OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Be sure the paintball marker is always pointed in a safe direction. Read the following operating instructions and WITHOUT LOADING ANY PAINTBALLS proceed several times through the operating steps with your paintball marker (dry fire the paintball marker at a safe target) so that you will be able to operate the marker properly and safely.
STEP 1. EYE PROTECTION: Make sure everyone within range (200 yards) is properly protected from paintball impacts.
STEP 2. PUT ON “SAFE”. Push safety from left to right; no red band showing. Make sure barrel plug is placed securely in muzzle of marker STEP 3. COCK: Cock marker by pulling cocking handle fully back until locked in sear position. This marker is a semi-automatic marker, which will recock itself after firing when working properly.
STEP 4. ATTACH GAS SOURCE: Marker can be used with a Brass Eagle® constant air refillable cylinder (not Included). You should expect better gas efficiency with a larger refillable cylinder. (Recommend Brass Eagle® 9oz. refillable cylinder. Item #1471.)
ONLY USE BRASS EAGLE® CYLINDERS - All Brass Eagle® refillable cylinders and markers meet ASTM standards for thread engagement. Other cylinders may not meet ASTM standards and will not match your marker.
NOTE: Add 3 drops of mineral oil to the ASA adapter prior to attaching the refillable cylinder. Check the website at: www.stryker-paintball.com for approved lubricants.
STEP 5. LOAD PAINTBALLS:
A)Insert loader (not Included with all packaging) into ball feed port. Grip loader from the top. Insert loader feed neck into ball feed port on the marker. Twist and push firmly in a clockwise direction.
NOTE: The loader to ball feed port fit is purposely tight. (RECOMMEND Viewloader®, Quantum™, Revolution™, Tripod™ multi-capacity electronic loader, Revolution C.A.T™, Revolution II™ or Revolution Jr.™)
B) Pour paintballs into loader. NOTE: Paintballs are gravity fed from loader to the marker each time the trigger is pulled. Too rapid a rate of fire, broken balls or too many balls in loader may cause subsequent balls to break and will adversely affect the paintball marker’s accuracy. Use a squeegee to clean inside the paintball marker’s barrel. (RECOMMEND Brass Eagle®, Stryker™ or JT® brand .68 caliber paintballs.) Paintballs should be stored in a cool, dry place in sealed plastic bags. Do not subject to freezing, excessive heat, humidity or store in direct sunlight. These conditions may cause ball breakage and/or poor feeding.
STEP 6. Remove barrel plug and take off safe by pressing safety from right side of paintball marker until red band is showing.
STEP 7. VERIFY VELOCITY: Verify that the

Ball Feed Port |
Alimentador de |
bollas Puerta |
Alimentation |

paintball marker’s velocity is below 300 feet
per second or less if required by playing field. Velocity should be measured with a chronograph prior to playing paintball. Velocity may be adjusted by turning the velocity adjustment screw (See Fig. A) Using a 1/8” allen key (Included) turn the screw clockwise to Increase velocity and counter-clock- wise to decrease velocity.
NOTE: If using compressed air or nitrogen to power your marker, you may need to install the enclosed spring guide spacer to achieve a more desirable velocity. To install your spacer, follow steps 1-4 under “Field Strip Guide.” With your marker field stripped, add the spacer between the spring and spring guide, see Figure B. Reassemble your marker, verify your velocity and adjust as needed.
STEP 8. FIRE: Paintball marker is now ready to fire.
WARNING: Never shoot at anyone without proper protective equipment for eyes, which must be worn at all times. Eye protection must be designed specifically for paintball use. Failure to follow these safety precau-
tions may result in bodily injury Including blindness and deafness.
WARNING: All paintball markers are considered to be loaded until demonstrated to be unloaded by following the steps for unloading your marker.
UNLOADING YOUR MARKER
WARNING: Always wear proper eye, face and
ear protection designed especially to stop paintballs while unloading your paintball marker.
STEP 1. Make sure barrel plug is securely in barrel. STEP 2. Put Marker on safe. (Push left to right) STEP 3. Remove loader.
STEP 4. Turn marker upside down to remove paintballs from feed port.
STEP 5. Point marker toward ground in a safe direction, remove barrel plug and fire several times to insure marker is completely unloaded. Replace barrel plug, put marker back on safe.
STEP 6. Remove gas source.
STEP 7. Use squeegee to dislodge any paintballs from barrel. Do not unload your marker indoors.
WARNING: Do not look down the breach or barrel of the marker while gas source is attached.
Use a barrel squeegee to clean broken paintballs from your marker’s barrel. We recommend Viewloader® Proflex squeegee #5012.
