Valken Blackhawk Mag Fed Manual - English

MFG OPERATION Using your Blackhawk MFG Paintball Marker Before beginning setup, locate the trigger safety pin above the trigger. Make sure the trigger safety is pushed in on the left hand side of the marker so that the marker is not accidentally discharged during setup.

Barrel Installation

Make sure the marker is degassed and that the Magazine is removed. Make sure that no paintballs are in the breech. Confirm that the safety is set to “safe” mode. 2. While pointing marker in a safe direction, place the threaded end of the barrel into the front opening of the marker body. 3. Turn the barrel clockwise until it stops. Do not turn the barrel with too much force, just allow the threads to draw the barrel in until it stops. Do not over tighten. 4. Immediately install a barrel blocking device. A blocking device is any device that prevents the accidental discharge of a paintball, such as a barrel plug.

Air Cylinder Installation

With a barrel blocking device properly installed, point the marker in a safe direction. Pull the cocking knob located on the left side of the marker back until it clicks and stops. This will cock the marker. Release the cocking knob and the marker is now cocked. Locate the air source adapter at the END OF THE MFG BODY. SLIDE THE STOCK OFF BY PULLING DOWN ON THE STOCK LEVER. Position the marker so that the air source adapter is pointed upwards and make sure that the barrel of the marker is pointed down. Insert the end of the threaded cylinder valve into the adapter. Do not push the cylinder, but slowly twist the cylinder clockwise. Allow the threads to draw the cylinder into the marker until it stops. Once it stops, the marker is charged. Slide the STOCK BACK OVER THE TANK AND STOCK ARM.

MAG loading and Installation

Wind up the magazine before loading the paintball by Push and turn the wheel on the right side of the magazine counter-clockwise until the wheel pop up. Turn the wheel clockwise couple turns to lower the pusher. Then load the paintball from the top opening. Repeat 2 above until the wheel stop. The magazine could load up to 15 paintball or First Strike™. (WARNING. Do not overloading the paintball to the magazine or overturning the wheel as it will damage the magazine) Push and turn the wheel clockwise to lock the wheel back to the magazine. Insert the magazine to the BLACKHAWK MFG until it is security locked by the magazine release button.

MFG OPERATION Firing your BLACKHAWK MFG 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Make sure eye protective devices designed specifically for paintball use are worn by the operator and anyone within range. While pointing the marker in a safe direction, remove the barrel blocking device. Push the trigger safety to the ”fire” mode by pushing it in on the right side of the marker. The red o-ring will now be visible on the left side and the Blackhawk MFG is in “fire” mode. Aim your Blackhawk MFG at a safe target and pull the trigger. When finished shooting, return the trigger safety to the “safe” mode and replace the barrel blocking device.

Velocity Adjustment a. Do not adjust the velocity without using a chronograph designed to measure the velocity of a paintball. Adjusting the velocity without using a paintball-specific chronograph may cause unsafe paintball speeds, which may result in serious injury or death. b. Make sure eye protective devices designed specifically for paintball use are worn by the operator and anyone within range. 1. Point the marker in a safe direction. Then, remove the barrel blocking device. 2. Aim your Blackhawk MFG barrel over the chronograph. 3. Set the trigger safety to fire by pushing the safety pin in on the right side of the marker. 4. Pull the trigger once and observe the reading on the chronograph. 5. Locate the velocity adjuster screw recessed on the left side of the Blackhawk MFG receiver. 6. To increase or decrease the velocity of the paintballs discharged from a marker, use a 5/32” Allen wrench to turn the screw clockwise to reduce velocity and counterclockwise to increase velocity. 7. When finished, set the trigger safety pin to safe mode by pushing the safety pin in on the left side of the marker, and replace the barrel blocking device. *Note: When adjusting the velocity, make small adjustments, testing after each adjustment. When reducing velocity, it may be necessary to make several adjustments before a reduction in velocity is achieved.

Storing your Blackhawk MFG

When play is done for the day, proper storage of the Blackhawk MFG Is essential to maintain proper function and extend the life of the marker. 1. Make sure eye protective devices designed specifically for paintball use are worn by the operator and anyone within range. 2. Empty the paintballs from the MAGAZINE and remove the MAGAZINE from the MARKER. 3. Point the marker in a safe direction and set the trigger safety pin to “fire” mode. 4. Remove the barrel blocking device and fire the marker in a safe direction until it is empty of paintballs. 5. Slowly unscrew and remove the air cylinder. Make sure the air cylinder does not separate from its valve/ regulator. 6. Aim the Blackhawk MFG in a safe direction and pull the trigger once to move the cocking bolt to the forward position. 7. Set the safety to “safe” mode. 8. The marker is now ready to be cleaned or put away for future use.
