only. Do not use CO2, as it will damage your Empire AXE. Lowpressure output compressed air tanks are recommended.
Read the full Operator’s Manual for technical information, usage instructions, and maintenance tips for your AXE marker. The full manual can be found on the CD enclosed with the marker or by contacting Paintball Solutions at 1-800-220-3222 or at www. paintballsolutions.com. Quick Start Manual Rules for Safe Marker Handling Important: Never carry your Empire AXE uncased when not on a playing field. The non-paintball playing public and law enforcement personnel may not be able to distinguish between a paintball marker and firearm. For your own safety and to protect the image of the sport, always carry your Empire AXE in a suitable marker case or in the box in which it came in. Safety and safe marker handling are the most important aspects of paintball sports. Please practice each of the following steps with an unloaded marker before attempting to operate your marker with an air source and paintballs. *READ OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE USING* • Treat every marker as if it were loaded. • Never look down the barrel of a paintball marker. • Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. • Never point the marker at anything you don’t wish to shoot. • Keep the marker off until ready to shoot. • Keep the barrel-blocking device in/on the marker’s barrel when not shooting. • Always remove paintballs and air source before disassembly. • After removing air source, point marker in safe direction and discharge until marker is degassed. • Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secure place. • Follow warnings listed on the air source for handling and storage. • Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows. • Every person within range must wear eye, face, and ear protection designed specifically to stop paintballs and meeting ASTM standard F1776. • Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball and never shoot at velocities in excess of 300 feet-per-second (91.44 meters). • Remember that the ultimate safety device is you, the operator. This is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or death. Eye protection designed specifically for paintball must be worn by the user and persons within range. Recommend 18 years of age or older to purchase. Persons under 18 years of age must have adult supervision. Barrel Installation • While pointing marker in a safe direction, place the threaded end of the barrel into the front opening of the marker body. • Turn the barrel clockwise until it stops (do not over tighten). • Install a barrel-blocking device which is included. This can be a barrel plug or other such device that prevents the accidental discharge of paintballs. Powering On your Empire AXE • To turn the Empire MIN on, locate the power button on the back side of the front fore-grip, in front of the trigger guard and directly under the LED. • Push and hold the power button for 2 seconds and the LED will glow solid RED as soon as the button is pressed. Continue to hold the button until the LED glows solid GREEN. • Release the button and the LED will intermittently flash indicating that the marker is now ON and LIVE in FIRE Mode Powering Off your Empire AXE Push and hold the button on the front foregrip. After the button is held for 2 seconds, the LED will turn to a solid RED color. Release button and the AXE will switch Off. Compressed Air/Nitrogen Supply The Empire AXE is designed to work with compressed air/nitrogen
The Empire AXE utilizes a fully functional regulator at the bottom of the grip frame that doubles as an on/off ASA (air source adapter) or receiver for a standard threaded pre-set output compressed air systems. It is strongly recommended that a very high-flow “low-pressure” (400–450 psi) fixed-output system is utilized as an air source for your Empire AXE. Using a “high-pressure” (750-850 psi) output compressed air tank is acceptable. If you are using an adjustable output regulator system, the output pressure should be 400–500 psi. Pressurizing your Empire AXE • Make sure a barrel-blocking device is installed in/on the end of the barrel. • Install a compressed air tank, by screwing it in clockwise, making sure it’s fully threaded into the ASA. De-Pressurizing your Empire AXE • Make sure a barrel-blocking device is installed in/on the end of the barrel. • Turn the Empire AXE off by pressing and holding the power button. The LED will turn from green to red. Observe the light to make sure it is no longer lit. • Remove loader and all paintballs from marker. • Remove your air cylinder by slowly and carefully unscrewing it counter clockwise. • Air may remain within the marker once the tank is removed. While the barrel-blocking device is still installed, turn your AXE on with the eyes off and pull the trigger a few times to deplete all remaining air. Installing a Loader and Paintballs The Empire AXE comes equipped to accept standard-gravity feed loaders as well as most agitating and force-feed loaders. Fit the loader directly into the feed neck. It might be necessary to adjust the feed necks clamping screw to your loader. Firing the Empire AXE • Place an empty loader onto the marker. • Make sure that the loader is securely mounted and clamped in place. • Install a compressed air cylinder, pressurizing the marker. • Put the paintballs into the loader and turn the loader on. • Remove the barrel plug, sock, or barrel-blocking device. • Aim the Empire AXE in a safe direction. • Turn the marker on by pushing the power button for 2 seconds until the LED light changes from solid RED to solid Green, then release button and LED should go to a double blink LED if a ball is loaded into the breech. • Aim the Empire AXE at the target. • Pull the trigger with a smooth squeezing motion. Regulator and Velocity Adjustment The Empire AXE utilizes a bottom-line regulator that doubles as an on/off ASA adapter and regulator for a standard threaded pre-set output compressed air system or…
