Notes:
- Normal activity may cause set screws to back out of adjustment. If necessary it is OK to use blue Loctite® or similar
thread-locking product on your Trigger set screws. However, do not use an excessive amount. Make sure you make
your adjustments carefully, and clean up any extra Loctite. Also, allow it to dry several hours before using your MINI GS.
- If any of the set screws are over adjusted in any direction, the MINI GS may not fire.
- If the Trigger travel is adjusted too short, the Mini may fire on its own, repeatedly, and/or uncontrollably.
9. ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Before attempting to perform any maintenance operations or any marker disassem-
bly, make sure that all paintballs and propellant sources have been removed from the marker and
that the regulator gauge reads 0 psi. Install a barrel blocking device, push Power button and hold
for over 2 seconds until the LED light glows solid RED, and keep the MINI GS power Off.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Keep your MINI GS clean and lubricated to eliminate the friction that would prevent reliable oper-
ation. Clean and lube the marker before each use, and do not put it away dirty. USE NO OILS! Do
not use oils made for paintball markers, real firearms or pneumatic tools, do not use oils at all. Do
NOT use petroleum-based lubricants in the lubrication of this marker. Under any circumstances,
DO NOT use a solvent-based lubricant. Teflon or silicone (Non-spray only) lubricants designed
for use on O-rings may be used for lubrication for the bolt area only of the main housing. Only
use Paintball specific marker grease, such as Empire marker grease. The following maintenance
procedures described below should be performed before each day of use or every 20,000 shots,
whichever comes first.
REMOVAL OF BOLT AND BOLT GUIDE ASSEMBLY
- Using a 3/32” hex wrench, insert it into the rear frame screw, turn the hex wrench counter-
clockwise and completely remove the screw. (Fig 9-1)
- This will allow you to pull out the Bolt and Bolt Guide Assembly. If assembly does not easily
slide out, insert a barrel swab into the front of the Body and push out the Bolt/Bolt Guide
Assembly. (Fig 9-2)
MAINTENANCE OF BOLT AND BOLT GUIDE
- Inspect the O-rings on both the bolt and Bolt Guide for any wear or damage. Replace damaged
or worn O-rings if necessary. (Fig 9-3)
- Lubricate all O-rings on Bolt and Bolt Guide with Empire marker grease, the supplied grease or
a paintball specific marker grease. Only a small amount is needed.
MAINTENANCE OF POPPET
- Use a 3/32” hex wrench and insert it into the back of the Bolt Guide Cap. Turn counter clock
wise until Bolt Guide Cap is completely removed. (Fig 9-4)
- Inspect and lubricate Bolt Guide Cap O-ring.
- Carefully insert a non-metallic object (like the back of a pen) into the front of the Bolt Guide.
Push Poppet Assembly out the back of the Bolt Guide. (Spring may fall out of Bolt Guide)
(Fig 9-5)
- Lubricate the Poppet O-ring, which is the most important O-ring used in the MINI GS and
should be maintained often.
REPLACING THE POPPET SEAL
If there is a slight air leak evident coming through the
bolt area, the Poppet Seal may be worn and need
to be replaced. With the Poppet removed, grab the
Poppet Seal with pliers and unscrew the Poppet by
hand from the Poppet Seal. Do not grab the Poppet
with pliers or put in a vice as it may damage the brass.
Install the new Poppet Seal by hand. Once tightened by hand, the Poppet will hold the Poppet
Seal in place and it should not come apart during operation.
REINSTALLATION OF POPPET, POPPET-
SPRING AND BOLT GUIDE CAP
- Place Poppet assembly into the back of the Bolt
Guide and gently push forward. If installed
properly the Poppet assembly will be all the way
forward resting on the Bolt Guide internal face.
Make sure the Poppet spring is seated straight in
the back of the Poppet. (Fig 9-6)
