WARNING

Always keep the barrel blocking device installed except when

your marker is in use. Always make sure that the trigger safety

is in the safe mode (see instructions on page 6) and the barrel

blocking device is properly installed on your marker according

to the instructions to prevent damage to property, serious injury,

or death.

Barrel Blocking Device Installation Instructions

1. Place the Barrel Blocking Device onto the Barrel,

loop the cord over the top of the receiver, and

position at the back of the grip as shown.

2. Adjust the cord length retainer up to the back of the

grip by pulling the cord through it until the retainer is

snug against the back of the grip. Keeping the cord

as tight as possible, leave just enough cord elasticity

to pull the cord/retainer up over the top of the marker

to remove the Barrel Blocking Device for ring.

3. After the cord length is properly adjusted, lock the

cord length by tying a knot in the cord against the

back of the retainer as shown.

4. Before and after playing, inspect the Barrel Blocking Device.

Replace the Barrel Blocking Device if the device or cord is

damaged, or there is a loss of cord elasticity.

5. Clean the Barrel Blocking Device with plain, warm water and store out of sunlight in a

dry area when not in use.

CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a Tippmann

®

98 Custom Platinum Series paintball

marker. We believe our 98 Custom Platinum Series markers to be the most accurate and

durable paintball markers available. Your marker will provide many years of dependable service

if cared for properly. The 98 Custom Platinum Series markers feature our exclusive Anti-Chop

Technology, a design to help eliminate ball chopping and ensure consistent performance. Using

technology that has the front and rear bolts working independently of each other, ACT virtually

eliminates ball chopping and improves ball accuracy with less barrel cleaning. Unlike other Anti-

Chop systems, our ACT system maintains consistent ball velocity shot after shot, and does not

have to be re-cocked after engaging the Anti-Chop Technology. Tippmann 98 Custom Platinum

Series markers are available with ACT and without ACT. This manual covers both versions.

The 98 Custom Platinum Series markers also feature Tippmann’s exclusive split receiver

technology which separates the left receiver half into two parts for improved ease of service

and installation of accessories.

Please take time to read this manual thoroughly and become familiar with your Tippmann 98

Custom Platinum Series marker’s parts, operation, and safety precautions before you attempt

to load or re this marker. If you have a missing or broken part, or need assistance, please

contact Tippmann Consumer Relations at 1-800-533-4831 for fast, friendly service.

Safety Is Your Responsibility!

WARNING

EXCEPT WHEN YOUR MARKER IS IN USE,

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE TRIGGER

SAFETY IS IN SAFE MODE, AND THAT THE

BARREL BLOCKING DEVICE IS PROPERLY

INSTALLED (SEE PAGE 4).

TO TURN ON SAFE MODE: PUSH THE

SAFETY BUTTON IN AS SHOWN IN

FIGURE 1.

Figure 1: Push Button in for

Safe Mode

TO GO TO FIRE MODE: PUSH THE SAME BUTTON FROM THE OPPOSITE

SIDE OF THE RECEIVER.

The ownership of this marker places upon you the total responsibility of its safe and lawful

use. You must observe the same safety precautions as you would any rearm to assure

the safety of not only yourself but everyone around you. Outlined here are some general

precautions of which to be aware. The user should at all times use caution and common

sense when using this marker and always remember that the game of paintball can only

survive and grow if it remains SAFE!

• Do not load or re this marker until you have completely read this manual and are

familiar with its safety features, mechanical operation and handling characteristics.

• Handle this and any marker as if it were loaded at all times.

• Keep your nger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

• Do not look down the barrel of a paintball marker. Accidental discharge into the eyes

may cause permanent injury or death.

• Keep the Trigger Safety in Safe mode until ready to shoot (see Warning message

above).

• Keep a barrel blocking device installed on marker when not shooting (see page 4).

• Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.

7

E

N

G

L

I

S

H

• Never re your marker at anything you do not intend to shoot because there may be

paintballs or foreign debris lodged in the chamber, barrel, or the marker’s valve.

• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.

• Never re your marker at personal property of others. The paintball impact can

cause damage and the paint can stain the nish of automobiles, houses, etc.

• Always keep the barrel pointed down or in a safe direction, even if you stumble or

fall.

• Eye, face, and ear protection designed specically to stop paintballs in the form of

goggles and full face mask meeting ASTM Specication F 1776 must be worn by the

user and any person within range.

• Never shoot at a person who is not protected by eye, face, and ear protection

designed for paintball.

• Pressurize and load a marker only when the marker will be immediately used.

• Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secure place.

NOTE: Before storing or disassembling, be sure to remove paintballs and air supply

(see Unloading Your Marker on page 11 and Air Supply Cylinder Removal on

page 10), put the Trigger Safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel

blocking device (see page 4).

• Do not eld strip or otherwise disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with air

supply.

• Dress appropriately when playing the game of paintball. Avoid exposing any skin

when playing the game of paintball. Even a light layer of clothing will help absorb

some of the impact and protect you from the paintballs.

• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing the air

supply cylinder, or if the marker or air supply is leaking. Compressed air, CO2, and

nitrogen gasses are very cold and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.

• Use only .68 caliber paintballs. Never load or re any foreign objects.

• Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during the use of this marker. Handling

markers while under the inuence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal disregard for

public safety.

• Avoid shooting an opponent at point blank, 6 feet or less.

• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on the air supply cylinder. Contact the air

supply cylinder manufacturer with any questions.

• Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball and never shoot at

velocities in excess of 300 feet per second (see instructions on page 9).

• Always keep in mind that the sport of paintball is viewed and judged by your safe

and sportsmanlike conduct.

• Do not brandish or display this product in public as it may cause confusion and may

be a crime. Police or others may mistake this product for a real rearm. Altering the

coloration or markings required by state or federal law to make the product look

more like a rearm is dangerous and may be a crime.

Air Supply Cylinder Warnings

WARNING

The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (Figure 8, #1) is intended to be

permanently attached to the air supply cylinder (2).

An air supply cylinder can y off with enough force to cause serious injury

or death if the cylinder (2) unscrews from a cylinder valve (1).

Refer to Figure 4. There have been reported incidents caused

by players unknowingly unscrewing the cylinder (2) from the

cylinder valve (1). This occurs when the player thinks the entire

valve-cylinder assembly is being unscrewed from the air supply

adaptor of the paintball marker, when in fact they are unscrewing

the cylinder from the cylinder valve.

To avoid this danger, it is recommended (if your cylinder is not

already marked) that you use paint or nail polish to place a

mark (3) on the cylinder valve, and place another mark (4) on

the cylinder, in line with the #3 mark as shown.

Whenever you turn the cylinder during removal, watch the marks

on the cylinder and the cylinder valve to be sure that they rotate

together. If at any time these marks start to separate as shown

in Figure 5, the cylinder is starting to unscrew from the cylinder

valve and you must STOP and take the entire unit to a “C5”

certied airsmith for safe removal and/or repair.

NOTE: The cylinder valve should unscrew from the paintball

marker in about 3 or 4 full turns. If you nish the 4

th

full turn and

the cylinder valve is not unscrewed from the paintball marker,

STOP! Take the entire unit to a “C5” certied airsmith for safe

removal and/or repair.

Locate a “C5” Certied Airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com.

Whether you have a new or used rellable air supply cylinder, you are at risk if any of the following

has occurred:

• The valve unit was replaced or altered after purchase.

• An anti-siphon device was installed.

• The valve unit was removed from the cylinder for any reason.

• Any modication was done to the rellable air supply cylinder.

If any of these conditions have occurred, take your air supply cylinder to a “C5” Certied

Airsmith for inspection or contact the cylinder manufacturer.

Air Supply Cylinder Safety Tips

SAFETY TIPS to ensure that your air supply cylinder is safe for play:

• Improper use, lling, storage, or disposal of air supply cylinder may result in property

damage, serious personal injury or death.

• Make sure that any maintenance or modication to any air supply cylinder is done

by a qualied professional, such as a “C5” certied airsmith.

• The use of anti-siphon devices is not recommended. However, if one is already

installed on your air supply cylinder or is desired, it is critical that your cylinder be

checked by, or the device installed by, a qualied professional.

• All air supply cylinders must be lled only by properly trained personnel.

• Cylinder valves must be installed only by properly trained personnel.

• Do not overll a cylinder! Never exceed the air supply cylinder’s capacity.

• Do not expose pressurized air supply cylinder to temperatures exceeding 130

degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius).

• Do not use caustic cleaners or strippers on the air supply cylinder or cylinder valve

and do not expose to corrosive materials.

• Do not modify the air supply cylinder in any way. Never try to disassemble the

cylinder valve from the air supply cylinder.

• Any air supply cylinder that has been exposed to re or heated to a temperature

of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) or more must be destroyed by

properly trained personnel.

• Use appropriate gas for your cylinder. Only use CO2 in a CO2 cylinder and only use

compressed air in a compressed air cylinder.

• Keep all cylinders out of the reach of children.

• The Air supply cylinder should be inspected and hydrostatically retested at least

every 5 years by a DOT licensed agency.

• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air supply,

or if the marker or air supply is leaking. Compressed air and CO2 gasses are very

cold, and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.

NOTE: Locate a “C5” certied airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com.

Air Supply Cylinder Removal

1. Read Air Supply Cylinder Warnings (page 9) and Air Supply Cylinder Safety Tips

(above) before beginning the cylinder removal process.

2. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person

within range.

3. Follow the Unloading Your Marker instructions on page 9.

4. Watch the marks on the cylinder and cylinder valve (as shown in Figure 8 on page 9) as

you turn the cylinder approximately ¾ turn counterclockwise. This allows the air supply

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

5. Remove the Barrel Blocking Device. Set the Trigger Safety to Fire mode. Point the

marker in a safe direction, and discharge the remaining gas in the marker by repeatedly

pulling the trigger until the marker stops ring (this may take 4-5 shots). If your marker

continues to re, the cylinder’s pin valve has not closed yet (the cylinder pin valve could

be longer than usual. Because of the variances in cylinder pin valve parts, each cylinder

varies slightly on exactly how far it has to be turned). Turn the cylinder counterclockwise

a little further and repeat this step until the marker does not re. Only then remove the

air supply cylinder.

NOTE: If during this step, you turned the air supply cylinder and it began to leak before

you pulled the trigger, the cylinder O-Ring should be checked for damage before any

re-assembly (see Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks below).

6. After the air supply cylinder is removed, again point and re the marker in a safe

direction to verify the marker is completely discharged of gas.

7. Move the Trigger Safety to the Safe mode (see page 6) and install the Barrel Blocking

Device (see page 4).

Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks

The most common leak occurs from a bad air supply valve O-Ring. To replace a valve O-Ring

you must rst remove the bad O-Ring and then install a new one. This O-Ring is located

on the tip of your air supply valve. The best valve O-Rings are made of urethane. Urethane

O-Rings are not affected by high air supply pressures. These may be purchased from

Tippmann

®

or your local paintball dealer.

NOTE: If a new air supply valve O-Ring does not resolve an air supply leak, do not attempt

to repair the air supply cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports, LLC, your local paintball dealer, or

a “C5” Certied Airsmith.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• To reduce the chance of an accidental discharge, follow Unloading Your Marker

(on page 11) and Air Supply Cylinder Removal (on page 10).

• Eye protection (such as safety glasses) must be worn.

• Read and follow air supply cylinder warnings and safety tips on pages 9-11.

• Do not disassemble a marker while it is pressurized with air.

• Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker.

• Follow warnings listed on the air supply cylinder for handling and storage.

• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air supply cylinder.

• Contact the air supply cylinder manufacturer with any questions.

• Do not use any petroleum based cleaning solvents.

• Do not use any cleaning solvents that come in aerosol cans.

NOTE: Petroleum based products and aerosol products can damage your markers’

O-Rings.

To clean your paintball marker exterior, use a damp towel to wipe off paint, oil, and debris.

To clean inside the barrel:

1. Depress the front sight and and tip out the feed elbow.

2. Insert the tab end of the squeegee into the breech end of the barrel.

3. Pull the squeegee through the barrel to remove debris and paint.

To maintain your marker in good working condition, inspect, clean, and replace any damaged

parts.

Other than to clean and oil the marker, it is unnecessary to disassemble your marker for

general maintenance.

When replacing O-Rings, remember that the best valve O-Rings are made of urethane.

Urethane O-Rings are not affected by high air supply pressures. These may be purchased

from Tippmann or your local paintball dealer. Use Certied Tippmann Marker Oil to lightly

lubricate the O-Rings and springs. Inspect and, if needed, lubricate the air supply cylinder

valve O-Ring with a few drops of oil when attaching the air supply cylinder.

Before storing your marker make sure that the marker is cleaned and oiled (see Cleaning and

Maintenance aboove). Store your marker with the bolt in the forward, uncocked position. Store

your marker in a dry area.

When removing your marker from storage, make sure the Trigger Safety is in Safe mode (see

page 6) and the Barrel Blocking Device is installed (see page 4). If needed, you should re-oil

Set up a workbench with plenty of workspace to make sure no small parts become lost.

Follow these safety instructions at all times when disassembling or re-assembling your

marker.

• First follow Unloading Your Marker on page 11 and Air Supply Cylinder Removal

instructions on page 10.

• Always wear eye protection like safety glasses when performing any marker

disassembly or re-assembly.

• Do not pressurize a partially assembled paintball marker.

• Put the marker into the uncocked position. If your marker is cocked, while holding

onto the Bolt Handle, pull the Trigger, and slowly release the Bolt Handle forward to

uncock the marker.

Disassembly and Assembly

Refer to the Parts Diagrams on pages 18-28 for these instructions. The numbers listed here

are the item numbers from the Parts List.

To make maintenance and installation of accessories easier, the left receiver is split into two

parts, the Left Front Receiver side (23) and the Left Rear Receiver side (32). For most repairs

or maintenance, only the Left Rear Receiver side needs to be removed.

The Picatinny Rail (45) need not be removed to remove the Left Rear Receiver side.
