Ball detents
may be dirty
or worn.
Regulator
pressure may
be set too
high.
Clean the ball detents. If necessary, apply a small amount
of grease around the outer surface to reduce friction inside
the ball detent covers. Replace if tips are worn down.
Lower regulator pressure.
Cycles very

Bolt or bolt

grease.
Rate-of-fire

too low.
Loader may
not be
feeding fast.
Clean off old grease from the bolt and bolt guide o-rings,
as well as the bolt front seal, and apply fresh grease.
Raise Rate of Fire setting.
Check your loader’s batteries or use a faster loader.
Inconsistent

Pressure may
be set too low.
Marker may
need to be
greased.
Dwell may be
set too low or
too high.
Check valve
may be missing.
Low pressures have difficulty supplying enough volume to
maintain a constant velocity. Do not lower your TM7’s
regulator pressure below 180 psi.
Clean old grease from the poppet, the bolt and bolt guide
o-rings and apply fresh grease. Do not use too much, as it
will prevent the moving parts from cycling smoothly.
Reset the dwell setting to the factory default.
Make sure the check valve is in place.
Inconsistent

Battery may

Poppet o-ring
may be worn.
Replace battery with a fresh Duracell or Energizer brand
alkaline 9-volt.
Replace poppet o-ring and apply fresh grease.
Velocity
drops off
when firing

shots
Air tank is not
screwed all the
way into the
TM7’s regula-
tor ASA.
If during rapid firing the first ball comes out of the barrel
at full velocity and following shots decrease substantially,
watch the gauge on the TM7 regulator to see if the
needle drops down significantly and is slow to come back
to the set pressure. This is typically the result of not screw-
ing your air tank in enough. When screwing your air tank
into the TM7’s regulator ASA, it is important to not stop
as soon as the marker pressurizes, but to continue turning
until the air tank stops. It is also acceptable to install the
air tank when it is empty, then have it filled by a profes-
sional while it is installed. This will ensure that you get the
maximum air flow from your air tank.
Scratches
on bolt
Spring may be
damaged.
This can cause negative performance. The main spring should
be repaired by a trained technician or it can just be replaced.
Selector
switch not
working
Selector may
be installed
incorrectly
Check to be certain that the selector switch is installed
with keys facing down toward the trigger spring.
Leaks at
times while
shooting
multiple
shots
Poppet may be
sticking open.
Battery may
be low.
Solenoid may
be sticking
open.
Clean the old grease from the poppet o-ring and apply
fresh grease. If that doesn’t help, replace the poppet
o-ring and apply fresh grease.
Replace battery with a fresh Duracell or Energizer brand
alkaline 9-volt.
If the solenoid is sticking open occasionally, the regulator
pressure may be set too high. If the pressure is set to 200
psi or less, then the solenoid may be filled with dirt and/or
grease. See Maintenance section for instructions on how
to clean the solenoid.
