Battery - There are 2 types of battery chargers for the 9.6 volt charger. The first type is a
Java Rapid Car Charger, it will approximatley take 1 and a half hours to fully charge it. The other type is the
Java Standard Indoor 110V A/C Charger, for this one it will take approximatley 12-14 hours to fully charge it. If you use any other unspecified
battery or charger it can cause damage to the
circuit board. A fully charger battery will provide about 8000-12000 shots in normal useage. It won't be nessacry to fully drain the battery before charging, so you can charge the battery whenever you want or need to. The more energy left in the battery, the sooner it will fully charge. Before charging make sure the marker is off.
Best Use - It is recommended that your charge the battery prior to use if you leave the battery unused for over a week. You will expect 700-1000 recharge cycles untill you will need a new battery This can varey on the type of use. ALWAYS remove your air tank before any diassembly of your marker. Only remove your valve body with a long soft-tipped object, if you use something hard it it damage your valve body and cause air leaks. Air leaks are useally cause by valve bodsy damages or cup seals.
General Maintence - Only clean the outside of your
Spyder trigger frame, NEVER submerge the Spyder trigger frame in any type of liquid for any reason. The
circuit board or the electronics may become damaged or destroyed. Make sure you ALWAYS use the
proper tool to remove screws and other componets from your Spyder trigger frame. Also there is a self-monitoring device that will shut down your marker after a slight resting period to help save your battery engery.
Mode Setting - Your Spyder trigger frame is equipped with a "LOCK" function
(#JE30B), its a short circuit plug located inside your trigger frame. When this plug is pulled off your gun will now only be semi-auto and it cannot be adjusted untill your put the plug back on.
