Have you serviced anything on it since you got it?
You should be re-building the HPR and lpr, checking the bolt and breach for wear/damage, cleaning the eyes (carefully!!!) and cleaning and oiling the rammer.
There should be no dirt or paint on anything. Use a soft towel or kitchen roll to gently clean bits. You should only need a bit of water to get paint off, no need for any soap or anything like that, don't run it under the tap, get the towel damp and wipe the surfaces.
You will need eclipse grease for all the o-rings (which is dow33, same as dye slick lube) as well as silicone oil for the rammer.
If you disassemble the regulators make sure you re-set them to the positions specified in the manual to avoid damaging the gun when you air it up.
Service interval is normally about 4-6 boxes of paint, but will depend on the conditions you have played in. Sand and mud will ruin the internals if not cleaned out!

Yehr the lpr will fly out if you are not careful and you can damage the wiring if it snags on the frame as you separate it from the body. Just be careful and it should be alright, don't over tighten the screws.
