In the order: we start with what does not require anything to disassemble. Check as you go, the list is kept in this browser.

  1. Open bottle, regulator gauge in the range provided by its manufacturer, fully screwed fittings.

    Without tools

  2. A small LiPo (definition) is enough but emptys quickly in storage. Too low a voltage, the solenoid no longer opens properly.

    Without toolsTools: Balancer charger

  3. Pressure first, within the manufacturer's range; dwell then, following the calculator. Check the chronograph power after each change.

    Simple toolsTools: Chronograph

  4. See the fact sheet on air leaks: a whistle, even discreet, causes the pressure to drop at the time of firing.

    Simple toolsTools: Soap water

Stop

Stop and hand over the reply to a technician if:

  • The regulator or HPA engine must be dismantled: depress before, and in case of doubt entrust it
