3. Loader Installation.
Insert the loader onto the Rip-Clip as
indicated. Turn the loader Counter-clock-
wise until it locked firmly (Figure 6 - 8).
4. Activating the Rip-Clip.
Locate the power button on the rear con-
trol panel. To turn on, press the button.
The green LED comes on while the button is pressed; now release button. The green LED
will now flash again for one second, go off, then flash quickly 1, 2, or 3 times indicating
the speed it is currently set to. The motor will spin for a second and the loader is now ready
to use. Do NOT fire your marker until after the initial motor spin has completed. Firing
during this period can disrupt the auto-adjusting sound sensitivity and cause the hopper
not to work properly. The green LED will flash repeatedly while the unit is on to show it is
ready. If the LED flashing changes to red, then the batteries are low and need to be replaced.
To turn off, press and hold until the loader gives a RED indication. Release the button
and loader will power down to the OFF state.

5. Setting the Speed.
When the Rip-Clip is first turned on, while the LED flashes for one long second, press
and hold the power button again during this flash. When done properly, the LED will
now change to red and you can release the button. The LED will only stay red for
about 15 seconds, then change back to its flashing green sequence for regular opera-
tion if no buttons are pressed. To set the speed during the red LED phase, push and
release the button the number of times necessary based on what speed you desire.
Press once for normal slow speed, twice for faster normal speed, and three times for
fastest speed. Each time you press and release the button during this sequence, the
press of the button should last about one second. If done too quickly, the board may
not be set to the speed you desire. When done correctly, the red LED will go off, then
flash the same number of times the button was pressed, indicating which speed it is
now set to. The motor will now spin up at the speed it is set to, it will stop, and now
the speed is set and the unit is ready to use.
