L STEP 1: Installing / Replacing the Battery I This marker needs a good battery to operate. If your battery is or dead install a new battery before installing the propane S low supply cylinder in STEP 2. To install the AAA battery: H • Do not pressurize a partially assembled paintball marker. • • • • • Make sure marker is unloaded (see page 12). Install barrel sleeve (see instructions on page 2). Put trigger safety in Safe Mode (see instructions on page 4). Remove the 2 screws holding the left grip in place. To remove the battery, pull up on the free end of the ribbon positioned under the battery to lift it out. • To install battery first lay ribbon across battery holder keeping loose end free. Next insert new AAA battery on top of ribbon and into the ignition module battery holder, keeping the positive (+) end towards the top of the marker. • Replace left grip and secure with 2 screws to complete battery installation. STEP 2: Propane 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). Hold cylinder upright while attaching. Insert the cylinder valve end into the regulator and twist cylinder clockwise until it stops. • Listen and smell for propane leaks, do not fire if leaking. may cease to fire during the priming procedure because the air/fuel mixture needs adjustment. To adjust the air/fuel mixture, follow the Regulator Adjustment instructions on page 14. STEP 4: Hopper Installation Barrel Sleeve must be installed (see page 2) and safety in Safe Mode (see page 4) before filling the hopper. • Make sure that the feed elbow and hopper are clean and free of any sharp edges to keep paintballs feeding into the marker properly. • Install the hopper neck into the feed elbow of your marker and tighten the hopper down with a 1/8” allen wrench. NOTE: Do not overtighten or the elbow may break. With the barrel sleeve installed and safety in Safe Mode, you are now ready to load your hopper with paintballs. Fill hopper and only remove barrel sleeve and turn off the safety when ready to shoot. STEP 5: To Fire The Marker It is important to make complete pump strokes in order for the marker to fire properly. Sliding the Forearm Grip completely back and then sliding it completely forward = 1 Pump. Pump 1 time and pull the trigger to fire 1 shot. Do not pump more than 1 time for each shot which would cause the marker to load more than 1 paintball and could break a ball in the chamber. NOTE: It is normal for the marker to become very warm when shooting. • • • • STEP 6: Velocity Adjustment STEP 3: Priming The Marker: After any tank installation, before loading the marker with paintballs, you must prime the marker. First remove the barrel Each time you play paintball, the velocity of your paintball marker should be checked with a chronograph, an instrument for measuring velocity, prior to playing paintball to verify that the marker’s velocity is set below 300 feet per second or less if required by playing field. To adjust the velocity up, insert a large flat head screwdriver through the end cap and into Velocity the large velocity screw slot and turn it inward Adjustment or clockwise. Screw To turn the velocity down, turn it out or Access counterclockwise - do not turn it out far enough End Cap that it pushes against the inside of the end cap. sleeve and turn the safety off. NOTE: Sliding the Forearm Grip completely to the back position clears the exhaust from the combustion chamber and allows a paintball to load if there are paintballs in the hopper / sliding the forearm grip completely to the forward position fills the combustion chamber with air for next shot and chambers a paintball if there are paintballs in the hopper. It is important to make complete pump strokes in order for the marker to fire properly. Pump and fire the marker in a safe direction several times until it starts shooting. Reinstall barrel sleeve and put trigger safety in Safe Mode. NOTE: Over time as the internal parts of the Regulator break-in or if the unit has been disassembled for service, the marker 8 Priming The Marker (continued on page 9) WARNING DO NOT TURN THE VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT SCREW OUT SO FAR THAT IT PUSHES AGAINST THE END CAP. STEP 7: Rear Sight Adjustment If your paintball is hitting low, slide the rear sight back towards rear of marker. Do the opposite if paintball is hitting high. 9 E N G L I S H C3TM Parts List WARNING E N G L I S H DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS MARKER WHILE IT IS PRESSURIZED WITH PROPANE.

Then, point your marker in a safe direction and fire several times to be sure there are no balls lodged in the chamber and / or barrel. • Propane Supply Cylinder Removal: To remove a propane supply cylinder, turn the cylinder counterclockwise or out. This allows the propane supply pin valve to close so that no propane will enter the marker. After the cylinder is removed, point the marker in a safe direction then pump/fire several times to make sure there is no propane left in the marker. • Install barrel sleeve (see page 2) and put trigger safety in Safe Mode (see instructions on page 4). Marker / Propane Cylinder Storage Before storage, unload paintballs and remove propane supply (see above). Then install Barrel Sleeve (see page 2) and put your marker in Safe Mode (see page 4). You should store your marker in a dry area. Before storing your marker make sure that the marker is cleaned and oiled (see cleaning and maintenance below) to ensure optimum performance and long life. Store propane cylinder as outlined in Propane Cylinder Handling and Storage section on page 7. When removing your marker out of storage, make sure Barrel Sleeve is installed (see page 2) and safety is in Safe Mode (see page 4). Marker Cleaning and Maintenance To reduce the chance of accidental discharge: First follow unloading and propane supply removal instructions (above) and never disassemble a marker that is under pressure. • Do not pressurize a partially assembled paintball marker. • Do not disassemble a marker until it has cooled to room temperature as internal parts may be extremely hot. • Follow warnings listed on the propane supply cylinder for handling and storage. • Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on propane supply cylinder and review the Propane Cylinder Handling and Storage instructions on page 7. • To clean the exterior of your paintball marker use a damp towel with water to wipe off paint, oil, and debris. We recommend using Tippmann marker oil or other premium Cleaning and Maintenance 12 (continued on page 13) TM gun oil to maintain your marker in good working condition. Re-oil when necessary. • Barrel Cleaning: It is important to clean the barrel whenever you break a paintball. Residue in barrel can burn causing smoke, more ball breakage and poor performance. It is not necessary to remove the barrel from marker to clean it. To clean the barrel: use the special cleaning squeegee that came with your C3 marker. Move forearm grip to the rear position. Press squeegee button to tilt squeegee flat, then while holding in flat position, insert squeegee completely into barrel and release button. Pull squeegee out of barrel to remove debris. Next insert opposite end of cleaning squeegee to swab the barrel. Repeat as necessary. • Spark Plug Cleaning: If the spark plug becomes dirty or oily it may cause the marker to misfire and may cause the electronics to short out. To clean the Spark Plug: 1) Follow the Unloading The Marker instructions on page 12. 2) Follow the Propane Supply Cylinder Removal instructions on page 12. 3) Follow the Disassembling the Marker instructions beginning on page 14. 4) After you remove the Spark Plug, use a cloth to wipe it clean. Any time the receiver is disassembled clean the Spark Plug. • Rear Valve / Piston Cleaning: It is important to periodically clean the Rear Valve and Piston to maintain marker performance. This cleaning can be performed without extensive disassembly of the marker. 1) Complete the Unloading The Marker instructions on page 12. 2) Complete the Propane Supply Cylinder Removal instructions on page 12. 3) With steps 1 and 2 completed proceed as follows: a) Carefully pull the End Cap from the end of the receiver. b) Remove the Velocity Adjustment Screw by turning it counterclockwise with a large flat head screwdriver, then remove the spring and buffer o-ring. c) Pull the piston out the back of the marker. d) Clean the piston with WD-40 and wipe clean. Inspect the two piston o-rings for wear and replace if necessary. e) Clean the Rear Valve internal surfaces with WD-40 and wipe clean. f) Lubricate the Piston o-rings with TippmannTM Marker oil or other premium marker oil and insert the Piston into the Rear Valve (closed end of piston goes in first). g) Insert the spring and buffer o-ring.

N h)CAUSE Carefully screw the Velocity Screw into the Rear Valve G until at least flush with the end of the Rear Valve body and L then replace the End Cap. Cleaning is complete. You will need to adjust velocity as outlined on page 9. I S Regulator Adjustment: Make sure there are no paintballs in your marker and hopper when you adjust the regulator. H • The regulator controls the air/fuel mixture and the marker will not fire if the mixture is too rich or too lean. It is set at the factory for best performance. This setting may need to be adjusted over time as the internal parts break-in or if the unit has been disassembled for service. • The regulator adjustment knob is located at the front of the regulator body and is adjusted as follows: 1) Turn the adjustment knob clockwise all the way with a 3/16” allen wrench to completely shut off the flow of gas. 2) Turn the adjustment knob 1/2 turn counterclockwise; pump the marker several times and attempt to fire in a safe direction. Repeat this process until the marker fires for the first time then go 1/2 turn further. This setting should offer the best performance (The range between too rich and too lean is approximately one full turn - the ideal setting is half way between). DISASSEMBLING YOUR MARKER: Refer to schematic parts listing pages for additional part identification as necessary. 1) Unload The Marker (see instructions page 12). 2) Remove Propane Supply Cylinder (see instructions page 12). 3) Barrel Removal: NOTE: When reinstalling the barrel you will want to align it correctly with the feed elbow so the paintballs will load properly from the feed elbow into the barrel. Before removing the barrel and after completing Step 1) and 2) above, you can check what a proper alignment feels like by pumping the forearm grip back and then inserting your finger into the feed elbow to feel where the barrel hole and feeder hole fit together - when correctly aligned, this will be a smooth transition. During installation this is how it should feel. • Loosen receiver bolt , remove push pin , and then slide front sight/under barrel tube as one piece out of the receiver.

Follow Marker disassembly instructions beginning on page 14, to disassemble and inspect internal wires and connections. 1. Why should I buy the new C3TM Marker? Convenience! With over 50,000 shots per 16 ounce tank and the accessibility of propane cylinders at many retail locations, paintball players can spend more time playing paintball and less time trying to fill or find a place to fill their C02 or Nitrogen tank. 2. How does the performance compare to C02 or Nitrogen / Compressed Air? Propane has the same velocity range of C02, Nitrogen or Compressed Air but it is not affected by temperature changes and it maintains a consistent velocity for every shot. 3. Can I adjust the ball velocity with a C3TM Marker? Yes. The C3TM Marker has a velocity range similar to any standard marker. The velocity can be adjusted from approximately 240 to 310 FPS at the back of the C3TM Marker using a large flat head screwdriver. 4. Is there really much of a savings using Propane vs. C02 or Nitrogen? Yes. It costs under $8 for a disposable 16.4-ounce propane tank, versus $30 to $35 for a 20-ounce CO2 tank. Plus you have to fill your CO2 tank after every 1,000 shots! To fill your CO2 tank for 50,000 shots you would have to spend an additional $250! 5. Is propane safe to use? Yes, like any fuel source when handled according to the appropriate safety instructions. Propane is actually a low pressure gas that uses only a small amount of fuel in an internal combustion chamber. The propane is never actually released into the air by the marker and is very safe to use. 6. I noticed that as I was tightening the Propane to the marker, I detected the smell of Propane. Is this normal? Yes. As the tank is being threaded into the regulator, a small amount of gas may escape. The Propane smell will go away after a few seconds. 7. Where else is propane used? Propane is used safely in dozens of consumer products like nail guns, power tools, household appliances, outdoor lighting, camping equipment and cars. When used in these types of items or in an internal combustion chamber like the C3TM, propane is a convenient and effective fuel. 8. What happens if there is a leak in a connection on the marker? Simply unhook the propane cylinder from the marker.

Assuming there is no issue with the propane tank, the leak is handled the same way as a standard C02 leak. 9. When using the marker I noticed the marker felt warm. Is this normal? It is normal for the marker to become very warm when shooting. 10. I see TippmannTM has its own propane fuel; can I use any standard propane cylinder? To make it easier for the paintball dealer and consumer, we have our own TippmannTM branded propane cylinders that we recommend for use with the C3TM Marker. However, any standard disposable propane cylinder will fit on the C3TM. 11. Why did TippmannTM launch this as a pump action marker? This is a very new technology and the pump-action system worked much better with this type of fuel system. With a pumpaction system, this marker will open the game to new players who want a quality marker and who do not want to shoot too much paint at one time or to the serious scenario players who want to use the C3TM as a stock marker to fine tune their strategies in scenario style play. 12. What are the plans for a semi automatic? We are planning many variations and upgrades to the C3TM Marker but no final time schedule has been developed. 13. What accessories can I add to this marker? At this time there are no accessories to add to this marker. Simply add the propane fuel source and a standard ball hopper and you are ready to go. 14. What happens if I pump the marker more than once, will I get more power? No. Extra pumps do not add any extra power but will add a second ball in the barrel chamber. You want to only pump one time to avoid getting two or more balls lodged in the barrel. 15. Is there any warranty and who does the repairs? The C3 TM is covered by the standard 1-year TippmannTM warranty. Many of our Tech Centers will be trained to handle the repairs of the C3TM or any other TippmannTM marker. 16. Do any fields offer pump-action only areas or tournaments? More fields are developing a pump-action or stock area at their facilities. Many players are now developing groups to play stock games to work on their scenario strategies or focus on improving their aim and accuracy. 22 WARRANTY AND REPAIR POLICY Tippmann Sports, LLC warrants that this product is found free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year from the original date of purchase by the initial owner/ purchaser.
