GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING

General Maintanence

Use only JT approved parts.NOTE: The use of third party parts such as o-rings, which could be a slightly different size or hardness, can result in poor performance due to broken paint, ball hop and rapid fire. It is critical to the good performance of your marker to use only JT approved parts. Regular maintenance of your ExcelleratorTM s the best insurance against a problem with your marker in the field. JT USA recommends that you conduct a general maintenance of your ExcelleratorTM after every 1000 paintballs shot. This general maintenance will involve removal of the bolt and striker and checking the condition of o-rings. Replacing worn o-rings or lubricating dry o-rings will go a long wayt to preventing a problem while playing. It is recommended that you use a lubricant that is designed specifically for paintball markers

Gas Leaks

Gas Leaks will occur in the marker because of dirty, dry or defective o-rings or seals. There are over 15 of these o-rings,washers and seals n your Excellerator marker. The most common parts that may require maintenance are; bolt o-rings, striker o-rings and cup seal. To obtain

JT USA approved parts you should purchase the JT Marker Repair Kit

#0016. This kit contains all of the parts you need to properly maintain your marker.
