4) To insert a loaded magazine into the marker, slide the
magazine in until you hear it lock in place. Only remove
E
the barrel blocking device and turn off the trigger safety
when you are ready to shoot.

NOTE: When removing a loaded magazine
G
from the marker, 2 loose paintballs might

drop from the grip. Inspect the chamber
I
for a paintball. Push the magazine tab
down until it locks to take pressure off the
S
balls and reload the balls into the magazine.

To remove balls from the magazine: press
and hold the magazine ball release
down with a flat object and the balls will be
pushed out the top of the magazine.
The breech window allows you to see
if a paintball is in the breech chamber.
The sight windows allow you to see
when you are low on paintballs.
STEP 3: Velocity Adjustment
Each time you play paintball, the velocity of your
paintball marker should be checked with a chro-
nograph, an instrument for measuring velocity,
prior to playing paintball to verify that the marker's
velocity is set below 300 feet per second or less if
required by the playing field.
To adjust the velocity, use the 3/16" allen wrench
included with your marker. The velocity adjustment
screw is located at the back of the receiver (Do
not use a smaller allen wrench and mistakenly ad-
just the Regulator Pressure Relief Valve set screw
which is accessed through the velocity adjustment
set screw - see note below). To reduce the velocity,
turn the screw counterclockwise
the velocity screw). To increase the velocity, turn the
screw clockwise .
NOTE: This marker has a Regulator Pressure Relief Valve that prevents
excessive air pressure that could damage your marker and is factory set
at 350 psi. If a cartridge with excessive air pressure is loaded,

or if extreme temperature conditions cause excessive cartridge air pressure
buildup, it will vent excessive air out the access point
outlined in the Regulator Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment instructions
on page 19.
