GETTING STARTED

Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user
and any person within range.
STEP 1) Prepare Marker for Air Supply Cylinder Installation
• For Models: 98 Custom
E-Trigger TM - You must first read and follow E-Trigger Operating
Instructions (on pages 8-13) before performing STEP 2.
• For 98 Custom TM , 98 Custom Response
Custom Pro TM Response
STEP 2) Air Supply Cylinder Installation
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled paintball marker.
• First install barrel sleeve (see instructions on page 2).
• Next put trigger safety in Safe Mode (see instructions on page 4).
• Next you need to cock the marker by sliding the bolt handle all
the way back until it locks into place. Always keep marker in the
cocked position when air supply is attached to marker. This will
help prevent an accidental discharge.
• To install the air supply cylinder, lubricate the cylinder valve o-ring with a
little gun oil then insert the cylinder valve end into the air supply adapter
at the back end of the marker grip. Twist the cylinder clockwise
the marker until it stops. Adjust the butt plate if necessary. Your marker
is ready to fire once you switch to Fire Mode from Safe Mode. If the tank
is full and you do not hear the air supply engage, the pin valve could be
too short or the pin valve seal is damaged.
