Inconsistent 
velocity
Marker may need to be greased. Clean old grease from the poppet, the bolt and bolt guide O-rings and apply 
fresh grease. Do not use too much, as it will prevent the moving parts from 
cycling smoothly.
Dwell may be set too low or too high. Reset the dwell setting to the factory default.
Check valve may be missing. Make sure the check valve is in place.
Battery may be low. Replace battery with a fresh name brand alkaline 9-volt.
Poppet O-ring may be worn. Replace poppet O-ring and apply fresh grease.
Regulator pressure may 
be set too high.
Lower regulator pressure.
Velocity drops 
off when firing 
multiple shots
Air tank is not screwed all the way 
into the Mini’s regulator ASA.
If during rapid firing the first ball comes out of the barrel at full velocity and 
following shots decrease substantially, watch the gauge on the Mini regulator 
to see if the needle drops down significantly and is slow to come back to the 
set pressure. This is typically the result of not screwing your air tank in enough. 
When screwing your air tank into the Mini’s regulator ASA, it is important to 
not stop as soon as the marker pressurizes, but to continue turning until the 
air tank stops. It is also acceptable to install the air tank when it is empty, then 
have it filled by a professional while it is installed. This will ensure that you get 
the maximum air flow from your air tank.
Scratches 
on bolt
Spring may be damaged. This can cause negative performance. The main spring should be repaired by 
a trained technician or it can just be replaced.
Leaks 
sometimes 
while shooting 
multiple shots
Poppet may be sticking open.  Clean the old grease from the poppet O-ring and apply fresh grease. If that 
doesn’t help, replace the poppet O-ring and apply fresh grease.
