EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET STARTED ATTACHING A PAINTBALL LOADER Prepare the following items in order to begin using your FX: • One 9V battery. Be sure that the battery is fresh and from a reputable manufacturer. • Paintball loading device. (Recommended minimum load rate of 25 BPS) • .68 caliber paintballs. Always use fresh, high-quality paint with proper bore size for best results. • Approved air tank utilizing COMPRESSED AIR or NITROGEN ONLY.
CONNECTING MACRO-LINE TO HIGH PRESSURE REGULATOR AND QUICK RELEASE FLIP LEVER ASA (RAPSTM) A • Pull back the collet section of the macro-line elbow located on your RAPSTM ASA. (SEE PIC A) • Keeping the collet back, insert macro-line hose firmly into the fitting and release the collet. Be sure that the hose is seated all the way into the end of elbow fitting. (SEE PIC B . C) • Repeat the same process on the macro-line elbow located on your OPR to connect the RAPSTM ASA.
SWITCHING YOUR FX ON/OFF FIRING YOUR FX • Press and hold the Power Button until the FX turns on. Release the power button to continue. • While the FX is ON, tap the Power Button to scroll thru all the enabled firing modes. • To power OFF your FX, press and hold the Power Button until your marker shuts off. • Select desired firing mode. • Depress the trigger to fire the FX. • The entire firing operation can be programmed electronically for optimal results.
VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT • Locate the (1/8”) allen key wrench included with your FX. • • Adjust screw located at the bottom of Operating Pressure Regulator (OPR) to increase or decrease velocity. (SEE PIC A) Note the three adjustment screws (marked A, B, and C) in the vicinity of the SWITCHBLADETM Trigger. • • Turn screw counterclockwise towards the (+) sign to increase velocity. (SEE PIC B) Screw A (5/64”) adjusts the amount of trigger travel prior to the marker firing.
TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT (CONTINUED) • • Screw C (3/32”) adjusts the strength of the trigger’s return to rest by either reducing or increasing the magnetic pull. Turning this screw counterclockwise will decrease the strength. Turning this screw clockwise will increase the strength. Do not turn the screw too far - doing so may weaken the magnetic pull and prevent the trigger from being able to fully return to rest. (SEE PIC C) FX’s SWITCHBLADE™ Trigger.

CLEANING THE EYE-SENSOR BREAK BEAM SYSTEM CLEANING THE EYE-SENSOR BREAK BEAM SYSTEM (CONTINUED) The function of the break beam sensor eyes is to allow the firing circuit to ‘time’ the activation of the solenoid. This prevents ‘chopping’ of paint, which is caused by the bolt cycling within the breech without the paintball being actually seated in the proper firing position. When the eye sensors are ON, the gun will not fire if the beam does not sense a paintball.
CLEANING THE BALL DETENTS The ball detents should be inspected during the cleaning of the eye sensors. Replace these parts should you notice any damage, no matter how slight.
