PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Screw the included barrel into the Vibe. Slide
the included barrel blocker over the barrel
and secure its cord as far back on the Vibe
body as possible, cinching it tight. The barrel
blocker is a critical piece of paintball safety
equipment – nearly as important as paintball
goggles. The barrel blocker must be fully
seated on the marker’s muzzle and secured
in place with its strap any time the marker is
stored or handled in an area where people or
property are not properly protected by paint-
ball goggles or paintball eld netting.
While an un-powered
hopper will work, powered
loaders will provide better
performance, and minimize
paint breakage. Snap the
Vibe’s clamping feedneck
over the body’s feed port,
narrow end facing the marker.
Insert the loader’s feedneck
into the larger end. Align the
loader, and tighten both the
top and bottom sides of the
clamping feedneck with a
7/64-inch allen wrench.
POWER BUTTON
Turn the marker on by pressing
the power button, and holding
it in for a full second. When the
Vibe turns on, the power button
will glow red. The Vibe is turned
off by pressing and holding the
power button for two seconds. To
conserve battery power, the Vibe
will turn itself off if it is not red
for more than 30 minutes.
Although the power button serves as the Vibe’s safety switch to
prevent accidental ring, it should never be relied upon in place of a
barrel blocker and proper paintball eye protection.
The Vibe is compatible with both CO2 and high pressure compressed air (HPA.)
Screw-in style HPA systems and CO
2 tanks are screwed into the Air System
Adapter (ASA) on the bottom of the Vibe grip frame. For best performance with
CO
2, use an anti-siphon tank, or a regular tank with a remote hose. Screw the
tank in slowly so that its valve opens slowly, creating a gentle rise in pressure,
rather than a rapid pop. Note – CO
2 and HPA tanks are sold empty, and must
be lled before use. When using CO
2, you may notice occasional bursts of gas
released from the bottom of the regulator. This is the normal function of the relief
valve protecting your marker from liquid CO
2.
Never use oil or any petroleum based cleaner or lubricant in an HPA sys-
tem. Use only manufacturer recommended lubricants, and strictly follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Fill the hopper with paintballs and turn it on. While wearing ASTM compliant paintball goggles, in an area where all bystanders are
protected, remove the barrel blocker and re over a chronograph to measure the velocity. Using a 5/32-inch allen wrench on the
adjuster in the bottom of the vertical regulator, turn clockwise to increase velocity/pressure, and counter-clockwise to decrease.
Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas pressure inside the Vibe to stabilize. Adjust until the marker is ring
consistently within the limits for the eld where you are playing (for safety reasons, never adjust the Vibe to re at greater than 300
feet per second.)
The length of the Vibe’s trigger pull is adjustable.
A 0.050-inch allen wrench can be used to adjust
the trigger’s post travel limit – how far back the
trigger can continue to move past the ring point
– with the adjustment screw located on the lower
portion of the trigger. A 1/8-inch allen wrench can
be used on the pre-travel adjuster screw, located
where the trigger guard meets the grip frame, to
adjust how far forward the trigger can move once
it is released.
