WA R N I N G THE KEE PIRANHA® PAINTBALL MARKER IS NOT A TOY. MISUSE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. EYE PROTECTION DESIGNED FOR PAINTBALL USE MUST BE WORN BY THE USER AND ANY PERSON WITHIN RANGE. READ THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE LOADING, PRESSURIZING, OR OPERATING THE KEE PIRANHA® PAINTBALL MARKER. READ THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE LOADING, PRESSURIZING, OR OPERATING THE PIRANHA® PAINTBALL MARKER. Always wear protective goggles and headgear specifically designed for paintball when shooting this or any paintball marker. Every person within range of an area where a paintball marker is in use must wear protective goggles and headgear specifically designed for paintball. Operate a paintball marker only in areas where it is safe and lawful to do so. Misuse of this paintball marker can result in criminal penalties, including jail time. This marker is intended for sale to adults 18 years of age or older only. Adult supervision is recommended at all times whenever a minor is handling this marker in any manner. During game play, follow referee’s instructions and all field safety rules. Avoid shooting at a player’s head, neck, or groin area. Play paintball only where the rules of safe paintball play are followed. All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity less than 300 feet per second (fps) and/or that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the paintball park where the marker is in use. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is refilled or changed, any time the barrel is changed, and upon request of any player or game official. There is always a chance that a paintball is lodged in the barrel of the marker even when it is not visible in the chamber. To check if the marker is unloaded: remove air system and shoot marker in a safe direction. Remove hopper, visually inspect chamber for a paintball, remove and inspect barrel for the presence of a paintball. Never look down the barrel of any paintball marker once the barrel is screwed into the marker. Markers with regulators hold pressure even after tank is removed. Shoot marker in a safe direction after tank is removed to de-gas it completely. 4 Manual_Piranha_5.5_eng.qxd 11/16/07 1:56 PM Page 6 PAINTBALL BASIC SAFETY RULES This paintball marker operates using compressed gas or air at specified pressure ranges. Follow safety procedures when handling compressed gas or air. All filling of compressed gas or air cylinders must be done by qualified persons. Always cock marker before attaching air or gas source to it. Failure to always cock marker before attaching air to it may cause accidental firing or discharge of paintballs. Follow the rules of safe marker handling: Keep finger off trigger until ready to shoot. Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction. In addition, firmly insert a barrel plug or barrel bag into the muzzle and push the electronic or mechanical safety “on” when the marker is not in use and when in any non-shooting area. operating the piranha® marker WA R N I N G Every person within range of an area where a paintball marker is in use must wear protective goggles and headgear specifically designed for paintball. 1. Attach threaded barrel firmly to marker. 2. At this time, do not attach air source or loader and do not load paintballs into marker. 3. Insert barrel plug firmly into barrel. Paintball markers with electronic frames have extremely sensitive triggers. Take extra safety precautions anytime handling or shooting an electronic paintball marker. To avoid accidentally firing the marker, keep the marker off until you are ready to fire. Never shoot at domestic animals or wildlife. 4. Pull the cocking knob straight back from the rear of the marker until the cocking mechanism locks back in the cocked position. See Figures 1. Always cock marker before airing it up. During cocking the flush cocking rod will recoil or “spring back” into the marker once released and will only move slightly during marker operation. See Figures 2 and 2a. Never mark objects outside the confines of the game or authorized shooting areas. Figure 1. Pull Back Figure 2. Pull Back 5. Push safety “off” Never look down the barrel of the marker. Never aim or shoot a paintball marker (loaded or unloaded) toward any person who is not wearing protective goggles and headgear specifically designed for paintball. 6. Squeeze the trigger with an even pressure. The cocking knob will snap forward into the uncocked position. 7. Cock the marker. Before disassembly, storage, or transport of the marker, remove all paintballs from the marker, barrel, and Figure 2a. Fully Cocked loader; remove air source; and remove all gas or air from the marker. Insert barrel plug and put mechanical safety in “no shoot” position. Carry marker in case or sturdy bag when in public. WA R N I N G Always cock marker before attaching air source. Marker can discharge if air source is attached before marker is cocked. Safely and securely store marker to prevent access to it by unauthorized persons. Safety standards information is available from the American Society for Testing and Materials, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959; phone 1.610.832.9500; www.astm.org. “Standard Practice for Paintball Field Operation” is publication F1777-97, and “Standard Specification for Eye Protective Devices for Paintball Sports” is publication F1776-97; inquire about additional publications which may be available at the time your request is made. 5 WA R N I N G The marker contains compressed gas or air when pressurized. Never disassemble marker until removing all gas or air from the system. Rules for safe handling of compressed gas or air must be followed at all times. 6 Manual_Piranha_5.5_eng.qxd 11/16/07 1:57 PM Page 8 operating the piranha® marker 8. Follow safety rules for handling compressed gas/air. If any leak occurs in the marker, refer to troubleshooting guide or to a qualified airsmith. Use only cylinders for compressed gas or air that comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to those of the U.S. Department of Transportation, OSHA, Compressed Gas Association, and/or American Society for Testing and Materials. Bottomline: First check the tank O-ring for rips or tears, then attach the air source by screwing the threads of the tank or air source adapter into the threaded bottom line ASA at the base of the grip. Make sure marker is cocked before attaching air. If leaks occur, recheck tank O-ring. If damaged, replace. WA R N I N G WHEN COCKING THE PRESSURIZED MARKER, DO NOT RELEASE THE COCKING KNOB UNTIL AFTER THE COCKING MECHANISM HAS LOCKED BACK INTO THE COCKED POSITION; RELEASING THE COCKING KNOB DURING COCKING CAN CAUSE THE MARKER TO SHOOT. 9. With goggles on, test for function after attaching air source: Squeeze the trigger. The marker should shoot air and the cocking knob should cycle forward and back, stopping in the cocked position, after each trigger squeeze, Repeat several times. Flush cocking rods will bobble some, but they will not come out all the way. The Piranha® marker shoots one paintball for each squeeze of the trigger, and recocks itself after each shot. 10.Turn the marker off (electronic version) or slide safety forward (semi-auto version). Paintballs may then be loaded. WA R N I N G Before disassembly, storage, or transport of the marker, remove air source first, then remove all paintballs from the marker, barrel, and loader. Remove all gas or air from the marker. Insert barrel plug and slide the mechanical safety forward so the safety is engaged and red dot isn’t showing. COMPRESSED GAS/AIR Do not leave cylinder or pressurized marker in direct sunlight or exposed to heat source. Increased temperature will increase the pressure of compressed gas or air to dangerous levels. Piranha usually needs 650 p.s.i. to cycle and attain correct velocity. VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT WA R N I N G All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity that is less than 300 feet-per-second (fps) and/or that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the paintball park where the marker is in use. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the marker is changed, and upon request of any player or game official. 1. Chronograph the marker using standard chronograph procedures and following safety rules. Shooting velocity will vary based upon many factors, such as paint, weather, and air system. 2. Adjust velocity by using a 3/16" allen wrench to turn the velocity adjuster. See Figure 6. Turn adjuster clockwise to raise velocity. Turn adjuster counter-clockwise to lower velocity. See Figure 7. Turning the velocity adjuster changes the amount of tension on the hammer spring. The hammer spring may be changed for additional velocity adjustment; insert stiffer spring to raise velocity and less stiff spring to lower velocity (spring tension in order of strongest to weakest: red, blue, white). See next page for more about springs. 3. Chronograph the marker after every velocity adjustment. 4. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the marker is changed, and upon request of any player or game official. The safety is a small mechanical slide on the left side of the marker above the trigger. When the safety is “off,” a red dot is visible on the marker. The trigger can still be pulled if the safety is “on,” but the marker will not fire or de-cock. The Piranha® paintball marker may be powered by CO2, regulated compressed air, or regulated nitrogen. THE SAFETY RULES FOR HANDLING COMPRESSED GAS OR AIR MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES. OPERATING PRESSURE AND INPUT PRESSURE • Operating pressure range: 500 to 1000 p.s.i. on Piranhas without regulators. • Recommended maximum input pressure is 1000 p.s.i. • Do not exceed recommended pressures. 7 Figure 6. A 3/16" allen wrench is used to adjust velocity. + – Figure 7. Clockwise increases velocity. Counterclockwise reduces velocity. VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT SPRINGS The hammer spring assembled with the Piranha® paintball marker is intended to provide appropriate shooting velocity for most outdoor paintball game situations and will provide a range of velocities suitable for most conditions. Shooting velocity will vary based upon form of regulated compressed gas or air used to power the marker, outside temperature, and other factors. DO NOT EXCEED A VELOCITY OF 300 FEET-PER-SECOND (fps). 8 Manual_Piranha_5.5_eng.qxd 11/16/07 1:57 PM Page 10 SPRING KIT INSTRUCTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. Never allow the marker to shoot at velocities exceeding 300 FPS. Always remove the gas source and all paintballs from your marker before you disassemble any part of it. Before changing any component of a paintball marker, fully understand the entire operator’s manual. When changing springs or anything else that will alter shooting velocity of the marker, have appropriate chronograph available for testing results. 5. Never shoot marker at the heads of people or animals. Never shoot at anyone not wearing goggles and head protection approved for paintball games. 6. Spring tension in order from strongest to weakest–red, blue, then white. SAFETY FIRST! Use aBarrel Plug! SEE PAGE 17 FOR DISASSEMBLY OR REASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS The Piranha® is easy to strip for cleaning and basic maintenance. Regular cleaning and maintenance is highly recommended. Keep screws tightened.

RPS paintballs recommended Air Source: Accepts standard connections for CO2, regulated N2, or regulated compressed air Operating Pressure: Recommended 650 psi to 1000 psi Input Pressure: Not to exceed 1000 psi Air Source Input: Bottomline ASA accepts standard paintball threading 1. Before disassembling the marker, first remove the air tank, and then remove all paintballs from the marker, barrel, and loader. 2. Leave barrel plug firmly inserted in barrel and keep barrel pointed in a safe direction. 3. To remove the bolt/hammer assembly, first remove the field strip pin. See Figure 8. The field strip pin is at the center rear of the receiver and is removed by pulling it out of the left side of the marker. Figure 8. Remove field strip pin to begin disassembly. 4. Grasp the block assembly and slowly begin to pull the bolt/hammer assembly out of the marker. See Fig. 9. 5. When the bolt/hammer assembly is about halfway out, grasp it with one hand and continue to hold it intact while removing it completely from the marker. See Figure 10. Oil Here Oil Here Figure 9 Figure 10 Grasp assembly. Figure 11 Bolt-hammer assembly removed. 10 Manual_Piranha_5.5_eng.qxd 11/16/07 1:57 PM Page 12 LUBRICATION It is recommended that 100% synthetic paintball marker oil be used for lubricating the marker. Do not use any oil aside from paintball marker oil or you run the risk of ruining the O-rings. 1. Before each insertion of the removable air source (tank or remote line) into the ASA, clean the threads and put two drops of oil onto them. 2. After removing the bolt/hammer assembly, clean off any paint or dirt. Put 1 drop of oil onto each O-ring. See Figure 11. Only replace the Blue Hammer O-ring (#35) with another Blue Hammer O-ring, or the marker will not re-cock properly. 3. Before screwing the barrel onto the marker, clean the barrel threads. maintenance and reassembly button is located on the left side of the marker near the top of the left grip panel. Continue to press assembly into marker. Pushing the button allows the bolt/hammer assembly to slide easily the rest of the way into the marker. The sear release slide has to be pushed up on eForce frames. See Figure 36. 3. Field strip pin must be inserted into the left side of the marker. 4. After reassembly, follow the procedures in this manual for adding air system, loader, and paintballs. Figure 12 4. The fastest way to oil the entire Piranha® is to take off the barrel; put 6 drops of oil into the ASA (#43), screw the bottle in over the oil, and shoot the marker a dozen times without the barrel. 5. There is no need to ever oil the inside of the barrel. Oil in the barrel will decrease accuracy. REGULAR MAINTENANCE FOR THE PIRANHA® 1. Clean out all broken paint regularly. Do this before you oil the marker. 2. Oil marker each time you play with synthetic marker oil. Never use 3-in-1. Non-synthetic oil can contaminate the ball detent and hammer O-ring, causing the marker not to function. Figure 13 Figure 14 Figure 15 Figure 16 Figure 17 Figure 18 Figure 19 Figure 20 Figure 21 Figure 22 Figure 23 Figure 24 3. The fastest way to oil your Piranha is to drop 6 drops in the ASA (#43) and screw the bottle in over it. Take the barrel off and shoot the marker a dozen times to cycle oil throughout the marker. 4. Inspect the bolt O-rings and Blue Hammer O-ring after each time you oil the marker. Make sure they are getting oil. 5. Clean out the vertical feed, as well as the barrel. If any oil or paint is present, the marker will not shoot accurately. 6. Never wash the bolt assembly with water unless you are going to oil them before you reassemble them. Dry before oiling. 7. Check ball detent (#20) every 25,000 shots. Replace if it is worn or broken. 8. Never stretch hammer spring to increase velocity. This will shorten the life span of the spring. REASSEMBLY PROCEDURE (sear release slide) 1. See Figures 15 through 26, which shows the procedure for reassembly of the bolt/hammer assembly. Once it is reassembled, hold the bolt/hammer assembly in one hand. See Figure 24. Push it gently into the marker until it stops sliding forward, which will be about halfway into the body of the marker. See Figure 25. 2. Before it stops sliding forward, push the Sear Release Slide button forward. See Figure 25.

Cocking Rod PMI High Performance Barrel Dual Ball Detents Safety Slide OPERATING THE PIRANHA® GTI PLUS: 1. Attach threaded barrel firmly to marker. 2. At this time, do not attach air source or loader and do not load paintballs into marker. 3. Insert barrel plug firmly into barrel. 4. Pull the cocking knob straight back from the rear of the marker until the cocking mechanism locks back in the cocked position. Always cock marker before airing it up. During cocking the flush cocking rod will recoil or “spring back” into the marker once released and will only move slightly during marker operation. 5. Slide safety “off,” 6. Squeeze the trigger with an even pressure. You should hear the hammer and bolt assembly slide forward. 7. Cock the marker. 8. Before attaching the air source, read and understand the section in the manual on “Compressed Gas/Air.” Follow safety rules for handling compressed gas/air. If any leak occurs in the marker, refer to troubleshooting guide or to a qualified airsmith. Use only cylinders for compressed gas or air that comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to those of the U.S. Department of Transportation, OSHA, Compressed Gas Association, and/or American Society for Testing and Materials. 9. With goggles on, test for function after attaching air source: Squeeze the trigger. The marker should shoot air and the cocking knob should cycle slightly after each trigger squeeze, repeat several times. Flush cocking rods will bobble some, but they will not come out all the way. 10. Slide safety forward (semi version). Paintballs may then be loaded. 27 Velocity Adjustment Screw Sear Release Bottomline Adapter Gas Thru Grip 1A. Milled Receiver Body - Matte Black 1B. Milled Receiver Body - Matte Blue 1C.
