1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your selection of the Empire D*Fender paintball marker. The D*Fender marker has an integrated loader which eliminates the need for any additional loading device. The D*Fender marker is designed to provide you with many years of reliable performance. We are honored that you have chosen the D*Fender as your marker of choice and hope you enjoy using this high quality product. The D*Fender is precision engineered from magnesium alloy, aircraft grade aluminum and various composite materials. We expect you to play hard and play frequently and thus the D*Fender was built with this in mind. The D*Fender operates on Low-Pressure Compressed Air with the main operating pressure between 180-200 PSI (12.4-13.8 BAR). The pressure can be nominally adjusted and monitored visually via the gauge on the bottom-line regulator. There is no secondary regulator that adjusts the input pressure.
2. 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 blocking device in/on the marker’s Barrel 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. • 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 this entire manual before loading, attaching a propellant source or in any way attempting to operate the Empire D*Fender marker.
Note: Eye protective devices designed specifically for paintball use must be worn by the operator and anyone within range.
3. BASIC OPERATION 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. • Do not install an air source or load paintballs into your marker until you have completely read and understood this manual and feel completely confident with your ability to handle your marker safely. • Always use ASTM approved paintball specific eye protection. Always wear eye protection when handling a paintball marker and in any areas where paintball markers may be discharged. Make sure any other persons in the area also wear ASTM approved paintball eye protection. • Keep your finger out of the Trigger Guard and away from the Trigger; point the muzzle of the marker in a safe direction at all times. Keep the marker in Safe Mode. • Always use a barrel blocking device. This can be the supplied Barrel Cover or any approved device that prevents the accidental discharge of a paintball. • Remember that the ultimate safety device is you, the operator.
