TANK INSTALLATION
The Empire Axe Pro is designed to work with compressed air/nitrogen only. Do not use CO2, as it will damage your marker. The Empire Axe Pro 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 preset output compressed air system.
PRESSURIZING THE MARKER
• Flip the regulator’s On/Off ASA lever forward so it’s pointing toward the front of the marker. • Install a compressed air tank, by screwing it in clockwise; making sure it’s fully threaded into the ASA. • Flip the On/Off ASA lever back so it’s flush with the regulator and pointing toward the rear of the marker. The marker will become pressurized.
DE-PRESSURIZING THE MARKER
• Flip the On/Off lever forward and allow the gas to vent from the regulator. • Air may remain within the marker once the regulator is vented. While the barrel blocking device is still installed, turn your Axe Pro on, turn the eyes off and pull the trigger a few times to deplete all remaining air. • Remove your air cylinder by slowly and carefully unscrewing it counterclockwise.
BARREL INSTALLATION
• Make sure marker is degassed, loader removed, no paintballs in the feed port or breech and the marker is OFF. • Slide the longer barrel tip into the barrel back, turning the barrel tip clockwise until it stops (do not over tighten). • While pointing marker in a safe direction, thread the barrel into the front opening of the marker body. • Turn the barrel clockwise (when looking at the front opening) until it stops (do not over tighten). • Install a barrel blocking device. This can be a barrel bag or other such device that prevents the accidental discharge of a paintball.
INSTALLING A LOADER AND PAINTBALLS
The Empire Axe Pro uses .68 caliber, water-soluble paintballs, readily available at paintball pro-shops, commercial playing fields, and many sporting goods stores. The paintballs feed from the loader through the feed-neck and into the breech of the marker. The Empire Axe Pro comes equipped to accept standard-gravity feed loaders as well as most agitating and force-feed loaders. Open the clamp lever and place the loader neck directly into the marker feed neck. Align the loader in line with the marker so the nose points in the same direction as the barrel. Close the lever, noting that it might be necessary to adjust the feed-neck’s clamping screw to get a snug fit on your loader.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND LIFE INDICATOR
Confirm that the marker is OFF before changing or installing the battery. The Empire Axe Pro requires a single 9-volt battery as the electronic power source. The use of brand-name alkaline batteries is highly recommended. The 9-volt battery is located within the grip and is accessed through the removal of the foregrip door panel by using the 5/32” hex wrench to remove the door screw. The Empire Axe Pro also has a battery life indicator visible on the screen in Live Mode. The battery icon will show the power level remaining in the battery.
FIRING THE EMPIRE AXE PRO
• Place the empty loader onto the marker. Be sure that it is securely mounted in place • Install and apply the compressed gas, pressurizing the marker • Put the paintballs into the loader • Remove the barrel plug, sock or barrel-blocking device
• Aim the Axe Pro in a safe direction. • Turn the Axe Pro ON: Press and hold the CENTER of the D-Pad to turn board/marker ON • Aim the Axe Pro at the target • Pull the trigger with a smooth squeezing motion Caution: When the game you are playing is over, remember to place the barrel blocking device onto your barrel and turn the marker off.
REGULATOR AND VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
The Empire AXE Pro 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. This unique regulator system channels air through the air transfer tube, eliminating the need for external macro line and fittings. The Empire AXE Pro bottom-line regulator controls the amount of air pressure going from your compressed air system into the marker. The Empire AXE Pro regulator should be factory pre-set at about 190 psi, as this is the best operating pressure for proper marker operation. However, if over time you do need to adjust the pressure, use the regulator adjuster screw on the front of your Empire AXE Pro bottom-line regulator.
REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT
If adjustments are needed use a 3/32” hex wrench and insert it into the regulator adjustment screw. This is located in the front of the regulator. - To Increase pressure turn Clockwise. - To Decrease pressure turn Counter-clockwise. Notes: - Always watch the gauge as you are adjusting the pressure. - Do Not Use CO2! - The Bottomline Regulator should not be disassembled. - Never set the regulator above 210 psi.
ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY
At the back of the Axe Pro main Body is the Bolt Guide Cap. The Bolt Guide Cap serves as your velocity adjuster. Confirm that the pressure on your Bottomline Regulator is at or below 200 PSI. Then you can increase or decrease the velocity on your Axe Pro by tightening or loosening the Bolt Guide Cap with a 3/32” inch hex wrench. A paintball specific radar chronograph should be used to accurately measure your velocity. -To Increase Velocity Unscrew or loosen the Bolt Guide Cap by turning it Counterclockwise. Rotate the Bolt Guide Cap counter-clockwise in small increments (1/4 turn or less), stopping between slight turns to test velocity, until desired velocity is achieved. Do not back the Bolt Guide Cap out past being flush. Stop if you hear an air leak, and adjust back in a 1/4 turn. -To Decrease Velocity Tighten or screw-in Bolt Guide Cap by turning it Clockwise. Rotate the Bolt Guide Cap Clockwise in small increments (1/4 turn or less), stopping between slight turns to test velocity, until desired velocity is achieved.
