EOS Operation and adjustment instructions
Q U I C K S TART 01 BATTERY
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
02 BARREL BLOCKER
The EOS is powered by a standard 9-volt battery. To verify that a battery is installed, or to install a new one, use a 5/64-inch Allen wrench to remove the two screws from the left side of the rubber grip and lift the panel open. The battery should be attached to the battery clip, and placed in the grip frame with the battery wires tucked in above it. When changing batteries, pull the battery clip from the battery directly, do not pull on the wires. With the battery secure, close the grip and reinstall the screws.
04 LOADER
03 FILL TANK Screw the included barrel into the EOS. Slide the included barrel blocker over the barrel and secure its cord as far back on the EOS body as possible, cinching it tight. The barrel blocker is a critical piece of paintball safety equipment – nearly as important as paintball goggles. The barrel blocker must be fully seated on the marker’s muzzle and secured in place with its strap any time the marker is stored or handled in an area where people or property are not properly protected by paintball goggles of paintball field netting.
05 TURN ON AIR The EOS is a high-performance tournament grade marker. The break-beam Vision system will allow it to use a low-end hopper without chopping paintballs. A high-performance, preferably force-feeding loader must be used to achieve maximum rates of fire. Open the marker’s Q-Lock feedneck by pulling the locking lever away from the feedneck, then insert the loader and secure it in place by folding the lever back to its locked position.
Have your compressed air (HPA) or CO2 tank filled by a person who is properly trained to do so. If using an HPA system with an on/off valve, such as the Max-Flo or Max-Flo Micro, make sure it is in the OFF position.
06 TURN ON EOS Gently gas up the marker by slowly turning on the air system or ASA’s on/off valve, or slowly screwing the CO2 or compressed air system into the ASA. A gentle rise in pressure is important, as a sudden blast may reduce the service life of the EOS’s internals.
POWER BUTTON
Turn the marker on by pressing the power button, and holding it in for a full second. When the EOS turns on, the power button will glow red. The EOS is turned off by pressing and holding the power button for one second. To conserve battery power, the EOS will turn itself off if it is not fired for more than 15 minutes. Pressing the power button momentarily while the EOS is on, will deactivate the Vision anti-chop system, which is indicated by the power button blinking.
Although the power button serves as the EOS’s safety switch to prevent accidental firing, it should never be relied upon in place of a barrel blocker and proper paintball eye protection.
07 ADJUST VELOCITY Fill the hopper with paintballs and turn it on. While wearing ASTM compliant paintball goggles, in an area where all bystanders are protected, remove the barrel blocker and fire over a chronograph to measure the velocity. Using a 5/32-inch allen wrench on the adjuster in the bottom of the vertical regulator, turn clockwise to increase velocity/pressure, and counter-clockwise to decrease. Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas pressure inside the EOS to stabilize. Adjust until the marker is firing consistently within the limits for the field where you are playing (for safety reasons, never adjust the EOS to fire at greater than 300 feet per second.) As you adjust, check the EOS’ pressure gauge to be certain you stay below the EOS’ operating limit of 280 psi. Depending on what modes of fire are allowed at the field where you are playing (semi-automatic, rebound, etc.) you may need to adjust the EOS’ firing mode. See the Electronic Adjustment section for more information. Shoot out the competition, hang the flag and win the game. Increasing Velocity.
