Note: Always use quality, name brand batteries. Using other types of
batteries will affect the Rip Clip’s performance.
Activating the Rip Clip™
Locate the power button on the rear control panel. To turn on, press the button. The
green LED comes on while the button is pressed; now release button. The green
LED will now flash again for one second, go off, then flash quickly 1, 2, or 3 times
indicating the speed it is currently set to. The motor will spin for a second and the
loader is now ready to use. DO NOT fire your marker until after the initial motor
spin has completed. Firing during this period can disrupt the auto-adjusting sound
sensitivity and cause the hopper not to work properly. The green LED will flash
repeatedly while the unit is on to show it is ready. If the LED flashing changes to red,
then the batteries are low and need to be replaced.
To turn off, press and hold until the loader gives a red indication. Release the button
and loader will power down to the OFF state.
Setting the Speed
1. When the Rip Clip™ is first turned on, while the LED flashes for one long second,
press and hold the power button again during this flash.
2. When done properly, the LED will now change to red and you can release the
button.
3. The LED will only stay red for about 5 seconds, and then change back to its
flashing green sequence for regular operation if no buttons are pressed.
4. To set the speed during the red LED phase, push and release the button the
number of times necessary based on what speed you desire.
5. Press once for normal slow speed, twice for faster normal speed, and three
times for fastest speed. Each time you press and release the button during this
sequence, the press of the button should last about one second.
6. If done too quickly, the board may not be set to the speed you desire. When done
correctly, the red LED will go off, then flash the same number of times the button
was pressed, indicating which speed it is now set to.
7. The motor will now spin up at the speed it is set to, it will stop, and now the speed
is set and the unit is ready to use.
Preloading the Rip Clip’s Drive Cone Spring
If you take out the Rip Clip’s drive carrier for cleaning, it will be necessary to preload
the drive carrier spring for the Rip Clip™ to function correctly. Rotate the drive carrier
clockwise until the upper and lower spring tabs hit each other. You should now have
both spring tabs pressed together. Lift the drive carrier slightly and rotate it clockwise
up and over the spring housing tab (taking the upper spring tab) with it. Snap the
drive carrier down with the drive spring tab on the right side of the drive housings
tab and install the top screw. The drive carrier spring is now pre-loaded and will snap
back properly when wound up.

Setting the Apex™ Barrel Ramp

position (toward the back of barrel).
2. Follow all safety and paintball
loading instruction for safe use.

other approved area.

until you see the balls start to
change their trajectory. The further
