Figure
10). The black pin is hardened, and it is
critical that it is located in this position.
