www.invertpaintball.com 1.THE INVERT MINI Welcome to the world of the Invert MINI. The MINI is a modern culmination in the pursuit of speed, technology, weight reduction, and overall performance. It started with radical imaginative concepts, which in turn inspired years of research and development, plus countless hours of testing and engineering.
www.invertpaintball.com 2. OPERATION ***Read the entire manual before you prepare your MINI for play. *** A. OPERATION Safety and safe marker handling are the most important aspects of paintball sports. Please practice each of the following steps with an unloaded marker before attempting to charge your marker with compressed air and paintballs. Do not load compressed air and paintballs into your MINI until you feel completely confident with your ability to handle your MINI safely.
www.invertpaintball.com 3. REPLACING THE 9-VOLT The MINI requires a single 9-volt battery as the electronic power source. The use of long life batteries is recommended. The 9-volt battery is located in the front fore-grip in front of the trigger guard. The battery is accessed through the removable left side plate on the front fore-grip. Confirm that the marker is OFF. Remove the screw at the bottom that secures the left side plate in the front fore–grip.
www.invertpaintball.com 4. THE MINI EYES OPERATION The MINI uses a unique break beam eye system to determine the absence or presence of a ball for the purposes of reduced paint breakage and optimum rates of fire. The MINI board is preprogrammed to activate the eye system each time the marker is powered up. To turn the eyes off, ensure that there are no paintballs in the MINI breach or feed-neck, make sure the marker is switched off, and then while pulling and holding the trigger, turn the marker on.
www.invertpaintball.com V. COMPRESSED AIR / NITROGEN SUPPLY The MINI is designed to work with Compressed Air/Nitrogen. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH CO2. 5 Consult the place where you purchased your MINI, or a recognized and competent airsmith, for instruction in the safe handling of compressed-air cylinders before purchasing or connecting one to your MINI.
www.invertpaintball.com VI. PAINTBALL AND LOADER USAGE The MINI comes equipped to accept 1.03" (outer dimension) standardgravity feed loaders as well as most agitating and force-feed loaders. Fit the loader directly into the vertical feed tube. Always twist it down in a CLOCKWISE direction. The MINI uses .68 caliber, water-soluble paintballs, readily available at paintball pro-shops, commercial playing fields, and many sporting goods stores.
www.invertpaintball.com VII. MINI REGULATOR AND VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT ***THE MINI BOTTOM-LINE REGULATOR IS NOT AN ADJUSTABLE POSITION ASA. To adjust your shooting position check out the options available from Invert Paintball.*** The MINI utilizes a fully functional MINI Bottom-line Regulator at the bottom of the grip frame that doubles as an ASA adaptor/receiver for a standard threaded pre-set output compressed air system.
www.invertpaintball.com DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE REGULATOR CAP! OVER PRESSURIZING CAN DO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR MINI! Once this adjustment has been made, retighten the locking set screw then screw in the brass adjuster to set the pressure. The following directions are not for adjusting the Bottom-line regulator. They are only to be followed in the event the bottom-line regulator has come apart or the cap has been removed.
www.invertpaintball.com ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY 9 At the back of the MINI main body is the Bolt Guide Cap. The allen screw in the bolt guide cap serves as your velocity adjuster. Confirm that the pressure on your MINI Bottom-line Regulator is at 200 PSI. Then you can increase or decrease the velocity on your MINI by tightening or loosening the velocity adjustment screw, with a 1/4 inch Allen wrench.
www.invertpaintball.com VIX. BOARD DESCRIPTION to check the velocity each time before playing with your MINI. NOTE 3! Higher pressures DO NOT equate to better performance and higher velocities. High pressures in this marker will cause problems, showing up in erratic velocity, extreme gas consumption, leaks, and general poor performance. The Invert MINI is driven by a Optimus I™ Board. The Optimus I™ Board features several modes and functions that are listed below.
www.invertpaintball.com VIX. FUNCTIONS ,MODES The MINI must be OFF to begin managing functions.

www.invertpaintball.com XVII. MAIN BODY Assembly and Disassembly CAUTION: Before attempting to perform any maintenance operations or any marker disassembly, make sure that all paintballs and propellant sources have been removed from the marker.
www.invertpaintball.com MAIN BODY Assembly and Disassembly PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE SENSOR BOARD – IF THE CHECK VALVE IS ACCIDENTALLY REMOVED IT WILL AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MARKER! The Check Valve is a very small plastic piece located between the body and the Sensor Board. It is designed to control the bolt speed of the marker, but due to its size may be easy to misplace. If it is misplaced the MINI will fire, but the bolt speed will increase drastically and likely cause problems.
www.invertpaintball.com MAIN BODY Assembly and Disassembly The technology in the MINI Sensor board and Eyes eliminate the need for wires. The Eyes are an integrated fixed part of the circuit board. To remove the eyes you will need to remove the Sensor board, however it is recommended that the eyes should be cleaned via the breach with a clean cloth, cotton swab, or swab style squeegee.
www.invertpaintball.com MAIN BODY Assembly and Disassembly TO LINE UP THE REAR OF THE BOLT GUIDE ON THE BODY – There is a small hole on the back of the Bolt Guide that should be lined up to match the small hole on the back of the body which is at the top dead center of the body. Tighten both body screws without over tightening either screw. XVIII.STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION • Your MINI must be clear of all paint and propellant when not being used.
www.invertpaintball.com MAIN BODY Assembly and Disassembly IMPORTANT: Never carry your MINI uncased when not on a playing field. The non-playing public and law enforcement personnel may not be able to distinguish between a paintball marker and firearm. For your own safety and to protect the image of the sport, always carry your MINI in a suitable marker case or in the box in which it was shipped.
www.invertpaintball.com XIX TROUBLE SHOOTING Ball Breakage Problems The balls break in the breach. • The balls in you loader can bind, messing up your trigger timing. Always use an agitated or powerfeed loader and verify the eyes are on. • If the ball detents do not move freely, the paintballs may crush against them or they may have stuck in the depressed position, allowing double feeding. Check tension regularly and keep this area as clean as possible.
