Manual

The following section covers direct adjustment of the solenoid
valve which should only be undertaken by users with a sound
knowledge of the Ego LV1 firing cycle. Setting either restrictor
incorrectly may cause performance issues.
Built into the right side of the solenoid valve are two solenoid
flow restrictors SFR(s) which control the exhaust flow from
the rammer bore on the backward stroke (Restrictor
A
) and
forward stroke (Restrictor
B
) (SEE FIGURE 12A) . By controlling
the exhaust flow from the rammer bore, the speed of the
rammer during its forward and backward strokes can be sped
up or slowed down. The SFRs can be adjusted using a small
flat headed screw driver.
Each restrictor has a range of adjustability from 1(-) to 10 (+).
Setting an SFR at 1 will provide the MINIMUM level of exhaust
flow from that restrictor. Setting an SFR at 10 will provide the
MAXIMUM level of exhaust flow.
By setting these restrictors at different levels of flow the user
can control how the marker performs and feels when firing the
marker.
Setting the restrictors to a higher level of flow will allow for
higher cycles per second (dependent on the ROF Cap, see
page 30). However these higher settings will also reduce
the smoothness of the firing cycle compared to setting the
restrictors at a lower level of flow.

Setting the restrictors to a lower level of flow will increase the
smoothness of the firing cycle, however reducing the flow also
lowers the cycling rate of the Ego LV1.

RESTRICTOR B CONTROLS THE FORWARD STROKE OF
THE RAMMER. AS SUCH IT HAS THE ABILITY TO DIRECTLY
CONTROL THE VELOCITY OF THE PAINTBALL. SETTING
RESTRICTOR B BELOW LEVELS 6-7 ON THE SCALE WILL START
TO REDUCE THE VELOCITY BELOW THE OPTIMAL SETTING.
THIS HOWEVER MAY BE IDEAL FOR INDOOR/RE-BALL USE.
SOLENOID FLOW RESTRICTOR PRESETS
Below are a list of recommended settings and their effects
on the Ego LV1. The settings are expressed in the following
format 1/6 where the first number is the flow level of
Restrictor A and the second is the flow level of Restrictor B.
1
> EGO LV1 FACTORY SETTING - 5/7 - this setting will provide
a smooth shooting marker with a reasonable rate of fire, ideal
for most ramping presets (eg PSP10, PSP12 etc).
> HIGH RATE OF FIRE - 10/10 - this setting will provide
optimal cycling speeds but will have slightly more kick than
the factory setting. Ideal for unlimited rate of fire modes
> SMOOTH SHOT - 1/7- this setting will provide a very
smooth shot and a low cycling speed. Ideal for low rate of
fire modes.

These results may differ due to the LPR output pressure and Dwell
settings on the Ego LV1.
