2. Point marker in a safe direction and load paintballs in the
Feeder/Hopper. If you are using a non-motorized hopper, be sure to
leave some room in the hopper for the balls to feed properly.
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 Barrel Plug is properly installed, and, if the LCD is
powered on, press and hold the On/Off Button until the LCD goes
out and that the Bolt Pull Pin is cocked to the rear.
2. Using a 5/64 hex key make sure the Locking Set Screw (12B) 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, if the LCD is powered on, press and hold the
On/Off Button until the LCD goes out.
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 (12) clockwise.

DE-GASSING
1. Make sure that you and anyone within range is wearing eye
protection designed specifically for paintball.
2. Set the On/Off switch to the “Off” position.
3. Point the marker in a safe direction.
4. If you are using a motorized feeder, turn it off.
5. Twist the Clamp Feed Adjustment (11A) in a counter-clockwise
direction until loose.
6. Invert the marker so that the hopper/feeder is upside down so
that paint balls are no longer feeding into the marker.
7. Remove the hopper/feeder from the marker.
8. Twisting the barrel in a counter-clockwise direction, remove it
from the marker.
9. While pointing the paintball marker in a safe direction, press and
hold the On/Off button until the LCD is to the “On” position.
10. Pull the trigger and allow the marker to cycle to confirm the
absence of paintballs in the marker’s breech. If a ball discharges,
repeat until no more paintballs come out of the marker.
WARNING: When removing the cylinder from the marker, it could
fly off with enough force to kill if the valve unscrews from the cylinder. LOOK at valve when removing cylinder. STOP if valve starts to
unscrew from the tank. Screw it back on and take it to a trained person for repair.
11. Unscrew the propellant cylinder approximately one complete
revolution.
12. Pull the trigger until the marker fails to recock (if this takes more
than 10 shots, unscrew the cylinder an additional 1/2 turn and
repeat).
13. Remove (See Warning Above) the propellant cylinder.

top of the Hammer (1).
7. Press the Bolt Pull Pin downward until it clicks in place.
STORAGE:
Always turn off the marker, remove the hopper/feeder, all paintballs and propellant source and place it in a secure location where it cannot be accessed by
unauthorized persons.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE:
Symptom Cause Cure
Does not Fire Not Cocked Cock the Bolt Pull
Pin (28A) to the rear.
Not On Turn Switch “On”
Bad Battery Replace Battery
Cleaning/ Lubricating/ Assembly
1. De-gas the marker according to previous directions.
2. Wipe all outer surfaces with a clean soft cloth or paper towel.
3. DO NOT submerge marker in water or cleaning solutions.
This may destroy the circuit board and will void your warranty.
4. Remove and service Bolt as previously instructed.
5. Remove the Retainer Clip from the end of the Quik Strip Pin (5).
6. While maintaining some pressure on the back of the Hammer
Plug (24), pull out the Quik Strip Pin.
7. Remove the Main Spring (2), Recoil Pad (3), Spring Strut (4)
and Hammer Plug (24) from the marker.
8. Using a 1/8” hex wrench remove both Grip Frame Screws (21)
from the Grip Frame (35). NOTE that these are located on the
trigger frame and NOT on the Main Body.
9. Pull the Trigger Frame away from the Main Body.
10. Remove the Hammer (1) from the rear of the Main Body.
11. Lubricate the Hammer with a non-corrosive lubricant such as
Empire Lube or Empire Oil.
12. Replace the Hammer with the open end facing rearward and
the flat side down.
13. Insert the Bolt (28) in the top of the Main Body.
14. Line up the hole in the bolt with that in the Hammer and push
the Bolt Pull Pin downward until the two are linked together. This will
prevent the Hammer from rotating during assembly.
15.
16.
Place the Main Spring (2), Recoil Pad (3), Spring Strut (4) and
Hammer Plug (24) back in the marker.
While holding the Hammer Plug in place replace the Quik Strip
