TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
AIR LEAKS
AIR LEAKING FROM THE BACK OF AIRPORT
• Check the O-ring on the Air system. If needed
change the O-ring and try again. The O-ring
normally used is #015 but some manufacturers
might use a different size. Consult the manual of
the air system you are using.
AIR LEAKING FROM THE SIDE OF AIRPORT
• Check that the hose connector is tight. Remove
the hose from the connector by pushing towards
the connector and pull out hose.
Use a crescent wrench to tighten the fitting.
If needed remove and apply thread sealant to the
thread and re-tighten. If unsure consult expert
advice.
• Check that the end of the hose is cut straight and
is not worn out. If needed cut a small piece off the
hose with a razor blade and re-insert hose into the
fitting. Make sure hose goes all the way to the end.
AIR LEAKING FROM THE FRONT OF AIRPORT
• Replace the #006 O-ring located inside the airport.
This can be disassembled using a
3
⁄
16
” Allen
wrench and a
7
⁄
32
” socket wrench.
AIR LEAKING FROM THE HYPER3™
REGULATOR
• First locate the position of the leak.
• Check to see if the LPR is leaking. You may need
to replace the #010 O-ring on the brass reg
adjuster, or replace the lower #012 O-ring on the
LPR body. (See page #21).
• The LPR may be supplying the solenoid with too
much pressure. Make sure the LPR and the
Hyper3™ are set correctly.
• Gas up the DM9 without the frame attached
and try to locate the exact point of leakage. If leak
is coming from one of the blocked holes remove
the screw, apply some thread sealant and re-attach
screw to the body. If the solenoid is leaking,
remove the solenoid by unscrewing the two
screws mounting it down. Apply some lube to
the gasket underneath the solenoid and
re-assemble making sure that the solenoid is well
tightened into the body and that the eye wire is not
pinched underneath the solenoid.
AIR LEAKING FROM BACK OF THE DM9
• Check that the bolt kit is tightened all the way into
the DM9. If the bolt kit is loose, it will start to leak.
• If above does not solve the leak, remove the bolt
kit. Change the rear #020 O-ring on the rear cap
and the rear #011 O-ring on the bolt stem. Lube
well and insert the bolt kit back into the DM9.
Check page 19 for O-ring locations.
• Last, check the gas passage plug screws located
under the bolt kit and above the LPR. If these are
the source of the leak, remove and apply thread
sealant to them. Wait for the sealant to dry before
testing.
AIR LEAKING FROM FRONT OF THE DM9
• If air is leaking through the bolt tip, remove the bolt
kit from the marker and replace the #014 O-ring
located inside the tophat. Be sure the rear sail
bumper is a #111 and in good condition.
• If air is leaking from around the bolt, replace the
#017 located inside the cylinder and the front #020
on the outside of the cylinder.
PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRONICS
DM9 WON’T TURN ON
• Make sure battery is new and well charged.
• Make sure there is no dirt or debris blocking the
button from being pressed.
• Make sure the buttons are able to activate the
switches on the board.
DM9 WILL TURN ON / OFF BY ITSELF OR
THE EYES WILL TURN ON / OFF BY
THEMSELVES
• Both of these problems are caused because the
button(s) are being held down. Remove the board
from the frame by removing the two screws
holding it down and disconnecting the wires.
Carefully remove the two buttons and clean them
well. Re-assemble and test.
• Note that some batteries are wider than others and
may be pushing the buttons on the board against
the metal buttons on the frame.
• If problems persist, contact authorized service
center for board replacement.
• For dis-assembly instructions consult the technical
section under Hyper3™ regulator.
• If the leak is coming from the bottom of the
regulator you will need to dis-assemble the
regulator and change the #010 O-ring and the seat
on the brass seat retainer mounted inside the
Hyper3™ regulator.
• If the leak is coming from the swivel piece where
the hose connector mounts you will need to
change the two #013 O-rings under the swivel
piece or tighten the hose connector.
• If the leak comes from the small hole in the middle
of the regulator there are two possible O-rings
causing the problem, the #015 O-ring on
the piston and the #007 urethane O-ring inside
the body of the regulator. These O-rings should be
replaced by a trained Tech.
• If the leak is from the top of the regulator, change
the #011 O-ring on the outside of the cap.
AIR LEAKING FROM THE ASA
• Change the #011 O-ring on the top cap of the
Hyper3™ and apply a small amount of lube to the
O-ring.
AIR LEAKING BETWEEN BODY AND FRAME
• Leak between the body and the frame can be
caused by a couple of things.
• First pull out the Bolt kit and change the #015 sail
O-ring and the rear #020 O-ring on the outside of
the cylinder, and the #020 O-ring on the outside
of the top hat.
