WARNING
H
KEEP EXPOSED SKIN AWAY FROM ESCAPING GAS WHEN INSTALLING OR
REMOVING AIR SUPPLY OR IF THE MARKER OR AIR SUPPLY IS LEAKING.
COMPRESSED AIR, CO2, AND NITROGEN GASSES ARE VERY COLD AND CAN
CAUSE FROSTBITE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
Step 2: To remove a charged air supply cylinder: ❏ Eye protection
designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person within
range. ❏ Remove the magazine and unload the marker (instructions on
page 7).
Step 3: Whenever you turn the cylinder
mark on the cylinder and the mark
that they rotate together. ❏ Turn the cylinder approximately 3/4 of a turn
counterclockwise . This allows the air supply pin valve to close so that
no air will enter the marker. ❏ Point the marker in a safe direction and
discharge the remaining gas in the marker by pulling the trigger until the
marker stops firing. If your marker continues to fire, the cylinder pin valve
has not closed yet (the cylinder pin valve could be too long, because of the
variances in cylinder pin valve parts, each cylinder varies slightly on ex-
actly how far it should be turned) and ❏ you will have to turn the cylinder
counterclockwise a little further and repeat this step until the marker
does not fire, ❏ then remove the cylinder. NOTE: If during this step, you
turned the cylinder and it began to leak before you pulled the trigger, the
cylinder O-ring should be checked for damage before reassembly (see
Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks page 25).
Step 4: After air cylinder is removed, ❏ point and 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 Removal on page 12. ❏ Put the trigger safety
in safe mode (see page 4) and 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 and lubricate it with grease. This O-ring is located on the tip of your air
supply valve. The best valve O-rings are made of urethane. Urethane O-rings
are not affected by high air supply pressures. These may be purchased from
Tippmann ® 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 Sports, LLC, your local paintball dealer or a "C5" Certified Airsmith.
