How to Clean the Invert Mini
The Invert Mini is a high-end pneumatic paint ball gun (sometimes known as a paintball electronic marker) known for its light weight, accuracy, and the latest in technological advances in the paintball business. The Mini is meticulously made from aircraft quality aluminum to endure the requirements of the most demanding users. The marker should be cleaned and lubricated after each use to insure it is operating at its maximum efficiency.

Tips & Warnings
Never use any kind of lubricating oil on your Invert Mini. According to the Invert Mini owner's guide, only Dow 33 grease (not axle grease) should be used on your marker.
Never perform any cleaning or maintenance on your Invert Mini until a barrel locking device (available at your dealer) is installed on the barrel, all paint balls and air cartridges have been removed, and the marker has been turned off.
Treat your marker as if it were loaded. Never point a marker at anything you do not wish to shoot.
Eye protection should be worn when using your marker.
