Maintaining the HPR (In-Line-Regulator)
Your G6R comes equipped with the best regulators on the market. To ensure the highest
consistency and the maximum flow possible, we recommend that you clean and lubricate them
according to the maintenance schedule or whenever you encounter inconsistency. The regulators
typically perform flawlessly for many cases of paint before requiring any maintenance.
1.
Degas the marker and ensure that there
are no paintballs in the breech or barrel
of the marker.
2.
Unscrew the bottom half of the regulator
from the marker. Note that the top half is
factory tightened and should not be
removed.
3.
Reach into the regulator base with
tweezers or needle nose pliers to remove
the regulator piston.
4.
After the piston is removed turn the
regulator base upside down and tap the
spring stack and spring follower into your
hand. The picture to the right shows the
regulator body, spring stack, and piston.
5.
The main valve located in the top portion
of the regulator which is still connected to
the marker does not need to be removed
from the marker body or serviced. Never
replace or attempt to service a working
main valve.
6.
Inspect the surface of the piston and
piston o-ring for excessive wear or nicks
and replace as necessary.
7.
Inspect the interior walls of the regulator
base. Use a swab on the interior of the
regulator base to clean debris and old
grease.
8.
When reassembling the spring follower
(spring stack assembly) make sure that
the top and bottom spring washers curve
to the outside. A close up of the spring
assembly with the retaining o-ring is
shown to the right. The retaining o-ring
does not require lubrication
If in doubt – just stack the spring washers
like this:

9. Grease the piston o-ring then gently
replace the spring follower (spring stack
assembly) and piston into the regulator
base. There is a concave area around the
o-ring that holds additional lube and
reduces the need for frequent
maintenance. Reassemble the regulator
to the marker.
