BOLT OPERATION
To achieve top performance from your EVIL
®
MINION
™
, it is important to understand the basic
operation of the EVIL
®
MINION’s patented FUSE
™
bolt system.
This design consists of three sleeves threaded together to capture the only moving part of the
system, the bolt.
The FUSE
™
Bolt has four
components
1 Cylinder
2 Bolt
3 Top Hat
4 Rear Cap
Air is supplied to the bolt at two
points. A high-pressure supply of air
is routed to the back of the bolt
into the supply chamber. This air
source is responsible for propelling
the ball. Low-pressure air is supplied
from the LPR to the solenoid. From the solenoid, the air is routed through two small holes to
the section of the bolt referred to as the cylinder.
When the EVIL
®
MINION
™
is aired up, air is transferred by the solenoid to the front of the
cylinder. This air pushes against the bolt sail and the bolt is held in the back position.
When the bolt is held back, the 013 O-ring in the top hat seals around the bolt and contains
the air in the supply chamber.
When the marker is fired, the micro switch is pressed, telling the solenoid to switch the flow
of air from the front of the cylinder to the rear of the cylinder. Air that enters the rear of
the cylinder will push on the bolt sail, moving the bolt forward. The air in the front of the
cylinder is vented.
As the bolt moves forward, the tapered stem passes through the top hat. Once the bolt stem
can no longer seal against the 013 O-ring, the air contained in the supply chamber is released.
The air passes through the venturi ports in the bolt and out the front of the bolt to propel the
ball. When the bolt is in the forward position, the inside bolt stem O-ring prevents the flow of
air from continuously flowing through the marker when the bolt is forward. This helps the
marker shoot much more efficiently.
NOTE: LOW OR ERRATIC VELOCITY MAY BE DUE TO A LOW
BATTERY NOT SUPPLYING AMPLE ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THE
SOLENOID. IN THIS CASE, CHANGE THE BATTERY.
When servicing your marker:
• Make sure your hopper is removed
from the EVIL
®
MINION
™
.
• Make sure there are no paintballs in the
breech of the EVIL
®
MINION
™
.
• Always remove the air supply and
relieve all gas pressure in the EVIL
®
MINION
™
before disassembly.
• When using the EVIL
®
MINION
™
in
temperatures below 50º it may be necessary
to lube the FUSE
™
bolt more frequently.
