EPIPHANY Operation and adjustment instructions
Q UIC K START 01 BATTERY
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
02 BARREL BLOCKER Screw the included barrel into the Epiphany. Put the supplied barrel blocker over the end of the barrel, securing its cord as far back on the Epiphany body as possible, and cinching it tight.
Using a 5/64-inch Allen wrench, remove the two screws from the left side of the rubber grip and lift the panel open. Attach a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery to the battery clip. Position the battery in the grip frame, tucking the battery wires into the space above the battery. Close the grip and reinstall the screws.
04 LOADER
03 FILL TANK
05 TURN ON AIR Insert your loader into the feedneck and make sure it is secure. Due to the high rates of fire that the Epiphany can achieve, we recommend the use of a modern high-performance loader. Be sure the loader fits securely and is twist-fit in place with a clockwise motion (see the Hopper section.)
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 EPIPHANY 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 Epiphany’s internals.
POWER BUTTON
Turn on the marker by holding the power button down for approximately 2 seconds. The marker will turn on with Vision mode activated. The light will blink slowly if there is no paintball in the breech, or rapidly if there is. To de-activate Vision mode, press the power button briefly and it will blink in a double-tap sequence. Press it briefly again to re-activate Vision mode. Press and hold the power button for approximately 2 seconds to turn the Epiphany off.
07 ADJUST VELOCITY Fill the loader with paint 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 5/8-inch open-end wrench or adjustable wrench on the flats at 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 Epiphany 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 Epiphany to fire at greater than 300 feet per second.) As you adjust, check the Epiphany’s pressure gauge to be certain you stay below the Epiphany’s 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 Epiphany’s firing mode. See the Electronic Adjustment section for more information. Shoot out the competition, hang the flag and win the game.
