Turning the Marker on

Charging the Marker

To turn the marker on, hold the Power/ENTR button until the home screen (fig 1.)
appears on the display in the left hand side of the grip. At this point the marker
is powered on and ready to fire.

The battery level is displayed in the top left corner of the home screen (fig 3.);
when this gets low (fig 4. (a,b & c ) you should recharge the marker with the provided charger.

Turning the Marker off

You may also charge the marker from any USB host (such as laptop computer,
etc.) although the charge rate will be slower.

To turn the marker off, hold the Power/ENTR button to enter the menu, and
then push the Power/ENTR option again on the first item in the Main Menu,
“Power Off.”(fig 2.) The marker will shut down when this function is selected.

The dedicated wall charger typically takes about 60-90 minutes to fully charge
a low battery; other USB devices will only fully charge the marker in about 6
hours.

To Gas up the Marker
The CREED™ comes equipped with an ON/OFF/PURGE ASA attached to the
bottom of the frame.

fig 2.

To turn on the gas supply, twist the ON/OFF knob clockwise, all the way in. To
turn off the gas supply, twist the ON/OFF knob counterclockwise, all the way
out.
As you turn the knob out, the residual gas between the HPR and the ON/OFF
airport is vented. Always fire off to empty marker once degassed, this can be
done by holding the trigger in for more than 1 second.

Problem:
Solution:

Cause:

Velocity too low
Check your HPR pressure is not too high, turn all the way in then turn
it out one and a quarter turns.
LPR pressure set too low.
Front dwell too low.

Problem:
Solution:

Cause:

Velocity spiking
LPR pressure set too low.
Front dwell too low.
HPR needs cleaning and servicing.
The HPR is set too high.

Problem: Leaks from the bottom of the HPR
Solution: O-rings 2 off 200-801 ni70 and or the 3 off 200-016 ni70 (change and

put a small amount of grease on them before reassembling)

Problems & Solutions

Problem:
Cause:

Bolt not cycling
Pin not been pushed in properly pull out and push back in.

Problem: Air leaks from the back of the valve body or back of the marker
Solution: This may be caused by the 200-013 ni70 o-ring or the 200-611 ni70
o-ring being damaged. You can test for this by taking the LPR pressure

Problem:
Solution: Trigger not adjusted correctly (adjust trigger until it operates the
micro switch)
The wires inside may have become between the micro switch and the
trigger (tuck wires away from the switch)
The solenoid plug may have come loose (push the plug in)
HPR regulator not set correctly (adjust)
LPR not set correctly (adjust)
Battery low (charge marker)
Solenoid not working (replace solenoid)
Board gone down (replace)

the o-rings. Put a small amount of grease on the valve body when
reassembling the valve and be careful not to damage the
o-rings when putting the valve body back into the marker.
Problem:
Cause:

This will be caused by the top feed not being screwed on tight enough

Problem: Air coming from the elbows
Solution: This is caused when the elbows have not been screwed down enough;
tighten them up with a spanner until the leaks have sealed
Problem: Air coming from the ASA
Solution: Air Coming from the ASA 200-015 ni70 bottle o-ring which are
attached on the bottle itself.
The 200-004 ni70 o-ring situated on the inside of the ASA could be
damaged, replace o-ring.
The two holes that let the air through are very close. Make sure there
is no damage on the face between these two holes as this can cause a
small leak.

VAN-ARV-CREED-QS-V1.02-26.0.2009

Problem: Leak from the front of the LPR
Solution: Change piston o-ring 200-012 ni70
Problem: Leak from the transfer LPR line
Solution:
Check pipe for splits or damage especially around the barbs
To start from scratch with the LPR & HPR
Tip:

As a general rule of the thumb, start with the HPR adjuster fully in, then
wind the HPR adjuster out by 1 - 1 1/3 turns.
For the LPR adjuster, start with it fully out and then wind in while
firing the marker until it cycles, then adjust to get desired velocity
over a chronograph.
If it sounds gassy in cycle, it could be that the LPR is too low or the dwell
setting is to high, this will change as your marker beds in so will require
readjustment to maintain.
