| The
SET-UP
This
part of the install is very easy to do, however if you are
not familiar with adjusting the settings I recommend that
you consult your owners manual and various other available
resources before you begin.
Adjusting
your dwell, ABS, and Input Pressure is crucial to making this
bolt to its maximum potential. Please read carefully and follow
along.
If
you are not sure of what you are doing....ask for help. If
you are getting poor results...its not the bolt's fault....its
just not set up correctly.
With
patience and an understanding of what you are doing, your
marker will shoot very nice with my bolt.
1.
Turn your ABS
(Anti Bolt Stick) OFF.
Consult the PMR User Manual (page
4) and
Also
on page 4 of your PMR manual
learn how to adjust your dwell.
Adjust
your dwell to 25 for the people
with the stock board....20 if
you are using the UL Frame.
2.
Go
to your local field and chrono your marker to 300 FPS or whatever
you chrono to your your field.
3.
Once you get it shooting 300fps and the marker looks
and feels like its performing well, put a hopper on the marker
and test fire a stream of paint. If all is good.....go play
a game with this setup. If the consistency is good during
the game(accuracy), after the game, lower their dwell by one
flash. Then go play another game.... see if the change in
dwell noticeably negatively affected the consistency (accuracy).
If not, lower the dwell again by 1 after that game. Continue
to lower and test until you notice a loss of consistency at
low and high rates of fire. At this point you need to increase
your dwell back up to regain the consistency. I would go up
one to two flashes in dwell just to be safe.
That's
it. Lower your dwell after each game you play until you start
to notice drop off or inconsistent shots. Then go up 1 or
2. This is how you fine tune the set-up.
For the
best performance out of your bolt I strongly recommend using
a fresh Energizer Lithium 9volt
battery or a fresh Duracell 9 volt. Don't use cheap or old
batteries. The really do provide poor results. This style
of bolt strongly relies on a fresh battery for max performance.
Also...make
sure your in-line regulator is clean and working well. When
your regulator gets dirty and or needs grease you will get
drop-off regardless of your dwell and you will be inconsistent
regardless of your paint to barrel match, dwell, pressure,
or bolt assembly.
On page
12 of the PMR User Manual they cover
how to clean and service your Hyper2 inline reg pretty well.
Read it carefully and you should be able to do it without
messing anything up. If you have some other regulator you
will need to consult their manual in order to know how to
properly care for it.
I can
not stress how important a clean and greased regulator is.
I would do it every 10,000 shots for best results. Its easy
to do after you do it once or twice. The results are well
worth the time. With any regulator there is a break-in time.
Meaning that the performance of your regulator will increase
after you put 2000-3000 shots on it.
Spacers
 |
The
spacers were designed to give your more adjustability
with your marker. For a while now the buzz with spool
valve guns has been to have adjustable sized firing
chambers. Some people feel that the higher the pressure
the more shots per tank you get. Others feel that the
higher pressure will also yield better consistency at
high rates of fire.
With
no spacers your marker will operate at the lowest pressure,
and with all the spacers, you will get the highest operating
pressure.
How
many spacers you use is up to you. Personally I like
to have a low pressure...so I use no spacers. Other
people like the feel of the higher pressure set-up.
Its all personal preference. As far as efficiency goes,
I found very little to no change in shots per tank between
no spacers installed and 2 installed. The kit comes
with 2 spacers, so play around, and see what you like
most. If you are using brittle paint, or in cold weather,
I would use no spacers.
Either
way, let me know what you guys think and what set-up
worked best for you. |
Well
that's it guys. I hope this info has helped. If you have any
problems with the installation and setup of the bolt please
feel free to contact me. My email is todd@techtpaintball.com
