Below is an operational guide we would advise users to follow when tuning

the Ego LV1 marker in addition to the set-up procedure detailed in the USER

MANUAL:

We are highly recommending that the LV1 is NOT dry red. That means

no ring of the marker with just air if it can be avoided. The dynamics of the

LV1 mean that the bolt and rammer rely heavily on the back pressure caused

by the ball being red down the barrel to reset the bolt and rammer to the rear

position. Dry ring will lead to damage of the rammer bumper and potentially

the rammer and body of the marker.

Because of the nature of the new dynamics and the increased range of

adjustability of the LV1, it is far easier to upset the balance of the marker and

take it out of its optimized window. This can lead to reduced efciency, and

increased wear and tear on the rammer bumper. Pay particular attention to the

LPR settings and the dwell settings.

All the factory settings for the LV1 are optimised for use in cold/winter

climates. Both dwell and LPR settings can be reduced when using the marker

in warmer climates. This will give improvements in efciency and feel as well as

longevity of components. With a brand new Ego LV1 marker there is no need to

‘break-in’ the marker rst before making these adjustments.

When using the marker in cold/winter weather conditions it is recommended to

reset the Ego LV1 to its factory state of tune. Attempting to use a low dwell and

LPR output in cold climates may cause performance issues.

The LV1 does not “feel” like any other Ego when it is being red. Without

ring paint over the chronograph, DO NOT try to set these markers up by “feel”

alone. We have had several reports of customers dry ring or ring paint, and

“feeling” like the marker was shooting low (compared to older verisions of the

Ego marker). They have then “tuned” the marker by feel and hearing to what

they think sounds the correct velocity and then shot the marker. In all cases the

markers have been returned to us shooting in excess of 350fps! Not only is this

dangerous, but it is putting excess stress on the internals of the marker. Please

be aware, this marker does not “feel” like any other marker when it is shooting

paint or dry ring.

Always conrm any adjustments by using a chronograph.

We have produced a basic “LV1 Tuning Guide” (overleaf) that should help any

techs and players that are unsure of the correct tuning procedure.

Please contact your nearest service centre if you have any

questions or issues regarding the tuning of the Ego LV1.
