Troubleshooting

Symptom
Although a fresh battery has been
fitted, your marker will not turn on
Your marker leaks from the solenoid
Your marker uses
excessive air
Your marker is
chopping paintballs
Your marker will not fire
Your marker fires high on the first
shot or is inconsistent.
Your marker fires low on the first
shot
Possible Cause
The battery has not been fitted cor-
rectly
Leaking bolt switch O-ring
Low air pressure
Leaking manifold O-rings
Dwell set too high
General leak
Beam sensor is turned off
Beam sensor is dirty or blocked
Loader is set on a force setting too
high for your paintballs
Detents are missing or incorrectly
installed
Ball settle delay too low
The trigger is set up incorrectly
The beam sensor is on, and there
are no paintballs loaded
The solenoid is not plugged in
Creeping inline regulator
Sticking drivetrain
Solution
Ensure that the battery is firmly
connected to both terminals. Ensure
that the positive (+) terminal is
connected to the positive terminal
on your battery.
Clean and re-lubricate the drivetrain
with particular attention to the bolt
switch O-ring. Replace if necessary.
Ensure that your air system is full,
and that the velocity adjustment is
not set too low.
Check that the two manifold O-rings
are in place between the solenoid
and sub plate. If they are damaged
or missing, then replace them.
Check that your Dwell setting is not
over 10ms.
Make certain that there are no leaks
from your fittings or air system
wasting your air supply.
Always play with the beam sensor
enabled.
Clean the breach, bolt and sensor.
Some force fed loaders can apply
enough force to break a fragile
paintball. If this is the case, consult
your loader manual to reduce the
force setting.
Replace or re-install your detents.
Increase the ball settle delay
Ensure that the trigger actuates the
micro switch by adjusting the
actuator screw.
Load some paintballs.
Plug the solenoid into the board.
Clean and lubricate the inline
regulator, ensure that the seat and
piston are in good condition.
Clean and re-lubricate the
drivetrain. If you continue to have
problems:
-increase the dwell by 1-2 ms.
-increase the ABS parameter on
your board.
