High pressure air is very dangerous! This system is not a toy! Do not hold the system near your face when turning on or off. Never fill the system above 4500psi. Never fill the system if the bottle is damaged or out of hydrotest. Always fill slowly. Do not dissasemble with gas in the bottle.

Introduction

Installation

The 03 Conquest is a fully balanced, enhanced flow 4th generation paintball regulator. The Conquest is built from precision machined components manufactured on some of the most sophisticated computer controlled machinery in the world today.

Step 1: Attach the included mounting rail to the base of your grip frame using the two screws provided.

Features - Dual pressure, balanced regulation - Optimised high flow seals - Patented self lubricating, abrasion resistant seal material - Low pressure on/off with full relief function - 3 point overpressure safety system - Harmonised motion piston system, with low maintence features - Easy rebuild design - fully user rebuildable - MacDev micro gauges - side by side configuration - Filtered gas flow protecting both your Conquest internals and your marker from debris - Strengthened dovetail mount

Step 2: Slide the Conquest system onto the dovetail, then lock the system into place using the set screw in the dovetail. Step 3: Plumb a line from the outlet port (the only empty port on your Conquest regulator) to your marker. Never use a microline, it will choke the flow and restrict the performance of your Conquest. We recomend the use of a MacLine kit (macroline), however braided hose is acceptable.

Filling the Conquest system Check that the on/off lever on your Conquest system is in the off position (lever sticking out) then fill the system slowly. Always ensure that the fill nipple connection is firm before filling the bottle. Never fill above 4500psi. Always use compressed air/nitrogen to fill your system.

Setting the Conquest outlet pressure To turn the air on to your marker, push the on/off lever down flat. Check the pressure on your outlet gauge. If the pressure is not correct, then flick the on/off back into the off position before adjusting the pressure. To increase the outlet pressure, you must turn the on/off cap clockwise, to decrease the outlet pressure, you must turn the on/off cap anti-clockwise. To check the pressure, push the on/off lever back into the on position. Repeat these steps until the desired outlet pressure is achieved.

ON POSITION

Caring for your Conquest The Conquest is a very low maintenance system, however there are some things that you can do to keep it running at optimum performance: Piston lubrication The Conquest piston slides up and down every time you fire your marker. To keep the piston sliding smoothly, it is a good idea to lubricate it every 20,000 shots (10 cases of paint) or 4 months - whichever comes first. Lubricating the piston is very easy, and it is not necessary to empty your bottle. To re-lubricate the piston you should:

Using your Conquest with a gas thru grip The Conquest is fully balanced, so you can run it directly into your gun using a gas thru grip. In this case, you can set the marker velocity by increasing or decreasing the outlet pressure.

Using your Conquest with an inline regulator

1. Flick off the on/off lever and unscrew the on/off cap. Remove the cam disc and load spring. 2. Pull out the piston using a pair of long nosed pliers 3. Clean the piston with a clean rag, and clean the piston bore (inside the regulator) with a clean q-tip. 4. Lubricate the piston o-rings as well as the piston bore (you may need to use a q-tip to get lube into the piston bore) 5. Re-assemble and test your regulator.

In this case, the Conquest should be set 200psi above the pressure your inline reg is supplying to your marker.

On/off lubrication

Tourney locking your Conquest

Each time you turn the system on or off, the on/off lever slides on the cam disc. If you find the system becomes stiff to turn on, it may require lubrication between the on/off lever and the cam disc.

In many cases, adjusting the Conquest outlet pressure can change the velocity of your marker. For this reason, you may be required to lock the outlet pressure for tournament play. To lock the outlet pressure, simply screw the two plastic tipped screws (located on the top of your on/off cap) down onto the body of the regulator - this will allow you to turn the system off without changing the outlet pressure.

Fill nipple care When you take a dive, so does your air system - try to avoid getting dirt in the fill nipple of your system. The Conquest comes with a plastic fill nipple cover, use this to keep unwanted dirt out of your system when you play.
