Rules For Safe Marker Handling
IMPORTANT: Never carry your Empire Vanquish uncased when not on a playing field. The
non-paintball public and law enforcement personnel may not be able to distinguish between
a paintball marker and a firearm. For your own safety and for those in the area and to protect
the image of the sport, always carry your Empire Vanquish in the marker case or a suitable
container.
Safety and safe marker handling are the most important aspects of paintball sports. Please
practice each of the following steps with an unloaded marker before attempting to operate
your marker with an air source and paintballs. Read this entire manual before loading, or
installing an air cylinder, or in any way attempting to operate the marker.
