ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY
When using your Etha, you may wish to change the
velocity at which your Etha is firing. This is done by
inserting a 1/8" hex key into the adjuster screw at the
bottom of your SL3 inline regulator and adjusting it
accordingly
(SEE FIGURE 11A).
By turning the adjuster screw clockwise you decrease
the output pressure of the inline regulator and
consequently decrease the velocity; by turning
the adjuster screw counter-clockwise you increase
the output pressure of the inline regulator and
consequently increase the velocity. On the bottom
of the inline regulator there are engraved arrows to
illustrate which direction to turn the hex key to make
the relevant adjustment
1,2
.
Setting the output pressure too high on any inline
regulator used with the Etha will cause the solenoid
valve under the Etha body to vent gas from its built-in
pressure relief valve. If this occurs, reduce the output
pressure of the inline regulator.
1
After each adjustment fire two clearing shots to gain an accurate
velocity reading. Never exceed 300fps.
2
High, mid and low pressure output preset air systems can be
used with the Etha, providing the Etha is fitted with the SL3 inline
regulator originally supplied with the marker.
CHECK THE VELOCITY OF THE MARKER AT
REGULAR INTERVALS DURING USE. MANY
EXTERNAL FACTORS CAN EFFECT THE VELOCITY
THE MARKER FIRES AT SUCH AS; AMBIENT
AIR TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE, SIZE OF
PAINTBALLS BEING USED AND BARREL BORE SIZE.
