Safety Is Your Responsibility!
WARNING
• EXCEPT WHEN YOUR MARKER IS IN
USE, ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE
TRIGGER SAFETY IS IN SAFE MODE,
WHICH DISABLES THE TRIGGER, AND
THE BARREL SLEEVE IS INSTALLED
(SEE PAGE 4).
• TO TURN ON THE TRIGGER SAFETY
(SAFE MODE): PUSH THE SAFETY IN
AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 1.
• TO TURN TRIGGER SAFETY OFF (FIRE MODE): PUSH SAME BUTTON
ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF RECEIVER.
Familiarize Yourself with Safety...
The ownership of this marker places upon you the total responsibility of its safe and lawful
use. You must observe the same safety precautions as you would any rearm to assure
the safety of not only yourself but everyone around you. Outlined here are some general
precautions to be aware of. The user should at all times use caution and common sense
when using this marker and always remember that the game of Paintball can only survive
and grow if it remains SAFE!
• Do not load or re this marker until you have completely read this manual and are
familiar with its safety features, mechanical operation and handling characteristics.
• Handle this and any marker as if it were loaded at all times.
• Keep your nger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
• Do not look down the barrel of a paintball marker. Accidental discharge into the
eyes may cause permanent injury or death.
• Keep the trigger safety in safe mode until ready to shoot (see Warning above).
Figure 1: Trigger Safety Location
6
• Keep a barrel blocking device installed on marker when not shooting (see page 4).
• Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Never re your marker at anything you do not intend to shoot because there may
be paintballs or foreign debris lodged in the chamber, barrel, or the marker valve.
• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
• Never re your marker at personal property of others. The paintball impact can
cause damage and the paint can stain the nish of automobiles, houses, etc.
• Always keep the barrel pointed down or in a safe direction, even if you stumble or
fall.
• Eye, face, and ear protection designed specically to stop paintballs in the form of
goggles and full face mask meeting ASTM Specication F 1776 must be worn by
the user and any person within range.
• Never shoot at a person who is not protected by eye, face, and ear protection
designed for paintball.
• Pressurize and load a marker only when the marker will be immediately used.
• Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secure place.
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling, be sure to remove paintballs and air
supply (see Unloading Your Marker on page 9, and Air Supply Cylinder
Removal
the barrel blocking device (see page 4).
• Do not eld strip or otherwise disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with
air supply.
• Dress appropriately when playing the game of paintball. Avoid exposing any skin
when playing the game of paintball. Even a light layer of clothing will help absorb
some of the impact and protect you from the paintballs.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing the air
supply cylinder, or if the marker or air supply is leaking. Compressed air and CO2
gasses are very cold and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.
• Use only .68 caliber paintballs. Never load or re any foreign objects.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during the use of this marker. Handling
markers while under the inuence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal disregard for
public safety.
• Avoid shooting an opponent at point blank range, 6 feet or less.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on the air supply cylinder. Contact the
air supply cylinder manufacturer with any questions.
• Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball and never shoot at
velocities in excess of 300 feet per second (see instructions on page 8).
• Always keep in mind that the sport of Paintball is viewed and judged by your safe
and sportsmanlike conduct.

• Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range.
• Do not disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with air.
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker.
• Read each step completely before performing the steps.
NOTE: Carefully hand start all threaded parts when assembling, and do not
overtighten, as this may potentially strip the threaded parts.
1. Air Supply Cylinder Installation.
Review Air Supply Cylinder Safety Tips (see page 10).
Push the trigger safety to the Safe mode (see page 6).
Install the barrel sleeve (see page 4).
Lubricate the cylinder valve o-ring with a little marker oil, then insert the cylinder valve
end into the air supply adapter at the back end of the marker grip. Twist the cylinder
clockwise into the air supply adapter until it stops. Use caution as the marker is now
ready to re.
2. Loading the Hopper
Insert the hopper into the feed neck of the receiver. Tighten the clamp bolt to secure
the hopper, but be careful not to over tighten, as this might collapse the hopper feed
tube.
Fill the hopper with .68 caliber paintballs. Do not force excessive numbers of paintballs
into the hopper.
3. Firing
Remove the barrel sleeve from the marker. Take the marker off Safe mode by pushing
the trigger safety to the Fire position. Grip the forearm grip with one hand and the
receiver in your other hand, pull the forearm grip rearward until it runs out of travel,
then push it forward until it again runs out of travel. Point the marker in a safe direction
and pull the trigger to shoot a paintball.
Breech lock: After one pump cycle, the marker cannot be pumped again until the
trigger is pulled. This is a feature to prevent double loading paintballs.
Auto Trigger: If you hold the trigger back while cycling the forearm grip, the marker will
re each time the forearm grip is pumped.
Note: If you attempt to pump the marker with the trigger safety in Safe mode, the
forearm grip will not travel forward to complete the pump cycle.
Velocity Adjustment
Velocity
Screw
Each time you play paintball, check the velocity of your
paintball marker with a chronograph (an instrument for
measuring velocity) prior to playing paintball. Verify that
the marker’s velocity is set below 300 feet per second or
less if required by the playing eld.
To adjust the marker’s velocity, use the included 3mm
allen wrench. The velocity adjustment screw is located
on the left side of the receiver, as shown in Figure 2. To
reduce the velocity, turn the screw clockwise. To increase
the velocity, turn the screw counterclockwise. Do not remove the velocity screw.

Figure 2: Velocity Adjustment
Unloading Your Marker
1. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range.
2. Empty and remove the hopper.
3. Go to a designated ring area, remove the barrel sleeve and turn off trigger safety.
4. Point your marker in a safe direction and re several times to be sure there are no
paintballs lodged in the chamber or barrel. Visually inspect the chamber for paintballs.
5. Return the trigger safety to the Safe mode (see page 6). Reinstall the barrel sleeve (see
page 4).
Air Supply Cylinder Warnings
WARNING
The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (Figure 3, #1)
is intended to be permanently attached to the air or CO2
cylinder (2).
An air or CO2 cylinder can y off with enough force to cause
serious injury or death if the cylinder (2) unscrews from a
cylinder valve (1).
E
N
G
L
I
S
H
Refer to Figure 3. There have been reported incidents caused
by players unknowingly unscrewing the cylinder (2) from the
cylinder valve (1). This occurs when the player thinks the
entire valve-cylinder assembly is being unscrewed from the
air supply adaptor of the paintball marker, when in fact they
are unscrewing the cylinder from the cylinder valve.
To avoid this danger, it is recommended (if your cylinder is
not already marked) that you use paint or nail polish to place
a mark (3) on the cylinder valve, and place another mark (4)
on the cylinder, in line with the #3 mark as shown.
Whenever you turn the cylinder during removal, watch the
marks on the cylinder and the cylinder valve to be sure
that they rotate together. If at any time these marks start
to separate as shown in Figure 4, the cylinder is starting to
unscrew from the cylinder valve and you must STOP and
take the entire unit to a “C5” certied airsmith for safe removal
and/or repair.
NOTE: The cylinder valve should unscrew from the paintball
marker in about 3 or 4 full turns. If you nish the 4th full turn
and the cylinder valve is not unscrewed from the paintball
marker, STOP! Take the entire unit to a “C5” certied
airsmith for safe removal and/or repair.

Whether you have a new or used rellable air or CO2 cylinder, you are at risk if any of the
N
following has occurred:
G
L
I
S
H
• The valve unit was replaced or altered after purchase.
• An anti-siphon device was installed.
• The valve unit was removed from the cylinder for any reason.
• Any modication was done to the rellable air or CO2 cylinder.
If any of these conditions has occurred, take your air or CO2 cylinder to a “C5” Certied
Airsmith for inspection or contact the cylinder manufacturer.
Air Supply Cylinder Safety Tips
SAFETY TIPS to ensure that your air or CO2 cylinder is safe for play:
• Improper use, lling, storage, or disposal of air or CO2 cylinder may result in
property damage, serious personal injury or death.
• Make sure that any maintenance or modication to any air or CO2 cylinder is done
by a qualied professional, such as a “C5” certied airsmith.
• The use of anti-siphon devices is not recommended. However, if one is already
installed on your air or CO2 cylinder or is desired, it is critical that your cylinder be
checked by, or the device installed by, a qualied professional.
• All air or CO2 cylinders must be lled only by properly trained personnel.
• Cylinder valves must be installed only by properly trained personnel.
• Do not overll!! Never exceed the air or CO2 cylinder’s capacity.
• Do not expose pressurized air or CO2 cylinder to temperatures exceeding 130
degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius).
• Do not use caustic cleaners or strippers on the air or CO2 cylinder or cylinder valve
and do not expose to corrosive materials.
• Do not modify the air or CO2 cylinder in any way. Never try to disassemble the
cylinder valve from the air or CO2 cylinder.
• Any air or CO2 cylinder that has been exposed to re or heated to a temperature
of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) or more must be destroyed by
properly trained personnel.
• Use appropriate gas for your cylinder. Only use CO2 in a CO2 cylinder and only use
compressed air in a compressed air cylinder.
• Keep all cylinders out of the reach of children.
• The Air or CO2 cylinder should be inspected and hydrostatically retested at least
every 5 years by a DOT licensed agency.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air supply,
or if the marker or air supply is leaking. Compressed air and CO2 gasses are very
cold, and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.
NOTE: Locate a “C5” certied airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com/search.asp

Air Supply Cylinder Removal
1. Read Air Supply Cylinder Warnings and Air Supply Cylinder Safety Tips before
beginning the cylinder removal process.
2. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range.
3. Follow the Unloading Your Marker instructions on page 9.
4. Watch the marks on the cylinder and cylinder valve (as shown in Figure 3 on page 9)
as you turn the cylinder approximately 3/4 of a turn counterclockwise. This allows the
air supply pin valve to close so that no air will enter the marker.
5. Remove the barrel sleeve and push the trigger safey to the Fire mode. Point the
marker in a safe direction, and discharge the remaining gas in the marker by ring until
the marker stops ring (this may take 4-5 shots). If your marker continues to re, the
cylinder pin valve has not closed yet (the cylinder pin valve could be too long. Because
of the variances in cylinder pin valve parts, each cylinder varies slightly on exactly how
far it should be turned). Turn the cylinder counterclockwise a little further and repeat
this step until the marker does not re, then remove the cylinder.
NOTE: If during this step, you turned the cylinder and it began to leak before you
pulled the trigger, the cylinder o-ring should be checked for damage before reassembly
(see Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks below).
6. After the air supply cylinder is removed, again point and re the marker in a safe
direction to verify the marker is completely discharged.

7. Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel sleeve (see
page 4).
Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks
The most common leak occurs from a bad air supply valve O-ring. To replace a valve O-ring
you must rst remove the bad O-ring and then install a new one. This O-ring is located on the
tip of your air supply valve. The best valve o-rings are made of urethane. Urethane O-rings
are not affected by high air supply pressures. These may be purchased from Tippmann® or
your local paintball dealer.
NOTE: If a new air supply valve O-ring does not resolve an air supply leak, do not attempt
to repair the air supply cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports, LLC, your local paintball dealer, or
a “C5” Certied Airsmith.

H
• Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range.
• To reduce the chance of an accidental discharge, follow the Unloading Your
Marker
(see page 9) and Air Supply Cylinder Removal (see page 11).
• Do not disassemble a marker while it is pressurized with air.
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker.
• Follow warnings listed on the air supply cylinder for handling and storage.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air supply cylinder.
• Contact the air supply cylinder manufacturer with any questions.
• Do not use any petroleum based cleaning solvents.
• Do not use any cleaning solvents that come in aerosol cans.
NOTE: Petroleum based products and aerosol products can damage your
marker’s O-rings.
• To clean your paintball marker use a damp towel to wipe off paint, oil, and debris.
• Use Tippmann® marker oil or other premium marker oil to maintain your marker
in good working condition. Oil with a few drops to the front bolt O-ring. Oil the air
supply valve O-ring.
Storage
Before storage, unload marker (see page 9) and remove air supply (see page 11). Then put
the trigger safety in Safe Mode (see page 6) and install the barrel sleeve (see page 4). Store
your marker in a dry area.
When removing your marker from storage, make sure the trigger safety is in Safe mode (see
page 6) and the barrel sleeve is installed (see page 4).
Field Barrel Cleaning
The cleaning port in the left side of the receiver (see circled area in Figure 5) has been
designed to clean the barrel in the eld from the breech end quickly and efciently with the
included barrel squeegee.
If this marker is kept clean and good quality paintballs are used, there is little chance of a ball
breaking. If a paintball should break in the barrel, follow these simple instructions to get back
into the game.
1. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range.
2. Turn marker right side down to prevent a ball from
dropping into the chamber and pump action all the
way rearward until the marker locks open.
3. Point the barrel down, and insert small end of
squeegee into the port (see Figure 5), and feed it into
the barrel until it extends out of the end of the barrel.
Figure 5: Cleaning Port Location
12
4. Grasp small end of squeegee and pull it through the barrel; it will pull the paint and
shell fragments out of the barrel.
5. You can now tilt the receiver back up to let a ball fall into the chamber and pump it
closed.
Field Disassembly
• Do not disassemble this marker while it is pressurized.
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker.
1. Perform the marker unloading instructions on page 9.
2. Perform the air supply removal instructions on page 11.
3. Using the supplied 3/16 allen wrench, loosen the barrel bolt at the front of the receiver
(item 16 on page 20).
4. The barrel, forearm grip, and front bolt will remove as an assembly by pulling straight
out on the forearm grip.
5. Tip the receiver forward to remove the bolt/hammer spring (item 18 on page 20), and
the hammer assembly (items 19, 20, 21, and 22 on page 20). You will have to pull
the trigger and tap the front of the receiver to get these parts out. The valve assembly
remains in the receiver.

• Issue — Blast of gas out the barrel when pumping.
Cause — Pump rod is screwed too far out of forearm grip (pump handle).
Solution —Turn rod into forearm grip two turns, reassemble and test. Repeat if
necessary.
• Issue — Marker will not cock.
Cause — Pump rod screwed too far into forearm grip.
Solution —Turn rod out of forearm grip two turns, reassemble, and test. Repeat if
necessary.
Cause — Velocity adjuster is too far out.
Solution — Turn velocity adjuster in (clockwise) until it is ush with bolt and marker
will cock.
• Issue — Gas leak around cylinder to receiver connection.
Cause — Worn out or damaged air supply cylinder O-ring.
Solution — Replace air supply cylinder O-ring, see page 11 for correct instructions.
• Issue — Minor gas leak.
Cause — Worn or damaged valve seat O-rings.
Solution— Replace valve seat O-ring or return valve it is defective.
• Issue — Marker will not re.
Cause — Trigger safety engaged.
Solution— Disengage trigger safety.
Cause — Empty or near-empty air cylinder.
Solution— Rell or replace air cylinder.
Cause — Barrel is sliding out of receiver.
Solution— Loosen, push barrel back into receiver, then tighten to specied torque
(see page 15).
Valve Troubleshooting
The valve is virtually maintenance free, and we do not recommend its removal unless it
develops a leak. Unlike the cylinder O-ring, the valve’s two O-rings are stationary and not
stressed due to wear.
In case of leaking O-rings, simply replace the two valve O-rings to correct the problem. If the
valve cup seal is leaking, return the entire valve assembly to Tippmann Sports, LLC.

Valve Removal
• Do not disassemble this marker while it is pressurized.
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker.
1. Unscrew the rear end cap by inserting an allen wrench through the hole in the end cap
and turning counter clockwise.
2. Remove the end cap and then pull the spring out.
3. Field strip the marker (see Field Disassembly on page 13) which allows you access
from the front of the receiver to push the valve out through the rear end cap opening.
Valve Installation
1. Inspect the O-rings.
2. Lubricate them with a light coat of oil or Molykote® 33 before re-assembly to avoid
O-ring damage.
3. Insert the valve into the rear of the receiver (valve tube rst).
4. Lightly coat the end cap O-ring with a light oil or Molykote® 33 to eliminate pinching the
O-ring.
5. Insert the valve spring and then turn the end cap into place by hand.
