GEO3.5 MANUAL 19
SOLENOID
FLOW RESTRICTOR
WARNING!
Setting the restrictor too low (especially in extreme weather conditions)
may result in: low velocity, inconsistent velocity or preventing the bolt from
cycling. If this occurs Increase the SFR ow setting.
WARNING
The following section covers direct adjustment of the solenoid valve which should
only be used by users with a sound knowledge of the GEO3.5 ring cycle.
Built into the left side of the fame is the solenoid ow restrictor “SFR” (see gure
12A), which controls the exhaust ow from the bolt system through the solenoid
valve. By controlling the exhaust ow from the bolt system, the speed of the bolt
during the forward stroke can be sped up or slowed down. The SFR can be
adjusted using a 5/64” hex key.
The restrictor has a 90˚range of adjustment from minimum to maximum ow.
By setting the restrictor to different levels of ow the user can control how the gun
performs and feels when ring the marker
Setting the restrictor to a higher level of ow will allow for higher cycles per
second (dependent on the ROF Cap, see page 30). However these higher
settings will also reduce the smoothness of the ring cycle compared to setting
the restrictor at a lower level of ow.

Setting the restrictor to a lower level of ow will increase the smoothness of
the ring cycle, however reducing the ow also lowers the cycling rate of the
GEO3.5.
1 The restrictor controls the forward stroke of the bolt. As such it has the ability to directly control
the velocity of the paintball. It is strongly recommended to chronograph the GEO3.5 after
adjusting the restrictor.
The SFR has a minimum and maximum exhaust ow setting.
The maximum exhaust ow setting can be achieved by turning the SFR dial
counter-clockwise so it is pointed vertical. This will allow the bolt to move
forwards at its fastest possible speed.
The minimum exhaust ow setting can be achieve by turning the SFR dial
clockwise so it is pointed horizontal. This setting will apply the greatest restriction
on gas exiting the marker, slowing down the bolt forward stroke.
The SFR can be set anywhere in between the minimum and maximum
In the event that you do not want this adjust-ability available on the marker, a
blanking plug is provided. This plug has the same effect as having the SFR set
to maximum ow.
To install the blanking plug. Push the SFR out of the right side of the frame using
a small hex key or pick (see gure 12B), then simply push in the blanking plug
making sure it is ush with the frame.
