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
