Protege Low Pressure Regulator:
Your Protege comes equipped with one of the best low pressure regulators on the mar-
ket. To ensure the best consistency and the highest ow possible, it is recommended
that you clean and relubricate the low according to the maintenance schedule.
LPR Maintenance:
• Degas your marker and ensure that there
are no paintballs in the breech or barrel of
the marker.
• Remove your macroline hose from the
90˚ tting on your regulator
• Unscrew your regulator from the Protege
vertical adaptor, and set the vertical
regulator down.
• Grasp the low pressure regulator to ensure
that it does not eject from the marker upon
removal of its retaining screw.
• Remove the LPR retaining screw from in
side the Protege vertical adaptor, and allow
the LPR assembly to slide out of the mark
er.
• Remove the brass LPR adjustment screw
from the LPR assembly by unscrewing it in
the counterclockwise direction.
• Remove the LPR cap from the LPR body by
unscrewing it in the counterclockwise direc
tion.
• Tap the LPR body on a hard, at surface to
allow the LPR piston, spring, and washer to
slide out of the regulator base.
• Inspect the surface of the piston and oring
for excessive wear or nicks, and replace as
necessary.
• Inspect the interior walls of the LPR body—
if necessary, use a swab on the interior of
the LPR body to clean debris and old
grease.
• Regrease the piston with Dow 55, and
gently replace the piston, spring stack, and
spring follower back into the LPR body.
• Replace and tighten the LPR cap, and rein
sert the brass LPR adjuster screw.
