        Take a few drops of AKA lube, palmer's lube, or any synthetic air tool oil (be very careful with which oil you put in, a lot will hurt more than help) and put it in the air fitting. Attach your tank, and shoot the oil through.

        Thats it. As long as there are no leaks, you are good to go. If you have any issues, post em here, and I'll try to help.

                Heres the AKA contact page :



                Very good customer service.
                Their tech can walk you thru minor stuff on the phone or they can give you Destructive Customs phone number since Jareds site is down.

                I have tried just about every high end marker there is.
                They are all gone but I still have the Viking.
                Its beat up and doesnt look like much but you cant have it

                      ok so I have another question the trigger feels nice but it is sticking back a little, it's fine most of the time but then sometimes is sticks almost like it is gummed up, also when i shoot it the led is flashing red and green and then the eyes are just shutting off and I don't know why. any help is appreciated.

                        If you have WAS 2.0 here is the manual.


                        Change the eye mode to 1(2 orange blinks) for your eye problem.

                        If you have WAS 1.6 then the only settings you have are semi auto with dwell, debounce and eye mode. The manuals are the same except 2.0 has some new settings.

                        For the trigger, clean it and maybe get a spring, a pen spring will work. If it is too stiff, cut it down to size.
