STEP 1: PREPARE MARKER FOR SAFE
DISASSEMBLY before beginning disassembly.
T o do so, you must: (1-unload marker; (2-remove air source; (3-discharge
stored air; (4-uncock marker before further disassembly.
1) Unload your marker: first remove the hopper. Then, point your marker
in a safe direction and fire several times to be sure there are no balls left
in the feeder or lodged in the chamber.
2) Remove tank: To remove a charged air cylinder, turn the cylinder
approximately 3/4 of a turn counterclockwise or out. This allows the
tank pin valve to close so that no air will enter the marker. Point the
marker in a safe direction and fire the remaining air in the marker by
pulling the trigger until the marker stops firing. (This may take 4-5 shots)
If your marker keeps firing after you have turned the tank 3/4 of a
turn, the tank pin valve has not closed yet and you may have to turn the
tank counterclockwise a little further.
If you turn the tank 3/4 of a turn and it begins to leak before you
pull the trigger you have turned it too far and may have damaged the
tank o-ring.
3) After air tank is removed, point & fire the marker in a safe
direction until stored air is completely discharged.
4) Put the marker in the uncocked position: hold the bolt cocking
handle back - then pull the trigger and release handle forward to
un-cock the marker.
STEP 2: Remove Lower Receiver from upper receiver
1) To detach lower receiver: Remove 2 lower receiver push pins (#1
& #2) to detach from upper receiver.
STEP 3: Detach Tank Adapter from lower receiver.
1) To detach, remove receiver bolt (#3) from lower receiver.
(Store removed lower receiver in safe place).
STEP 4: Install Battery Into E-GRIP Kit Receiver
Follow Battery Installation Instructions on back page.
STEP 5: Inspect New E-GRIP Kit Lower Receiver.
1) Visually inspect new electric kit lower receiver. Check that the
trigger assembly is intact and the safety is in the “safe” (red not
showing - to the right) position.
Top view of trigger assembly intact - it should look like this...
Make sure no gaps

Safety Position
STEP 6: Attach Lower to Upper Receiver
1) Align lower receiver front push pin hole (#1) with
upper receiver hole (#1) then gently rock rear of grip
to align upper & lower push pin hole (#2).
2) With holes aligned, insert two lower receiver push
pins to attach.
STEP 7: Attach T ank Adapter to Lower Receiver
1) Remove (#3) receiver bolt from new lower
receiver. Slide tank adapter into lower receiver, align
holes then insert receiver bolt (#3) and tighten into
receiver bolt nut.
STEP 8: Install Tank Into Pistol Grip T ank Adapter
Note: Eye protection designed for paintball use must
be worn at all times when handling this marker by the
user and any person within range.
Standard Tank Installation Into Pistol Grip Adapter .
1) First, make sure that the marker is on SAFE mode.
Press safety “In” on left receiver half to lock trigger &
put marker in SAFE mode. (When safety button on left
side of marker shows red, the marker is in FIRE mode
and marker can fire.)
2) Next, cock the marker by sliding the bolt cocking
handle all the way back until you hear/feel the bolt lock
into place, then release the cocking handle to its forward
position.
3) To install the tank, insert the tank valve end into the
tank adapter at the back end of the pistol grip. Twist
the tank clockwise into the marker, until it stops. Adjust
the butt plate if necessary. Your marker is ready to fire
once you switch to FIRE mode from SAFE mode.
You are now ready to tune the A-5 E-GRIP rate of fire
and set the mode of fire.

If during the course of installation a part is lost or found to be damaged,
obtain a replacement part before continuing reassembly .
BATTERY INSTALLATION - 9 VOLT BATTERY:
Step 1: Prepare marker for lower receiver / trigger
assembly removal.
(1 To do so, you must complete the instructions “
STEP 1” on the
front page (unload your marker / remove air source / discharge
stored air / uncock marker) before further disassembly.
(EXAMPLE: If you fail to remove the air source before removing
lower receiver, the marker will fire uncontrollably - possibly
resulting in personal injury and damage to the marker).
(2 Remove lower receiver as outlined in “
STEP 2” on the front
page (it is not necessary to remove tank adapter to replace battery).
(3 Remove trigger assembly from lower receiver. To do so, push
safety (A) out left side of lower receiver and carefully lift trigger
assembly out, keeping it intact. (It is not necessary to disassemble
trigger assembly to replace battery . NOTE: Do not replace sear
spring with spring from old trigger assembly, tensions are
specifically designed for E-GRIP
TM
Kit and it will not operate
properly if you do so). It is not necessary to disassemble lower
receiver any further to replace battery.
4) Notice how battery wires from inside lower receiver are in slot (B)
beside top of armature pin (C) and the position of the armature pin.
Remove battery from inside lower receiver. Do not jerk it out by
the wires, carefully take it out. If you turn the receiver upside down
the armature pin may come out, this is ok, just be sure to replace it.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem: If you pull the trigger and marker does not fire.
1) Check to be sure safety is off.
2) Make sure sufficient air supply is hooked up to marker
3) Firing Mode may be set to “= NO OPERA TION”
- With screw driver, turn Mode adjustment (access through
top hole in lower receiver) 1 position (click) try trigger again.
4) Battery may be disconnected - Check battery clip connection
5) Battery may be bad - replace battery .
6) Internal wire may be disconnected.
- Inspect wire connections inside lower receiver. Do NOT
disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with air.
Remove lower receiver as outlined on front page “
2, Step 3 and STEP 4”. Remove left grip half (3 screws & tank
adapter bolt) and visually inspect internal wires for disconnected
wire end. When replacing grip half, be sure wires are positioned
in slot and cutout area so wires are not pinched or sheared.
If a problem still exists, call
Tippmann Service Department at 1-800-533-4831.
