Getting Started

General Description and Basic Use Instructions
Included with your PT Xtreme semi-auto should be the
following items:
• PT Xtreme Semi-Auto
• Barrel
• Packet with o-rings, velocity thumb
screw, and allen wrench
• Instruction manual
The 32 Degrees PT Xtreme is almost ready to use out of
the box. All that is needed is a C02 tank, paintballs, and a
feeder, and then you are ready use your marker.
With your paintball approved goggles on and the safety
in the "safe" position, screw your C02 tank into the
constant air adapter, or for 12-gram versions, after
cocking the gun, lift the 12-gram cartridge quick
disconnect latch and install the 12-gram cartridge with
the thin end facing the back end of the marker. Be sure
to chronograph the PT Xtreme before using it.

Now that the goggles are on make sure your marker is in
the cocked position. Install the C02 cartridge and your PT
Xtreme is ready to fire. Make sure you chronograph your
marker before you use it. Like any other paint marker,
maintenance is the key to keeping the PT Xtreme shoot-
ing consistently. This chapter is a basic overview of what
it takes to keep the PT Xtreme functioning properly.
If you have the bottom-line version of the PT Xtreme
you can simply screw the C02 tank into the
bottom-line C02 tank adapter.
Lubrication: To keep your PT Xtreme's internal
components operating smoothly, place about four
drops of oil in your gun's C02 adapter and dry fire the
gun (after removing the barrel). This will spread the
oil throughout the gun. After cleaning your PT Xtreme
internally, lube the hammer/push strut assembly as
well--be careful not to over-oil this area.
Warning: Some petroleum based oils can damage
your gun's o-rings. Use only oil manufactured
specifically for paintball markers.If you expect any degree
of consistency from your PT Xtreme, you must keep it
clean internally and externally. The two external areas
you'll need to be the most careful with are the power
feed/feed tube and the barrel. If you break a ball in the
barrel, you will lose most of your accuracy until you clean
it completely. On the field, remove the barrel and run a
pull-through squeegee through it. For a more complete
cleaning (off the field) you'll need to clean the barrel
with warm water or barrel cleaner/treatment and
squeegee it until it is dry. A pull-through squeegee can
also be used to clean the power feed once the plug
is removed.
