• Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Never fire your marker at anything you do not intend to shoot because
there may be balls or foreign debris lodged in the chamber, barrel and / or
the marker valve.
• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
• Never fire your marker at personal property of others. The paintball impact can
cause damage and the paint can stain the finish of automobiles, houses etc.
• Always keep the muzzle pointed down or in a safe direction, even
if you stumble or fall.
• Eye, face and ear protection designed specifically to stop paintballs in the
form of goggles and full face mask meeting ASTM Specification 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 marker will be immediately used.
• NOTE: Before storing or disassembling be sure to remove paintballs and
air supply (see unloading and air supply removal on page 18), put the safety

CycloneTM feeder housing is clean, free of debris, and the CycloneTM feeders
turn freely when the manual advance lever knob is pushed.
❏ Make sure that the hopper is clean, free of sharp edges or debris. This
will keep the paintballs from breaking and feed the marker smoothly.
❏ Install the hopper neck into the CycloneTM feeder housing aligning the
hopper neck tab to fit into the cutout in the CycloneTM feeder housing. With
the barrel blocking device installed and trigger safety in Safe Mode, you are
now ready to load your hopper with paintballs. After filling the hopper with
paintballs the chamber will still be empty. You need to push the feeder manual
advance lever to chamber a paintball. Only remove the barrel blocking
device and turn off the trigger safety when ready to shoot.
3/16”Allen Wrench
❏ To adjust the velocity use the 3/16” allen wrench
included with your marker. The velocity adjustment
screw is located on the right side of the receiver. To
reduce the velocity, turn the screw inward or clockwise
. To increase the velocity, turn the screw
counterclockwise . Do not remove the velocity screw.
STEP 5: Velocity Adjustment
❏ Each time you play paintball, the velocity of your paintball marker should
be checked with a chronograph, an instrument for measuring velocity, prior
to playing paintball to verify that the marker’s velocity is set below 300 feet
per second or less if required by playing field. NOTE: For markers with FlatlineTM
barrel system, 260-275 feet per second is recommended for best performance.
STEP 6: Rear Sight Adjustment:
❏ Rotate the rear sight to preferred width to allow easy sighting.

little marker oil then insert the cylinder valve end into the air supply adapter
at the back end of the marker grip (or remote coil). Twist the cylinder clockwise
into the adapter until it stops. Your marker is ready to fire once you switch
to Fire Mode from Safe Mode (and on remote coil - turn the air flow valve on
-see page 8). If the tank is full and you do not hear the air supply engage,
the pin valve could be too short or the pin valve seal is damaged. (Follow
theAir Supply Cylinder Removal instructions on pages 18-20 and take your
air or CO2cylinder to a “C5” Certified Airsmith for inspection or contact the
cylinder manufacturer).

Special Firing Mode which is affected by this menu item. All other Special
Firing modes cannot have their rate of fire adjusted. This menu item can
only be updated with the values of 8-15 bps.
Special Firing Mode - (Factory Default Value = 2 Safe Full-auto) The Special
Firing Mode menu item is used to change the default Special Firing Mode.
The value and corresponding Special Firing Mode are listed below.
1. Safe Three-shot Burst
2. Safe Full-auto (factory default)
3. Auto-Response
4. Turbo Mode
5. Semi-automatic
This menu item can only be updated with the values of 1- 5.
familiarize yourself with each of these items as they are explained in the
following sections.
Menu Items – Dwell, DebounceTM, Rate-of-fire, and Special Firing Mode
Explained: This section will discuss the four menu items in detail so that a
user will understand fully the purpose and use of each menu item.
Dwell - (Factory Default Value = 8 milli-seconds) The Dwell menu item is
used to change the amount of time that power is supplied to the solenoid.
The solenoid is the part of the electronics which actually contacts the sear of
the marker, allowing it to fire. This setting will directly affect the battery life
of the E-GripTM. If this is changed to a value less than 8 milli-seconds, your
E-GripTM battery will last longer, but this may not allow the solenoid enough
time to trip the sear properly. If this value is set greater than 8 milli-seconds,
the solenoid will have power supplied to it for a longer time, but will reduce
the life of the battery. Changing this value can cure or create performance
issues for the user. This menu item can only be updated with the values of
2-20 milli-seconds.
DebounceTM - (Factory Default Value = 52 milli-seconds) The DebounceTM
menu item is used to change the amount of time between accepted trigger
pulls. Quite simply, this adjusts the amount of time from one trigger pull
being accepted by the electronics to the next trigger pull which can be
accepted. If a DebounceTM setting is too low, a user may shoot more times
than they had expected. This can be explained by what is called "Trigger
Bounce."When a paintball marker is fired, the marker will move and vibrate
in a user's hand. This vibration can allow the trigger to reset itself and trip
without the user realizing that their finger has actually moved. NOTE: This
menu item can only be updated with the values of 25-65 milli-seconds.
Rate-of-Fire - (Factory Default Value = 13 bps) The Rate-of-Fire menu
item may be used to update the Safe Full-auto Firing mode. This is the only
Firing Mode. The corresponding numbers are listed in the
Special Firing
Modes section
of these instructions. Powering off the E-GripTM will reset the
Special Firing Mode to the default mode. The default Special Firing Mode
can be changed by following the instructions in the
Advanced User
Programming section
.
5) Turn power off -
❏ ❏
❏ ❏
❏ To turn the power off, hold the power button for
2 seconds. The LED will change from green to red when the power-off
condition has been achieved. The E-GripTM will power down when the power
button is released. (NOTE: The trigger electronics are set to shut-off
automatically after a prolonged period of inactivity (120 minutes).
6) Low battery condition -
❏ ❏
❏ ❏
❏ The E-GripTM Low Battery Indicator Feature:
When the battery has begun to lose power, the LED will stop flashing green
and begin flashing red. While performance will vary while the LED is flashing
red, the E-GripTM will still function under this condition until the battery has
lost power to the point that it will not cycle the marker.
❏ TOURNAMENT LOCK: Because the E-GripTM requires a tool to turn it
on and off, no tournament lock is necessary for competition paintball.
The Special Firing Mode of the E-GripTM may be programmed to one of five
firing options which are:
1. Safe Three-round Burst - Pulling the trigger three times in less than
one second will result in a 3-shot burst at a rate of 13 balls per second (bps)
on the third trigger pull. Each pull of the trigger in less than one second after
this will result in another 3-shot burst (up to 3 bursts per second).
2. Safe Full-Auto (factory default) - Pulling the trigger three times in less
than one second will result in full-automatic firing. Holding the trigger down
on the third pull will sustain this full-auto mode. The default rate of fire for
this mode is 13 bps.
3. Auto-Response - The marker will fire on the pull and the release of the
trigger. This mode effectively doubles your manual firing rate.
4. Turbo Mode - Pulling the trigger three times in less than one second will
result in full-automatic firing at a rate of 15 bps. To sustain this rate of fire,
the trigger must be pulled at least once per second.
5. Semi-Auto - A semi-automatic Special Firing Mode is available for fields
or tournaments which restrict the use of automatic firing modes. This mode
is the same as selecting the F firing mode with the safety/selector switch
(One pull/release of the trigger fires 1 time).

Tuning The ResponseTM Trigger Rate of Fire
❏ Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and
any person within range.
Tuning - Troubleshooting B:
If the trigger remains easy to pull after adjusting the flow control, there
may be a leak in the system.
Tuning - Troubleshooting A:
If tuning the ResponseTM trigger, above, produces little or no response
in the rate of fire, reset the Flow Control as follows:
1) With marker properly unloaded (see page 18), begin adjusting rate
of fire by turning flow control clockwise completely. Do not over tighten
or damage will occur. In a safe direction fire 2 to 4 shots. Trigger
should become very hard to pull or even unable to be pulled. If this
occurs, the response trigger system is functioning properly. Go to step
2). If it does not occur, go to Troubleshooting B.
2) Now while firing in a safe direction with marker still unloaded, slowly
turn the flow control adjustor counterclockwise until desired rate of
fire is achieved.

This allows the air supply pin valve to close so that no air will enter the
marker.
❏ Point the marker in a safe direction and discharge the
remaining gas in the marker by pulling the trigger until the marker stops
firing (this may take 4-5 shots).
If your marker continues to fire, the tank
pin valve has not closed yet (the tank pin valve could be too long, because
of the variances in tank pin valve parts, each tank varies slightly on exactly
how far it should be turned) and
❏ you will have to turn the tank
counterclockwise a little further and repeat this step until the marker
does not fire,
❏ then remove the tank. NOTE: If during this step, you
turned the tank and it began to leak before you pulled the trigger, the

Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks
The most common leak occurs from a bad air supply valve o-ring. To
replace a valve o-ring you must first remove the bad o-ring and then
install a new one. This o-ring is located on the tip of your air supply
valve. The best valve o-rings are made of urethane. Urethane o-rings
are not affected by high air supply pressures. These may be purchased
from Tippmann®or your local paintball dealer.
❏ NOTE: If new valve o-
ring does not resolve air supply leak, do not attempt to repair air supply
cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports, LLC, your local paintball dealer or a
“C5” Certified Airsmith.
Storage:Before storage unload and remove air supply (see pages 18-20).
Then put the trigger safety in Safe Mode (see page 4) and install the barrel
blocking device (see page 2). You should store your marker in a dry area.
Before storing your marker make sure that the marker is cleaned and oiled
(see cleaning and maintenance on page 20) so that it does not rust. Store
your marker with the bolt in the forward position, uncocked (see page 21 below).
❏ When removing your marker out of storage make sure the trigger safety
is in Safe Mode (see page 4) and the barrel blocking device is installed (see
page 2). Re-oil the rear bolt o-ring and the front bolt o-ring before use.
