AIR SUPPLY
The M8 should be operated using air/nitrogen gas only. This air needs to be supplied to the
Hyper3™ in-line regulator at a regulated pressure of no more than 850 psi. The Hyper3™ in-line
regulator comes factory preset at 185psi.
GASSING UP YOUR M8
Screw in your air system to the ON/OFF airport and turn the knob of the airport clockwise, all
the way in.
TURNING ON YOUR M8
The M8’s power is controlled by two buttons. The top button turns the marker on and off, while
the bottom button turns the eyes on and off. Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the
marker on. The LED in the grip will illuminate during the boot sequence.
NOTE: If the eye is not working properly, try replacing the battery.
Blue: - Boot sequence
Red: - Breech is clear, no ball (eyes on)
Green: - Ball in breech, ready to fire (eyes on)
Blinking Red: - Eyes are off
Blinking Green: - Eye failure (see page 26)
Blinking Blue: - Indicates a low battery, battery should be changed
as soon as possible
LPR
The LPR is pre-set from the factory at approximately 75-80 psi and should need no adjustment
out of the box. If fine tuning adjustment is desired or needed, you must be sure that you are
adjusting the LPR correctly. See page 20 for detailed instructions. If the LPR is improperly
adjusted, you could dramatically hinder the M8’s performance or prevent the marker from
functioning at all.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the LPR’s output ressure.
Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the LPR’s output pressure.
HOPPER
To get the best performance out of your M8, it is recommended that you use a motorized loader.
Preferably one that force feeds the paint really, really fast!
ADJUSTING VELOCITY
The velocity is adjusted through the Hyper3™ in-line regulator. The Hyper3™ in-line is preset from
the factory at approximately 185 psi. This pressure setting should have the marker shooting at
about 285fps. Your paint-to-barrel fit will also have a noticeable affect on your velocity. Make
sure that the paintball fits into the barrel loosely but does not drop through.
NOTE: For the Hyper3™, turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the output
pressure, decreasing the velocity. Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will
raise the output pressure, increasing the velocity.
NOTE: If the battery is too low, it may not be able to power the solenoid correctly. This will
affect your M8’s velocity, causing it to become inconsistent and/or low.
