AIR SUPPLY The M2 should be operated using air/nitrogen gas only. This air
needs to be supplied at a regulated pressure of no more than 850 psi.
GASSING UP YOUR M2 Screw in your air system to the Airport and rotate the side
lever counter clockwise until the internal stop is reached.
TURNING ON YOUR M2 Power up M2 marker. Note: Be sure to fully charge your M2
marker before first use. To power on your M2 marker depress and hold the
joystick located on the back strap of the grip frame, for 2 seconds. The LED
will illuminate and the boot up screen will be displayed on the OLED. The eye
system is automatically powered on during boot up. To turn the eyes on or off,
press and hold the joystick down for 2 seconds.
Blue: Boot sequence Red: Breech is clear, no ball (eyes on) Green: Ball in
breech, ready to fire (eyes on) Blinking Red: Eyes are off Blinking Green: Eye
failure
HOPPER To get the best performance out of your M2, it is recommended that you
use a motorized loader. Preferably, the R-2TM Loader.
· A LOW BATTERY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO POWER BOTH THE ACE EYE AND THE TRIGGER
SWITCH, CAUSING ACE EYE FAILURE.
· IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO POWER THE SOLENOID CORRECTLY.
THIS WILL AFFECT THE M2’S VELOCITY, CAUSING IT TO BECOME INCONSISTENT AND/OR
LOW.
WWW.DYEPAINTBALL.COM
QUICK REFERENCE
BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS The M2 marker uses a rechargeable battery.
To access the M2’s charging port open the dust cover labeled USB on the upper
left side of the grip. Lift and rotate the cover out of the way.
In order charge your M2 marker, simply use any standard micro USB cable and
power supply. A micro USB cable is provided with the marker.
Plug the full size USB end of the cable into any standard power supply adapter
(car charger, wall charger, computer, etc.) See page 12 in manual for complete
battery detail.
LED LIGHT COLOR INDEX-CHARGING Blinking Blue: Charging up to 95% Blinking
Green: Charging up to 95% – 99% Solid Green: 100% charged
BASIC VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT The velocity is CONTROLLED through the Hyper5TM
regulator. The Hyper5TM is preset from the factory at approximately 140 psi.
This pressure setting should have the marker shooting at about 285fps. Your
paint-to-barrel fit will also have a noticeable effect on your velocity.
You can adjust your velocity through the Hyper5TM regulator, located in the
fore grip. To adjust the velocity, insert a 3/16″ Allen wrench into the bottom
of the fore grip. Turning the Allen wrench clockwise, or in, will lower the
output pressure, decreasing the velocity. Turning the adjustment screw
counterclockwise, or out, will raise the output pressure, increasing the
velocity.
LPR – LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR The LPR is factory set at approximately 65 psi
and should need no adjustment out of the box. See page 19 for detailed
instructions on fine tuning. If the LPR is improperly adjusted, you could
dramatically hinder the performance or prevent the marker from functioning at
all.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the LPR’s
output pressure. Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will
raise the LPR’s output pressure.

ADJUSTING YOUR REACH
TRIGGER
The trigger’s travel and reach angle are fully adjustable so that you can
fine-tune the trigger to your preference. You do not need to remove the frame
or grip from the gun in order to make an adjustment to the trigger. There are
two adjustment screws located on the left side of the Ultralite frame and one
adjustment screw behind the trigger. The two screws on the side of the frame
adjust the travel of the trigger. The one located behind the trigger will
adjust the magnet’s strength.
2 1 3
TO ADJUST TRIGGER TRAVEL
Use a 5/ 64″ Allen wrench to make the desired adjustments. · The bottom screw
(1) controls the forward travel. Screwing it in will shorten the trigger’s
length of pull.
NOTE: IF THIS SCREW IS ADJUSTED TOO FAR, THE SWITCH WILL BE HELD DOWN AT ALL
TIMES AND THE MARKER WILL NOT FIRE.
· The top screw (2) controls the over travel. By turning this screw you can
adjust how far the trigger will travel after it reaches the firing point.
NOTE: IF THIS SCREW IS ADJUSTED TOO FAR, THE TRIGGER WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TRAVEL FAR ENOUGH TO DEPRESS THE SWITCH AND FIRE THE MARKER.
TO ADJUST MAGNET STRENGTH · Use a 5/ 64″ Allen wrench to make the desired
adjustment. Insert the Allen wrench
through the hole behind the trigger blade (3). · To make the trigger pull
stronger, turn the Allen wrench clockwise or in. · To make the trigger pull
weaker, turn the Allen wrench counterclockwise or out.

FUSETM BOLT ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE
3
FUSETM BOLT OPERATION
To achieve top performance from your M2, it is important to understand the
basic operation of the M2’s patented FUSETM bolt system.
This design consists of three sleeves threaded together to capture the only moving part of the system, the bolt.
The FUSETM Bolt has six components:
1 Cylinder 2 Bolt Sail 3 Bolt 4 Top Hat 5 Manifold 6 Tool-less Back Cap
BACK POSITION MID POSITION
Air is supplied to the bolt at two
points. A high-pressure supply of
air is routed to the back of the bolt
FORWARD POSITION
into the shot chamber. This air
source is responsible for propelling the ball. Low-pressure air is supplied from the LPR to
the solenoid. From the solenoid, the air is routed through two small holes to the section
of the bolt referred to as the cylinder.
When the M2 is aired up, air is transferred by the solenoid to the front of the cylinder. This air pushes against the bolt sail and the bolt is held in the back position. When the bolt is held back, the 014 O-ring in the top hat seals around the bolt and contains the air in the shot chamber. When the marker is fired, the micro switch is pressed, activating the solenoid and switching the flow of air from the front of the cylinder
WWW.DYEPAINTBALL.COM
4
5
6
to the rear of the cylinder. Air that enters the rear of the cylinder pushes
on the bolt sail, moving the bolt forward. The air in the front of the
cylinder is vented out of the marker.
As the bolt moves forward, the tapered shelf passes through the top hat. Once
the bolt’s shelf can no longer seal against the 014 O-ring, the air contained
in the shot chamber is released. The air passes through the venturi ports in
the bolt and out the front of the bolt to propel the ball. When the bolt is in
the forward position, the inside bolt stem O-ring prevents the flow of air
from continuously flowing through the marker when the bolt is forward. This
helps the marker shoot much more efficiently.
NOTE: LOW OR ERRATIC VELOCITY MAY BE DUE TO A LOW BATTERY NOT SUPPLYING AMPLE
ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THE SOLENOID. IN THIS CASE, CHARGE THE BATTERY.
WHEN SERVICING YOUR MARKER: · MAKE SURE YOUR HOPPER IS REMOVED FROM THE M2. ·
MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO PAINTBALLS IN THE BREACH OF THE M2. · ALWAYS REMOVE THE
AIR SUPPLY AND RELIEVE ALL GAS PRESSURE IN THE
M2 BEFORE DISASSEMBLY. · WHEN USING THE MARKER IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 50°
FAHRENHEIT IT MAY
BE NECESSARY TO LUBE THE FUSETM BOLT MORE FREQUENTLY. · THE M2 CAN HOLD A
SMALL RESIDUAL CHARGE OF GAS, AFTER THE AIR
SUPPLY HAS BEEN REMOVED. ALWAYS DISCHARGE THE MARKER IN A SAFE DIRECTION TO
RELIEVE THIS RESIDUAL GAS PRESSURE.
16
BOLT MAINTENANCE Regular FuseTM bolt maintenance is vital to the performance
of the M2. If the FuseTM bolt is not kept well greased and the O-rings in good
shape, the performance of the M2 will be greatly hindered. The M2 software
tracks how many shots the marker has fired, and will alert you when service is
due. A red service icon will flash over the playing screen. See service system
on page 8 for more info.
USE DYE SLICK LUBE TO GREASE THE M2 FUSETM BOLT AFTER EVERY 4,000 TO 8,000
SHOTS, DEPENDING ON PLAYING CONDITIONS. CHECK CONDITION OF O-RINGS. BE SURE
THE FUSE BOLT CAN MOVE BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT EXCESSIVE FORCE.
To remove the bolt, grab the bolt back cap with your right hand. Push the bolt
release button, located on the left side of the bolt back cap, with your
thumb. With the bolt release button depressed pull firmly back on the bolt.
BEFORE INSTALLING THE BOLT INTO THE MARKER, BE SURE ALL BOLT COMPONENTS ARE
SCREWED TOGETHER SNUGLY. If you do not grease the bolt, you will run the risk
of damaging O-rings. This will create excessive friction and drag on the bolt,
ultimately resulting in breaking the bolt. When greasing the M2 FuseTM bolt,
pay special attention to all O-rings that are on the bolt and that ride on a
surface of the bolt. The first seven O-rings listed on the following page
should be greased during maintenance.

BASIC VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
ADJUSTMENTS The Hyper5 regulator controls your velocity. It is pre-set at
approximately 140 psi. This will enable your gun to shoot about 285 FPS. The
M2’s velocity will be affected by paint size, weather conditions, altitude and
other factors. To adjust your velocity use a 3/16″ Allen wrench and insert it
into the bottom of the fore grip where the Hyper5 reg is located. To lower the
velocity turn the Allen wrench clockwise (inward), this will decrease the
pressure. To raise the velocity turn the Allen wrench counter clockwise
(outward) this will increase the pressure. Each 1/2 turn will change the
Hyper5 reg output Pressure by approximately 15PSI.
The M2 is equipped with an internal pressure sensor for the Hyper5. You are
able to view your Hyper5 reg pressure at any time on the OLED screen. The
Pressure readings can be viewed by entering into the Data Settings Menu and
scrolling to the Pressure Gauge Screen (see page 7), or while in the Playing
Screen you can press the joystick left and the Systems Check screen will
appear for 10 seconds and display your M2’s PSI reading, along with other
information about the M2’s operating system (see page 4).

LPR (LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR) ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
LPR ASSEMBLY, CLEANING, TESTING AND CHANGING SEALS The Low-Pressure Regulator
(LPR) is located at the front of the M2 under the barrel. The function of the
LPR is to lower the air pressure supplied to the marker by the Hyper5TM before
it reaches the solenoid. This air pressure is used to cycle the bolt forward
and back.
LPR ADJUSTMENT The LPR is pre-set at approximately 65 PSI. Generally there is
no reason to adjust the Factory LPR setting.
Too low of pressure will cause the bolt to not fully cycle, move sluggishly,
or not at all. If you experience dramatic velocity increase during rapid fire,
the LPR may be adjusted too low.
Too high of pressure will cause excess kick, potentially increase ball
breakage, and cause fatigue on the bolt components.
You can fine-tune your M2 to its minimum cycle pressure. This will reduce the
amount of force of the bolt hitting the ball (reducing ball breaks) and help
with efficiency.
To adjust the LPR pressure, insert a 3/16″ Allen wrench into to LPR Access
hole below the barrel. Turn the wrench clockwise (inward) to lower the
Pressure, and Counterclockwise (outward) to raise the pressure. Each 1/2 turn
will change the LPR’s output Pressure by approximately 10 psi.
NOTE: APPLYING EXCESSIVE TORQUE TO THE SEAT RETAINER WILL DAMAGE THE LPR SEAT.
WHEN SERVICING YOUR MARKER: · MAKE SURE YOUR HOPPER IS REMOVED FROM THE M2. ·
MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO PAINTBALLS IN THE BREACH OF THE M2. · ALWAYS REMOVE THE
AIR SUPPLY AND RELIEVE ALL GAS PRESSURE IN THE
M2 BEFORE DISASSEMBLY.

SHIFTPORT ASA The M2 comes equipped with a the ShiftPort ASA attached to the
bottom of the frame. To turn on the gas supply, rotate the side lever counter
clockwise until the internal stop is reached. To turn off the gas supply,
rotate the side lever clockwise until the other stop is reached. As you rotate
the side lever past the mid point, the residual gas between the Hyper5TM and
the ShiftPort ASA will vent.
SHIFTPORT ASA LENGTH ADJUSTMENT The ShiftPort can be adjusted for optimal
comfort. There is a horizontal locking screw located on the bottom right side
of the Ultralite frame. It can be accessed with a 1/ 8″ Allen wrench through a
hole in the grip panel. To unlock the ShiftPort ASA for adjustment turn the
locking screw counterclockwise one full turn. Slide the airport back or forth
to the desired location. To lock the airport in place turn the locking screw
clockwise until the airport is firmly secured in place. The ShiftPort ASA has
a forward and rearward travel stop. Do not remove these stops or move the
airport past its intended range of travel.

Sticky grips from the frame to expose the rear mounting screw. Using a 3 / 32″
Allen wrench, remove back frame screw. Unscrew front frame screw until the
frame can drop free of the M2 body. The M2 unitizes a positive force contact
pad to link the body and frame electrical components together. There are no
wires to disconnect when removing the frame from the Body.
NOTE: BE SURE THAT THE FRAME AND TRIGGER ASSEMBLY ARE KEPT CLEAN.
IF THERE IS EXCESS DIRT OR PAINT BUILD UP AROUND THE TRIGGER, THE
TRIGGER WILL NO LONGER MOVE FREELY. IN ADDITION, PAINT AND DIRT CAN
CAUSE THE MICRO SWITCH TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY OR FAIL.
WWW.DYEPAINTBALL.COM
23
ANTI CHOP EYES The Anti Chop Eye (ACE) system will help prevent the M2 from
chopping paint by preventing the marker from firing until a ball is fully
seated in front of the bolt. The eyes use a light beam across the breech. In
order for the marker to fire with the eyes turned on, the signal between the
two eyes must be broken (a paintball in the breach). After every shot, before
the next ball drops in the breech, the eye transmitter and receiver must see
each other. If there is a malfunction, the LED’s on the board will start
blinking green. This means that the eyes do not see each other. If this is the
case, there are normally two reasons. Either there is dirt, paint or grease
blocking the beam, or the battery is so low there is not enough power to
create a strong enough light beam.
Turning anti chops eyes off or on: The eye system is automatically powered on
during boot up. To turn the eyes on or off, press and hold the joystick down
for 2 seconds. The LED light will begin flashing red when eyes are off.
To turn the eyes back on, press and hold the joystick down for 2 seconds until
the LED turns either red or green.
LED LIGHT COLOR INDEX Red: Breech is clear, no ball (eyes on) Green: Ball in
breech, ready to fire (eyes on) Blinking Red: Eyes are off Blinking Green: Eye
failure
NOTE: IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, THE MARKER MAY ACT AS IF THE EYES ARE DIRTY OR
NOT FIRE AT ALL. IN THIS CASE, CHARGE BATTERY.
SELF CLEANING EYE PIPE The M2 is equipped with a patented self-cleaning eye
pipe feature. There is a clear polycarbonate sleeve mounted inside the breech
of the gun covering the eyes. When the bolt tip O-ring passes through the eye
pipe, it sweeps off any dirt, grease or paint that could be blocking the eyes.
Normally it is enough to just fire the M2 to clean anything blocking the eyes.
If this does not clear the blockage use a swab to clean the inside of the
breech.
For a more thorough cleaning, pull the eye pipe with the ball detents out the
front of the breech. With the eye pipe out use a swab to clean the breech.
This should be enough to clean the eye system.
EYE PIPE ANTI CHOP EYES/ BALL DETENTS
CHANGING BALL
DETENTS The ball detent system is clipped to the outside of the eye pipe. The
ball detent system needs little or no maintenance. The detents should easily
flex out of the way with little force, such as a paintball moving past. If you
are experiencing double feeding or chopping, check the condition of your ball
detents with your finger to make sure they are not broken, stuck in the up or
down position, and that they move in and out of the breech freely. If
excessive broken paint or dirt has jammed your ball detents, remove the eye
pipe/detent system from the front of the M2 and unclip the detents for a
thorough cleaning. Reinstall the detents, and eye pipe after you have
sufficiently cleaned the detents and breech.
Be careful not to over-flex the detents when handling them. Excessive flexing
could break or damage the detents.
NOTE: TAKE CARE WHEN REPLACING THE EYE PIPE. BE CAREFUL THAT THE
DETENT CLIP IS FULLY SEATED ONTO THE EYE PIPE.

AIR LEAKS
AIR LEAKING FROM THE BACK OF AIRPORT · Check the O-ring on the Air system. If
needed change the O-ring and try again. The O-ring normally used is 015 but
some manufacturers might use a different size. Consult the manual of the air
system you are using.
AIR LEAKING BETWEEN FRAME & AIRPORT · Make sure airport locking screw is tight
AIR LEAKING FROM THE HYPER5TM REGULATOR · First locate the position of the
leak. · For disassembly instructions consult the technical section under
Hyper5TM regulator (see page 18). · If the leak is coming from the bottom of
the regulator you will need to disassemble the regulator and change the 010
O-ring and the seat on the brass seat retainer mounted inside the Hyper5TM
regulator. · If the leak comes from the small hole in the middle of the
regulator there are three possible O-rings causing the problem, the 015 O-ring
on the piston, the 008 yellow O-ring inside the regulator cartridge, and the
upper 015 red o-ring on the Regulator cartridge. · If the leak is from the top
of the regulator, the leak should be repaired by a trained Tech.
AIR LEAKING BETWEEN BODY AND FRAME · Leak between the body and the frame can
be caused by a couple of things. · First pull out the Bolt kit and change the
015 sail O-ring and the rear 020 O-ring on the outside of the cylinder, and
the 020 O-ring on the outside of the top hat. · Check to see if the LPR is
leaking. You may need to replace the 010 O-ring on the brass reg adjuster, or
replace the lower 013 O-rings on the LPR cartridge. (See page 19). · The LPR
may be supplying the solenoid with too much
WWW.DYEPAINTBALL.COM
pressure. Make sure the LPR and the Hyper5TM are set correctly. · If leak is
coming from one of the blocked holes remove the screw, apply some thread
sealant and re-attach screw to the body. If the solenoid is leaking, remove
the solenoid by unscrewing the two screws mounting it down. Apply some lube to
the gasket underneath the solenoid and reassemble making sure that the
solenoid is well tightened into the body. · LPR or Hyper5TM may be supplying
too low of air pressure. Make sure the LPR and Hyper5TM are set correctly.
(see page 7). · Any miss alignment between the frame and body will result in
the HP air passage union seal to leak. Inspect the condition of the 013-BN90
green seal. Make sure the frame mounting screws are securely tightened.
AIR LEAKING FROM BACK OF THE M2 · Check that the bolt kit is fully locked into
