• Keep the barrel sleeve installed on marker when not shooting		H
(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.

Hand never shoot at velocities in excess of 300 feet per second (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 safety in

	6	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				E
debris, and the CycloneTM feeders turn freely when the manual
advance lever knob is pushed.				N
3) Make sure that the hopper is clean, free of sharp edges or				G
debris. This will keep the paintballs from breaking and feed the				L
marker smoothly.
4) Install the hopper neck into the CycloneTM feeder housing				I
aligning the hopper neck tab to fit into the cutout in the CycloneTM				S
feeder housing and turn counterclockwise		to secure.	With	H
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	Allen Wrench
velocity of your paintball marker
should be checked with a	Velocity
chronograph, an instrument for	Adjustment
measuring velocity, prior to playing	Screw
paintball to verify that the marker’s
velocity is set below 300 feet per
second or less if required by the	Feeder Manual
playing field.	Advance Lever

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.

STEP 5) Rear Sight Adjustment

Rear Sight If your marker fires to low: Rotate the Adjuster rear sight adjuster counterclockwise to

raise the impact point.

If your marker fires to high: Rotate the rear sight adjuster clockwise to lower the impact point.

Unloading Your Marker

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

N To unload your marker:

G1) Install the barrel sleeve (see page 2). 2) Empty and remove the hopper.

L 3) Go to a designated firing area and remove the barrel sleeve. I 4) Point your marker in a safe direction and fire several times to S be sure there are no balls lodged in the chamber and / or barrel.

IMPORTANT: Do not uncock your marker as uncocking your marker H may push a ball into the chamber or down into the barrel in which

case the ball will be hidden from view. 5) Install the barrel sleeve (see page 2).

6) Visually inspect the CycloneTM Feeder and chamber for paintballs.

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 Unloading Your Marker and Air Supply Cylinder Removal instructions (see above). Install barrel sleeve (see page 2).

Cleaning & Maintenance

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

Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks
The most common leak occurs from a bad air supply valve o-ring.			E
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			N
supply valve. The best valve o-rings are made of urethane.			G
The urethane o-rings are not affected by high air supply
pressures. These may be purchased from Tippmann® or your			L
local paintball dealer.			I
NOTE: If new valve o-ring does not resolve air supply leak, do not			S
attempt to repair air supply cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports,			H
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).
