Powering On your Empire MINI • 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
Read the full Operator’s Manual for technical information, usage instructions, and maintenance tips for your MINI 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 MINI 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 MINI 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.
Regulator and Velocity Adjustment The Empire MINI 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 remote hose. This unique regulator system channels air through the air transfer tube, eliminating the need for external macro line and fittings. The Empire MINI bottom-line regulator controls the amount of air pressure going from your compressed air system into the marker.
Powering Off your Empire MINI 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 MINI will switch Off.
The Empire MINI 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 MINI bottom-line regulator.
Compressed Air/Nitrogen Supply The Empire MINI is designed to work with compressed air/nitrogen only. Do not use CO2, as it will damage your Empire MINI. Low-pressure output compressed air tanks are recommended.
Regulator Adjustment The regulator should always be set between 180–200 psi. Do not adjust the regulator to change the velocity.
The Empire MINI 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 highflow “low-pressure” (400–450 psi) fixed-output system is utilized as an air source for your Empire MINI. 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 MINI • 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 MINI • Make sure a barrel-blocking device is installed in/on the end of the barrel. • Turn the Empire MINI 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 MINI on with the eyes off and pull the trigger a few times to deplete all remaining air. Installing a Loader and Paintballs The Empire MINI 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…
