HYPER3™ IN-LINE REGULATOR
ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
HYPER3™ REGULATOR DIS-ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
To disassemble the Hyper3™ regulator you will need a 3⁄16” Allen key and a 5⁄16” Allen key. Place
the 3⁄16” Allen key inside the top cap and the 5⁄16” Allen key inside the bottom cap. Unscrew the
bottom cap from the Hyper3™ body.
Next unscrew the brass seat housing from the body with a 3⁄16” Allen key. Slide the swivel from
the body.
To change the seat, pull out the old seat from the housing with a sharp object. Insert the new seat
in place and push it down with a flat object. Notice that it takes about 2000 shots for the seat to
perfectly sit into the seat housing. This is called the break in period for the regulator.
Remember to apply lube to the 010 and 013’s in the regulator before re-assembly.
Further disassembly to service the top section of the Hyper3™ should be performed by a trained
Tech.
VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
The velocity of the RAIL™ is adjusted by adjusting the input
pressure into the RAIL™. This is controlled with the Hyper3™
regulator. The Hyper3™ on the RAIL™ is factory set to 150 psi which
will give you a velocity of about 285 FPS (Feet per Second).
A 3⁄16” allen key will be needed for this operation. Turning the
adjustment screw in (clockwise) will decrease the pressure, and out
(counterclockwise) will increase the pressure. To adjust the velocity:
1. Make sure you and everybody around you is wearing ASTM/CE
approved paintball goggles.
2. Shoot the RAIL™ over a paintball chronograph.
3. To lower the velocity turn the Hyper3™ adjustment screw in. To
increase the velocity turn the screw out. Only turn the screw a
quarter turn at a time and shoot over the chronograph again.
Notice that a few shots are needed before the change can be seen
on the chronograph.
MAINTENANCE
For the REFLEX RAIL™ to function properly, it is essential that the
input pressure into the marker stays consistent at all times. The
general maintenance needed for the Hyper3™ regulator is to keep it
clean of dirt and debris at all times. A more extensive service
should be performed every 12 months by a trained Tech or if the
output pressure of the regulator doesn’t stay consistent. This can
be seen as inconsistent velocity and verified with a regulator tester
(sold separately). Notice that the Hyper3™ has a break in period of
about 2000 shots before it achieves the best performance.
