(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 =
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
cylinder valve end into the air supply adapter at the back end of the
marker grip. Twist the cylinder clockwise
stops. Your marker is ready to fire once you switch to the Fire
Mode = from the Safe Mode =
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 Cyclone

Safe Mode= (see page 4) before filling the hopper.
2) ❏ Make sure that the Cyclone
debris, and the Cyclone feeders turn freely when the manual
TM
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
aligning the hopper neck tab to fit into the cutout in the Cyclone
feeder housing and turn counterclockwise
the barrel sleeve installed and ❏ safety in Safe Mode =
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
. ❏ To turn the velocity up, turn the screw out
inward or clockwise
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
If your marker fires to low:
