Set up a table with plenty of space to work.
You Will Need: Small screw driver, 1/8" allen wrench & 9 volt battery.
STEP 1: PREPARE MARKER FOR SAFE
DISASSEMBLY before beginning disassembly.
To do so, you must: (1-unload marker; (2-remove air source; (3-discharge
stored air; (4-uncock marker before further disassembly.
1) Unload your marker: first remove the hopper. Then, point your marker
in a safe direction and fire several times to be sure there are no balls left
in the feeder or lodged in the chamber.
2) Remove tank: To remove a charged air cylinder, turn the cylinder
approximately 3/4 of a turn counterclockwise or out. This allows the
tank pin valve to close so that no air will enter the marker. Point the
marker in a safe direction and fire the remaining air 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.
3) After air tank is removed, point & fire the marker in a safe
direction until stored air is completely discharged.
4) Put the marker in the uncocked position: hold the bolt cocking
handle back - then pull the trigger and release handle forward to
un-cock the marker.
