The troubleshooting section is outlined as follows:
- 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
