Introduction:
Congratulations and Thank You for purchasing The Quest Paintball marker. In this manual you will find useful information for setting up, adjusting, and maintaining your The Quest paintball marker. Should you have any additional questions feel free to give us a call at the number found at the end of this manual.
First Endeavor Paintball, Inc. has made every effort to make sure your experiences with The Quest are trouble free and enjoyable. A lot of designing and testing has gone into the creation of The Quest paintball marker so that you will never have to choose another marker again. Period.
HP & LP Regulators
The Quest is equipped with a high pressure (HPR) and a low pressure (LPR) regulator. The HPR can be found on the marker as the vertical grip just in front of the trigger guard. The HPR is used to adjust the velocity of the paintball exiting the marker and is set between 210-240 psi. The LPR can be found just under the area where the barrel inserts into the marker in a horizontal position. The LPR is set to cycle the bolt inside the marker and is set between 80-100 psi.
Setting the regulators – In order to set your The Quest marker to optimal setting please follow the following instructions.
1) Turn the HPR in (clockwise) about 3 threads past flush on the bottom of the regulator housing.
2) Turn the LPR regulator in (clockwise) until the marker begins to fire and stop.
3) After the marker starts to fire, turn the LPR 1/4 - 1/2 a turn further in and leave alone.
4) Take the marker to a chronograph and turn the HPR in for an increase in velocity or out for a decrease in velocity to achieve 300 fps.
Care & Maintenance:
The Quest paintball marker has been designed to need little care and maintenance. The main thing to check is the bolt. After every day of play we recommend that you wipe the current Dow 55 grease off of the bolt and re-apply fresh Dow 55 grease. Observe the o-rings and look for any undue wear or tears, replacing them as necessary. Should a leak occur within the marker try replacing the outer bolt o-rings first then moving to the pin o-rings. If
those do not cure the leak check that the solenoid is properly mounted or that the LPR is not over pressurizing it. After a few days of play check and re-grease the HPR and LPR pistons by unscrewing the caps on each and removing the pistons themselves. Check to see if there is any debris inside the chambers that might cause undue wear to the side of the piston and
piston wall.

At the end of the day wipe down all paint from the marker and, if necessary, clean the eyes by removing the eye covers and eyes, and wiping the area down with a q-tip. If a breach break occurs remove the bolt and pin from the marker, clean as needed, and insert a battle swab through the body to clean the internals.
Trigger Adjustment:
The Quest is equipped with a triple adjustable trigger. The firing point, stopping point, and magnetic return can all be adjusted as follow.
Firing point – Adjust the firing point by inserting a 1/16” allen wrench into the bottom trigger adjustment screw seen in the trigger. To shorten the firing point, turn the screw clockwise. To lengthen the firing point, turn the screw counter-clockwise.
Stopping point – Adjust the stopping point by inserting a 1/16” allen wrench into the middle trigger adjustment screw seen in the trigger. To shorten the stopping point, turn the screw clockwise. To lengthen the stopping point, turn the screw counter-clockwise.
Magnetic return – Adjust the magnetic return by inserting a 1/16” allen wrench into the upper trigger adjustment screw seen in the vertical position on the trigger. To diminish the return, turn the screw clockwise. Tostrengthen the return, turn the screw counter-clockwise.
Electronics & Operation:
Power to the marker can be turned ON/OFF by pressing the Power Button located on the rear of the grip frame. To turn the marker on, press the Power Button. When first powered on, the LED will flash GREEN rapidly to indicate sufficient battery power. At power on, when the battery needs to be replaced the LED will flash RED rapidly. To turn the marker off, press and hold the Power Button for 1 second. The LED will turn off indicating that the marker has been powered off.
Tournament Lock – is enabled by setting the lower dipswitch to the right. It can be toggled between OFF/ON. OFF to the left, ON to the right. Tournament Lock turned ON does not allow the user to Program the marker through the trigger.
Anti-Chop Eye (ACE) – The Quest is equipped with a break beam ACE. When the marker is first powered on, the ACE is enabled. The ACE status can be enabled/disabled by pressing the Power Button for 1/2 a second until a BLUE LED appears, then letting go. Under normal operation a solid RED LED indicates the ACE is enabled and there is no ball in the breach. A solid GREEN LED indicates the ACE is enabled and there is a ball in the breech. The ACE will automatically shut off if there is an obstruction in the breach for 4
consecutive shots, indicated by a blinking RED LED. While the ACE is blinking RED the marker is capped at 12 bps.
good work
