TUNING
(without breaking paint)
STEP 4
Now put your air tank on the Omen and load paint.
STEP 5
Start to adjust the regulator up until the marker is shooting 10 fps above where
you want to set it (you will need a chronograph for this step). NOTE: you will have
to manually cock the marker each time since the recock pressure is turned off.
Once the reg is set, lock the adjustment sleeve in place with the lockdown screw.
STEP 6
Now adjust for recock. Start with 1/10th increments counterclockwise until the
marker starts to recock itself. Test with a fast string of fire, if the marker comes
uncocked turn the recock adjustment screw up slightly.
NOTE
:
For optimum performance, your OMEN
™
might need to be tuned each time you play.
That means setting the recock pressure as low as possible and the velocity under the legal limit.
(usually 300 fps).
The OMEN
TM
ships from the factory already tuned, and with regular cleaning and lubrication
should only require pressure regulator adjustments to set the velocity. Every time you adjust the
inline regulator, the recock pressure should also be adjusted.
Here is how to tune from scratch. It assumes you are adjusting to a field limit of 300 fps; if your
velocity limit is lower the numbers must be adjusted accordingly.

STEP 1
Check that the marker is clean and has a thin
coat of grease or oil on the hammer o-ring
(part #46). (A working OMEN
™
that stops
recocking is usually out of gas, dirty, or needs
lube.)
STEP 2
Before screwing in your CO2 or HPA tank turn
your recock all the way down by turning the
adjustment screw clockwise till it stops. Do
not bear down on this screw or you will strip
the allen wrench.
STEP 3
Next, adjust the regulator to its lowest output
setting. If you’re looking at the left side of the
marker, turn the adjustment sleeve on the reg
toward the trigger frame until it stops.
