Air Supply Cylinder Removal

❏ Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and
any person within range.
To remove a charged air supply cylinder:
1) ❏ Follow the Unloading Your Marker instructions above.
2) ❏ With the barrel blocking device installed, turn the cylinder
approximately 3/4 of a turn counterclockwise
air supply pin valve to close so that no air will enter the 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 continues to fire, the tank pin valve has not closed yet
(because of the variances in tank pin valve parts, each tank varies
slightly on exactly how far it should be turned) and ❏ you will have to
turn the tank counterclockwise
until the marker does not fire, ❏ then remove the tank.
• NOTE: If during this step - you turned the tank and it began to leak
before you pulled the trigger, the tank o-ring should be checked for
damage before reassembly.)
3) After air tank is removed, ❏ point & fire the marker in a safe direction
until stored air is completely discharged
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling be sure to follow ❏ Unloading
Your Marker and ❏ Air Supply Cylinder Removal instructions (see above).
❏ Install the barrel blocking device (see page 2).

Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks

The most common leak occurs from a bad air supply valve o-ring. To
replace a valve o-ring you must first remove the bad o-ring and then install
a new one. This o-ring is located on the tip of your air supply valve. The
best valve o-rings are made of urethane. The urethane o-rings are not
affected by high air supply pressures. These may be purchased from
Tippmann TM or your local paintball dealer.
NOTE: If new valve o-ring does not resolve air supply leak, do not attempt
to repair air supply cylinder. Contact Tippmann
dealer.

Storage

Before storage unload and remove air supply (see page 14). Do
not pressurize a partially assembled marker. Then install barrel
blocking device (see page 2) and put your marker in Safe Mode
(see page 4). You should store your marker in a dry area. Before
storing your marker make sure that the marker is cleaned and oiled
(see cleaning and maintenance on page 14) so that it does not rust. Store
® marker oil or other premium
and tip out
TM or your local paintball
