TROUBLESHOOTING
If you break a ball:
If you break a ball in the barrel then all that is needed in most cases is to squeegee out the barrel with a barrel cleaner. You can do this without
removing the barrel if you are careful not to damage the ball retainer. If you break a ball in the breech then proceed as follows:
Gun will not re even though tank is installed:
1/ Some tank valves are opened by screwing the tank onto the gun, make sure that the tank is screwed in all the way. If
the gun still will not work then the valve may be faulty or incompatible with your gun.
If the velocity is too low and will not turn up then it could mean:
1/ Inlet gas pressure too low, below 500 psi inlet pressure (CO
2
) gun may not achieve 300 fps. This could be because the
tank is either too cold or empty.
2/ Inlet gas pressure too high, above 1200 psi inlet pressure gun will not achieve maximum velocity and may not
re-cock reliably.
3/ Hammer speed too slow, caused by dirt or something else. Strip gun, clean all moving parts and assemble after lubricating
 withInferno-lube.Makesurethatthehammerandboltareaneasyslidingtinthebores,ifnotthenreplace  
the hammer O-ring.
4/ Mainspring worn out.
5/ Poorowofgasinsystem,couldbeabadvalveontankorotherblockage.
6/ Bolt installed upside down.
If the gun does not re-cock properly (goes fully-auto or burps) then it could be:
1/ In l e t pressu r e too low, b e l o w 3 0 0 p s i t h e g u n w i l l n o t c o c k r e l i a bly. R e - f i l l t a n k o r w a r m t a n k u p
(with lukewarm water, not heat).
2/ Inlet pressure too high, cool tank down or use a regulator.
3/ Hammer speed too slow, see above.
4/ Mainspring worn out.
If the gun double feeds (res two balls at once) then:
1/ Check the ball retainer by unscrewing the cover plate and removing the retainer, inspect it for damage, especially any
cuts or cracks around the base of the rubber “spike”. replace part if necessary.
INFERNO INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1.3.3
PRECAUTIONS/SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read this manual carefully before using this paintgun.
Alwaystreatthe“Inferno”(andanyotherrearm)asifitwereloaded,thiswillavoidunpleasant“surprises”.The“Inferno”paintballgunisnot
a toy, it can cause injury or death if misused. Always use a barrel plug when not playing. When using the “Inferno” you must make sure that
yourself and anyone who is within range is wearing approved eye and ear protection.
Please make sure that this manual is included with the gun if you sell this paintgun. Read these instructions prior to use.
Always make sure that both you and anyone within range is wearing approved eye protection. Always store the paintgun with the gas tank
and loader removed.
If you need to make sure that the paintgun is un-loaded then do this by removing the loader and then tipping any remaining balls out of the
breechandthenringtheguntwicewhilepointedinaSAFE direction and then removing the gas source.
WARNING - Never look into the barrel while it is installed on the marker.
If using compressed air as a propellant then only use the correct lubricants as recommended by the air system manufacturer. Whatever
propellant gas you use make sure that only approved experts work on any part of the cylinder or air regulator. Remember, compressed gases
can kill, they must be treated with respect.
WARNING -The “Inferno” may sometimes re spontaneously if energised with a gas source without rst cocking the hammer, so
always wear safety goggles.
WARNING - Do not attempt to dismantle the Inferno beyond removing the barrel and bolt without rst
making sure that it is unloaded and de-gassed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Section 1 - Preparing For Use
Make sure that you and everyone else within range is wearing approved eye and ear protection. Make sure that the safety catch is set to “safe”
by pressing the safety catch in from the left side of the gun (viewed from the rear) and install a barrel safety plug into the barrel before cocking
the gun by pulling the cocking handle to the rear until it locks backwards. Install the gas supply and the feed system, then check the muzzle
velocity as in section 4 below. You are now ready to play paintball.
Section 2 - Making the Gun Safe
Install a barrel safety plug in the barrel, tip the gun sideways so that the ball in the breech rolls back into the feeder. Then grasp the cocking
handle and pull the trigger at the same time, be careful to only let the cocking handle come forward slowly until it is all the way forwards. Then
pushthesafetycatchto“safe”.Thegunisnowsafeandifyouarenishingforthedayyoucanremovethegastankandfeeder.(Neverstore
the gun with the feeder or the tank installed as this can be dangerous and/or cause damage to the gun).
Section 3 - Firing
Firstcarryouttheinstructionsasin“PreparingforUse”asabove.Thenpushthesafetycatchtotherepositionandpullthetriggerwhenyou
areready,the“Inferno”willreeverytimeyoupullthetrigger.
Section 4 - Velocity Adjustment
Becausetheringvelocityofyourgunisdependantonsuchthingsastemperature,weatherandaltitude,youmusttestthevelocitybefore
use(andsubsequentlybeforeeverydayofuse).Youmustuseachronographtomeasuretheringvelocityofyourgun.Thevelocitymustnot
exceed300feetpersecond(thelimitatsomeeldsmaybeless).Attherearofthegunyouwillndthevelocityadjustmentscrew.Turning
this clockwise will increase the velocity and turning it anti-clockwise will decrease the velocity. (TIP- When using CO
2
) In cold weather the
velocity adjuster may not seem to do very much, don’t wind it in all the way.
Section 5 - Exhaust Valves
Attention-There are two different exhaust valves available for the inferno, with characteristics as follows:
(CO
2
ONLY)Black (soft) seal: Used for temperatures below 80° Fahrenheit (26° Celsius) and input pressures below 1,000 psi, this seal exhibits
good sealing characteristics at very low temperatures and pressures. Its resilience means that leakage caused by dirt or grit can usually be cured
by cleaning the sealing surface.
(When using Air) White (hard) seal: Used for temperatures above 80° Fahrenheit (26° Celsius) and input pressures above 1,000 psi, this seal
is extra hard to resist extreme pressure and temperature, but may not seal properly at lower temperatures.
The exhaust valve installed in your gun depends on the model type and the country in which you live. Some models of Inferno are supplied
with a spares kit.
If you experience loss of performance in warm conditions, then please make sure that a white seal is installed
in your gun.
Clean all of the paint and shell from the bolt and breech area then re-lubricate the bolt.Replace the bolt (the correct side
upwiththegastransferholeatthebottom,ifyoureplaceitup-sidedownthenthegunwillnotreanyballsandyoumay
damage the ball retainer) and push the cocking handle back through the bolt and hammer (the easiest way to do this is to
push it through until it touches the top of the hammer and then slide it back until it engages the hole
in the hammer).
Hold the gun tipped back slightly (to stop the bolt sliding forward) and remove the cocking handle.
Grasp the grooved portion of the bolt that protrudes from the back of the gun and pull the bolt rearwards from the gun.
First clear any jam by pulling the cocking handle back (if it has jammed then a sharp tap will free it quicker than a steady pull)
then de-cock the gun by tipping the gun sideways so that the ball in the breech rolls back into the feeder, remove hopper/loader
and cap with ‘hopper stopper’ then grasp the cocking handle and pull the trigger at the same time, Be careful to only let the
cocking handle come forward slowly until it is all the way forwards.
