Assembly and Disassembly:
It is best NOT to take the board out of the marker as the on/off pin and the board
pins are easily lost. Also the wires can be easily broken. If the board is removed
it is best to replace the top board pin first, then put the board in place and then
slide the bottom pin in place.
To access the wires you should take off the left panel. This allows the wires to be
lowered when disassembling and assembling the gun.
To access the tournament lock it is easier to remove the right panel. There are
four toggle switches; the first three should be down. To enable programming
Number four should be up. To lock the gun put all four switches down.
Remember it’s the switch furthest away. The gun is factory set in “Normal” mode;
the tournament lock is not on.
The Independence can be pulled into its three
main pieces, powered up, aired up and the ram
operated. This ability makes Independence
exceptionally easy to trouble shoot. Problems
are found quickly and easily, and are just as
easy to fix.
Disassembly:
T
o disassemble remove the bolt, take the grip panel off the left side of the gun
(barrel facing away from you) and remove the
wires to the eyes and the solenoid and
straighten them out. Next, remove the two
screws on the underside of the gun, one
under the trigger guard and one at the back.
Then slide the trigger frame and the gun body
apart while feeding the wire up through the
trigger frame until the Trigger Frame is
completely separated from the Body and
Ram.
The marker components are visible. The valve pin assembly is easily viewed, as
is the hose and the hose fittings. Hose fitting are quick release type. To remove
the ram – without pressure in the hose – push the fitting
release toward the fitting body, pull on the ram body; the hose
will easily slide out of the fitting.
Pressing on the valve pin with an Allen Wrench should easily
open it.
