HYPER2™ IN-LINE REGULATOR
ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
ANTI CHOP EYES/ BALL DETENTS
MAINTENANCE AND CHANGING
• The Hyper2™ can hold a small residual
charge of gas, typically 1 shot. Always
discharge the marker in a safe direction to
relieve this residual gas pressure.
• Always remove the regulator from the
M7 before servicing.
• Improper stacking of shims will cause
failure of the regulator and possible
damage to the M7.
• Excessive dirt and debris can affect
the Hyper2™’s performance and increase
the need for servicing.

USAGE
Carefully connect your air hose from your bottle or air system to the Hyper2™ In-Line. The
Hyper2™ In-Line is set by the factory to approximately 185psi. This pressure should give
you a velocity of approximately 285fps.
ADJUSTMENTS
The output pressure of the Hyper2™ In-Line is adjusted by turning the brass seat housing.
The seat housing screw is located up inside the bottom of the reg. A 3/16” Allen wrench
will be needed for this operation. By turning the housing counterclockwise, you will
increase the output pressure of the regulator to the marker. By turning the housing
clockwise, you will decrease the output pressure of the regulator.
After each adjustment of the output pressure of the Hyper2™ In-Line, you will need to
cycle your marker a few times. This will allow your marker and air system to stabilize at
their new operating pressure. The Hyper2™ will need a break-in period of about 2,500
shots to let its seat form to the piston and reach its optimum performance.
The Hyper2™ has eight components and six o-rings

Disassembly of the Hyper2™ In-Line is easily done with 3/8”
and 5/16” Allen wrenches.
MAINTENANCE
To ensure top performance from the Hyper2™, maintenance should be performed every six
months or sooner, depending on the severity of playing conditions. Cold, wet weather will
shorten the effective life of the grease. Heavy dust or fine sand can infiltrate the Hyper2™
and prevent the piston from moving smoothly and/or cut the o-rings.
1
Make sure the inlet and outlet ports and connecting fittings are free of all dirt and paint.
2
Examine all o-rings for nicks or cuts.
3
Carefully inspect the seat for excessive wear that might cause spiking and over-pressurizing.
4 Clean any accumulated dirt out of the air chambers and passages.
5
Keep the piston o-rings and spring pack generously greased to allow
smooth velocity adjustment and prevent erratic velocity
spikes and drop off.
6 Clean off all old grease that may be contaminated with dirt;
reapply fresh grease to the piston and other necessary areas.
7
Be sure to reassemble the internal components and
shim stack
(see figure 2)
in the proper order and direction.

ANTI CHOP EYES
The Anti Chop Eye (ACE) system will prevent the M7 from chopping paint by not allowing the marker to fire until a ball is fully seated in front of the bolt.
The eyes use a beam across the breech. On one side there is a transmitter, and on the opposite side a receiver. In order for the marker to fire with the
eyes turned on, the signal between the two eyes must be broken. After every shot, before the next ball drops in the breech, the eye transmitter and
receiver must see each other. If the eyes are dirty and cannot see each other between shots, the LED on the board will start blinking green. This means
that the eyes are dirty. This is an extremely reliable system as long as the eyes are kept clean. The most common reason for dirty eyes is broken paint. If
the eyes become dirty the marker will default to a reduced rate of fire to prevent chopping. If this happens during game play, you can bypass this by
turning the eyes off. Clean the eyes as soon as possible.
NOTE: IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, THE MARKER MAY ACT AS IF THE EYES ARE DIRTY OR NOT FIRE AT ALL. IN THIS
CASE, REPLACE THE BATTERY.
NOTE: TAKE CARE WHEN REPLACING THE EYE COVERS. OVER-TIGHTENING THE RETAINING SCREW
COULD RESULT IN STRIPPING THE THREADS.

CLEANING THE ANTI CHOP EYES
Quite often, just cleaning the breech out with a swab will clean the eyes well
enough for them to read one another. For a thorough cleaning, the best
method is to use air. Using an air hose or canned air (typically used for
dusting keyboards) works best.
Blow the eyes clean from inside the breech. If you feel the eyes still need a
more detailed cleaning, remove the eye covers to gain full access to the
eyes.
To remove the eye covers, you will need a 1/16” Allen wrench.
Simply insert the allen wrench into the hole in the eye cover to access the
retaining screw (see figure 3). As you back out the screw, the plate will be
pushed up.
NOTE: Regular eye cleaning is recommended even if no paint is broken.
Clean the eyes every two months or 10,000 shots to eliminate any built up
dirt. Excess grease from the front bolt o-ring can build up in front of the
eyes. Remember to check for this after greasing the bolt and cycling the
marker a few times.
CHANGING BALL DETENTS
The ball detents are also located under the eye covers. If you are
experiencing double feeding or chopping, check the condition of the ball
detents. They should come to a soft point. If they are flat or heavily
rounded, they should be replaced. Ball detents should be replaced about
every 40,000 shots.
