TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

AIR LEAKS

AIR LEAKING FROM THE AIRPORT

• Check the O-ring on the Air system. If needed, 

change the O-ring and try again. The O-ring 

normally used is #15 but some manufacturers 

might use a different size. Consult the manual 

of the air system you are using.

• Check that the hose connector is tight. 

Remove the hose from the connector by 

pushing the gray plastic towards the connector 

and pull out hose. Insert a 

3

16

allen key into 

the connector and tighten. 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.

• Consult page 19 for pin depressor adjustment.

AIR LEAKING FROM THE HYPER3™ REGULATOR

• First locate the position of the leak.

• For disassembly instructions consult the 

technical section under Hyper3™ regulator

• If the leak is coming from the bottom of the 

regulator you will need to disassemble the 

regulator and change the #010 O-ring and the 

seat on the brass seat retainer mounted inside 

the Hyper3™ regulator.

AIR LEAKING FROM FRONT OF THE SLG™

• Remove the Bolt kit from the marker and 

change the front #016 O-ring on the bolt and

the #014 O-ring located on the plunger. Clean 

the gun bore, lube well and re-assemble.

• If above doesn’t help, make sure that the bolt is

screwed together snugly.

PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRONICS

SLG™ WON’T TURN ON

• Make sure battery is new and well charged.

• Check that battery is connected to the 9V clip 

inside the SLG™ and that the other end of the

9V harness is connected to the board.

• Make sure there is no dirt or debris blocking 

the button from being pressed.

SLG™ 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 pressed all the time.

• Remove board from the frame by removing 

the grip panel on the left hand side, 

disconnecting the cables and pulling the board 

out. Carefully remove the two buttons and 

clean them well.

• Re-assemble and test. If problems persist, 

contact authorized service center for board 

replacement.

EYES WILL NOT WORK, LED KEEPS 

BLINKING GREEN

• First change the battery. The eyes are normally 

the first thing to stop working when a battery 

is dying.

• Next try to clean the eyes. You can either use 

canned air and blow out the eye holes through 

the feed neck hole.  Or remove the eye plates 

with a 

1

16

allen key, pull out the eyes from the 

mounting holes carefully and clean them with 

q-tips. To test if the eyes work make sure there 

is nothing inside the breech and that the bolt is

in the back position. Turn on the SLG™.  

The light should be red after the boot up 

sequence. If it is, the eyes are working.  

• Check that the eye wire is connected to the 

board so that metal clips are facing down.

• If nothing above helps, contact a store or DYE 

Precision for eye replacement.

SOLENOID WILL NOT ACTIVATE / 

TRIGGER NOT WORKING

• Check that the trigger adjustment is not set 

so that the microswitch cannot activate. 

You should hear a small click when pulling 

the trigger.

• If the SLG™ fires once when turned on but not 

after that your trigger is set so that the micro 

switch is always activated. Re-adjust the trigger.

• Change the battery if not positive about it’s 

charge.

• 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 is from the top of the regulator 

change the #012 O-ring on the outside of the cap.

• Otherwise consult a trained Tech to repair 

the Hyper3™.

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

• One of the gas passages could be leaking. 

Gas up the SLG™ 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.

AIR LEAKING FROM BACK OF THE SLG™

• Check that the bolt kit is tightened all the way 

into the SLG™.  If the bolt kit is loose, it will 

start to leak.

• If above does not solve the leak, remove the 

bolt kit and change the #020 O-ring on the 

back part of the bolt. 

• Replace the #O12 O-ring on the plunger.

• If leak persists, replace the two #005 O-rings 

on the bleed button.
