WARNING

Turning the Marker on

To turn the marker on, hold the Power/ENTR button until the home screen (g 1.)

appears on the display in the left hand side of the grip. At this point the marker

is powered on and ready to re.

Turning the Marker o

To turn the marker o, hold the Power/ENTR button to enter the menu, and

then push the Power/ENTR option again on the rst item in the Main Menu,

“Power O.”(g 2.) The marker will shut down when this function is selected.

QUICK START

Charging the Marker

The battery level is displayed in the top left corner of the home screen (g 3.);

when this gets low (g 4. (a,b & c ) you should recharge the marker with the pro-

vided charger.

You may also charge the marker from any USB host (such as laptop computer,

etc.) although the charge rate will be slower.

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.

To turn on the gas supply, twist the ON/OFF knob clockwise, all the way in. To

turn o 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 re o to empty marker once degassed, this can be

done by holding the trigger in for more than 1 second.

OLED & BASIC MENU

The OLED Display

The marker incorporates a full-colour Organic LED (OLED) display, providing an

instant visual indication of the marker’s status and an easy means of adjusting

the marker’s settings. When the marker is turned on, and during normal use,

the home screen is visible on the display. The home screen displays several

items of useful information; notably the battery level, current re mode, and

eye status indicator. The battery level indicator also shows when the marker is

being charged.

Using the Menus

Settings and information are available through an easy to use menu tree, mak-

ing use of the full colour screen built into the marker. To enter the menus, hold

the Power/ENTR button for a second. Once in the menu, navigate using the

Up and Down buttons, and select options with the Power/ENTR button. If you

need to change a setting a long way from its current setting, hold down the Up

or Down button for a while and the button will autorepeat, saving you from

continuous button pushing. Some options enter submenus; to get out of the

menus scroll to the “Back” option and select it. To exit the menus and return to

the home screen, scroll to the “Exit Menu” option in the main menu.

When the tournament lock is engaged, some functions cannot be selected;

these are marked with a padlock symbol. To access these functions, turn o the

tournament lock (see below.)

Tournament Lock

The marker features a tournament lock function which allows certain settings,

which could aect how the marker res, to be disabled. This ensures that once

a marker has been set up within the rules of a tournament, it cannot be modi-

ed to increase velocity, rate of re, or engage enhanced re modes, without

the use of tools.

To change the setting of the tournament lock, insert a pointed object such as a

paper clip or small allen key through the hole below the USB port. A “Tourney

Lock” menu will appear on the screen, which allows you to turn the lock on or

o. Conrm your selection with the Power/ENTR button.

To turn eyes o & on

The Marker default settings automatically turn the eyes on, to switch o hold

the top button/UP until you see a blue line in a semi circle on display (g 5a.)

To turn back on press top button/UP until 2 red semi circles are displayed

(g 5b.), note if you move the bolt forward a green dot will appear indicating a

ball in the breach (g 5c.).

time then re the marker to see if your change is as desired (g 6b.).

LPR (low pressure regulator) ADJUSTMENT

The LPR is adjustable from 0- 120psi and is factory set to 90psi.

To adjust the pressure DOWN turn the adjuster ANTI CLOCKWISE 1⁄4 turn at a

time then re the marker to see if your change is as desired (g 6a.).

Problems & Solutions

Problems and Solutions

Problem: The creed will not turn on

Solution: Check battery is plugged in correctly and it has been charged the

board may be faulty.

(Go to vanguardpaintball.com support section or email tech@vanguardpaintball.com

if the problem persists)

Problem: There are leaks coming from the solenoid

Solution: Check the rammer sail o-ring 009.

Check the gasket o-rings.

Cause: The LPR 15 x2 o-rings may be damaged change them both and the

Schrader could be failing.

The solenoid may be damaged.

Problem: Leaks down the barrel

Solution: Poppet valve may be dirty or damaged.

200-010 ni70 o-ring could be damaged.

The front o-ring 200-016 ni70 could be damaged.

Problem: Leaks from the back of the valve assembly

Cause: 200-008 ni70 o-ring may be damaged.

Problem: Bolt sticks forward

Cause: LPR pressure is too low.

Ramer sail o-ring 200-011 ni70 is damaged.

The internal 200-611 ni70 o-ring is damaged.

The Solenoid is damaged.

Input pressure from the HPR is too low.

Problem: Velocity too low

Solution: Check your HPR pressure is not too high, turn all the way in then turn

it out one and a quarter turns.

Cause: LPR pressure set too low.

Front dwell too low.

Problem: Velocity spiking

Solution: LPR pressure set too low.

Front dwell too low.

HPR needs cleaning and servicing.

The HPR is set too high.

LPR needs cleaning and servicing.

Cause: Battery low.

O-rings 200-009 ni70 and or 200-008 ni70 o-ring is damaged on the

back of the poppet valve.

The sail 200-011 ni70 o-ring on the rammer is damaged.

The 200-611 ni70 internal o-ring is damaged on the rammer housing

Check the valve plug has not come loose.

Problem: Leaks from the hole on the side of the HPR

Cause: O-rings 200-010 ni70, 10x2 ni70 and the 200-016 o-rings are dam aged

Problem: Leaks from the bottom of the HPR

Solution: O-rings 2 o 200-801 ni70 and or the 3 o 200-016 ni70 (change and

put a small amount of grease on them before reassembling)

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

Problems & Solutions

Problem: Bolt not cycling

Cause: 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

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.

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)

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

ring 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.
