This is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or death. Eye protection
specifically designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range. Recommend 18 years or older to purchase. Persons under 18 years
must have adult supervision. Read operator manual before use.
All air system service or repairs of any type, including the removal of the regulator
from the cylinder, must be completed by qualified personnel only. Tampering with
this product could result in damage to the unit and potential injury or death to
the user or any person nearby. For more information, contact your local dealer
or Paintball Solutions at 1-800-220-3222. To
regulator, the Piston [3] should be lightly lubricated with silicone-based grease
every three to six months. See your local paintball dealer to complete this service.
Never lubricate any part of your air system with any type of liquid or spray oil.
WARNING: THIS CYLINDER MUST BE HYDROTESTED EVERY FIVE YEARS BY A QUALIFIED RETESTER.

SERVICE & REBUILD PROCEDURES
PRIOR TO DISASSEMBLY, DE-GAS THE AIR SYSTEM COMPLETELY! ALL AIR MUST BE
REMOVED FROM THE SYSTEM OR THE BONNET CANNOT BE REMOVED. ALL REPAIR PARTS
MUST BE CERTIFIED FOR USE WITH THIS AIR SYSTEM OR WARRANTY IS VOID!
Your air tank regulator is completely rebuildable. Repairs can be done by any qualified
technician without the need for special tools.
Never remove the Regulator Body [1] from the tank itself. All internal parts are accessed by
removal of the Bonnet [7] from the Regulator Body [1].
1. To remove the Bonnet [7], first remove the two 08-32 Bonnet Set Screws [16] with a 3/32"
Allen wrench.
2. When the two Bonnet Set Screws [16] are completely removed, unscrew the Bonnet [7].
Thread locking compound was not used, so do not apply heat! If the Bonnet [7] does not easily
unscrew, a 1-7/16" (1.110") collet or a set of soft jaws in a vise can be used to hold the
Bonnet [7].
3. After the Regulator Body [1] and Bonnet [7] have been separated, the Belleville Spring Pack
[2], Piston [3], and Output Pin Valve [5] components can be removed.
4. Replace both O-rings [9, 10] on the Piston [3] with new parts.
5. Before reassembly, lubricate both piston O-rings [9, 10] using a silicone-based grease, such
as Dow 33.
DO NOT USE OIL IN ANY HIGH PRESSURE REGULATOR OR FILL NIPPLE ASSEMBLY!
6. Reinstall the Output Pin Valve [19] and Pin Valve Spring [4] into the Piston [3] and carefully
push the Piston Assembly [17] minus the Belleville Spring Stack [2] into the bore of the Bonnet
[7]. The Piston [3] must be properly seated in the Bonnet [7] before proceeding further.
7. Place the Belleville Spring Stack [2] over the small end of the Piston [3] in the correct order
(Diagram 1).
8. Once Belleville Springs [2] are in place, thread the Bonnet [7] onto the Regulator Body [1].
Do not apply excessive torque when screwing the Bonnet [7] and Regulator Body [1] together.
Secure the Bonnet [7] using the two 08-32 Bonnet Set Screws [16] with a 3/32" hex key.

REACTOR PRESET REGULATOR (REBUILDABLE)
Your Reactor preset Regulator is equipped with the industry standard "QD Style" fill fitting,
allowing your system to be refilled either on or off the marker. Your Reactor regulator system
may be filled with clean, dry either Compressed Air or Nitrogen. There will not be a noticeable
difference in your marker's performance.
Use only properly rated fill fittings or assemblies when refilling your air system. Fill through
the fill fitting only. This regulator is covered by a Lifetime Limited Manufacturers Warranty,
which does not cover O-Rings, abuse, or neglect. For technical support, customer service, or
complete warranty information contact Paintball Solutions at 1-800-220-3222 or visit www.
paintballsolutions.com. DO NOT OVERFILL.
DO NOT EXCEED THE PRESSURE RATING LISTED ON YOUR TANK LABEL!
A high-pressure gauge showing tank pressure is standard with our air system.
As the operator, understand the importance of keeping dirt, oil, and water out of your air
system. It is estimated that 99% of all regulator failures are due to dirt or contamination.
Always keep a cover on the fill nipple when not filling the tank. If using Compressed Air, make
sure the compressor is equipped with WORKING filters and moisture separators.
We recommend filling your air system no faster than 100 PSI/second. Filling your air system
too quickly can cause your fill nipple to fail. Overly fast fills are dangerous to both the
regulator and the tank and can lead to catastrophic failure.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY AIR SYSTEM BE REFILLED
WITH PURE OXYGEN.
If the 1800 PSI safety burst disk vents, there must be sufficient cause. If this happens, we
recommend the following:
• Refer to the service procedures and clean dirt and debris from the regulator.
• Inspect the internal O-Rings [9, 10] for damage or dirt.
• Replace all worn or damaged parts.
Because your air system's preset regulator is factory set to deliver gas at normal pressure, there
is no "setup" or user adjustment required. Your preset regulator system simply screws into your
marker's ASA fitting. It has a "pin valve" type output valve which shuts off the gas delivery
when the power system is removed from the marker.

LOW-PRESSURE SPRING PACK KIT INSTALLATION
BEFORE PROCEEDING, MAKE SURE YOUR AIR SYSTEM HAS BEEN
COMPLETELY DE-GASSED VIA THE OUTPUT PIN VALVE, TO INSURE THAT
NO TRAPPED COMPRESSED GAS IS PRESENT!
The installation of the Low-Pressure Spring Pack requires a 3/32" Allen wrench. Please review
this Air System manual prior to doing any maintenance on the Reactor Regulator.

1. Remove the two Bonnet Set Screws [16] that lock the Bonnet [7] to the Regulator Body [1]
using a 3/32" Allen wrench.
2. Unscrew the Bonnet [7] from the Regulator Body [1] (it has counter-clockwise threads).
3. Being careful not to lose the brass output Pin Valve [19] or the Pin Valve Spring [4], pull the
Piston Assembly [17] out of the Bonnet [7].
4. Remove any factory adjustment shims from the Regulator Body [1] that may be present.
Store them with your original Spring Pack assembly in case you ever wish to reverse the output
pressure to the original setting.
5. Remove the ten HP (High Pressure) Belleville Springs [2] from the Piston Assembly [17], and
replace them with the ten LP (Low-Pressure) Belleville Springs [20] supplied in the Parts Kit. Do
not confuse them, as they look very similar. This will be easier to do if you remove the small
Piston O-Ring [10] first. Note that the Belleville Springs are dish shaped. When installing the LP
Belleville Springs [20], place those on the Piston [3], alternating up and down as shown in the
Belleville Spring Pack Orientation diagram (Diagram 1).
6. Install the new Piston O-Ring [10] supplied in the Kit, and lube the small Piston O-Ring [10]
using a silicone-based grease.
7. Insert the Piston Assembly [17] back into the Regulator Body [1].
8. Insert the Piston Spring [4] and the Pin Valve [19] into the Piston [3].
9. Carefully screw the Bonnet [7] back onto the Regulator Body [1], making sure that the nose of the
brass output Pin Valve [19] is correctly aligned with the small hole on the side of the Bonnet [7].
10. Replace the two locking Bonnet Set Screws [16] using the 3/32" Allen wrench.
NOTE: The Low-Pressure Piston/Spring Pack Assembly in this kit includes Adjustment Shims
[21] which were used to tune this assembly to the 480–500 PSI range. Minor changes to the
output pressure can be made by adding or removing one or two shims between the Regulator
body [1] and the Piston Assembly [17].
