Unloading Your Marker

To unload your marker remove the hopper or completely empty
the hopper. Then, point your marker in a safe direction and fire
E
several times to be sure there are no balls lodged in the chamber
and / or barrel. Install barrel sleeve (see page 2).

IMPORTANT: Do not uncock your marker as uncocking your
G
marker may push a ball into the chamber or down into the barrel
in which case the ball will be hidden from view.

Air Supply Cylinder Removal

I
To remove a charged air supply cylinder, turn the cylinder
S
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
H
marker. 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 remove
paintballs and air supply. Completely empty the hopper, point
your marker in a safe direction, fire several times to be sure
there are no balls lodged in the chamber and/or barrel or air left
in the marker. Install barrel sleeve (see page 2).
