HARDWARE 3.2 ADJUSTING VELOCITY
THE VELOCITY, OR SPEED AT WHICH YOUR LUXE
®
FIRES a paintball, must be measured and adjusted to below
the paintball field’s velocity limit immediately before each day of play for player safety. Fill the hopper 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 5/32-inch allen wrench on the adjuster in the
bottom of the Luxe
®
Vertical Regulator, turn clockwise to increase velocity/pressure [FIG. 1] and counterclockwise
to decrease.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE LUXE
®
VERTICAL REGULATOR WITH LARGER SIZED ALLEN WRENCHES. THESE ARE
USED TO REMOVE AND DISASSEMBLE THE REGULATOR, WHICH MUST NOT BE DONE WHILE IT IS PRESSURIZED.
Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas pressure inside the Luxe® to stabilize. Adjust and
retest until the marker is firing consistently within the limits for the field where you are playing.
ALWAYS MEASURE THE VELOCITY OF PAINTBALLS FIRED BY THE LUXE
®
BEFORE USE, AND NEVER ADJUST TO FIRE
ABOVE 300FPS (91.44 M/S.)HARDWARE 3.3 DEGASSING THE SYSTEM
BEFORE STORAGE, TRANSPORT OR MAINTENANCE, your marker will need to be unloaded and degassed. In
an area where it is safe to shoot and while wearing paintball goggles, loosen the Luxe
®
’s clamping feedneck and
remove the loader. By turning the marker upside down, you can empty any extra paintballs from the feedneck into
your hand.
EVEN WITH ITS GAS SUPPLY TURNED OFF, THE REGULATOR AND GAS PASSAGES IN THE LUXE
®
WILL CONTAIN
ENOUGH PRESSURE TO FIRE MULTIPLE SHOTS UNTIL THE MARKER IS DEGASSED.
Turn off your HPA system either with its on/off valve, or the on/off valve of a connected bottom-line adapter. Lift
the quick-strip latch upward to vent pressure from the Power Core [FIG 2] As the Power Core is depressurized, it
will make a sound similar to a soda can being opened. If you hear the sound of escaping gas for more than a
second or two, your HPA system has not been turned off. Turn off your HPA system and repeat the degassing
procedure.
Once the Luxe
®
has completely degassed, there will be no more hissing sound. If performing maintenance on the
Luxe
®
, remove the Power Core (see MAINTENANCE 5.1) to protect against accidental pressurization—otherwise, re-
close the latch. If using a screw-in style HPA system, unscrew the system from the marker’s bottom-line ASA. Pay
careful attention to make sure the HPA system regulator is unscrewing from the Luxe
®
’s ASA, rather than the tank
unscrewing from its regulator.
DO NOT LIFT THE QUICK-STRIP LATCH UNTIL THE GAS SUPPLY HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. IF THIS IS DONE ACCIDENTALLY,
TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY IMMEDIATELY. THE LUXE
®
POWER CORE WILL FIRE A LOW-POWER SHOT IF REMOVED BEFORE IT
IS FULLY DEGASSED. ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE LATCH WHILE THE GAS SUPPLY IS ON MAY RESULT IN O-RING DAMAGE.
