PERFORMANCE

Operating a paintball marker below 70°F (21°C) will decrease the

number of effective shots. The same is true for operating above 70°F

(21°C). Many factors affect velocity and accuracy, including brand of

paintball, type of paintball, amount of CO2 in source, lubrication, barrel

condition and temperature.

** NOTE: TAKE A CLOSE LOOK IN THE SIGHT HOUSING IN

THE ORDER OF THE COCKING LEVER SPRING (part # 5),

THE COCKING ROD (part # 3), AND THE COCKING ROD

GUIDES (parts # 4&6) AND MAKE SURE YOU PLACE THESE

BACK IN THAT SAME ORDER.**

B— Pull them out towards the direction shown.

For re-assembly on any of the previous disassemblies shown

should be done in the exact reverse order of the instructions

provided. For added support we are providing these video clips

on our website at www.ariakon.com for you to download during

anytime of need. Again, Please pay special attention to all the

***asterisks*** noted.

IMPORTANT: Paintball approved eye and face

protection must be worn at all times when handling

this or any other marker. Always make sure that

when not actively firing the marker in a paintball

game that the marker is in ‘SAFE’ mode and the

barrel plug or barrel cover is properly inserted.

1) Ammo Box (Hopper):

Make sure that the feed port is clean to keep the paintballs

feeding properly and to help avoid breaking any paint. Also,

make sure there are no sharp edges or debris in your hopper.

Install the hopper into the feed. Now open the lid on the

hopper and fill with paintballs.

2) Air Source Installation:

First make sure the marker is in ‘SAFE’ mode. Next you need to

cock the marker by pulling the Cocking lever (part# 2) all the way

back until it clicks. To install the air source, insert the tank valve end

into the Air source adapter (part# 34). Twist the tank clockwise into

the marker until you hear and feel the tank ‘engage’, then give the

tank about 1/3 turn more so it does not become loose. Your marker

is ready to fire once you switch it from ‘SAFE’ mode to fire mode.

3) Adjusting the Velocity:

To adjust the velocity, use the velocity adjustment

screw (part # 29) on the rear of the marker directly under

the bolt. Turning the adjustor in or clockwise will increase the

velocity, and adjusting it out or counter-clockwise will lower

the velocity.

IMPORTANT: Paintball approved eye and face

protection must be worn at all times when handling

this or any other marker. Always make sure that

when not actively firing the marker in a paintball

game that the marker is in ‘SAFE’ mode and the

barrel plug or barrel cover is properly inserted.

CAUTION: WHEN REMOVING YOUR AIR SOURCE MAKE SURE THE

BRASS OR NICKEL PLATED VALVE IS SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE

CANISTER, ROTATES WITH THE CANISTER, AND DOES NOT UNSCREW

FROM THE CANISTER. THE CANISTER SHOULD UNSCREW FROM THE

PAINTBALL MARKER IN ABOUT THREE OR FOUR FULL TURNS; IF YOU

FINISH THE FOURTH FULL TURN AND THE CANISTER IS NOT UN-

SCREWED FROM THE PAINTBALL MARKER, STOP. TAKE IT TO A

PROFESSIONAL. ANY FILLING, MODIFICATIONS, OR REPAIR TO YOUR

CANISTER SHOULD BE PERFOMED BY A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL.

1) First make sure your marker is set in ‘SAFE’ mode and your

barrel cover, or plug, is properly installed.

2) To unload your marker remove the ammo box completely or

empty it so it is free of paintballs. Then point the marker in a

safe direction, remove the barrel cover, take the marker out of

’SAFE’ mode and fire several times to be sure there are no

paintballs lodged in the chamber, then immediately return the

marker to ‘SAFE’ mode and replace the barrel cover.

3) To remove a charged air source turn the cylinder

approximately ¾ of a turn counterclockwise. This allows the

tank pin valve to close so that no CO2 will enter the marker.

With the barrel plug, or cover, properly installed point the

marker in a safe direction and discharge the

remaining CO2 in the marker by pulling the trigger until the

marker stops firing. (This may take 5-6 shots). Make sure to

return your marker to safe mode when finished

discharging any remaining CO2.

NOTE: If your marker continues to fire after you have turned the tank

then the pin valve has not closed yet and you may need to unscrew the

tank a little further. If you turn the tank ¾ of a turn and it begins to leak

before you pull the trigger then you have turned it too far and you may

have damaged the tank o-ring.

Normal maintenance and cleaning will reduce the majority of any possible complications

with the performance of your marker. For best results we recommend cleaning your

marker after every use and replacing the o-rings after every other use. Use a damp towel

to wipe off paint, oil and any debris. Do Not use any cleaning solvents such as 409® or

Simple Green®. Use of such products on your marker may cause corrosion and/or

damage the internal parts, and WILL void your warranty. When oiling the cleaned parts

we recommend using any paintball brand paintball gun oil. Use of other lubricants such as

WD-40®, graphite, and oil designed for actual firearms may cause build up and/or damage

the internal parts or seals. Use of such products WILL void your warranty. In order to help

you maintain your marker, We have provided these following 11 steps.

WARNING: Before conducting any maintenance, remove the air source from your

marker (Refer to ‘Unloading Your Marker’). Make sure your marker is in ‘SAFE’ mode and

your barrel has either a cover or plug inserted.

1) Remove the stock by loosening and removing the retaining screw (part #45), then

pulling the stock straight out from the rear of the body.

2) Next unscrew the mid and rear retaining screw (part #’s 8 and 9) then remove the front

hand guard pin (part #38) by pulling outward.

3) Slide the sight rail (part #1) and hand guard (part #37) towards the front of the

barrel while carefully lifting the back end of the sight rail exposing the top portion

of the connector pin (part #27).

4) Remove the velocity adjustment screw (part #29) with a hex wrench by turning it counter

clockwise.

5) Next, remove the velocity lug (part #30) using a flathead screwdriver. Use caution when

removing, parts are under pressure from the velocity spring.

6) Then, remove the guide pin (part #31) , velocity spring (part #32) and striker cushion

(part #33)

7) Next, loosen the connector pin retaining screw (part #28), by turning it counter-clockwise

about two full turns. DO NOT REMOVE THIS SCREW.

8) Remove the connector pin (part #27), bolt (part #26), and striker (part #34). When doing

so, be sure to note which direction each piece fits into the marker for reassembly.

9) Inspect all o-rings making sure they fit snuggly and are not missing, discolored, or

damaged.

10) Clean the removed parts by wiping them with a damp towel. Then oil all moving surfaces

and all o-rings with paintball marker oil.

11) Reinstall the removed parts in the reverse order, making sure that the connector pin

(part #27) is properly positioned so it connects the bolt (part #26) and striker (part #34).

Note: When reinserting the striker you will have to press the trigger in order to allow the

striker to pass the sear ALSO NOTE: The two holes on the bolt MUST POINT

DOWNWARD.

CLEANING AND MAINTENENCE

NOTE: Basic maintenance of your ARIAKON™ marker is your

responsibility. Your marker will provide you with dependable perform-

ance for many games if properly cared for. Not properly maintaining

your marker WILL void your warranty.

NOTE: Proper storage of your ARIAKON™ paintball marker

will help cut down on the maintenance needed when

bringing the marker back out to play.

1) You should store your marker in a dry area. Make sure that the

rear bolt, striker and spring are cleaned and oiled so that they

do not rust (Refer to ‘Cleaning and Maintenance’). Store your

marker with the bolt in the rear position (cocked).

2) When removing your marker from storage you should re-oil all

moving parts and o-rings before any use.

3) Before storing, empty and remove the CO2 tank from the gun

(Refer to ‘Unloading Your Marker’).

Observe all local, state and federal laws concerning the

transportation of paintball markers. For information

concerning any of the laws in your area, contact your local

law enforcement agency.

Never carry your marker uncased when not on a playing field. The

non-playing public and law enforcement personnel cannot distinguish

between a paint marking device or firearm. For your safety and to

protect the image of the sport, always carry your marker in a suitable

case or in the box it was purchased in. DO NOT conceal your marker

under your clothing when transporting.
