Security

Before any intervention, even fast:

  • Remove the charger, then pull a vacuum to a safe area: the chamber is empty and, on an AEG, the spring is relaxed.
  • Turn off the energy: disconnected battery, closed HPA bottle and purged line, emptied gas before dismantling a valve.
  • Wear your eye protections for any shooting test and to open a Gearbox: a spring can jump.
  • Photograph each step of the dismantling: this is your winding instructions.
  • After any intervention on compression, spring or pressure, measure the power to the chronograph. The limit is that of your land and your country.

Maintenance

Most failures on this page are avoided with a few minutes of maintenance.

After each game

  • Decompression shot, charger removed
  • Battery disconnected, LiPo storage recovery
  • Dried replica if it took moisture
  • Bills collected or wet thrown, never recharged

Every few months

  • Isopropyl alcohol cleaned cannon and cocking
  • Seals of silicone oiled gas chargers
  • Controlled body and optical mounting screws
  • chronograph checked power

Before storing long

  • 3.8 V LiPo per element, separated in flame retardant bag
  • Gas chargers kept with a little gas, so that the seals remain flexible
  • Relaxed springs, including that of hi-cap chargers
