CAUTION: READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS BEFORE HANDLING OR
ATTEMPTING ANY WORK ON YOUR FIELD ONE PAINTBALL MARKER. SHOULD YOU BE UNSURE AT ANY
POINT, STOP AND GET HELP FROM A FIELD ONE PAINTBALL CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN.
Q: My FORCE trigger is very bouncy and I’m having issues with “runaway trigger.” How do I fix it?
A: You can start by adjusting the D-BOUNCE setting higher (Factory Default is: 2) and see if that helps with the issue. If you are still having
a “bouncy trigger issue” make sure the trigger magnets are in place. Back out the trigger activation set screw ½ turn. Adjust the trigger so
there is equal travel before the trigger activates the micro switch and after the trigger activates the micro switch.
Q: Where can I get additional o-ring kits and parts to maintain my FORCE Marker?
A: Y
ou can obtain o-ring kits and parts kits directly from Field One Paintball by going to www.fieldonepaintball.com or you can obtain parts
from your local Field One Paintball Retailer.
Q: What is the recommended dwell setting for the FORCE?
A: Dwell should be at 16 when you get the marker and after you use it. There's no advantage to running a higher dwell to "break it in." Too
low of a dwell setting may lead to inconsistency or drop-off. Too high of a dwell can cause bad air efficiency.
Q: What operating pressure does my FORCE run? What tank regulator output pressure is best for the FORCE?
A: The operating pressure of the FORCE is between 140psi and 160psi depending on conditions and some other variables. Because there
is no LPR adjustment, it is not necessary to pressure test the FORCE in order to balance the regulator system. Simply adjust the HPR
until you reach the desired velocity and go play! A tank output pressure between 250psi and 550psi. Any tank output pressure higher
than 700psi may damage your marker, possibly resulting in a solenoid damage. Please check your output pressure before using your
Air System on The Force.
Q: I lowered my bolt delay (to increase my potential max ROF and now I have intermittent eye malfunction. What should I do?
A: The bolt delay is too low so the eyes are activating too early while the bolt is still cycling backwards to prepare itself for the next paintball
to drop. Between the time that the paintball is fired from the breech and the next paintball drops in place, the eyes activate (start to read)
and see your bolt tip, they never register a change from the bolt tip to the next ball settling in the breech which causes an eye error.
Raising the BOLT DELAY setting back to FACTORY DEFAULT or slightly higher will normally fix this problem.
Q: How much lube should I put on the bolt tip? Or on the rest of the o-rings in the engine?
A: For the bolt tip- just a small amount on each o-ring, then use your finger to put it around the entire o-ring. Too much lube can cause bolt
movement problems or can cause the 4C-ES eyes to get gunked up with oil or grease. In extreme cases, you will suffer from inaccuracy
as the barrel and the paintballs themselves get coated in lubricant.
For the engine, you will want to apply a medium coating of F1 approved lubricant to the dynamic o-rings (seals that move against a
surface during the firing cycle) and a thin coating to the static o-rings (o-rings that do not move). If you under lube your engine o-rings and
seals, you will need to lube the engine more frequently and you may see more wear on the o-rings in a shorter amount of time. If you
over-lube your engine, you may cause restriction to movement in the engine which will be detrimental to performance. You may also end
up needing to clean your breech and barrel frequently as excess lube will push out of the engine into the breech and the internals of the
marker.
Q: What threading is the barrel?
A: The Field One FORCE can accept barrels with “AutoCocker” threads.
Q: Where can I find additional information about Field One Paintball Markers?
A: There is a wealth of information about Field One Paintball Markers on the Field One Paintball website. There are technical manuals and
technician tips available for each of the older Bob Long/Field One Paintball markers (MARQ, Onslaught/Insight, MVP, G6R Intimidator)
under the SUPPORT tab on the Field One Paintball website. F1 FORCE video tutorials, the F1 FORCE Quick Start Guide and the Field
One Force User Manual is also available on the website: https://fieldonepaintball.com/pages/support-1
Q: Where do I ship my marker if I need repairs or require help with warranty work?
A: The first thing to do if you are in need of technical support for your Field One Paintball Marker is to visit the Field One Paintball website
and see if there is an authorized Field One Certified Tech or Field One Authorized Dealer in your area. If you end up wanting to ship your
marker to the Field One Factory Service Center for repair you will need to submit the RMA form (which can be found here:
https://fieldonepaintball.com/pages/factory-service-center
Once you have submitted your RMA form, you will receive an email with an RMA# and instructions on how to send your marker to the F1
Factory Service Center.
