EVIL

The FUSE™bolt and Hyper2™are registered trademarks of Dye Precision, Inc..

Design rights, copyrights and all other rights reserved. All patterns, drawings, photographs, instructions or manuals remain the intellectual property of the manufacturer.

Covered by one or more of the following U.S. Patents: 5,613,483; 5,881,707; 5,967,133; 6,035,843; 6,474,326 and additional patents pending. All rights will be strictly enforced.

Air Supply - The EVIL®MINION™should be operated using air/nitrogen gas only. This air needs to be supplied to the Hyper2™in-line regulator at a regulated pressure of no more than 850 psi. The Hyper2

™

in-line regulator comes factory preset at 185psi.

Gassing Up Your EVIL

MINION™- Screw in your air system to the on/off airport and turn the airport knob clockwise, all the way in.

Turning On Your EVIL®MINION™- The EVIL®MINION’s power is controlled by two buttons. The top button turns the marker on and off, while the bottom button turns the eye on and off. Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the marker on. The LED in the grip will illuminate during the boot sequence.

NOTE: If the eye is not working properly, try replacing the battery.

Orange - Boot sequence

Red - Breech is clear, no ball (eye on)

Green - Ball in breech, ready to fire (eye on)

Blinking Red - Eyes are off Blinking Green - Eye failure (see EVIL®MINION™Board, page 4)

LPR - The LPR is pre-set from the factory at approximately 75-80 psi and should need no adjustment out of the box. If fine tuning adjustment is desired or needed, you must be sure that you are adjusting the LPR correctly. See page 10 for detailed instructions. If the LPR is improperly adjusted, you could dramatically hinder the MINION’s performance or prevent the marker from functioning at all.

NOTE: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the LPR’s output pressure.

Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the LPR’s output

pressure.

Hopper - To get the best performance out of your EVIL

MINION™,

it is recommended that you use a motorized loader.

Preferably one that force feeds the paint really, really fast!

Adjusting Velocity - The velocity is adjusted through the Hyper2

™

in-line regulator.

The Hyper2™in-line is preset from the factory at approximately 185 psi.

This pressure setting should have the marker shooting at about 285 fps.

Your paint-to-barrel fit will also have a noticeable affect on your velocity.

Make sure that the paintball fits into the barrel loosely but does not drop through.

NOTE: For the Hyper2

™

, turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower

the output pressure, decreasing the velocity. Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise,

or out, will raise the output pressure, increasing the velocity.

NOTE: If the battery is too low, it may not be able to power the solenoid correctly.

This will affect your EVIL

MINION’s velocity, causing it to become inconsistent and/or low.

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES

• The EVIL

MINION™marker is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or death.

• Please read, understand and follow the directions in the EVIL

MINION™owner’s manual.

• Eye protection that is designed specifically for paintball and meets ASTM/CE standards must be worn by user and persons within range.

• Recommend 18 years or older to purchase. Person under 18 must have adult supervision.

• Always treat the EVIL

MINION™marker as if it were loaded and able to fire.

• Only use compressed air or nitrogen gas in the EVIL

MINION™marker. DO NOT USE CO2.

• Do not exceed 850 psi input pressure.

• Ensure all air lines and fittings are tightened and secured before gassing up the EVIL

MINION™.

• Always chronograph the EVIL

MINION™marker before playing paintball.

• Never shoot the EVIL

MINION™marker at velocities in excess of 300 feet per second,

or at velocities greater than local or national laws allow.

• Never look into the barrel or breech area of the EVIL

MINION™when the marker is switched on

and able to fire.

• Always fit a barrel blocking device to your EVIL

MINION™when not in use on the field of play.

• The operator’s manual should always accompany the product for reference or in the event of resale and new ownership.

• Do not point the EVIL

MINION™marker at anything that you do not intend to shoot.

• Do not shoot at people, animals, houses, cars or anything not related to the sport of paintball.

• Do not fire the EVIL

MINION™without the Fuse™bolt screwed in completely.

• If you read these instructions and do not fully understand them or are unsure of your ability to make necessary adjustments properly, call EVIL

or your local pro shop for help.

EVIL®MINION™BOARD

SETTINGS + FUNCTIONS

When servicing the EVIL®MINION™:

• Make sure a barrel sleeve is fitted to the EVIL

MINION™.

• Make sure your hopper is removed from the EVIL®MINION™.

• Make sure there are no paintballs in the breech of the EVIL®MINION™.

• Always remove the first stage regulator and relieve all residual gas pressure from the EVIL

MINION™before disassembly.

• The EVIL®MINION™can hold a small residual charge of gas, typically 1 shot, with the first stage regulator removed. Always discharge the marker in a safe direction to relieve this residual gas pressure.

WARNING

BUTTONS AND LED INDICATOR

There are two buttons and a LED indicator mounted inside the EVIL®MINION™frame. These are accessible on the back side of the frame. The top button is used to turn the EVIL®MINION™ON and OFF. The bottom button is used to turn the eye feature of the EVIL

MINION™ON and OFF. To turn the EVIL®MINION™ON press and hold the top button until the LED indicates orange and changes to either red or green, the MINION is ready to fire. If there is no ball and the LED is RED, you hold the trigger for 1 second to force the MINION to fire once. If there is a paintball inside the breech and the LED is green, just press the trigger to fire the marker.

In normal operation mode the LED indicator provides the following information:

Orange Bootup sequence.

Red No ball detected inside the EVIL®MINION™(eyes ON).

Green Ball detected inside the EVIL®MINION™(eyes ON).

Blinking Red Eye function turned OFF. The EVIL®MINION™will fire even though

there is no ball inside the breech.

Blinking Green Eyes are blocked. Either the eyes are either dirty, the marker is not

gassed up, there is a bad connection between the board and the eyes or the battery is low.

BOARD SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION MODE

There are five settings you can alter on the EVIL®MINION™board. (see figure 2):

1. ABS (Anti Bolt Stick)

This helps to prevent bolt-stick, but may result in higher velocity for the first shot.

2. Trigger Sensitivity Adjusts the delay between two trigger pulls.

3. Dwell Time the solenoid is activated for.

4. ROF (Rate of Fire) when the eye is deactivated.

5. Fire Mode

Setting 1, Anti Bolt Stick, is changed by turning DIP switch #1 on the circuit board either ON or OFF. When ABS is activated, the dwell is increased after 15 seconds of non-use for the next shot fired. This helps prevent bolt stick. Factory default is ON. Notice that the setting is only activated after re-starting the EVIL

MINION™.

The following settings 2-5 can only be modified in configuration mode. To activate the configuration mode, turn your marker off, unscrew the two left side grip panel screws with a 3/32” allen key and set DIP switch #2 to the on position. Next, turn your marker on. The 3-color LED will cycle through all colors for one second to indicate that you have entered the configuration mode. To cycle through different settings, pull and release the trigger. Configuration mode has 4 settings that can be changed.

NOTE: The eye is always activated when you turn the marker on, to turn off the eye feature press and hold the bottom button until the LED starts blinking Red. NOTE: The EVIL®MINION™automatically switches off after 10 minutes of non-use.
