Q U I C K START 01 CHARGE BATTERY
THE IMPULSE® IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH COMPRESSED AIR (NITROGEN) AND CAN BE DAMAGED BY LIQUID CO2.
02 BARREL BLOCKER Make sure that the Impulse® Lithium-Polymer battery is fully charged. Use a 5/64-inch allen wrench to open the left side of the rubber grip and connect the Impulse® charger to the charging port before plugging the charger into a domestic 110 or 240 volt AC electrical outlet (plug adapters may be needed outside of US, Canada or Mexico.) The charger LED will glow green when charging is complete (20 to 40 minutes.)
04 LOADER
03 FILL TANK Have your compressed air (HPA) tank filled by a person who is properly trained to do so. If using an HPA system with an on/off valve make sure it is in the OFF position. If using a screw-in style preset HPA system like the Max-FloTM SISTM, fill it while it is removed from the marker. See the Gasses section of this manual for more information.
Secure the rubber grip, then assemble and install the included barrel into the Impulse®. Put the supplied barrel blocker over the end of the barrel, securing its cord as far back on the Impulse® body as possible, and cinching it tight.
05 TURN ON AIR Unlock the Q-LockTM feedneck and insert your loader and close the locking lever. If the locking lever does not close easily, do not force it consult the loader section of this manual. Due to the high rates of fire that the Impulse® can achieve, we recommend the use of a modern highperformance loader.
06 TURN ON IMPULSE
Gently gas up the Impulse® by slowly turning on the air system or turning the Impulse® bottomline adapter knob clockwise.
Turn on the Impulse® by pressing the power button momentarily. The Impulse® will indicate its battery charge level (see the Battery section for more information.) and be ready to fire. If you need to disable Vision® mode to fire gas without paint, push the button for approximately one-half second. Press and hold the power button until the Impulse® control panel LED goes dark, to turn the marker off. This acts as an electronic safety.
A gentle rise in pressure is important, as a sudden blast may reduce the service life of the Impulse®’s internals.
07 ADJUST VELOCITY Fill the loader with paintballs and turn it on. While wearing ASTM compliant paintball goggles in an area where all bystanders are protected, remove the barrel blocker and fire over a chronograph to measure the velocity. Using a 3/32-inch allen-wrench, adjust the primary regulator through the lower (red) opening in the Impulse control panel on the rear of the grip frame. Turn counter-clockwise to increase velocity/pressure, and clockwise to decrease. Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas pressure inside the marker to stabilize. Adjust until the marker is firing consistently within the limits for the field where you are playing (for safety reasons, never adjust the Impulse to fire at greater than 300 feet per second.) If you are unable to reach the desired velocity, or for more advanved velocity and pressure adjustment instruction, see the pressure balancing section of this manual. Depending on what modes of fire are allowed at the field where you are playing (semi-automatic, PSP, etc.) you may need to adjust the Impulse®’s Firing Mode. See the Firing Mode section for more information.
