1.THE INVERT MINI
Welcome to the world of the Invert MINI. The MINI is a modern culmination in the pursuit of speed, technology, weight reduction, and overall performance. It started with radical imaginative concepts, which in turn inspired years of research and development, plus countless hours of testing and engineering. As a result the MINI features innovative electronic and pneumatic technology that challenge the paradigm that formerly defined “how a high performance paintball marker should function”. The patented valve design, Slip Stream(TM) Solenoid, and Hall effect Sensor Trigger, set new standards for marker technology. The MINI is precision engineered from aircraft grade aluminum to meet the demands of the most competitive players, teams, and climates. The ultimate intent of the MINI is to exceed your expectations.
1
Invert Paintball expects you to play hard and play frequently and thus the MINI was built with this in mind. All internal parts, wear, and contact surfaces have been heat treated or hard anodized. The toughest and most resilient materials and components have been used in the construction of this marker.
•The MINI uses a single standard 9-volt battery for operation. The circuitry is a microprocessor based digital controller.
•The MINI operates on low-pressure. The main operating pressure is 180-200 PSI. The pressure can be nominally adjusted and monitored visually via the gauge on the bottom-line regulator. There is no secondary regulator to worry about.
•The MINI comes standard with an accurate lightweight 12” aluminum barrel that may be removed and replaced to specifically suit players’ aesthetic and performance desires.
2. OPERATION
***Read the entire manual before you prepare your MINI for play. ***
A. OPERATION
Safety and safe marker handling are the most important aspects of paintball sports. Please practice each of the following steps with an unloaded marker before attempting to charge your marker with compressed air and paintballs.
Do not load compressed air and paintballs into your MINI until you feel completely confident with your ability to handle your MINI safely.
Keep your finger out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger; point the muzzle of the marker in a safe direction at all times. Keep the marker turned off until ready to operate. The MINI uses an onoff switch for one of its safety devices.
Always keep your MINI pointed in a safe direction. Always use a barrel plug or barrel-blocking device. Always use ASTM approved paintball specific eye protection in any areas where paintball markers may be discharged. Remember that the ultimate safety device is you, the operator.

B. SWITCHING ON YOUR MINI
To switch the MINI on, locate the Power Button on the back side of the front fore-grip, in front of the trigger guard and directly under the LED. Push and hold the button for 1 second and the LED light will turn GREEN and then to RED. Release button and the LED will intermittently flash green indicating that the marker is now ON and LIVE.
C. SWITCHING OFF YOUR MINI
Push and hold the Power Button on the front fore-grip for 1 second and the LED will turn solid RED and then to GREEN. Release button and the MINI will switch off.
The Invert MINI also has an “Automatic OFF” feature. If you accidentally leave your MINI powered up, it will shut itself off after approximately 1 hour of inactivity.

3. REPLACING THE 9-VOLT
The MINI requires a single 9-volt battery as the electronic power source. The use of long life batteries is recommended.
The 9-volt battery is located in the front fore-grip in front of the trigger guard. The battery is accessed through the removable left side plate on the front fore-grip.
Confirm that the marker is OFF. Remove the screw at the bottom that secures the left side plate in the front fore–grip. If there is already a battery in the fore-grip, gently disconnect the battery from the battery harness, and then connect a fresh 9-Volt battery to the harness. Carefully re-insert battery and harness back into the battery compartment with the harness pointed down towards the bottom of the grip. Make sure that there are no abrupt kinks and the wires are comfortably placed, do not force them into place. Replace the grip panel and screw.
The MINI also has a Battery Life indicator. If in standard operation and the LED flashes with a GREEN color then the battery is GOOD, if the LED is ORANGE the battery is fairly depleted and you should change battery soon, or if the LED is RED then there is less than 20% of the full battery strength remaining and battery should be replaced immediately.
NOTE: Some rechargeable batteries are too large for the MINI battery compartment. If they don’t fit, please don’t force them as this may damage the gun.

4. THE MINI EYES OPERATION
The MINI uses a unique break beam eye system to determine the absence or presence of a ball for the purposes of reduced paint breakage and optimum rates of fire. The MINI board is preprogrammed to activate the eye system each time the marker is powered up.
To turn the eyes off, ensure that there are no paintballs in the MINI breach or feed-neck, make sure the marker is switched off, and then while pulling and holding the trigger, turn the marker on. A quick double blinking green LED will indicate that the eye system has been deactivated.
To turn the eyes back on, simply turn the marker completely off and power it up again without holding the trigger.
A slow consistent single flashing green LED indicates that the eyes are ON with no ball in the breach and a rapid flashing green LED indicates that there is a ball in the breech.
For optimal performance of the MINI eyes, keep the inside of the MINI breach clean and clear of broken paint, paint residue, or other debris.
Although the eyes can be cleaned via cleaning the breach of the MINI marker, if the eyes need to be accessed please follow the steps outlined in the Main Body Assembly section of this manual.

V. COMPRESSED AIR / NITROGEN SUPPLY
The MINI is designed to work with Compressed Air/Nitrogen.
IT DOES NOT WORK WITH CO2.
Consult the place where you purchased your MINI, or a recognized and competent airsmith, for instruction in the safe handling of compressed-air cylinders before purchasing or connecting one to your MINI.
The MINI utilizes a fully functional regulator at the bottom of the grip frame that doubles as an ASA adaptor or receiver for a standard threaded pre-set output compressed air system. It is strongly recommended that a very high flow consistent air system is utilized as an air source for your MINI. There are several manufacturers of high quality fixed output compressed air systems.
It is recommended that you use a “low pressure” (350-450 psi) fixed output regulator system, although it is acceptable to use a “high pressure”
5 fixed output (750-850 psi) system.
If you are using an adjustable output regulator system the output pressure should be between 350-450 psi.
Before pressurizing your MINI, check to make sure that you and anyone within range are wearing eye protection designed specifically for paintball. Double check that the body is screwed into the frame and the screws are tightened. Ensure you have a barrel plug sock or barrel-blocking device in place and there are no paintballs in the marker. The on-off switch should be OFF. Air can now be applied, the marker will become pressurized.
REMEMBER: compressed air or nitrogen systems can be extremely dangerous if misused or improperly handled. Use only cylinders meeting D.O.T. or regionally defined specifications. Do not perform any work to your tank or tank regulator. NEVER disassemble your tank or tank regulator. Only a qualified and trained technician should perform work on your tank and tank regulator.

VI. PAINTBALL AND LOADER USAGE
The MINI comes equipped to accept 1.03" (outer dimension) standardgravity feed loaders as well as most agitating and force-feed loaders. Fit the loader directly into the vertical feed tube. Always twist it down in a CLOCKWISE direction.
The MINI uses .68 caliber, water-soluble paintballs, readily available at paintball pro-shops, commercial playing fields, and many sporting goods stores. The paintballs are fed from the loader through the direct vertical feed port and into the breech of the marker.
VII. FIRING THE MINI
Keep your finger out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger; point the muzzle of your marker in a safe direction at all times during this process. Be sure your goggles are securely in place and make sure the MINI marker is off. Push on/off button and hold for over 1 sec until the Led light changes from Green to Red
Warning Always keep your MINI pointed in a safe direction! Everyone within firing range should always use paintball approved eye and face protection in the presence of live paintball markers.
•Place the empty loader onto the marker.
•Be sure that it is securely mounted in place.
•Apply the compressed gas, pressurizing the marker.
•Put the paintballs into the loader.
•Remove the barrel plug, sock or barrel-blocking device.
•Aim the MINI in a safe direction.
•Turn the MINI on: Push the on/off button for 1 sec until the LED light changes from solid Green to solid Red, then release button and LED should do a slow Green flash.
•Aim the MINI at the target.
•Place your finger on the trigger.
•Pull the trigger with a smooth
squeezing motion. |
