OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
PLEASE READ ALL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE ION™ PAINTBALL MARKER
WARNING — — — — —
USE ONLY A CO2 TANK WITH AN ANTI-SIPHON TUBE. Do not exceed 200psi inlet pressure to the Ion. Do not replace any internal hose with any brand other than Smart Parts. Do not use any type of hose clamp or overheat internal hoses—this can weaken and damage them. Do not grease or oil the solenoid internals—this will cause it to jam.
ION QUICK START 1.
Screw on the barrel, then place a barrel cover over the end of the barrel.
2. Screw your air source into the Ion’s bottom line. If using Nitrogen/ Compressed air, simply screw your tank in until it seals. If using CO2, be sure to only use a tank with an anti-siphon tube. Failure to use an antisiphon tube will cause a major decrease in performance and/or cause seal damage to your Ion. We also recommend using an on/off valve, as well. 3. Place your hopper into the Ion’s feed tube. If the fit is a little tight, slowly spin the hopper clockwise until it fits all the way into the feed tube. Now add paintballs, then turn on your loader. Note: An electronic agitating hopper is recommended for use with the Ion. 4. Making sure your goggles are on, remove the barrel cover. Turn the Ion on by depressing the membrane button for approximately two seconds. The on/off switch, which also functions as your safety, is located on the left side of the marker, just above the above the grip and behind the trigger guard. (Figure 1) The switch light will now blink rapidly red (green for UK users). The Ion is now on and in Vision mode. 5. The Ion is now ready for play. Follow all safety regulations and rules before beginning and during play. NOTE 1: To degas the Ion properly and prevent damage to your bottle o-ring, turn the bottle out slowly as you cycle the marker after you have removed the hopper and paintballs. Make sure that there are no paintballs in the marker breach, turn the eyes off, and point the barrel towards the ground with a barrel cover on during removal. CAUTION: The Ion’s regulator will hold one to three shots worth of air after the air source has been removed. For safety, make sure to cycle your Ion with the air source completely removed UNTIL IT WILL NOT FIRE to be certain that all air is out of the Ion and regulator. NOTE 2: When not playing with and storing the Ion for an extended amount of time, disconnect and remove the battery to prevent draining it.
READ OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THIS IS NOT A TOY. MISUSE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. EYE PROTECTION DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR PAINTBALL MUST BE WORN BY USER AND PERSONS WITHIN RANGE. RECOMMEND 18 YEARS OR OLDER TO PURCHASE. PERSONS UNDER 18 MUST HAVE ADULT SUPERVISION.
POWER/MODE INDICATOR When you turn on the Ion, the red light inside the on/off switch (green for UK circuit boards) will begin blinking rapidly. This indicates your Ion is on, in Vision mode and ready to fire. This is the ideal mode for game play. If you tap the switch once more, the light will blink more slowly, in a double blink sequence. This means that the eyes are off, but the Ion will still fire. This is the desirable mode for degassing and testing. If the light blinks slowly, one blink at a time, the eyes are on, but you have an obstruction in the chamber. To remedy this, place the Ion into the eye off mode, clear the obstruction, then tap the on/off switch once more to place the Ion back into Vision. All other light indicators are covered in the CIRCUIT BOARD SETTINGS/ADJUSTMENT section.
