To turn ON the trigger safety (Safe mode), push in the safety (arrow) as shown above.

To turn OFF the trigger safety (Fire mode), push in the safety from the opposite side of the 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 you are 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 marker in Safe mode until ready to shoot (page 6).

• Keep the barrel blocking device installed on marker when not shooting (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, and/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 muzzle pointed down or in a safe direction, even if you stumble or fall.

• Eye, face, and ear protection designed specically to stop paintballs in the form of goggles and full face mask meeting ASTM Specication 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 the 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/CO2 supply (see unloading and air/CO2 removal instructions on pages 9 -11) and install the barrel blocking device (see page 4).

• Do not eld strip or otherwise disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with air/CO2 supply.

• Dress appropriately when playing the game of paintball. Avoid exposing any skin when playing the game of paintball. Even a light layer will absorb some of the impact and protect you from the paintballs.

• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air/CO2 cylinder or if the marker or air/CO2 supply is leaking. Compressed air, CO2, and nitrogen 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 inuence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal disregard for public safety.

• Avoid shooting an opponent at point blank, 6 feet or less.

• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air/CO2 cylinder or adapter. Contact the air/CO2 cylinder or adapter manufacturer with any questions.

• Read the Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings and Safety Tips on pages 22–24 before beginning the cylinder installation or removal.

• 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 10).

WARNING

Keep exposed skin away from gas escape points (arrows) when installing or removing a CO2 cartridge, or if the marker or air supply is leaking. Compressed air, CO2, and nitrogen gasses are very cold, and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.

Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person within range.

NOTE: If your marker does not re after you have successfully loaded and punctured your CO2 cartridge, put the trigger safety back into Safe mode (see page 4) and go to Troubleshooting on page 19.

2. Removing the Magazine and Loading

The barrel blocking device must be installed (see page 4) and the trigger safety in Safe mode (see arrow at right and also see page 6).

a. To remove the Magazine, push in the Magazine Release

button and the Magazine ejects out the bottom of the grip.

b. The Ball Carrier inside the Magazine has two tabs, one on each

side of the Magazine. To load the Magazine, push down on the Ball Carrier tabs until the Ball Carrier locks in place near the bottom of the Magazine. (It automatically releases when inserted into the marker.)

c. Keep the Magazine vertical as shown, and insert one paintball at

a time into the top of the Magazine. The Magazine holds seven paintballs. Paintballs in the Magazine are not under pressure until the Magazine is inserted into the marker.

d. To insert a loaded Magazine into the marker, slide the Magazine

into the grip until you hear it lock into place. Only remove the barrel blocking device and change the trigger safety to Fire mode when you are ready to shoot. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person within range. The Sight Windows allow you to see when you are low on paintballs in the Magazine.

3. Firing the Marker

Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person within range. Point the marker in a safe direction. Remove the barrel blocking device from the marker. Move the trigger safety from Safe mode to Fire mode. Pull the Trigger to re the marker. Each pull of the Trigger res one paintball

4. Unloading the Magazine

a. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person

within range.

b. Remove the Magazine from the TPX marker. When removing the Magazine,

two loose paintballs might drop from the grip. Inspect the breech chamber for a paintball. The Breech Window (16) on top of the receiver provides a way to check for a paintball in the breech chamber. Point the marker in a safe direction and pull the trigger (dry re) to clear the marker of any remaining paintballs. Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device (see page 4).

c. Push the Magazine’s Ball Carrier down until it locks into place (see step 2.b. above)

to take pressure off any remaining paintballs in the Magazine. You can then reload any loose paintballs into the Magazine.

d. To remove all paintballs from the Magazine, press down on the top of the Carrier

Release Armature with a at object, and any remaining paintballs are pushed out the top of the Magazine (Magazine parts are shown on page 13).

TIP: For best results and to keep your TPX marker running at peak performance, it is

recommended you use a paintball that is not too old or fragile, and is free of dimples or defects. To determine if the paintball is proper for use with the TPX marker, press the tip of your ngernail against the paintball to see if it is easily dimpled. Tippmann discourages leaving paintballs sitting in Magazines for an extended period of time, as this can lead to the paintball becoming out of round. Only load Magazines with paintballs on the day of play.

Velocity Adjustment

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 velocity, use the 3/16” Allen wrench included with your marker. The Velocity Adjustment Screw is located at the back of the receiver, as shown at right. (Do not use a smaller Allen wrench and mistakenly adjust the Regulator Pressure Relief Valve Set Screw which is accessed through the Velocity Adjustment Set Screw - see note below.) To reduce the velocity, turn the screw counterclockwise. To increase the velocity, turn the screw clockwise.

NOTE: This marker has a Regulator Pressure Relief Valve that prevents excessive air/CO2 pressure that could damage your marker, and is factory set at 350 psi. If a cartridge with excessive air/CO2 pressure is loaded, or if extreme temperature conditions cause excessive cartridge pressure buildup, it will vent excessive gas out the access point. Adjust only as outlined in the Regulator Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment instructions on page 19.

CO2 Cartridge Removal

Do not store or disassemble a marker with the CO2 cartridge (punctured or unpunctured) installed. If your marker has an optional remote line adapter kit installed, do not remove the CO2 cartridge until you rst follow the air/CO2 cylinder removal instructions in the Remote

Line Adapter instructions on page 21. Read each step completely before performing the

instruction.

Removing an Unused CO2 Cartridge (Non-Punctured)

1. Put the trigger safety in the Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device (see page 4).

2. Press the Magazine Release button (4) and the Magazine (78) ejects out of the grip. NOTE: When removing a loaded Magazine from the marker, two loose paintballs might drop from the grip. Pull the Magazine’s Ball Carrier down until it locks to take pressure off the paintballs, and reload any loose paintballs into the Magazine.

3. Keep the marker pointed in a safe direction, and remove the CO2 Cap (15).

a. Push in and turn the CO2 Cap counterclockwise until it stops. Then pull out until it

stops to partially unscrew the cap. NOTE: The cap should be easy to turn; if you are unable to turn it, or if it is difcult to turn, the cartridge has been punctured and you must follow the instructions below, Removing a Used CO2 Cartridge

(Punctured)

b. Turn the CO2 Cap a second turn counterclockwise until it stops and pull it out. The

empty CO2 cartridge will then slide out.

4. Replace the CO2 Cap. Align the cap pins with the pin guides of the Cap Receiver Insert (14). Push the cap in and turn clockwise. Push the cap in a second time and turn clockwise.

Removing a Used CO2 Cartridge (Punctured)

NOTE: A punctured CO2 cartridge must be emptied before it is removed.

1. Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device (see page 4).

2. Press the Magazine release button (4) and the Magazine (78) ejects out of the grip. NOTE: When removing a loaded Magazine from the marker, two loose paintballs might drop from the grip. Push the Magazine’s Ball Carrier down until it locks to take pressure off the paintballs, and reload any loose paintballs into the Magazine.

3. Go to a designated ring area and remove the barrel blocking device.

4. Point the marker in a safe direction, move the trigger safety to Fire mode, and re until there is no CO2 left in the cartridge. NOTE: If you have a punctured cartridge in your marker and the marker will not re, follow the instructions on page 17, Release

Pressure From a Marker That Will Not Fire

5. Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device (see page 4).

6. Visually inspect the chamber for paintballs through the Magazine opening at the bottom of the grip.

7. Keep the marker pointed in a safe direction during CO2 Cap removal.

a. Keep exposed skin away from escaping CO2 - the arrows in the WARNING

illustration on page 10 show CO2 escape points. Push in and turn the CO2 Cap slowly counterclockwise until it stops, and pull until it stops to partially unscrew the cap, then wait as any remaining CO2 in the cartridge escapes before performing step (b) (keep exposed skin away from escaping CO2).

b. Turn the CO2 Cap a second turn counterclockwise until it stops and pull it out. The

empty cartridge then slides out.

8. Replace the CO2 Cap by aligning the CO2 Cap pins with the pin guides of the Cap Receiver Insert (14) and pushing the Cap in while turning clockwise. Push the Cap in a second time, turn clockwise, and release.

8. Remove and dispose of the CO2 cartridge (see Because manufacturer’s tolerances vary for CO2 cartridge length, steps 1 through 6 may need to be repeated in order to nd the optimal setting for your particular brand of CO2 cartridge.

Additional Information Regarding Performance

1. For best results, and to keep your TPX pistol running at peak performance, it is recommended that you use a paintball that is not too old or fragile and free of dimples or defects. Tippmann also discourages leaving paint in Magazines for an extended period of time as this can lead to the paintball deforming. Only load Magazines the day of play.

2. To determine if the paintballs are appropriate for use with the TPX pistol, press the tip of your ngernail against a paintball to determine if it is easily dimpled. If the paintball dimples, this paintball should not be used in the TPX pistol.

3. Please thoroughly read this TPX manual, and in particular, review the Magazine

Removal, Loading, and Unloading

Magazine. Proper loading will ensure proper feeding of the paintballs into your TPX pistol.

Regulator Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment

The regulator pressure relief valve is factory set to 350 psi. Do not reset it higher than 350 psi because that could cause damage to marker parts or cause personal injury. If you disassemble the Regulator (page 17) and remove the indicated parts from item #71, you will need to reset the Regulator Pressure Relief Valve before using your marker.

1. Adjust the velocity as outlined in Velocity Adjustment on page 10 until your marker chronographs at 300 fps.

2. Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device (see page 4). Remove the Magazine as outlined in Magazine Removal, Loading, and Unloading (see page 9).

3. Insert a 1/8” wrench through the Velocity Adjuster Set Screw (S) and into the Regulator Relief Set Screw (V) and turn it slowly counterclockwise only until air/CO2 begins to escape through the Relief Valve. Then turn the set screw slowly back clockwise only until air/CO2 stops escaping, setting the relief pressure. NOTE: Do not turn any further clockwise which would set it higher than 350 psi. This could cause damage to marker parts or cause personal injury.

4. Follow the Velocity Adjustment Instructions on page 10 to adjust the velocity until the marker chronographs to 300 fps or less.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM: You have successfully loaded and punctured a new cartridge, put the trigger

safety in Fire mode. Your marker will not re and you can’t get the CO2 cartridge out of the marker.

SOLUTION: Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device (see page 4). Remove the Magazine as outlined in Magazine Removal (see page 9). Follow the instructions Release Pressure From a Marker That Will Not Fire on page 17.

PROBLEM: Air/CO2 is leaking out of the gas vent hole (see arrow).

SOLUTION: The most common air/CO2 leak is caused by a dirty or damaged puncture seal. Check the Puncture Seal (36) for dirt or damage (see Puncture Valve Disassembly on page 16).

PROBLEM: Magazine will not feed paintballs correctly.

SOLUTION: Try using fresh paintballs SOLUTION: Clean the Magazine with a damp towel to wipe off paint, grease, and debris. Dry

springs immediately, if necessary, to help prevent rusting.

PROBLEM: You pull the trigger, and the marker does not pressurize.

SOLUTION: Adjust the CO2 Cap assembly (see instructions on page 18).

PROBLEM: Air/CO2 is leaking from the air/CO2 cylinder connection to the remote coil tank

adapter. SOLUTION: The most common leak occurs from a bad air/CO2 cylinder valve O-ring (see

Repairing Air/CO2 Cylinder Leaks on page 24).

Problems After Disassembly/Assembly Of Your Marker

Failure to reassemble parts correctly can cause damage to parts, air/CO2 leaks, and other

problems. Always double check to be sure parts are clean, not damaged, lubricated, and

installed correctly when you disassemble/reassemble your marker.

PROBLEM: You pull the trigger and the marker does not pressurize.

S H

SOLUTION: Check that the puncture pin cap (44) is installed (see Puncture Valve

Disassembly

SOLUTION: Adjust the CO2 cap (see page 18).

PROBLEM: You install a cartridge and you hear air/CO2 leaking.

SOLUTION: Check to be sure the O-rings of the long gas line and the short gas line are not damaged (see Marker Disassembly on page 14).

PROBLEM: The Regulator (#77 in illustration on previous page) vents air/CO2 continuously.

SOLUTION: Adjust the Pressure Relief Valve (see page 19). SOLUTION: Check the Regulator Pin (68) for dirt, damage, or if it is not inserted into the

Regulator Piston (71) properly. Clean, inspect, and replace if damaged. NOTE: When assembling, be sure the Regulator Pin seats into the Regulator Piston (see

Regulator Disassembly on page 17).

PROBLEM: You pull the trigger back and it binds and will not release.

SOLUTION: Check the Firing Pin (51) for misalignment. Disassemble the Firing Valve and make sure the Firing Pin is pushed in ush with the Firing Valve Body during assembly (see

Firing Valve Disassembly on page 15).

PROBLEM: There is air/CO2 leaking out of the barrel.

SOLUTION: Check the Front Valve Spool O-ring (60) for dirt or damage (see Air Valve

Disassembly

PROBLEM: When the trigger is pulled slowly, a short leaking sound is normal. The leak

continues without the gun ring. SOLUTION: Check the Valve Spool rear O-ring (61) and the Air Valve End Cap O-ring (61) for

dirt or damage (see Air Valve Disassembly diagram on page 16).

PROBLEM: The trigger will not move at all when trying to re.

SOLUTION: Check the trigger safety (22) to be sure it is not installed backwards. The red O-ring (32) should be on the left side of the marker (PUSH SAFE is embossed on this side), and the black O-ring (31) on the right side of the marker (PUSH FIRE is embossed on this side) (see Marker Disassembly on page 14).

PROBLEM: You re the marker but no paintballs are red.

SOLUTION: If the Front Bolt (54) sticks in the forward position, paintballs will not load. Check the Ball Latch (24) to be sure it is not installed backwards (see Marker Disassembly on page 14).

SOLUTION: If the Front Bolt (54) is installed correctly and does not return completely, the paintballs will not load. Check the Barrel Adapter (25) and the Air Valve Assembly (23) for dirt or damage (see Marker Disassembly on page 14).

NOTE: If a problem still exists, contact Tippmann Service Department at 1-800-533-4831 or see your local paintball dealer.

Remote Line Adapter (optional equipment)

NOTE: The following includes instructions for installation, turning on, and turning off the air/ CO2 cylinder of the Tippmann H-01 Remote Line. If your remote line is not this Tippmann model, follow the instructions provided with your remote line for installation, turning on, and turning off the remote air/CO2 cylinder.

Connecting, Disconnecting, and Removing a Remote Air/CO2 Cylinder

1. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person within range. Put trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6). Install the barrel blocking device (see page 4). Remove and unload the Magazine (go to page 9 and follow

Magazine Removal, Loading, and Unloading instructions).

2. Pull and hold the Remote Coil tting Locking Ring (A) down to connect or remove the Remote Coil tting (B).

3. To connect to the marker, with the Locking Ring (A) held down, push the coil tting (B) up onto the nipple (C) and release the locking ring up to lock (D). Pull down on the Remote Coil tting (E) to be sure it is locked properly.

4. Before attaching the air/CO2 cylinder to the Remote Line, markers with a Remote Line Adaptor must rst have an empty 12 gram CO2 cartridge installed to operate properly. Turn off the Remote Line air/CO2 ow control valve (F) by turning the ow control (G) counterclockwise outward until it stops (see illustration at right). Install a 12 gram CO2 cartridge by following the CO2 Cartridge Installation instructions on page 8. Empty the cartridge of all CO2 by following steps 1-6 in

Removing a Used CO2 Cartridge (Punctured) on page 11,

leaving the empty cartridge installed in the marker.

5. Install the air/CO2 cylinder. First mark the cylinder and cylinder valve if necessary (see Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings and

Safety Tips on pages 22-24). Lubricate the cylinder valve

O-ring with a little marker grease, then insert the cylinder valve end into the Air Supply Adapter (ASA) of the Remote Line. Twist the cylinder clockwise into the ASA (H) until it stops. Your marker is ready to re once you:

• turn on the ow control (G) clockwise all the way in (J),

• remove the barrel blocking device, and

• switch the trigger safety from Safe mode to Fire mode.

To turn off the air/CO2 supply, turn the ow control (G) completely clockwise out (F). To turn on air supply, turn ow control counterclockwise completely in (J).

NOTE: If the air/CO2 cylinder is full, and you do not hear the marker pressurize, the Pin Valve could be too short or the Pin Valve Seal is damaged. You will need to remove the remote air/CO2 cylinder and take it to a “C5” Certied Airsmith for repair.

right. Whenever you turn the air/CO2 cylinder (2) during removal, watch the mark (4) on the cylinder and the mark (3) on the cylinder valve to be sure that they rotate together. If you see the marks begin to separate (5), STOP! and take your marker to a qualied professional, such as a “C5” certied airsmith.

8. Turn the cylinder approximately 3/4 turn counterclockwise. This allows the air supply pin valve to close so that no air will enter the marker. Point the marker in a safe direction and discharge the remaining gas in the marker by pulling the trigger until the marker stops ring. 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) and you will have to 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/CO2 Cylinder Leaks on page 24).

9. After the air/CO2 cylinder is removed, point and re the marker in a safe direction until stored air is completely discharged. NOTE: Before storing or disassembling be sure to follow Magazine Removal,

Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings

WARNING

The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (#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).

Refer to the gure at right. 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/CO2 adaptor of the paintball marker, when in fact he or she is 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 the gure at right, the cylinder is starting to unscrew from the cylinder valve and you must STOP and take the entire unit to a “C5” certied 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” certied airsmith for safe removal and/or repair.

Locate a “C5” Certied Airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com/search.asp. Whether you have a new or used rellable air/CO2 cylinder, you are at risk if any of the

following has occurred:

• 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 modication was done to the rellable air/CO2 cylinder.

If any of these conditions has occurred, take your air/CO2 cylinder to a “C5” Certied Airsmith for inspection or contact the cylinder manufacturer.

Air/CO2 Cylinder Safety Tips

E N G

I S H

SAFETY TIPS to ensure that your air/CO2 cylinder is safe for play:

• Improper use, lling, storage, or disposal of air/CO2 cylinder may result in property damage, serious personal injury or death.

• Make sure that any maintenance or modication to any air/CO2 cylinder is done by a qualied professional, such as a “C5” certied airsmith.

• The use of anti-siphon devices is not recommended. However, if one is already installed on your air/CO2 cylinder or is desired, it is critical that your cylinder be checked by, or the device installed by, a qualied professional.

• All air/CO2 cylinders must be lled only by properly trained personnel.

• Cylinder valves must be installed only by properly trained personnel.

• Do not overll a cylinder! Never exceed the air/CO2 cylinder’s capacity.

• Do not expose pressurized air/CO2 cylinder to temperatures exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius).

• Do not use caustic cleaners or strippers on the air/CO2 cylinder or cylinder valve and do not expose to corrosive materials.

• Do not modify the air/CO2 cylinder in any way. Never try to disassemble the cylinder valve from the air/CO2 cylinder.

• Any air/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.

E N G

I S H

• 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/CO2, or if the marker or air/CO2 is leaking. Compressed air and CO2 gasses are very cold, and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.

NOTE: Locate a “C5” certied airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com/search.asp

Repairing Air/CO2 Cylinder Leaks

The most common leak occurs from a bad air/CO2 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/CO2 valve. The best valve O-rings are made of urethane. Urethane O-rings are not affected by high air/CO2 pressures. These may be purchased from Tippmann or your local paintball dealer.

NOTE: If a new air/CO2 valve O-ring does not resolve an air/CO2 leak, do not attempt to repair the air/CO2 cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports, LLC, your local paintball dealer, or a “C5” Certied Airsmith.

Storage

Before storage, follow the Magazine Removal, Loading, and Unloading instructions on page 9 and CO2 Cartridge Removal instructions on page 10 (on page 21 for markers with a Remote Line Adapter installed). Do not store a marker with any of the following installed:

• 12 gram air/CO2 supply cartridge (punctured or unpunctured)

• an air/CO2 cylinder

• Magazine

Store the Magazine empty, with the Ball Carrier in its topmost position. Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device (see

page 4). You should store your marker in a dry area. Before storing your marker, make sure that the marker is cleaned and lubricated (see Cleaning & Maintenance on page 12) so that it does not rust.

When removing your marker out of storage, make sure that the trigger safety is in Safe mode (see page 6) and the barrel blocking device is installed (see page 4).
