connecting one to your Empire AXE.
The Empire AXE utilizes a fully functional regulator at the bottom of the grip frame that
doubles as an on/off ASA (air source adapter) or receiver for a standard threaded pre-
set output compressed air systems. It is strongly recommended that a very high-flow
“low-pressure” (400–450 psi) fixed-output system is utilized as an air source for your
Empire AXE. Using a “high pressure” (750–850 psi) output compressed air tank is ac-
ceptable. If you are using an adjustable output regulator system, the output pressure
should be 400–500 psi.
Warning:
• Remember compressed air or nitrogen systems can be extremely dangerous if
misused or improperly handLED. Use only cylinders meeting D.O.T. or regionally
defined specifications.
• Never add any lubricants or greases into the ll adapter on your tank regulator or
into the Empire AXE regulator.
• When connecting a remote system with a slide check, the sudden pressurization
from the slide check can force the poppet open briefly, sometimes pushing a ball
past the detents. It is recommended that you pressurize your Empire AXE before
loading paintballs into your loader.
• Do not install compressed air or load paintballs into your Empire AXE until you feel
completely confident with your ability to handle your Empire AXE safely.
Before Pressurizing your Empire AXE
• Check to make sure that you and anyone within range are wearing eye protection
designed specifically for paintball.
• Double check that all screws are tightened and no parts are loose before installing your tank.
• Make sure the bolt guide is locked in place properly.
• Ensure you have a barrel plug, barrel sock, or other specically designed barrel
blocking device in place.
• Make sure there are no paintballs in the marker and the power is off.
Pressurizing your Empire AXE
• Flip the regulators on/off arm forward so it’s pointing toward the front of the marker (Fig. 5.1).
• Install a compressed air tank, by screwing it in clockwise; making sure it’s fully
threaded into the ASA.
• Flip the on/off arm back so it’s ush with the regulator (Fig. 5.2). The marker will
become pressurized.
De-Pressurizing your Empire AXE
• Make sure a barrel-blocking device is installed in/on the end of the barrel.
• Turn the Empire AXE off by pressing and holding the power button. The LED will
turn from green to red. Observe the light to make sure it is no longer lit.
• Remove loader and all paintballs from marker.
• Flip the on/off arm forward and allow the gas to vent from the regulator.
• Read the pressure gauge and make sure the pressure reads 0 psi.
• Remove your air cylinder by slowly and carefully unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
• Air may remain within the marker once the tank is removed. While the barrel
blocking device is still installed, turn your AXE on with the eyes off and pull the
trigger a few times to deplete all remaining air.
