Marker is leaking from the vertical regulator\HPR—

If the leak is coming from the macroline elbow, make sure that the macroline tting has

been secured to the regulator with factory approved thread-sealant (NOT TEFLON

TAPE) and that the macroline hose has not been cut unevenly. Also, ensure that you’re

using a low-pressure HPA system, and that your regulator is outputting the correct

amount. If your regulator continues to leak after these remedies, replace the piston or-

ing and Schrader valve inside the regulator.

Air is leaking from the front of the marker frame—

Verify that the racetrack oring in the front of the frame is free of nicks, and has a light

coat of lubrication to induce swelling. Verify that the screw in the center of the vertical

ASA is snug, and that there is nothing obstructing your frame from making a tight seal

with the bottom of the body.

Air is leaking from the rear of the marker frame—

Remove the trigger frame from the marker, and inspect the hose to the solenoid. If it

appears worn or pinched, consider replacing the hose. Additionally, on the rst gen-

eration of Protégé and Vice markers, some frames had insufcient clearance and

would contort the hose in such a manner that would cause some markers to develop a

frame leak. If your marker has this issue, replace the hose and apply a small amount

of grease to the hose to allow it to compress in the frame without being deformed. If

this does not x your issue, consult expert advice or consider returning the marker to

BLAST for service.

Marker leaks down the barrel—

Ensure that your ram orings are free of nicks, and properly lubricated. Verify that your

poppet base is in good condition, with its stem oring being free of lacerations and prop-

erly lubricated. If this does not correct your issue, consult expert advice or consider

returning the marker to BLAST for service.

Marker res more than one shot per pull, or has trigger bounce—

Raise your marker’s debouce level, and make sure that your trigger activation level is

not too short. Also, verify that your trigger has the spring installed and that it is properly

functioning. Verify that your marker is in semi-automatic mode.

Marker double feeds—

Replace the marker’s ball detents.
