Maintenance Features
The manual provides comprehensive guidance for maintaining the Ego LV2, emphasizing regular cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and replacement of highlighted seals and faces.
- Service Indicators: Specific sections detail "Lubrication Required" and "Service Required" for various components, indicating which parts need attention.
- Component-Specific Maintenance:
- Bolt and Rammer Assembly: Requires cleaning, inspection, and lubrication of all O-rings (014 NBR70, 14X2 NBR70, 013 NBR70, 012 NBR70, 011 NBR70, 010 NBR70) and the rammer bumper.
- Regulator Assemblies (HP and LP): Involves cleaning, inspection, and lubrication of O-rings (013 NBR70, 008 NBR70, 007 NBR70, 7X1 NBR70, 014 NBR70, 011 NBR70), seals (LPR Seal, HPR Seal, SL3 Reg Seal), and components like the LPR piston, HPR piston, and purge poppet.
- Valve Assembly: Requires cleaning, inspection, and lubrication of O-rings (5X1 NBR70, 013 NBR70, 3X1 NBR70, 017 NBR70) and the exhaust valve.
- Solenoid/Manifold: Inspection of manifold-body gasket, solenoid-manifold gasket, and 4X1 NBR70 O-rings for leaks.
- Breech Sensor (BS) Assembly: Detents (active and spare) should be inspected.
- Troubleshooting Guides: The manual includes sections for common issues such as:
- Leaks Down the Barrel: Often related to the exhaust valve, valve guide, or 013 NBR70 O-ring.
- Bolt Stays Forward and Leaks Down the Barrel: Requires de-gassing, cycling the bolt manually, and re-gassing.
- Marker Fires But Bolt Does Not Move: Typically due to an unengaged bolt pin, requiring proper alignment and engagement.
- Bolt 'Pops Up' When Firing: Check the lever assembly in the body.
- Solenoid/Manifold Leak: Inspect gaskets and O-rings.
- Constant High/Low Velocity: Involves checking regulator seals, pistons, purge poppet, manifold-body gasket, LP hose routing, valve guide, and bolt insert orientation.
- Inline Regulator Leak: Requires inspection of various O-rings, regulator plug, gasket, and frame gasket.
- Breaking Paint in the Breech: Check detents and bolt tip.
- Inconsistent Shot to Shot FPS: Inspect HPR/LPR seals, pistons, and frame filter.
- Inefficient / 'Airy' Sound to Shot: Check dwell value, LPR setting, and SFR setting, and solenoid-body gasket installation.
- Safety Precautions: Emphasizes wearing eye protection, using a barrel blocking device, never looking into the barrel, and ensuring the marker is de-pressurised before maintenance. All installations, modifications, or repairs should be carried out by qualified individuals at licensed facilities.
