OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. CO

Cylinder Connection:

2
• VISUALLY inspect chamber to be sure weapon is not
loaded.
• Be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction.
WARNING: When you pressurize your SL-68 II or
any paintball gun it is possible that a leak in the
valve would allow air to pass into the chamber and
fire a ball unintentionally!
• Hold the gun with your left hand. With your right hand
twist the cylinder clockwise into the port at the rear of the
pistol grip until it stops. Gun is now ready to fire.
• The valve stem visible in the end of the cylinder tank
valve is depressed on the last turn into the receiver. If a
CO leak is present in the tank to receiver connection
2
the o-ring has been damaged and must be replaced. A
small amount of Lithium grease on the threads and o-
ring will prolong o-ring life.

2. Safety Switch:

The gun safety switch is located on the side of the gun
just above the trigger. With your gun facing forward in a
safe direction, push the safety to the right for the "safe"
position. To fire the gun, push your safety to the left.
Familiarize yourself and your playing partners with the
rules of safety on pages 1 & 2.
3. Loading / Unloading Ammo:
Loading: Insert Ammo-box into the spout of the receiver.
Tighten clamp bolt to secure box but be careful not to
over tighten and collapse ammo box feed tube.
• Fill ammo box with .68 caliber paintballs.
Do not force excessive numbers of paintballs into the
ammo box.
Unloading: To unload, remove ammo box or open ammo
box then turn gun upside down to shake all balls from
ammo box and chamber area. Then fire gun in a safe
direction to clear any balls that may be in barrel or
chamber area.

4. Firing:

Grip the pump handle with your left hand and the pistol
grip in your right hand, pump the handle rearward until it
runs out of travel then push it back forward until it again
runs out of travel. This should be done in one fluid motion
for best feeding results. Take gun off safety by pushing
safety button to the left (off) position. Gun is now ready to
point in a safe direction and pull trigger to fire.
5. Removing CO Cylinder
2
Twist cylinder counterclockwise 3/4 turn. This closes
the cylinder valve. Then point the gun in a safe direction
and pull the trigger.
(Caution: Gun will fire approximately 3 more times until
CO charge in receiver is gone.)
2
NOTE: Removing the constant air cylinder from the
receiver while the weapon is still charged with CO
damage the o-ring.
Now, twist cylinder free from receiver for storing or when
not in use. Caution: If this procedure is not followed
you could destroy your tank o-ring, causing CO
to leak when reconnected to the gun.

6. Velocity Adjustment

The SL-68 II is factory pre-adjusted to approximately 300
F.P.S. It can be adjusted from 215 to approximately 315
F.P.S. with the velocity adjustment set screw. This enables
you to adjust the velocity of your SL-68 II to meet the
playing field standards under a variety of condition extremes
such as temperature, humidity and altitude which can
affect performance.
SET SCREW LOCATION: The velocity adjustment set
screw is visible in the port and can be adjusted without
any gun disassembly.
WARNING: Do not exceed 300 F.P.S. for maximum
accuracy and minimum use of CO
require 300 F.P.S. or Lower velocities for safe play.
TOOLS: A 3mm allen wrench has been included with
your SL-68 II for set screw velocity adjustment.
