The troubleshooting section is outlined as follows:
Problem
Cause
- Corrective Action
Low
velocity
Improper Adjustment
- Adjust velocity
Gun
won't fire after left in sun or hot place with bottle attached
Bottle pressure exceeds
1100 psi and won't allow exhaust valve to open
- Remove bottle from gun
to allow excess CO2 to escape
Velocity
varies widely from shot to shot
Cocking rod is bent or
dragging
- Replace cocking rod
Exhaust valve cupped or
spring weak
- Replace exhaust valve or
spring
Shooting liquid
- Alter mounting of bottle.
Do not use siphon tube
When
gun is cocked it takes very little trigger-pull to fire the gun
Sear spring is too high
- Remove one of the grips
and adjust by stretching the spring
Chops
Paintballs
Cocking block or rod out
of adjustment
- Adjust rod or cocking block
Gun
won't cock
Pressure too low
- Fill bottle or adjust regulator
Hammer cocking lug out
of adjustment
- Set the cocking lug to
.048 to .053 below the gun body
Gun
won't fire when trigger is pulled
Low on CO2
- Fill Bottle
CO2 pressure too high
- Remove and then reinstall
bottle
Hammer cocking lug loose
- Tighten of adjust lug
Three way valve improperly
adjusted
- Adjust three way valve
Damaged ram
- Factory only! Do not attempt
to repair!
Hose
blows off
Regulator pressure too
high
- Adjust regulator pressure
Air
receiver on the gun is loose or leaking
Retaining screw loose
or damaged
- Factory only! Do not attempt
to repair!
Barrel
hard to install or remove
Semi-block missaligned
- Align semi-block at front
of gun
Threads damaged
- Factory only
Trigger
screws stripped
Over tightening
- Factory only
Gun
shoots too low in winter
When ambient temperature
drops below 30 degrees F, bottle pressure also drops to below 500 psi and
velocity drops accordingly
- Live with it. DO NOT HEAT
THE BOTTLE. This may cause serious injury to yourself or others
Leaking
CO2 between valve and air receiver
Bad valve o-ring
- Replace valve o-ring. This
is the external o-ring at the top of the valve
Gun
won't fire properly after removing and replacing bolt
Bolt installed upside
down
- Remove bolt. Reinstall
after rotating 180 degrees
Three-way
valve leaks out of the front or back
Three-way valve not adjusted
properly
- Adjust three-way valve
If leaking from the back
(trigger) side of the valve, the ram is blown out
- Factory only
If leaking from the front
side, the o-ring in the valve may be bad
- Factory only
Leaks
CO2 between bottle and valve
Loose valve
- DO NOT CONTINUE LOOSENING
THE BOTTLE! Fire the gun and push on the cocking rod to dump all the CO2
out of the bottle before removing it from the gun. Send bottle and valve
to factory for repair. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE VALVE. DO NOT REPAIR
OR USE THE BOTTLE
