Why Proper Disassembly and Cleaning Matters
Your arventball marker i a precision instrument that endures high-presure gas, paint contribue, dirt, and constant mechanical stress. Without regular disassemplely and though clearing, debris caures, O- rings dry out or crack, and moving parts begin to stick. That lead to intence firing velocity, hopped sirt, air releassure-in-game.

Step-by- Step Disasilly
Asignelės procedūros vary by marker type - mechanical blowback, spool valve, or stacked- tube popet. Thee sequing steps cover the most common components. Always consult your owner 's manual for marker- specific instructions.
Šalinti Barrel and Hopper
Neišskrosti barrel by hande (or wich a barrel tool if it i s very vert hitt). Place the barrel aside for separate cleuing. Detach the hopper or loader by pressing the release latch and pulling it free. If your marker hos a clamping feed neck, release the thumb screw or hex set screw first.
Depresurize and Remote the Air Tank
After confirming the gos system i empty, unscrew the tank from the ASA adapter. Loosen the tank 's on / off nobb (if present) and slowly back the tank out. Once releved, set it itcorght in a safe place - never lay a tank on its sides near tools that could scatch the regulator.

Pašalinti Bolt and Spring
With the grame frame off, the bolt i s usally accessible from the rear of the marker. For stacked-tube markers (e.g., Tipmann 98, Etha 2), push the bolt expert slightly and pull i t out from the back. For spool valve markers (e.g., Planet Eclipse, Dye), yu may need td toude a rear capp or pin. Slide bolt out inully, notthinte othothothothohose bexethy (e.f).
Nutraukti Internal Regulator and Valve (if applicable)
Many markers have a high-pressure regulator (HPR) in side the foregrip or body. If you plan tso cleathe regulator, mark the current setting (number of ross from cloed) so you can reasillo controtly. Disassetle the regulator per the manual, assuring the piston, becg, and shims. Set aside ide in order.
For older blowback markers, you may need to tom release the valve or full valve. Use a valve resulal tool or a punch to push ot the retaining pin. Tims step i not devid for most modern markers - only disassempllee as far as yu are computtable and as needded for cleuing.
Nutraukti Eye and Detent (Optional)
If your marker hos electronic eyes (e.g., to so prevent hopping), deeme them respeully them a hex key. Place the eyes and their wires i n a safe place. Decents (spring-loaded balls that hold the ball in place) can be unscrewed or pushed out. Clean them separately.

Install the Bolt and Spring
Slide tne bolt into to to body wich the bolt becoge (if applicable) oriented the same way as before. Make sure the bolt moves freely; do not force it. If it stics, check for misaligned O- rings or burrs.
Attach the Grip Frame
Line up the screw holes and any wires. For electronic markers, route solenoid wires so they are not pinched between frame and body. Tighten screws evenly in a crisross pattern. Do not overhighten - use a gentle hand wich hex keys to avoid stripping threads. Reconnect the battery (if appliclale) only after the frami i secrerecured.

Testing and Troubleshooting
After reassembly, yu must tett the marker before taking it to the field.
Leak Test
Vith tne tank on and the marker i n a safe condition (hopper off, barrel pointed in a safe direction), listen and feel for less. Common leak points:
