Storage

Before storage, unload marker (see page 9) and remove air supply (see page 11). Then put
the trigger safety in Safe Mode (see page 6) and install the barrel sleeve (see page 4). Store
your marker in a dry area.
When removing your marker from storage, make sure the trigger safety is in Safe mode (see
page 6) and the barrel sleeve is installed (see page 4).

Field Barrel Cleaning

The cleaning port in the left side of the receiver (see circled area in Figure 5) has been
designed to clean the barrel in the field from the breech end quickly and efficiently with the
included barrel squeegee.
If this marker is kept clean and good quality paintballs are used, there is little chance of a ball
breaking. If a paintball should break in the barrel, follow these simple instructions to get back
into the game.
1. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range.
2. Turn marker right side down to prevent a ball from
dropping into the chamber and pump action all the
way rearward until the marker locks open.
3. Point the barrel down, and insert small end of
squeegee into the port (see Figure 5), and feed it into
the barrel until it extends out of the end of the barrel.
