Rules for Safe Marker Handling
WARNING: Never carry your paintball marker uncased when not on a playing field. The non-playing public and law enforcement personnel may not be able to distinguish between a paintball marker and a firearm. For your own safety and to protect the image of the sport, always carry your marker in a suitable marker case or in the box in which it was shipped. • Treat every marker as if it were loaded. • Never look down the barrel of a paintball marker. • Keep the marker in “Safe Mode” until ready to shoot, power Off and barrel blocking device installed in/on the marker’s Barrel. • Keep your finger off the Trigger until ready to shoot. • Never point the marker at anything you don’t wish to shoot. • Keep the barrel sock or another ASTM approved blocking device installed when not shooting. • Always remove paintballs and the air source before disassembly. • After removing the 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. • The operator and 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-per-second). • Read and understand this entire manual before loading, attaching a propellant source or in any way attempting to operate the marker.

1. BASIC OPERATION Barrel Installation 1. Make sure marker is degassed, loader removed, no paintballs in the feed port or breech and the marker is OFF. 2. Slide the longer barrel tip into the barrel back, turning the barrel tip clockwise until it stops (do not over tighten). 3. While pointing marker in a safe direction, thread the barrel into the front opening of the marker body. 4. Turn the barrel clockwise (when looking at the front opening) until it stops (do not over tighten). 5. Install a barrel blocking device. This can be a barrel bag or other such device that prevents the accidental discharge of a paintball. Compressed Air 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. The Regulator can function using either “high pressure” or “low pressure” air systems. Note: If you are using an adjustable Regulator system, the output pressure should be set between 350-450 psi.
Before Pressurizing your Axe Pro - Check to make sure that you and anyone within range are wearing eye protection designed specifically for paintball. - Double check that all screws are tightened and no parts are loose before installing your tank. - Ensure you have a barrel sock or other specifically designed barrel-blocking device in place. - Make sure there are no paintballs in the marker and that the Axe Pro is turned OFF. Notes: - Remember compressed air or nitrogen systems can be extremely dangerous if misused or improperly handled. Use only cylinders meeting D.O.T, TC. or regionally defined specifications. Do not perform any work to your tank or tank Regulator. - Never disassemble your tank or tank Regulator. Only a qualified and trained technician should perform work on your tank and tank Regulator. - Never add any lubricants or greases into the fill adapter on your tank Regulator
Pressurizing the Marker
1. Flip the Regulator’s On/Off ASA lever forward so it’s pointing toward the front of the marker. (Fig. 1a)
3. 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. (Fig. 1b)
De- Pressurizing the Marker 1. Flip the On/Off lever forward and allow the gas to vent from the Regulator. 2. 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. 3. Remove your air cylinder by slowly and carefully unscrewing it counter-clockwise. 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…
