Loading Paintballs
The performance of your marker is directly related to the quality of paintballs used. We highly
recommend Diablo paintballs to give you satisfaction and success on the playing field.
1. Confirm that Barrel Blocking Device is properly installed and the marker is on "Safe".
2. Point marker in a safe direction and load paintballs in the Feeder/Hopper. Be sure
to leave some room in the hopper for the balls to feed properly.
Chronographing
Never operate your marker without first checking the velocity and confirming that you are
firing below that required on the field of play. At no time should the marker fire paintballs in
excess of 300 feet per second. Higher velocities are not only potentially dangerous, they often
result in a substantial increase in paintballs broken in the marker.
1. Confirm that Barrel Blocking Device is properly installed and the marker is on "Safe".
2. Using a 5/64 hex key (not provided) make sure the Velocity Adjuster Set Screw
(12B) is backed out without removing it.
3. Make sure that you and anyone within range is wearing eye protection designed
specifically for paintball.
4. While pointing the paintball marker in a safe direction, remove the barrel blocking
device and move the safety to the fire position by pushing the safety from right to
left looking down the sights.
5. Point the marker over the chronograph and in a safe direction.
6. Pull the trigger and observe the reading on the chronograph.
7. To increase the velocity, turn the Velocity Adjuster (12) clockwise.
8. To decrease the velocity, turn the Velocity Adjuster counter-clockwise.
9. Once the desired velocity has been reached, use the 5/64 hex key (not provided) to
turn the Velocity Set Screw in until it binds against the Rear Plug. This will prevent
the velocity adjuster from moving during play and is required on most competition.
10. Re-install the Barrel Blocking Device and place the marker on "Safe".
11. Proceed to playing field.
12. Keep the safety in the "Safe" position and barrel blocking device in place until ready
to play.
De-Gassing
1. Make sure that you and anyone within range is wearing eye protection designed
specifically for paintball.
2. Set the safety the "Safe" position.
3. Point the marker in a safe direction.
4. If you are using a motorized feeder, turn it off.
5. Twist the upper thumb screw on the straight elbow until loose.
6. Invert the marker so that the hopper/feeder is upside down so that paintballs are no
longer feeding into the marker.
6
7. Remove the hopper/feeder from the marker.
8. Twisting the barrel in a counter-clockwise direction, remove it from the marker.
9. While pointing the paintball marker in a safe direction, push safety to the fire position.
10. Pull the trigger and allow the marker to cycle to confirm the absence of paintballs in
the marker's breech. If a ball discharges, repeat until no more paintballs come out
of the marker.
11. Unscrew the propellant cylinder approximately one complete revolution.
WARNING:
When removing the cylinder from the marker, it could fly off with enough force
to kill if the valve unscrews from the cylinder. LOOK at valve when removing cylinder. STOP if
valve starts to unscrew from the tank. Screw it back on and take it to a trained person for repair.
12. Pull the trigger until the marker fails to recock (if this takes more than 10 shots,
unscrew the cylinder an additional turn and repeat).
13. Remove (See Warning Above) the propellant cylinder.
Maintenance
WARNING:
All maintenance should be performed with an unloaded and degassed marker.
Bolt & Hammer
1. De-gas the marker according to previous directions.
2. Always perform maintenance over a smooth work surface. This will help prevent the
accidental loss of small parts.
3. Make sure bolt is in the forward position before proceeding.
4. Remove the Quik Strip Pin Retainer (5A) from the Quick Strip Pin (5).
5. Remove the Quik Strip Pin.
6. Remove Hammer Plug (24) from rear of main body.
7. Pull Bolt (28) from rear. This will also remove the Spring Strut (4), Main Spring (2),
Recoil Pad (3) and Hammer (1).
8. Clean the bolt thoroughly to include rinsing in warm water if needed.
9. Lubricate the Bolt and Hammer with non-corrosive lubricant such as Empire Lube or
Empire Oil.
10. Place the Bolt's Connecting Pin (28A) into the hole on top of the Hammer and while
pointing the marker downward guide this assembly in to the rear of the Main Body.
11. The Hammer will likely stop when it makes contact with the top of the Sear (37).
12. While putting slight pressure on the rear of the bolt, pull the trigger (this depresses
the Sear and allows the Bolt/Hammer assembly to travel forward.
13. Return the Main Spring, Recoil Pad and Spring Strut to their proper position.
14. Place the Hammer Plug into the rear of the Main Body with the longest portion over
the Main Spring/Spring Strut.
15. Push the Hammer Plug in and replace the Quik Strip Pin.
16. Replace the Quik Strip Pin Retainer.
