USING YOUR MARKER

QUICK START UP GUIDE

Before playing with your new SLG™ paintball marker there
are a few important steps to take.

STEP 1. BATTERY INSTALLATION

A. Remove three left hand side grip panel screws with a

3

⁄32” allen key.
B. Open grip panel and install 9V battery into the
connector inside the frame.
C. Close grip panel and tighten the three screws back into
place. When closing the panel observe that no wires get
caught between the frame and the grip panel.

STEP 2. BARREL INSTALLATION

A. Screw on the barrel to the front of the SLG™. Make sure
it threads all the way in and has a snug fit.
B. Attach the barrel sock so that it covers the tip of the
barrel and secure the strap around the back of the SLG™.

STEP 3. LOADER INSTALLATION

A. Press loader into feed neck. Loader should now be held
in with a snug fit. For best performance, use a force
feeding motorized loader.

4

STEP 4. ATTACHING GAS SOURCE

Be sure there are no paintballs loaded in the breech of the SLG.
If the bolt is in the forward position, a ball can be fired when gas
enters the marker.
Screw on a preset air system into the airport located on the
bottom of the grip frame. Be sure the air system is screwed in all
the way into the Airport. If there is a leak while screwing in the air
system or if no gas enters the SLG™ when the air system is
screwed all the way in, consult page 19 in this manual
for pin depressor adjustment.

STEP 5. TURNING ON THE SLG™ AND CHECKING THE VELOCITY

A. Make sure you and everybody around you is wearing
ASTM/CE approved paintball masks.
B. Press and hold the top button located behind the grip
frame until the SLG™ turns on. WARNING: The SLG™ is now LIVE.
Make sure barrel sock is in place and do not point the SLG™
towards anything you don’t intend to shoot.
C. Fill up the loader with .68 caliber paintballs.
D. Shoot the SLG™ over a chronograph to check the velocity.
If adjustment is needed adjust the velocity by turning the
Hyper3™ velocity adjustment screw with a
In (clockwise) will reduce the velocity and out (counter clockwise)
will increase the velocity. After each adjustment
it takes a few shots before the change can be seen on the
chronograph. Never adjust the SLG™ to shoot faster than
300fps or what the field rules/local laws permit.

BUTTONS AND LED LIGHT INDICATOR

There are two buttons and an LED light indicator mounted inside
the frame of the SLG™. These are accessible on the back side of
the frame. The top button is used to turn the SLG™ ON and OFF.
The bottom button is used to turn the eye feature of the SLG™ ON
and OFF. To turn the SLG™ ON press and hold the top button until
the LED light turns on. The eye feature is always on when the SLG™
is turned on, to turn off the eye feature press and hold the bottom
button until the LED light starts blinking Red indicating
the eye feature is turned off.

In normal operation mode the LED light indicator shows you the
following information:

Yellow: Boot up Sequence

Red: No ball detected inside the SLG™, eye is turned on

Green: Ball detected inside the SLG™, eye is turned on

Blinking red: Eye is turned off
Blinking green: Eye blocked. Either the eye is dirty, the
marker is not gassed up, there is bad connection between
the board and the eyes or the battery is low.

SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION MODE

There are three settings that can be altered on the SLG™ circuit
board.

1. Trigger sensitivity

2. ROF (Rate Of Fire)

3. Fire Mode

NOTE: The eye is always activated when you turn the marker on.

DIP switch 1, is used for factory reset/tournament lock. When it's
OFF the gun is always set back to stock settings (semiauto, 15
bps, trigger sensitivity 5).

To change the board settings you must turn ON the factory
settings lock. To do this, turn DIP switch number 1 ON.

Settings 1-3 are changed from a configuration mode.

To change settings 1-3 you will need to activate the configuration
mode. To activate the configuration mode, turn your marker off,
open the three left side grip panel screws with a
set DIP switch 2 to the ON position. Next, turn your marker on.
The 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.

3

⁄32” allen key and

GREEN – TRIGGER SENSITIVITY. VALUES 1 - 20
(factory default 5)

Trigger sensitivity is the amount of time that the trigger has to be
released before the next trigger pull is allowed. In some situations
with too low of a value, the marker may begin to shoot full-auto.
