The Wolverine Airsoft INFERNO GEN 2 is a high-pressure air (HPA) engine designed for airsoft replicas, offering advanced electronic control for precision performance and efficient air usage. This owner's manual provides comprehensive information on its setup, operation, and maintenance.
Function Description:
The INFERNO GEN 2 HPA engine replaces the traditional gearbox in airsoft replicas, utilizing compressed air to propel BBs. Its core function revolves around a solenoid valve that precisely controls the flow of air from an HPA tank to the barrel. This electronic control, managed by either Spartan Electronics or a Premium FCU (Fire Control Unit), allows for fine-tuning of the engine's "dwell" time. Dwell refers to the duration the solenoid valve remains open, directly impacting the amount of air used per shot and, consequently, the BB's velocity and consistency. The engine is designed to be highly adaptable, with various kits available to integrate into different airsoft platforms, including V2, V3, and M249 replicas. It aims to provide superior performance, consistency, and reliability compared to traditional AEG (Automatic Electric Gun) systems.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Pressure Operation Range: 40-140 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch)
- Voltage Operation Range: 6-8V
- Muzzle Energy: 0.5J-3J (Joules), dependent on setup
- Rate of Fire (ROF): 5-35 RPS (Rounds Per Second)
- Components: The engine consists of several key parts: a 214 Solenoid, Valve Housing, Spring, Nozzle, Baffle, and Cylinder. It also utilizes various O-rings for sealing, specifically 1.5x18, 1x13, and 1x10.5 O-rings.
- Compatibility: Designed with interchangeable nozzles to fit most airsoft replicas. Specific compatibility information is available on the Wolverine Airsoft website.
Usage Features:
- Electronic Tuning (Dwell Adjustment): The primary usage feature is the ability to electronically adjust the dwell time. This allows users to optimize the engine for maximum performance and air efficiency. Setting the dwell too high wastes air, while setting it too low leads to inconsistent velocity and inaccuracy. Detailed tuning instructions are provided in the separate owner's manuals for Spartan Electronics or Premium FCUs.
- Nozzle Replacement: The INFERNO GEN 2 allows for easy nozzle replacement, accommodating different replica types that may require specific nozzle lengths for optimal feeding and air seal. This process involves removing the cylinder and baffle, paying close attention to O-ring and spring placement during reassembly.
- Installation: While the installation process can vary significantly depending on the airsoft replica, Wolverine Airsoft provides online video guides and documentation to assist users with common gun platforms.
- Safety Information: The product is intended for users 18 years or older, emphasizing the importance of eye and mouth protection, reading all manuals, and adhering to local, state, and federal laws. Users are warned that modifying their airsoft gun with this product may alter its accuracy and range, potentially making it dangerous up to 200 meters.
- Troubleshooting: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues such as incorrect firing modes (semi/burst), inconsistent velocity, misfeeds, and lack of response when the trigger is pulled. Solutions range from adjusting settings like ROF and dwell to checking for damaged O-rings, air leaks, or battery issues.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Servicing: Regular maintenance is recommended every 25,000-50,000 rounds, with more frequent servicing advised in dusty or dirty conditions.
- Lubrication: O-ring compatible lubricant (e.g., TechT GunSav) is essential for maintenance. The manual provides detailed steps for lubricating specific O-rings, including the 1.5mm x 16mm O-ring below the threads, the 1mm x 13mm O-ring above the threads, and the 1mm x 10.5mm O-ring around the poppet.
- Disassembly and Reassembly: The manual outlines a step-by-step process for disassembling the INFERNO unit by unscrewing the two halves counterclockwise, disassembling the cylinder assembly, and carefully removing the nozzle and baffle. Reassembly involves reversing these steps, ensuring proper placement of the spring and O-rings, and screwing the unit back together clockwise.
- Solenoid Maintenance: For specific solenoid maintenance, users are directed to a separate Solenoid Maintenance Guide available on the Wolverine Airsoft website, indicating that this component may require specialized care beyond general engine lubrication.
- Warranty Registration: Users are encouraged to register their INFERNO HPA engine online to ensure their product is covered by Wolverine Airsoft's limited warranty. This also provides access to full warranty details.
