WARNING
All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity
that is less than 300 feet per second (fps) and that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the
paintball park where the marker is in use.
Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the power source is
refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the power system is changed, and upon request
of any player or game official.
1. Chronograph the marker using standard chronograph procedures and following safety rules. Shooting
velocity will vary based upon many factors, such as paint, weather, and air system.
2. Adjust velocity by using a
3
/
16" allen wrench to turn the velocity adjuster. Figure 6. Turn adjuster
clockwise to raise velocity. Turn adjuster counterclockwise to lower velocity. Figure 7. Turning the
velocity adjuster changes the amount of tension on the hammer spring. The hammer spring may be
changed for additional velocity adjustment; insert stiffer spring to raise velocity and less stiff spring
to lower velocity (red spring is stiffer than blue spring). See next page for more about springs.
3. Chronograph the marker after every velocity adjustment.
4. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the power source is
refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the power system is changed, and upon
request of any player or game official.
