IMPORTANT
WET WEATHER NOTE:
PLAYING IN THE RAIN WILL NOT DAMAGE
YOUR ION XE, BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER
IMMERSE IT IN WATER. IF YOUR MARKER
SHOULD BECOME WATERLOGGED,
REMOVE THE BARREL AND RUBBER
GRIPS AND ALLOW THEM TO DRY OUT,
THEN FOLLOW THE DISASSEMBLY/
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
The Ion XE valve system has only one major moving part, making it simple to maintain, but this does not mean maintenance
can be ignored. The Ion XE should be disassembled and cleaned any time it shows erratic performance, becomes
contaminated with paint, dirt or other debris, or for general maintenance after 3 or 4 days of use.
01 Unload and degas the Ion XE (see Ion manual.) Use a 5/16-inch allen wrench to unscrew and remove the bolt sleeve
from the back of the Ion XE.
02 Using a soft tool, like a wooden chopstick or plastic toothbrush, push the bolt, bolt stop and volume control insert, if
present, out the back of the Ion XE.
03 Clean the interior of the body, the bolt sleeve, bolt and bolt stop with a clean cloth or paper towel. Inspect their o-rings for
signs of damage such as rips or cuts and replace if necessary.
04 Lubricate o-rings with SL33K marker lubricant. Slide the volume control insert into the bolt sleeve. Slide the bolt stop onto
the bolt from the rear. Slide this assembly into the rear of the Ion XE. Screw the bolt sleeve into place with a 5/16-
inch allen wrench – do not overtighten.
This is all that is required for routine maintenance of the Ion XE. Further disassembly to inspect or replace ball detents and
Vision or circuit board components may be done by following the disassembly instructions in the Ion manual, with the exception
that the rear grip frame screw and banjo tting now screw directly into the body breech without the need for a swivel donut.
