GASSING
The Shocker
®
CVO is equipped with a bottom-line
style air source adapter (ASA). Before screwing an HPA system
into the ASA, make sure the ASA is turned off by loosening the
ASA knob on its front [FIG 8]. Take care not to turn the ASA knob
too far.
After screwing the HPA system into the ASA, air is released into
the marker by tightening the ASA knob [FIG 4]. It is important to
turn the knob slowly. Once air can be heard entering the marker,
wait until the hissing stops before turning the ASA knob further
to fully open the HPA regulator. This will protect the internal
components from a sharp rise in pressure, ensuring longer life.
DEGASSING AND UNLOADING
After use the Shocker
®
CVO
should be unloaded and degassed. In some jurisdictions,
paintball markers are legally required to be unloaded and de-
gassed before they are transported on public roads.
The ASA is turned off by rotating the ASA knob counter-clockwise
(loosening). When the knob is twisted far enough to turn the ASA
off, a small amount of air will vent from the ASA with a brief
hissing sound. This is normal. Do not turn the knob any further.
Turning off the ASA does not completely depressurize the
Shocker
®
CVO and may leave enough gas inside the marker to
fire 2 or more shots.
In a safe area (all persons protected by paintball goggles and or
netting, such as a paintball field’s chronograph area) remove the
loader from the Shocker
®
CVO.
Tip the Shocker CVO
®
to dump any paintballs from the breech.
Remove the barrel blocker and switch the safety to the live
position, exposing its red o-ring. Dry-fire in a safe direction until
the bolt no longer cycles with each trigger pull. Put the barrel
blocker back on and unscrew the HPA system from the grip ASA.
Take care to ensure that the HPA tank does not unscrew from its
regulator when unscrewing the regulator from the ASA.
The Shocker® CVO is designed to be powered by a high-pressure
compressed air (HPA) system only. Use of carbon dioxide
(CO2) to power the Shocker
®
CVO is likely to cause damage to

sensitive internal seals and will result in a voided warranty. HPA
systems with a 3000psi or 4500psi capacity can be utilized on
the Shocker
®
CVO. HPA systems with output pressures between
450psi and 850psi can be used with the Shocker
®
CVO.
An output pressure of 550psi is recommended for maximum
consistency at high rates of fire. HPA systems are shipped
empty, and must only be filled by properly trained personel.

After any trigger adjustments, the safety must be checked
to ensure that it still performs properly. If the safety cannot
be engaged, loosen either the magnetic tension or
pre-travel screw.
Adjusting the magnetic tension screw outward (counter-
clockwise) increases the distance between the magnet and
adjustment screw, and results in a lighter trigger pull. Turning
the screw in provides a stronger magnetic pull allowing for a
more responsive trigger return. The strongest trigger resistance
is achieved when the magnetic tension screw is able to make
contact with the trigger return magnet when the trigger is at rest.
PRE-TRAVEL
This set screw is located at the top of the trigger
behind the magnetic tension set screw. Adjusting this set screw
will alter the forward travel of the trigger pull. [FIG.08 B] The
length of the trigger pull is determined by where the trigger stops
in its forward position and how far back it can be pulled.
POST-TRAVEL
This adjustment is accessed by placing the allen
wrench at a slight angle from the left hand side of the marker.
[FIG. 08 D] Adjusting this set screw will alter the rearward travel
length of the trigger pull. The trigger must come to a stop with
the activation lever against this set-screw. [FIG. 08 C] Backing
out the screw far enough to allow the CVO™ pilot valve to stop
rearward motion of the trigger may result in pilot valve damage
and premature leakage.
ACTIVATION LEVER TENSION
The spring tension on the
activation lever which actuates the CVO™ pilot valve is adjusted
by changing which hook inside the grip frame is used for its
return spring. [FIG. 08 E] Decreasing activation lever tension can
lighten trigger pull, but care should be taken to any adjustment
here as too little tension will result in the system not resetting
consistently for follow-up shots. The Shocker CVO is factory-
configured at maximum activation lever tension (third hook
position down from the top). If a non-force-fed loader is used,
this is the desired setting to limit rate of fire and reduce feed
issues.
The trigger activation set-screw in the front face of the trigger
is calibrated at the factory to compensate for manufacturing
variance in the trigger body. This set-screw should not be
adjusted as improper-alignment can prevent correct operation
of the trigger safety and result in premature pilot valve leakage.
Even if someone on the Internet says adjusting this screw will
provide a better trigger pull don’t do it. Just don’t.
The Shocker
®
CVO has four main points of trigger adjustment
which may be set with a 1/16" allen key. This provides the
ability to fine-tune the perfect trigger for any style of play. Every
paintball player is unique with individual tastes. The Shocker
®
CVO trigger is easy to tailor for an ideal fit. Adjustment should
only be performed with the marker unloaded and degassed.
MAGNETIC TENSION
This set screw is located at the top of the
trigger; it is the set screw closest to the trigger guard. Adjusting
this set screw will alter the weight of the trigger pull. [FIG. 08 A]
