GEL BLASTER GBX001 Surge XL Water Blaster Instruction Manual
STEP 1 – HYDRATE YOUR GELLETS® !! IMPORTANT !!
Gellets™ must be submerged in water for at least two hours to fully expand to
size. They also need to have plenty of water to absorb (this is very
important) – you’ll know there was plenty of water if after two hours the
Gellets are still submerged in the water. Failing to completely hydrate
Gellets will cause your Gel Blaster® to seem crappy. Note: Make sure that the
Gellets are prepared in an adequate sized container. Gellets will expand ten
times their original size. Store hydrated Gellets away from the elements and
direct sunlight.
STEP 2 – CHARGE YOUR BLASTER
Charge your blaster via the USB-C port at the bottom of your blaster. The
battery power indicator located on top of your blaster will blink while
charging. When all of the lights are lit and steady, the blaster is fully
charged.
STEP 3 – FILL YOUR HOPPER & DRAIN YOUR GELLETS
Fill your hopper with hydrated Gellets make sure all water is drained from
the hopper before installing on your blaster. If too much water enters through
the feedneck, it can damage your blaster internals.
STEP 4 – INSTALL HOPPER ONTO BLASTER
Remove the feedneck from your SURGE XL and screw it onto the full hopper. Flip
your SURGE XL upside down so that the fins are facing the ground, then slide
the feedneck onto the top rail of the SURGE XL so that the green triang.
IMPORTANT – Make sure you slide the feedneck all the way forward until you
feel and hear a “click”. Failing to do so will cause your SURGE XL to misfire.
STEP 5 – OPTIONAL: ADJUST VELOOCITY
To adjust the velocity, first remove the butt stock by pressing the green
button below it and sliding the buttstock down and off. Use the green Velocity
Adjustment Tool provided by pressing it onto the green adjustment knob located
at the back of the blaster. Turn it counter-clockwise to bring your blaster
down to as low as 170fps.
IMPORTANT – DO NOT OVER TORQUE THE ADJUSTMENT KNOB!
STEP 6 – PROTECT YOUR EYES!
Put on your provided eye protection when using your Gel Blaster SURGE XL. Make
sure that others within firing distance are wearing eye protection too!
Everyone! Eye protection! Wear it!

FAQ & QUICK FIXES
Q: My hopper & feedneck keep sliding off and won’t feed the Gellets into my Gel Blaster®?
A: Please make sure your feedneck is oriented correctly – the green triangles of your blaster and feedneck should be aligned. If installed correctly, the hopper and feedneck will click & lock in place.
Q: My Gellets aren’t shooting correctly and are rolling out of my Gel Blaster’s barrel?
A: The Gellets might not be fully hydrated. To make sure your Gellets are fully hydrated, please allow your Gellets to be submerged in water for a minimum of two hours before playing.
Q: My Gel Blaster® seems jammed?
A: Your Gel Blaster® will rarely get jammed, but if this is the case, please make sure to turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. Now proceed to check the tip and barrel of the Gel Blaster. If debris is found in your Gel Blaster, remove your hopper & feedneck and spray canned air directly into the barrel forcing the debris to come out of the tip of the blaster. If the debris is still stuck, use a pipe cleaner to force the remainder out of the tip of the blaster. Never push the debris from the tip/front of the Gel Blaster towards the back, that will only jam your Gel Blaster more.
