User's Manual
The Quest is a very unique marker design. When the bolt is fully in the back or the
front position, it should never leak or otherwise transfer air through the bolt. The only
time air is transferred to the bolt assembly (to expel a ball) is while the bolt is in the
forward motion, moving from the back to the front position.
While in maintenance mode, when you pull the trigger the solenoid will stay engaged
for as long as the trigger is held, causing the bolt to move and stay locked forward until
you release the trigger. This is a great way to determine if you have an o-ring problem
on the forward stroke of the bolt. Without this capability, you would never be able to
diagnose a problem with some of the o-rings. Never hold the trigger for more than just
a few seconds, as this could possibly cause the solenoid coil to overheat and become
damaged.
The Quest Equalizer Special Feature
The Equalizer always monitors the breech, looking for a ball to enter. When a ball has
entered the breech, the LED will change from a blinking green to a ickering green.
Due to the height of the eyes in the breech, a delay period is necessary to make sure the
ball is fully in the breech before the marker is red. This delay period is known as the
BIP Delay™ and can be ne tuned to allow the highest possible rate of re. Too short
of a BIP Delay™ will result in chopping. The default setting works with any type of
hopper, including non-agitated types. This delay period can be viewed by the addition
of a blue color into the sequence. To indicate this, you will notice as a ball is dropping
the LED will briey turn blue between the blinking green and ickering green. If the
blue color is brief or non-existent, then the loader is feeding rapidly thus the speed of
the marker should be very fast. If the blue color is noticeable for an extended amount of
time, then the loader is feeding slowly, thus making the marker shoot slowly. This indi-
cator is a great way to diagnose speed problems. It can determine if the speed problem
is a slowly feeding loader or a marker problem itself. If you do see an extended blue
light, try replacing the batteries in your loader or if you are not using a force feed loader
we recommend trying one for the fastest possible ring results.
