G4 BOLT SYSTEM EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET STARTED CAP Prepare the following items in order to begin using your G4: G4 BODY BOLT • One 9V battery. Be sure that the battery is fresh and from a reputable manufacturer. • Paintball loading device. (Recommended minimum load rate of 25 BPS) • .68 caliber paintballs. Always use fresh, high-quality paint with proper bore size for best results. • Approved air tank utilizing COMPRESSED AIR or NITROGEN ONLY.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY ATTACHING A PAINTBALL LOADER • Carefully remove the 2 hexagonal screws (3/32”) holding the left panel in place. (SEE PIC A) • Release clamp on feedneck. (SEE PIC A) • Locate battery harness and attach 9V battery to the connector pad. Do not use force! (SEE PIC B) • Loosen thumbscrew counterclockwise by hand. (SEE PIC B) • Replace battery in grip frame as shown in illustration C. • Insert feed tube of loader unit. • Replace grip frame and screws.
CONNECTING MACRO-LINE TO HIGH PRESSURE REGULATOR AND QUICK RELEASE FLIP LEVER ASA (RAPSTM) Pull back the collet section of the macro-line elbow located on your RAPSTM ASA. (SEE PIC A) • Keeping the collet back, insert macro-line hose firmly into the fitting and release the collet. Be sure that the hose is seated all the way into the end of elbow fitting. (SEE PIC B . C) • Repeat the same process on the macro-line elbow located on your OPR to connect the RAPSTM ASA.
VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT • Locate the (1/8”) allen key wrench included with your G4. • There are four adjustment screws (marked A, B, C and D) to adjust the trigger on the G4. • Adjust screw located at the side of the Operating Pressure Regulator (OPR) to increase or decrease velocity. • Screw A (5/64”) adjusts the amount of trigger travel prior to the marker firing. Turning this screw clockwise will reduce the amount of trigger travel.
TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT (CONTINUED) BOARD • Screw C (3/32”) adjusts the strength of the trigger’s return to rest by either reducing or increasing the magnetic pull. Turning this screw counterclockwise will decrease the strength. Turning this screw clockwise will increase the strength. Do not turn the screw too far - doing so may weaken the magnetic pull and prevent the trigger from being able to fully return to rest. (SEE PIC C) • Screw D (5/64”) adjusts the length of the trigger’s touch the micro switch.
PROGRAMMING YOUR G4 PROGRAMMING YOUR G4 (CONTINUED) 1. POWER 2. TOURNAMENT LOCK POWER ON • Dip Switch 1 set to “ON”. Modes cannot be set without unlocking tournament lock. • Press and hold down Button A to turn on the marker with eye sensors on. • Dip Switch 2 is non functional. • When battery voltage is lower than 7.2V, the indicator light will flash red. When battery voltage is over 7.2V then the indicator light will flash green.

PROGRAMMING YOUR G4 (CONTINUED) CARE AND MAINTENANCE RESET Routine care and maintenance for your Dangerous Power G4 will ensure many years of high performance and enjoyment. When in doubt, always seek the assistance of a certified technician from a reputable pro shop, or contact Dangerous Power Customer Service. To reset the marker to manufacturing default settings, press and hold down the trigger then press and hold down the on/off button.
CLEANING THE EYE-SENSOR BREAK BEAM SYSTEM IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE SERVICING YOUR MARKER : The function of the break beam sensor eyes is to allow the firing circuit to ‘time’ the activation of the solenoid. This prevents ‘chopping’ of paint, which is caused by the bolt cycling within the breech without the paintball being actually seated in the proper firing position. When the eye sensors are ON, the gun will not fire if the beam does not sense a paintball.
CLEANING THE EYE-SENSOR BREAK BEAM SYSTEM CLEANING THE BALL DETENTS (CONTINUED) 4. Carefully lift eye wires and pull out the eye sensors from the socket. Be careful not to lose the spring and the ball detent. (SEE PIC D) 5. With a cotton swab, gently wipe the back and front side of the eye sensor and the eye socket to remove any debris or residue. (SEE PIC E) 6. Replace eye sensors back to original position. Be sure the eyes are aligned correctly and facing the direction of the breech. 7.
CLEANING THE BALL DETENTS (CONTINUED) OPERATING PRESSURE REGULATOR (OPR) DISASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE 5. Place finger within breech, and gently push on the detent from the inside of marker body. Remove ball detent. (SEE PIC D) 6. Check the spring for proper tension and the ball detent for any damage. Replace with new part(s) if necessary. 7. With a cotton swab, clean the spring, ball detent, and detent groove. (SEE PIC E) The OPR regulates the amount of air-flow, which determines paintball velocity.
OPERATING PRESSURE REGULATOR (OPR) DISASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) OPERATING PRESSURE REGULATOR (OPR) DISASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) 3. By hand or with the assistance of a strap wrench, unscrew the Operating Pressure Regulator Body from the OPR Bottom Housing. (SEE PIC B) 4. Take out Regulator Piston and remove Regulator Spring . (SEE PIC C) 5. Remove all visible debris and dirt with a lightly dampened and clean cotton cloth. Take care not to scratch the surface of any regulator parts.
DISASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE OF DUMP VALVE BOLT AND DUMP VALVE PLUG DISASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE OF DUMP VALVE BOLT AND DUMP VALVE PLUG (CONTINUED) 1. Unscrew front of barrel from G4 body. 4. Lightly apply DP-40 lubricant to the tip of a cotton swab. 2. Use supplied allen key wrench (1/4”) on the back of marker and unscrew back cap. (SEE PIC A) 5. Apply lubricant directly onto the Dump Valve Bolt. (SEE PIC D) 3. Remove Dump Valve Plug from marker body. (SEE PIC B) 6.
SEPARATING G4 BODY FROM TRIGGER FRAME SEPARATING G4 BODY FROM TRIGGER FRAME (CONTINUED) 1. Remove macro-line from RAPSTM ASA. (SEE PIC A) 2. Carefully remove the 2 hexagonal screws (3/32”) holding the left panel in place. (SEE PIC B) 3. Gently secure the base of the connectors and pull up to remove the plugs. DO SO ONE AT A TIME. It may be helpful to use needle nose pliers. Note the location and direction of the connectors on the circuit boar for reassembly. (SEE PIC C . D) A 38 B C W W W .
SOLENOID MAINTENANCE SOLENOID MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) The G4 solenoid is a delicate electronic component that requires minimal maintenance or service. DP Engineering does not recommend frequent cleaning of this part, or its internals. The following instructions are provided for reference and for expert airsmiths only. 1. Follow Page 38 continued operation next step. 2. Using (5/64”) allen wrench key, locate and remove both screws securing the solenoid to the marker body. (SEE PIC A . B) 3.
REMOVING TRIGGER FROM FRAME RAPS™ FLIP LEVER ASA REMOVAL AND MAINTENANCE 1. Locate the two trigger adjustment screws. Use (5/64”) allen key wrench to loosen and remove both screws by turning them counterclockwise. Be careful not to misplace the screws. (SEE PIC A . B) 2. Locate trigger removal screw. Use (3/32”) allen key wrench to loosen and remove screw by turning it counterclockwise. Carefully pull out screw. Note that the latter part of the screw is a bolt, which the trigger hinges upon.
RAPS™ FLIP LEVER ASA REMOVAL AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) RAPS™ FLIP LEVER ASA REMOVAL AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) 5. Locate front and back screws within grip frame as illustrated, and unscrew with (3/32”) allen key wrench. (SEE PIC E . F) 11. Use a lightly dampened cloth and/or cotton swab to remove debris or grime from all RAPSTM ASA compenents, including the piston, spring, lever, and casing. (SEE PIC I) 6. Slide RAPSTM ASA forward on rail to remove from frame. (SEE PIC G) 12.
