SP-8’S POWER BUTTON LIGHT FLASHES IN VISION MODE BUT WILL NOT FIRE.

— Possible chamber obstruction. Hold the power button down to put the marker into non-Vision

mode. While wearing paintball mask/googles in an area where it is safe to ﬁ re, ﬁ re the marker to clear

any possible chamber obstructions.

— Paint or debris may be blocking the Vision eye from “seeing” the breech. Remove the Vision circuit

board. Carefully clean the infrared emitter and detector with a damp, soft cloth and clean the Vision

ports in the body breech with a cotton swab (see Disassembly section of this manual.)

— Wiring harness may be disconnected. Check to make sure that the wiring harness running from the

solenoid circuit board in the grip frame to the Vision circuit board in the body is plugged in at both

ends, and is not bent, crimped, broken or frayed (See Disassembly section of this manual.)

THE SP-8 IS BREAKING PAINT.

— Battery may be low or dead. Replace with a name brand 9-volt alkaline battery.

— Ball detents may be worn or damaged. Inspect and if necessary replace (See Ball Detent section

of this manual.)

— Barrel to paint match may not be correct. Check the ﬁ t of the paintballs to the barrel (see Paint section

of this manual.) If it is a poor ﬁ t, switch paintballs, barrel, or barrel insert for a better ﬁ t.

— Dwell setting may be too high. Lower the dwell setting in three click increments and retest, or reset to

the optimum dwell value (see the Dwell section of this manual.)

— Vision mode may be turned off. This will be indicated by a double-blink pattern on the power button.

Turn Vision on by pressing the power button.

— Paint or debris may be partially blocking the Vision eye from properly “seeing” the breech. Remove

the Vision circuit board. Carefully clean the infrared emitter and detector with a damp, soft cloth and

clean the Vision ports in the body breech with a cotton swab (see Disassembly section of this manual.)

— Vision reﬂ ector may be damaged or missing. Inside of plastic body covers, on the right hand side is a

reﬂ ective mylar sticker. This sticker must be clean and intact for proper Vision operation.

— Wiring harness may be damaged. Check to make sure that the wiring harness running from the sole-

noid circuit board in the grip frame to the Vision circuit board in the body is plugged in at both ends,

and is not bent, crimped, broken or frayed (See Disassembly section of this manual.)

— Vision board may be damaged from improper installation. Replace Vision board (See Disassembly

section of this manual.)

— Liquid CO

may be entering the regulator. Only use CO

with an anti-siphon tank in the ASA, or a

standard tank placed vertically in a pack with a remote. Alternatively, switch to compressed air.
