FAULT FINDING
FAULT FINDING TABLES
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The M170R leaks from the three-way
and/or manifold.
The two o-rings under the solenoid body or the gasket
under the solenoid plate are damaged or dirty.
Ensure the gasket is seated correctly.
Replace the gasket if damaged using M170R parts kit.
Check condition of the 5x1 NBR70 and 3x1 NBR70 o-rings
under the solenoid body.
Solenoid valve and/or manifold are over-pressurised.
Check the output pressure of the inline regulator,
adjust accordingly. Clean and inspect the inline regulator
assembly especially the piston o-ring, piston tip and regulator
seal. Replace damaged components as necessary.
Damaged or incorrect seals on the solenoid spool. Replace and/or lubricate solenoid spool seals.
Damaged M170R SMC solenoid pilot valve. Replace M170R SMC pilot solenoid valve.
The M170R leaks down the barrel.
Dirty or damaged can o-rings.
Clean and lubricate or replace 020 NBR70 and
017 NBR o-rings on the front of the can.
Dirty or damaged o-rings on the spool.
Clean and lubricate or replace the 011 NBR70 and
012 NBR70 o-rings on the main spool.
Dirty or damaged bolt o-rings.
Clean and lubricate or replace 14x2 NBR70 o-ring
on the back of the bolt.
Dirty or damaged rear bolt guide o-ring.
Clean and lubricate or replace 014 NBR70 o-ring
on the back of the bolt guide.
The marker is breaking paintballs
in the barrel or breech.
The ball detents are damaged or missing. Replace the ball detents.
The force setting of the loader is too high. Reduce the loader force feed setting.
The paint is poor quality. Try a higher grade of paint.
The velocity is set too high. Check and adjust the velocity of the M170R.
The paint is too big for the barrel bore size. Invest in a range of barrels with different bore sizes.

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The M170R does not re.
The POPS is not fully engaged. Push the POPS bonnet in until it engages.
The trigger is set-up incorrectly. Adjust trigger correctly.
The push-button safety is set to PUSH SAFE. Enable PUSH FIRE mode to disable the safety.
The three-way valve is damaged. Replace three-way valve.
Low constant velocity. The inline regulator output pressure is set too low. Increase the output pressure of the inline regulator.
High velocity rst shot. The inline regulator pressure is creeping. Strip and clean the inline regulator replacing the piston seal.
Velocity drop-off during rapid re.
Air system regulator does not have high enough ow. Try another air system.
Dirty/partially blocked inline regulator. Strip, clean, lubricate and rebuild the inline regulator.
The trigger is very “bouncy”.
The trigger pull is too short and the
return strength is too low.
See page 13 for trigger adjustment guidelines.
Two or more balls are being
fed into the breech.
Worn, damaged or missing ball detents. Change the rubber ball detent.
The feed force is too high from loader. Adjust loader settings/use a lower force loader.
M170R is inconsistent.
The inline regulator is supercharging. Strip and clean inline regulator, replace regulator seal.
Poor quality paintballs. Use better quality paintballs.
Poor paintball size to barrel bore match. Use a closer paintball to barrel bore size.
Inconsistent air supply from air system. Use a good quality air system.
M170R is inefcient. Poor paintball size to barrel bore match. Use a closer paintball to barrel bore size.
The safety button does not function.
The trigger is setup incorrectly. Adjust the trigger correctly.
The safety button is blocked or damaged. Clean and inspect the safety button assembly.
