below is a brief overview of what happens
when you fire your Geo. the location of parts
discussed in the text below can be found on
page 78-79.
Assuming the Geo is gassed up and turned on
shows the marker in its idle position.
FigUrE 1.1
the firing chamber is full of compressed air
whilst the bolt is held back by the air in the
can. both the firing chamber and the can are
supplied with air via the solenoid valve.
providing a ball is in the breach and the trigger
is pulled, a signal is sent to the solenoid which
stops the supply of air to the firing chamber
and allows the air in the can to be exhausted.
this removes the force holding the bolt in its
rear position and the bolt is propelled forwards
.
(FigUrE 1.2)
As the bolt passes the front prop shaft o-ring
the firing chamber seal is broken and the air
in the firing chamber vents down the bolt, in
turn propelling a ball.
(FigUrE 1.3)
the length of time the bolt remains in this
forward position venting air from the firing
chamber is dependant on dwell. when the
solenoid has completed its dwell time, air
is routed back into the can and pushes the
bolt back towards its rear position resealing
the firing chamber. As the firing chamber is
resealed it is re-filled through the solenoid
valve to the operating pressure set by the user
via the inline regulator (FigUrE 1.4).
the Geo has now completed one cycle and is
ready to fire again.
