42 ETEK5 MANUAL

CLEANING THE LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR

Remove the SL4 inline regulator and regulator sleeve as detailed on page 39.

Push and hold the front of the LPR assembly and the valve plug back into the

ETEK5 body (see gure 24A). While continuing to do this, pull the tuning fork out of

the ETEK5 body (see gure 24B).

Pull the valve plug with attached valve stem sub-assembly out of the ETEK5 body

(see gure 24C) then remove the LPR body assembly (see gure 24D).

Tip the spring and piston out of the LPR bore (see gure 24E) (if the LPR piston is

held in place by grease stiction, use some needle-nose pliers to grip the piston and

pull it out of the body. Be careful not to damage the piston tip when doing this).

Clean and inspect the 013 NBR70 o-ring on the LPR piston, re-lubricating with a

thin layer of grease or replacing if damaged (labelled

gure 24F). Next clean

and inspect the piston tip (labelled

gure 24F), if the tip is damaged replace

the piston. Remove any excess grease on the piston, over lubrication of the LPR

assembly can cause adverse effects on performance of the LPR.

Unscrew the LPR cap from the LPR body (see gure 24G). Clean and inspect

the internal (labelled

gure 24H) and external o-rings (labelled

gure 24H)

on the LPR body, replacing if necessary. Lubricate both with a small amount of

grease, using a small hex key to gently apply grease to the internal o-ring.

WARNING!

Always de-gas your marker, discharging any stored gas in a safe direction,

and remove the barrel, loader, air system and any paintballs to make the

marker easier and safer to work on.

If you are unsure about performing a maintenance procedure please

contact your nearest service centre.
