HIGH PRESSURE COMPRESSED AIR TANK INSTALLATION
TheEmpireAXEisdesignedtoworkwithcompressedair/nitrogenonly.DonotuseCO2,asitwill
damageyourmarker.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preset
output compressed air system. The Regulator can function using either “high pressure” or “low
pressure” air systems.
Note: If you are using an adjustable Regulator system, the output pressure should be set between 350-450 psi.
BEFORE PRESSURIZING YOUR AXE MARKER

meeting D.O.T, TC. or regionally dened specications. Do not perform any work to your tank or tank Regulator.
- Never disassemble your tank or tank Regulator. Only a qualied and trained technician should perform work on your tank and tank

INSTALLING A LOADER AND PAINTBALLS
TheEmpireAXEuses.68caliber,water-solublepaintballs,readilyavailableatpaintballpro-shops,
commercialplayingelds,andmanysportinggoodsstores.Thepaintballsfeedfromtheloader
through the feed-neck and into the breech of the marker.
The Empire AXE comes equipped to accept standard-gravity feed loaders as well as most agitating
and force-feed loaders. Open the clamp lever and place the loader neck directly into the marker feed
neck. Align the loader in line with the marker so the nose points in the same direction as the barrel.
Closethelever,notingthatitmightbenecessarytoadjustthefeed-neck’sclampingscrewtogeta
snugtonyourloader.
