can only survive and grow if it remains SAFE!
• Do not load or fire 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 finger 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 marker on “SAFE” = until ready to shoot (see
page 4).
• Keep the barrel sleeve installed on marker when not shooting
(see page 2).
• Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Never fire your marker at anything you do not intend to shoot
because there may be balls or foreign debris lodged in the
chamber, barrel and / or the marker valve.
• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
• Never fire your marker at personal property of others, the paintball
can stain the paint of automobiles and houses.
• Always keep the muzzle pointed down or in a safe direction, even
if you stumble or fall.
• Eye, face and ear protection designed specifically to stop paintballs
in the form of goggles and full face mask meeting ASTM Specification
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.
• NOTE: Before storing or disassembling be sure to remove
paintballs and air supply (see unloading and air supply removal
on page 10). Install the barrel sleeve (see page 2).
• Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secure place.
• Do not field 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

and never shoot at velocities in excess of 300 feet per second
H
(see instructions on page 7).
GETTING STARTED:
❏
Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user
and any person within range.
STEP 1: Prepare Marker for Air Supply Cylinder Installation
Before installing the air supply, ❏ install the Barrel and Front Grip as
outlined on page 15 (do not install the hopper until STEP 3:).
STEP 2: Air Supply Cylinder Installation
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled paintball marker.
1)❏ Install barrel sleeve (see instructions on page 2).
2)❏ Put the trigger safety in Safe Mode = (see page 4
instructions).
3)❏ Cock the marker by sliding the bolt handle all the way back
until you hear / feel it click into place. Then release cocking handle.
Cocking handle will slide forward. Marker is now cocked. Always
keep marker in the cocked position when air supply is attached to
marker. This will help prevent an accidental discharge.
4) To install the air supply cylinder, ❏ lubricate the cylinder valve
o-ring with a little Tippmann® paintball 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 adapter until it
stops. Your marker is ready to fire once you switch to the Fire
Mode = from the Safe Mode = . If the tank is full and
you do not hear the air supply engage, the pin valve could be too
short or the pin valve seal is damaged.
STEP 3: Hopper and CycloneTM Feeder
1) ❏ Barrel Sleeve must be installed (see page 2) and
6
❏
safety in
Getting Started
(continued on page 7)
Getting Started (continued from page 6)
Safe Mode= (see page 4) before filling the hopper.
2) ❏ Make sure that the CycloneTM feeder housing is clean, free of
debris, and the CycloneTM feeders turn freely when the manual
advance lever knob is pushed.
3) ❏ Make sure that the hopper is clean, free of sharp edges or
debris. This will keep the paintballs from breaking and feed the
marker smoothly.
4) ❏ Install the hopper neck into the Cyclone
TM
feeder housing
aligning the hopper neck tab to fit into the cutout in the Cyclone
feeder housing and turn counterclockwise to secure. ❏ With
the barrel sleeve installed and ❏ safety in Safe Mode = , you

are now ready to ❏ load your hopper with paintballs. After filling
the hopper with paintballs the chamber will still be empty. You
need to push the feeder manual advance lever to chamber a
paintball. Only remove barrel sleeve and turn off the safety
when ready to shoot.
STEP 4: Velocity Adjustment
Each time you play paintball, the
velocity of your paintball marker
should be checked with a
chronograph, an instrument for
measuring velocity , prior to playing
paintball to verify that the marker’s
velocity is set below 300 feet per
second or less if required by the
playing field.
To adjust the velocity: ❏ use the ( 3/16” ) allen wrench included with
your marker. The velocity adjustment screw is located on the right
side of the receiver. ❏ To adjust the velocity down, turn the screw
inward or clockwise . ❏ To turn the velocity up, turn the screw out
or counterclockwise . Do not remove velocity screw. NOTE: You
must turn the velocity screw all the way in before doing any disassembly .

IMPORTANT: Do not uncock your marker as uncocking your marker

Air Supply Cylinder Removal
❏
Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user
and any person within range.
To remove a charged air supply cylinder:
1)
❏
Install the barrel sleeve (see page 2).
2)
❏
Turn the cylinder approximately 3/4 of a turn counterclockwise
or out. This allows the air supply pin valve to close so that no air
will enter the marker.
3)
❏
Point the marker in a safe direction and fire the remaining gas 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.
• Because of the variances in tank valve parts, each tank varies slightly
on exactly how far it should be turned. If this process does not work
the tank pin valve could be too long.
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling be sure to follow
Your Marker and

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 first 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.
The urethane o-rings are not affected by high air supply
pressures. These may be purchased from Tippmann® or your
local paintball dealer.
NOTE: If new valve o-ring does not resolve air supply leak, do not
attempt to repair air supply cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports,
LLC or your local paintball dealer.

Storage
Before storage, unload and remove air supply (see page 10). Install
the Barrel Sleeve (see page 2) and put your marker in Safe Mode
= (see page 4). (You should store your marker in a dry area.)
Before storing your marker make sure that the marker is cleaned
and oiled (see Cleaning and Maintenance on page 10) so that it
does not rust. Store your marker with the bolt in the forward position,
uncocked. To uncock the marker, hold the bolt cocking handle back
3/4 - then pull the trigger and release handle forward which will
uncock the marker.
When removing your marker out of storage make sure Barrel Sleeve
is installed (see page 2) and safety is in Safe Mode = (see
page 4). You should re-oil the rear bolt and the front bolt o-ring before
use (see Drive Assembly Removal and Installation on page 13).
