Should I overtighten the set screws?

DO NOT overtighten the set screws. Tighten them carefully by hand with the allen wrench. The screws must touch the diode, but not damage it.

2-1-2

How do I install the laser correctly to avoid damage?

Press the laser housing straight into the muzzle until it stops, then turn to tighten.
The O-ring must be completely inside the muzzle.

Performance Issues

Is there enough CO2 in your Tank?

The simplest way to see if there is enough CO2 in your tank is to weigh it. Weigh the tank using the procedure shown on pages 13-14 of the user manual, and see the table below.

The following is a table with the correct weight of an empty and full CO2 Tank:

Tank TypeEmptyFull
Paintball 12oz540g913g
Paintball 20oz854g1420g
Paintball 24oz956g1700g
Soda Maker 3oz268g362g
Soda Maker 14oz807g1258g
90 gram419g508g

*Please believe this data. When your CO2 tank is completely depleted, it will still have some CO2 vapor inside, but this will not be enough to fill your CoolFire Trainer for satisfactory training. Simply switch to a new CO2 tank and keep training! 

3-1

Did this resolve your issue?

Yes? Great! Make sure to refill/replace your tank to continue training without interruption.

No? Continue to the next question.

Is your Barrel filling with at least *3 grams of CO2?

Your CoolFire Trainer should fill with at least 3 grams of CO2. To find out if it is, follow the procedure in this video.
*The amount of CO2 per fill will vary with barrel length, barrel diameter, and use of capacity extenders (Rapid Fill Adapter/Extend-a-Shot).

3-2

Did this resolve your issue?

Is your CO2 Fill Device (and the black knob) fully tightened down?

The CO2 Fill Device activates the flow of CO2. If your CO2 Fill Device features a black knob, ensure it is fully tightened down. If your CO2 Fill Device doesn’t feature a black knob, ensure it is fully tightened down.

3-3

Did this resolve your issue?

Does your CO2 Tank feel warm when you touch it with your hand?

The ideal temperature range is from 70°F (19 °C ) when the tank is full towards 86 °F (30 °C) as you deplete the CO2 content. This temperature results in the best pressure, which gives the best fill for the most shots. See this video for an explanation.

3-4

Did this resolve your issue?

Is the Striker Tip in good shape?

To find out how, see page 9 of the user manual, or watch this video

3-5

Did this resolve your issue?

Are the pistol’s rails sufficiently lubricated?

An under-lubricated pistol will have excessive friction. Ensure that your pistol is lubricated before using the CoolFire Trainer.

3-6

Is anything touching the slide while you’re shooting?

External friction can inhibit slide movement - for example, the shooter’s thumbs. An over-tightened weaponlight on the accessory rail can cause the dustcover to bend and grip the slide. Make sure there is nothing inhibiting the slide from moving before using the CoolFire Trainer.
