Velocity
drops off
when firing
multiple
shots
Air tank is not
screwed all the
way into the
TM-15’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 TM-15 regulator to see if the nee-
dle drops down significantly and is slow to come back to
the set pressure. This is typically the result of not screwing
your air tank in enough. When screwing your air tank into
the TM-15'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 professional
while it is installed. This will ensure that you get the maxi-
mum 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 brand name 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.
