PAINTBALL BASIC SAFETY RULES
1. Leaks down barrel
Make sure marker is cocked before attaching air. Check cup seal for wear or grooves. Replace if leak continues. See page 28 for more information.
SAFETY FIRST!
2. Low velocity (to make it shoot harder)
1. Check that air source is adequately filled. 2. Adjust velocity by turning the velocity adjusting screw clockwise. 3. Remove bolt/hammer assembly and clean it. Clean inside receiver area where bolt/hammer assembly is located. Lubricate all O-rings on bolt assembly with synthetic paintball marker oil. 4. Change to a stiffer hammer spring. See page 10 for complete velocity instructions.
3. Before you change any O-ring or “seal”
Do not replace the Blue Hammer O-ring with a bottle O-ring! The marker needs a Piranha® Blue Hammer O-ring to work properly.
4. Regular Maintenance
See page 19-20.
5. What is the “sear release slide?”
The sear release slide is a mechanical slide that allows you to re-install your bolt/block/hammer assembly back into your marker without shooting the marker or taking off the grip frame. See Reassembly Procedure on page 21 for more information.
6. Marker doesn’t work out of the box?
1. Is tank filled? All tanks sent through the mail come empty. 2. Is the marker cocked? Always cock marker before airing it up 3. Is safety “off”? 4. Is marker charged? See page 17. 5. Call us at 1.800.724.6822.
