PMI Black Maxx User Manual

Paintball is a recreational and competitive sport played worldwide. Special equipment used in paintball
includes paintball markers, which are airguns; and paintballs, which are liquid-filled gelatin capsules that mark with a bright color. The object of the game is to capture the opposing team’s flag; while on that quest, players try to mark their opponents to eliminate them from the game.
This operator’s manual is provided with several models of the PMI BlackMaxx™ paintball marker. Pursuit Marketing, Inc. (PMI, Inc.), reserves the right to modify or change its markers without incurring any obligation to incorporate such modifications or changes in any of its products that were sold prior to the modification. The information in this operator’s manual may be updated or changed without notice.

WARNING
Your PMI Marker has a specially designed pressure release system installed. See Figure A. DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THIS SAFETY DEVICE! This safety device will not allow pressures in excess of 3000 psi to enter your marker. If the output pressure of your air system exceeds 3000 psi the safety release disc will vent, preventing damage to your marker. Should this occur, replace the rupture disc using only PMI Replacement Kit #41022 rated at 3000 PSI. Contact your local paintball dealer to perform this maintenance or contact PMI at 1.800.579.1633 for further information.

VELOCITY
BARRELS
TROUBLESHOOTING CONT’D
WARNING
1. Chronograph the marker using standard chronograph procedures and following safety rules. Shooting velocity will vary based upon many factors.
2. Adjust velocity by using a 3/16 in. allen wrench to turn the velocity adjuster. Turn adjuster clockwise to raise velocity. Turn adjuster counterclockwise to lower velocity. Turning the velocity adjuster changes the amount of tension on the hammer spring. The hammer spring may be changed for additional velocity adjustment; insert stiffer spring to raise velocity and less stiff spring to lower velocity. Extra springs may be purchased from your local paintball retailer.
The hammer spring assembled with the PMI BlackMaxx™ paintball marker is intended to provide appropriate shooting velocity for most outdoor paintball game situations and will provide a range of velocities suitable for most conditions. Shooting velocity will vary based upon form of regulated compressed gas or air used to power the marker, outside temperature, and other factors. Additional hammer springs of varying spring stiffness are available for further velocity adjustment.
DO NOT EXCEED 300 FEET PER SECOND (fps) VELOCITY.
VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
ALL PAINTBALL MARKERS MUST BE CHRONOGRAPHED REGULARLY. ADJUST MARKER TO SHOOT PAINTBALLS AT A VELOCITY THAT IS LESS THAN 300 FEET PER SECOND (FPS) AND THAT DOES NOT EXCEED THE VELOCITY LIMIT SET BY THE PAINTBALL PARK WHERE THE MARKER IS IN USE. CHRONOGRAPH THE MARKER AT REGULAR INTERVALS DURING THE DAY, AS WELL AS ANY TIME THE POWER SOURCE IS REFILLED OR CHANGED, ANY TIME THE BARREL OR ANY PART IN THE POWER SYSTEM IS CHANGED, AND UPON REQUEST OF ANY PLAYER OR GAME OFFICIAL.
WARNING
1. Before disassembling the marker, first remove the power source; then remove all paintballs from the marker and loader. Leave barrel plug firmly inserted in barrel and pointed in a safe direction. Marker must be un-cocked to disassemble marker.
2. To remove bolt/hammer assembly, first rotate downward the elliptical switch located on the rear of the grip frame (Figure A). After rotating the switch 180 degrees the grip frame will unlock from the body at the rear of the gun. This will allow you to separate the grip frame and the marker body at the rear only, as they are hinged together at the front. (Figure B)
3. After separating the body and grip frame about one inch apart you must grip the cocking knob with one hand and pull it firmly toward the rear of the gun. (Figure C) The bolt/hammer assembly (Figure D) should easily slide out as one unit.
4. The bolt/hammer assembly can be cleaned with a damp cloth to remove any remaining paintball material.
5. The barrel of the marker can be unscrewed in a counter clockwise direction and removed from the marker body. After removing the barrel the barrel plug may be removed to allow cleaning of the barrel with a paintball squeegee.
6. The outside of the marker can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
7. To reassemble follow directions in reverse order. Lubricate the bolt/hammer assembly with PMI Paintball Marker Oil or any 100% synthetic paintball gun oil.
Before you try anything else make sure you have put several drops of 100% synthetic paintball marker oil on the bolt and hammer rings. A PMI BlackMaxx
™
without oil will not work properly.

All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity less than 300 feet per second (fps) and/or that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the paintball park where the marker is in use. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is refilled or changed, any time the barrel is changed, and upon request of any player or game official.
There is always a chance that a paintball is lodged in the barrel of the marker even when it is not visible in the chamber. To check if the marker is unloaded: remove air system and shoot marker in a safe direction. Remove hopper, visually inspect chamber for a paintball, remove and inspect barrel for the presence of a paintball. Never look down the barrel of any paintball marker once the barrel is screwed into the marker.
Markers with regulators hold pressure even after tank is removed. Shoot marker in a safe direction after tank is removed to de-gas it completely.
This paintball marker operates using compressed gas or air at specified pressure ranges. Follow safety procedures when handling compressed gas or air. All filling of compressed gas or air cylinders must be done by qualified persons.
Always cock marker before attaching air or gas source to it. Failure to always cock marker before attaching air to it may cause accidental firing or discharge of paintballs.
Follow the rules of safe marker handling: Keep finger off trigger until ready to shoot. Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction. In addition, firmly insert a barrel plug or barrel bag into the muzzle and push the electronic or mechanical
safety “on” when the marker is not in use and when in any non-shooting area.
