SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
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 you are ready to shoot.
• Do not look down the barrel of a paintball marker. Accidental discharge into the eyes
may cause permanent injury or death.
WARNING
Except when your marker is in use,
always make sure that the trigger
safety is in Safe mode, and that the
barrel blocking device is properly
installed (see page 4).
To turn ON the trigger safety (Safe
mode), push in the safety (arrow) as shown above.
To turn OFF the trigger safety (Fire mode), push in the
safety from the opposite side of the receiver.

• Keep the marker in Safe mode until ready to shoot (page 6).
• Keep the barrel blocking device installed on marker when not shooting (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, and/or the marker 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 muzzle 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 the 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
supply (see unloading and air/CO2 removal instructions on pages 9 -11) and install
the barrel blocking device (see page 4).
• Do not eld strip or otherwise disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with
air/CO2 supply.
• Dress appropriately when playing the game of paintball. Avoid exposing any skin
when playing the game of paintball. Even a light layer will absorb some of the
impact and protect you from the paintballs.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air/CO2
cylinder or if the marker or air/CO2 supply 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 air/CO2 cylinder or adapter. Contact
the air/CO2 cylinder or adapter manufacturer with any questions.
• Read the Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings and Safety Tips on pages 22–24 before
beginning the cylinder installation or removal.
• Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball and never shoot at
velocities in excess of 300 feet per second (see instructions on page 10).

NOTE: If your marker does not re after you have successfully loaded and punctured your
CO2 cartridge, put the trigger safety back into Safe mode (see page 4)
and go to Troubleshooting on page 19.
2. Removing the Magazine and Loading
The barrel blocking device must be installed (see page 4) and the trigger
safety in Safe mode (see arrow at right and also see page 6).
a. To remove the Magazine, push in the Magazine Release
button and the Magazine ejects out the bottom of the grip.
b. The Ball Carrier inside the Magazine has two tabs, one on each
side of the Magazine. To load the Magazine, push down on the
Ball Carrier tabs until the Ball Carrier locks in place near the
bottom of the Magazine. (It automatically releases when inserted
into the marker.)
c. Keep the Magazine vertical as shown, and insert one paintball at
a time into the top of the Magazine. The Magazine holds seven
paintballs. Paintballs in the Magazine are not under pressure
until the Magazine is inserted into the marker.
d. To insert a loaded Magazine into the marker, slide the Magazine
into the grip until you hear it lock into place. Only remove the
barrel blocking device and change the trigger safety to Fire
mode when you are ready to shoot. Eye protection
designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and
any person within range. The Sight Windows allow you
to see when you are low on paintballs in the Magazine.
3. Firing the Marker
Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the
user and any person within range. Point the marker in a safe
direction. Remove the barrel blocking device from the marker.
Move the trigger safety from Safe mode to Fire mode. Pull the
Trigger to re the marker. Each pull of the Trigger res one paintball
4. Unloading the Magazine
a. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range.
b. Remove the Magazine from the TPX marker. When removing the Magazine,
two loose paintballs might drop from the grip. Inspect the breech chamber for a
paintball. The Breech Window (16) on top of the receiver provides a way to check
for a paintball in the breech chamber. Point the marker in a safe direction and pull
the trigger (dry re) to clear the marker of any remaining paintballs. Put the trigger
safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device (see page 4).
c. Push the Magazine’s Ball Carrier down until it locks into place (see step 2.b. above)
to take pressure off any remaining paintballs in the Magazine. You can then reload
any loose paintballs into the Magazine.

d. To remove all paintballs from the Magazine, press down on the top of the Carrier
Release Armature with a at object, and any remaining paintballs are pushed out
the top of the Magazine (Magazine parts are shown on page 13).
TIP: For best results and to keep your TPX marker running at peak performance, it is
recommended you use a paintball that is not too old or fragile, and is free of dimples or
defects. To determine if the paintball is proper for use with the TPX marker, press the tip of
your ngernail against the paintball to see if it is easily dimpled. Tippmann discourages leaving
paintballs sitting in Magazines for an extended period of time, as this can lead to the paintball
becoming out of round. Only load Magazines with paintballs on the day of play.
Velocity Adjustment
Each time you play paintball, check the velocity of your paintball
marker with a chronograph (an instrument for measuring velocity)
prior to playing paintball. Verify that the marker’s velocity is set below
300 feet per second (or less if required by the playing eld).
To adjust the velocity, use the 3/16” Allen wrench included with your
marker. The Velocity Adjustment Screw is located at the back of the
receiver, as shown at right. (Do not use a smaller Allen wrench and
mistakenly adjust the Regulator Pressure Relief Valve Set Screw
which is accessed through the Velocity Adjustment Set Screw - see
note below.) To reduce the velocity, turn the screw counterclockwise. To increase the velocity,
turn the screw clockwise.
NOTE: This marker has a Regulator Pressure Relief Valve that prevents excessive air/CO2
pressure that could damage your marker, and is factory set at 350 psi. If a cartridge with
excessive air/CO2 pressure is loaded, or if extreme temperature conditions cause excessive
cartridge pressure buildup, it will vent excessive gas out the access point. Adjust only as
outlined in the Regulator Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment instructions on page 19.
CO2 Cartridge Removal
Do not store or disassemble a marker with the CO2 cartridge (punctured or unpunctured)
installed. If your marker has an optional remote line adapter kit installed, do not remove the
CO2 cartridge until you rst follow the air/CO2 cylinder removal instructions in the Remote
WARNING
Keep exposed skin away from gas
escape points (arrows) when installing
or removing a CO2 cartridge, or if the
marker or air supply is leaking.
Compressed air, CO2, and nitrogen
gasses are very cold, and can cause
frostbite under certain conditions.
Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn
by the user and any person within range.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Always wear eye protection (safety glasses) when cleaning or performing maintenance on
your TPX marker. To reduce the chance of an accidental discharge, follow CO2 Cartridge
Removal instructions on page 10 (on page 21 for markers with a Remote Line Adaptor).
Never disassemble a marker that is under pressure. Clean and lubricate your marker with
Tippmann grease after approximately 5000 shots.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions and follow warnings on CO2 cartridge and/or
air/CO2 cylinder packaging for use, handling, storage and disposal. Contact the air/
CO2 cylinder manufacturer with any questions.
• Read and follow Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings and Safety Tips on pages 22-24.
• Petroleum based products and aerosol products can damage marker O-rings. Do
not use any petroleum based cleaning solvents. Do not use any cleaning solvents
that come in aerosol cans.
• Clean your marker using a damp towel to wipe off paint, grease, and debris.
• To clean inside the barrel, turn the barrel counterclockwise and remove. Push the
cable of the squeegee through the barrel, then pull the squeegee through to remove
debris.
• To clean the breech and barrel with the Magazine removed, push the cable of the
squeegee up into the grip and out the barrel, then pull the squeegee through to

WARNING
Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when
installing or removing a CO2 cartridge, or if the marker or
air supply is leaking. Compressed air, CO2, and nitrogen
gasses are very cold, and can cause frostbite under
certain conditions.
NOTE: Failure to reassemble correctly can cause damage to parts, air/CO2 leaks, and
other problems. As you reassemble your marker, double check to be sure parts are
clean, not damaged, lubricated, and installed correctly.
Regulator Disassembly/Assembly
1. Follow Marker Disassembly/Assembly on page 14.
Remove the Air Fitting (12).
2. Remove the Regulator End Cap (66) from the
Regulator Body (70) by holding the Regulator Body on the “wrench ats” (arrow) with a
5/8” wrench, and remove the End Cap by turning to the left with a 3/16” Allen wrench.
Internal parts slide out.
3. To remove the velocity adjustor (77), unscrew it with a 3/16” Allen wrench until it and
the spring (73) come out. Use your ngers to pull the regulator piston (71) out. It is not
necessary to remove the Pressure Relief parts for normal maintenance.
4. Clean and inspect parts. Replace any damaged parts. NOTE: It is not necessary to
remove O-rings to inspect, clean, and lubricate them. Use Tippmann grease to lightly
lubricate O-rings (on parts 66 and 71) and springs (67 and 73) to maintain your marker
in good working condition.
5. Reassemble the regulator following these instructions in reverse. NOTE: Failure to
reassemble correctly can cause damage to parts, air/CO2 leaks, and other problems.
As you reassemble your marker, double check to be sure parts are clean, not damaged,
lubricated, and installed correctly.
6. Upon marker reassembly, you will need to adjust the Regulator Pressure Relief Valve if
you removed the Pressure Relief parts from item #71 (see Regulator Pressure Relief
Valve Adjustment on page 19).
Release Pressure From a Marker That Will Not Fire
Only use this procedure if marker will not re and the CO2
cartridge has been punctured. Put the trigger safety in Safe
mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device
(see page 4). Remove the Magazine as outlined in CO2
Cartridge Removal (see page 10).
Keep marker pointed in a safe direction during CO2 cap (15) removal. Keep exposed skin
away from escaping gas as it rushes out at the air/CO2 release points (arrows).

Adjustable CO2 Cap
CO2 cartridges vary from brand to brand. Your Tippmann TPX can be tuned to easily puncture
a variety of cartridge brands. The internal parts for the CO2 cap cannot be purchased
separately. You must order the adjustable CO2 cap as an assembly (see parts list).
1. Push the trigger safety to Safe mode (see page 6). Install the barrel blocking device
(see page 4). Remove the CO2 Cap (see page 10) and ensure the CO2 cartridge
compartment is empty. Remove the Magazine (see page 9). Inspect the breech to
conrm the marker is unloaded.
2. Replace the CO2 Cap. With CO2 Cap in the marker and the trigger safety in Safe
mode, remove the exterior Locking Set Screw from the CO2 Cap using the 3/16” Allen
wrench supplied with your marker. Remove the CO2 Cap from the marker. Unscrew the
Adjusting Set Screw until it does not protrude from the end of the CO2 Cap.
3. Insert a full CO2 cartridge and reinstall the CO2 Cap.
4. With the trigger safety in Fire mode, tighten the Adjusting Set Screw while lightly pulling
the trigger until you feel the Puncture Pin make contact with the CO2 cartridge. Loosen
the Adjusting Set Screw 1/4 turn. Push the trigger safety to Safe mode.
5. Remove the CO2 Cap and the CO2 cartridge from the marker.
6. Without a CO2 cartridge in the marker, reinstall the CO2 Cap into the marker, then
install exterior Locking Set Screw and tighten.
7. Reinstall the CO2 cartridge. If the cartridge punctures without pulling the trigger, the
Adjusting Set Screw is set too deep. If you fully pull the trigger and the cartridge does
not puncture, the Adjusting Set Screw is set too shallow.
8. Remove and dispose of the CO2 cartridge (see CO2 Cartridge Removal on page 10).
Because manufacturer’s tolerances vary for CO2 cartridge length, steps 1 through 6
may need to be repeated in order to nd the optimal setting for your particular brand of
CO2 cartridge.
Additional Information Regarding Performance
1. For best results, and to keep your TPX pistol running at peak performance, it is
recommended that you use a paintball that is not too old or fragile and free of dimples
or defects. Tippmann also discourages leaving paint in Magazines for an extended
period of time as this can lead to the paintball deforming. Only load Magazines the day
of play.
2. To determine if the paintballs are appropriate for use with the TPX pistol, press the tip
of your ngernail against a paintball to determine if it is easily dimpled. If the paintball
dimples, this paintball should not be used in the TPX pistol.
3. Please thoroughly read this TPX manual, and in particular, review the Magazine
Removal, Loading, and Unloading instructions (see page 9) before loading your
Magazine. Proper loading will ensure proper feeding of the paintballs into your TPX
pistol.

Regulator Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment
The regulator pressure relief valve is factory set to 350 psi. Do not reset
it higher than 350 psi because that could cause damage to marker parts
or cause personal injury. If you disassemble the Regulator (page 17)
and remove the indicated parts from item #71, you will need to reset the
Regulator Pressure Relief Valve before using your marker.
1. Adjust the velocity as outlined in Velocity Adjustment on page
10 until your marker chronographs at 300 fps.
2. Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the
barrel blocking device (see page 4). Remove the Magazine as
outlined in Magazine Removal, Loading, and Unloading (see
page 9).
3. Insert a 1/8” wrench through the Velocity Adjuster Set Screw (S) and into the Regulator
Relief Set Screw (V) and turn it slowly counterclockwise only until air/CO2 begins to
escape through the Relief Valve. Then turn the set screw slowly back clockwise only
until air/CO2 stops escaping, setting the relief pressure. NOTE: Do not turn any further
clockwise which would set it higher than 350 psi. This could cause damage to marker
parts or cause personal injury.
4. Follow the Velocity Adjustment Instructions on page 10 to adjust the velocity until the
marker chronographs to 300 fps or less.
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM: You have successfully loaded and punctured a new cartridge, put the trigger
safety in Fire mode. Your marker will not re and you can’t get the CO2 cartridge out of the
marker.
SOLUTION: Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking
device (see page 4). Remove the Magazine as outlined in Magazine Removal (see page 9).
Follow the instructions Release Pressure From a Marker That Will Not Fire on page 17.
PROBLEM: Air/CO2 is leaking out of the gas vent hole (see arrow).
SOLUTION: The most common air/CO2 leak is caused by a
dirty or damaged puncture seal. Check the Puncture Seal (36)
for dirt or damage (see Puncture Valve Disassembly on
page 16).
PROBLEM: Magazine will not feed paintballs correctly.
SOLUTION: Try using fresh paintballs
SOLUTION: Clean the Magazine with a damp towel to wipe off paint, grease, and debris. Dry
springs immediately, if necessary, to help prevent rusting.
PROBLEM: You pull the trigger, and the marker does not pressurize.
SOLUTION: Adjust the CO2 Cap assembly (see instructions on page 18).
PROBLEM: Air/CO2 is leaking from the air/CO2 cylinder connection to the remote coil tank
adapter.
SOLUTION: The most common leak occurs from a bad air/CO2 cylinder valve O-ring (see
Repairing Air/CO2 Cylinder Leaks on page 24).

Problems After Disassembly/Assembly Of Your Marker
Failure to reassemble parts correctly can cause damage to parts, air/CO2 leaks, and other
problems. Always double check to be sure parts are clean, not damaged, lubricated, and
installed correctly when you disassemble/reassemble your marker.
PROBLEM: You pull the trigger and the marker does not pressurize.
SOLUTION: Check that the puncture pin cap (44) is installed (see Puncture Valve
Disassembly on page 16).
SOLUTION: Adjust the CO2 cap (see page 18).
PROBLEM: You install a cartridge and you hear air/CO2 leaking.
SOLUTION: Check to be sure the O-rings of the long gas line and the short gas line are not
damaged (see Marker Disassembly on page 14).
PROBLEM: The Regulator (#77 in illustration on previous page) vents air/CO2 continuously.
SOLUTION: Adjust the Pressure Relief Valve (see page 19).
SOLUTION: Check the Regulator Pin (68) for dirt, damage, or if it is not inserted into the
Regulator Piston (71) properly. Clean, inspect, and replace if damaged.
NOTE: When assembling, be sure the Regulator Pin seats into the Regulator Piston (see
Regulator Disassembly on page 17).
PROBLEM: You pull the trigger back and it binds and will not release.
SOLUTION: Check the Firing Pin (51) for misalignment. Disassemble the Firing Valve and
make sure the Firing Pin is pushed in ush with the Firing Valve Body during assembly (see
Firing Valve Disassembly on page 15).
PROBLEM: There is air/CO2 leaking out of the barrel.
SOLUTION: Check the Front Valve Spool O-ring (60) for dirt or damage (see Air Valve
Disassembly on page 16).
PROBLEM: When the trigger is pulled slowly, a short leaking sound is normal. The leak
continues without the gun ring.
SOLUTION: Check the Valve Spool rear O-ring (61) and the Air Valve End Cap O-ring (61) for
dirt or damage (see Air Valve Disassembly diagram on page 16).
PROBLEM: The trigger will not move at all when trying to re.
SOLUTION: Check the trigger safety (22) to be sure it is not installed backwards. The red
O-ring (32) should be on the left side of the marker (PUSH SAFE is embossed on this side),
and the black O-ring (31) on the right side of the marker (PUSH FIRE is embossed on this
side) (see Marker Disassembly on page 14).
PROBLEM: You re the marker but no paintballs are red.
SOLUTION: If the Front Bolt (54) sticks in the forward position, paintballs will not load. Check
the Ball Latch (24) to be sure it is not installed backwards (see Marker Disassembly on
page 14).
SOLUTION: If the Front Bolt (54) is installed correctly and does not return completely, the
paintballs will not load. Check the Barrel Adapter (25) and the Air Valve Assembly (23) for dirt
or damage (see Marker Disassembly on page 14).
NOTE: If a problem still exists, contact Tippmann Service Department at 1-800-533-4831 or
see your local paintball dealer.
