1) Clear a neat space to work. If possible, spread out a large, light-colored towel or paper towels on a flat surface. 2) Remove any paintballs from your hopper. Remove your hopper from your marker. 3) Remove the battery pack from the hopper. Consult your hopper’s owners manual for help if necessary. Place battery pack aside where it will not come in contact with any liquids or metal objects during installation. 4) Open the hopper’s lid. 5) Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen and remove the six screws in the right side shell. Place screws in a safe place until you’re ready to put back in the end. 6) With all screws now completely removed from the holes, begin just slightly separating the two shell halves. As the two halves are separating, all internal components should remain in the left side shell while the right side shell is removed by itself. If necessary, use a very small screwdriver to push the control board back plate and control board toward the left side shell while removing the right side shell. The on/off button of the control board extends through the back plate, so if the control board and back plate are not kept in alignment, the on/off button will snap off and destroy the control board. Remove the right side shell completely. 7) Remove the lid and lid pin, leaving the lid spring in its groove in the shell. Be careful not to lose the lid spring as it is small and easily lost. 8) Remove the control board and back plate together now from the left side shell. Unplug the control board from the sensor and motor harness. Place off to the side.

9) Remove the Drive assembly from the left side shell.

10) Remove the upper feed neck cover on drive assembly by removing 2 screws.

OWNER INFORMATION:

11) Remove your old Drive Cone and spring housing by removing the center screw.

12) Remove the C-clip located on the drive shaft within the top of the drive assembly. 13) You are now ready to install your New Magna Drive upgrade kit into your loader.

Adjusting the Drive Cone Force Magnets

Adjusting the Magna Clutch drive cone force There are a few ways to adjust the Magna clutch’s operation. Changing the amount of magnets, changing their location on the magnet holder, changing the magnet plates and using different feed cone springs.

Magnet Plates

There are different metal plates that fit into the bottom of the spring carrier. By changing this metal plate for different configurations you can change the amount of holding force, and the force pulse duration when the clutch slips. The metal in the center of the magnet plate will supply a constant force to the drive cone. The shaped protrusions on the outside of the magnet plate will supply an intermittent force to the Drive cone when the clutch slips. Too little metal on the inside of the plate may allow the clutch to slip too easily and thus prevent feeding of paintballs.

Magnets 1) Remove the Drive cone assembly completely. 2) On the Magnet holder there are 12 spots for magnets. Usually a total of 6-9 magnets will be used. It is possible to add, remove and reposition magnets according to what marker and paintballs you are using. The spots for the magnets toward the center of the magnet holder will supply a constant force to the drive cone. The spots on the outside of the magnet holder will supply an intermittent force to the Drive cone when the clutch slips. Too many total magnets may prevent the clutch from slipping at all, while too few magnets will prevent the feed cone from properly feeding paintballs. The following diagram is an example of good initial configurations for tournament paintballs:

Magnet Plate

If you are using paint-less practice balls (rubber) you may want the star shaped metal plate with all the shaped protrusions, and more magnets, as the practice balls have significantly more friction than regular paintballs. After you have setup your magnet plate read the Drive Cone installation section for the correct assembly procedure.
