Setup Guide
1. Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all included items are present:
- DYE MXR Paintball Marker
- DYE UL-I Barrel Kit (.680, .684, and .688 inserts)
- Dye Flex Multi-Tool
- DYE Slick Lube
- Colored O-ring repair kit

Inspect all parts for any signs of damage. If any components are missing or damaged, contact DYE customer support immediately.
2. Battery Installation
The DYE MXR is powered by 2 AA batteries. Locate the battery compartment, typically in the grip. Open the compartment, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators, and securely close the compartment.
3. Barrel Assembly
Select the appropriate barrel insert from the DYE UL-I Barrel Kit based on your paintball size. Screw the barrel assembly onto the marker's body until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
4. Air System Adapter (ASA)
Ensure the SLAP2 ASA (Slide Lock AirPort) is in the "off" or disengaged position before attaching your compressed air tank. Screw the air tank into the ASA until it is snug. Once the tank is securely attached, engage the ASA to pressurize the marker.
Operating Instructions
1. Loading Paintballs
Attach a paintball hopper to the marker's feedneck. Ensure the hopper is securely seated. Fill the hopper with .68 caliber paintballs.
2. Powering On
Refer to the 3v-MOSair Operating System instructions for specific power-on procedures. Typically, this involves pressing and holding a power button until the indicator light illuminates.
3. Firing the Marker
With the air system engaged and paintballs loaded, the marker is ready to fire. Always ensure you are in a safe firing zone and wearing appropriate eye protection. Pull the trigger to fire. The Mag X-Reach trigger system allows for adjustment to suit your preference.
4. Safety Precautions
- Always wear approved paintball eye and face protection when operating or near an operating paintball marker.
- Treat every paintball marker as if it were loaded.
- Keep the barrel plug in place when not actively firing.
- Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
- Ensure the safety mechanism is engaged when the marker is not in use.
- Only use compressed air as the power source.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your DYE MXR Paintball Marker.
1. Cleaning the Barrel
After each use, especially if paint breaks occur, clean the barrel thoroughly using a barrel swab. Ensure no paint residue remains inside the barrel or on the inserts.
2. Bolt System Maintenance
The MXR features a quick-release bolt system for easy access. Disengage the bolt system as per the marker's design. Clean the bolt and its components. Apply a thin layer of DYE Slick Lube to all moving parts and O-rings as recommended in the detailed bolt maintenance guide (refer to the full manual for diagrams).
3. O-Ring Inspection and Replacement
Periodically inspect all O-rings for wear, tears, or flattening. The MXR uses color-coded O-rings for easy identification. Use the included Colored O-ring repair kit and Dye Flex Multi-Tool to replace any damaged O-rings. Proper O-ring maintenance prevents air leaks and ensures consistent performance.
4. Grip Removal and Cleaning
The quick-release grips allow for easy removal to access internal components for cleaning or maintenance. Remove the grips, clean any debris from the frame and grip interior, and reattach securely.
