SOLENOID FLOW RESTRICTOR
The following section covers direct adjustment of the
Solenoid Valve which should only be used by users with
a sound knowledge of the Geo3 firing cycle.
Built into the left side of the fame is the Solenoid Flow
Restrictor SFR
(SEE FIGURE 13A) , which controls
the exhaust flow from the Bolt System through the
Solenoid Valve. By controlling the exhaust flow 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
o
range of adjustment from
minimum to maximum flow.
By setting the restrictor to different levels of flow the
user can control how the gun performs and feels when
firing the marker.
Setting the restrictor to a higher level of flow will allow
for higher cycles per second (dependent on the ROF
Cap, see page 41). However these higher settings
will also reduce the smoothness of the firing cycle
compared to setting the restrictor at a lower level of
flow.

Setting the restrictor to a lower level of flow will
increase the smoothness of the firing cycle, however
reducing the flow also lowers the cycling rate of the
Geo3.

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 after adjusting the
restrictor.
The SFR has a minimum and maximum exhaust flow
setting.
The maximum exhaust flow 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 flow 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 adjustablilty
available on the marker, a blanking plug is provided.
This plug has the same effect as having the SFR set to
maximum flow.
To install the blanking plug. Push the SFR out of the
right side of the frame using a small hex key or pick
(see figure 13B) , then simply push in the blanking
plug making sure it is flush with the frame.
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 FLOW SETTING
