It may be necessary to re adjust the low pressure regulator from time to time to achieve desired velocities Bench adjusting the regulator can be done by pressurizing the marker be sure the input regulator is set properly and then turning the adjustment screw inward clock wise until you hear a leak coming from the 4 way valve in the grip area The 4 way valve has an over pressurization relief valve that will start to bleed off at approximate ly 125 PSI once you hear the leak start then back off the adjustment screw 2 turn and the leak will stop That will approximate the pressure to about 90 PSI The low pressure regu lator is designed to shut down and preserve the integrity of the low pressure system if it sees an input pressure over approximately 400 PSI coming from the main input regulator This marker was designed with safety and safety standards in mind If you attempt to shoot paintballs at veloc ities higher than established safety standards the marker will not function properly NOTE 1 You may notice that if you attempt to operate the marker at extremely high veloc ities the internals will not function properly NOTE 2 The B2K is not designed to shoot above the safety limits established by industry standards MANUAL STAND 6 3 04 10 20 AM Page 11 BeK STANDARD USER MANUAL Leak Related Problems 1 The B2K has a leak down the barrel Reason gas is leaking through or around the valve pin seal or O ring
