INTRODUCTION EEmpire Paintball has created the finest paintball marker in the proud history of Empire products. The Vanquish is the pinnacle of intelligent marker design incorporating cutting edge technology within a proven marker platform.
QUICK SETUP Empire Driver XX Barrel The Empire Driver XX Barrel is included with the Empire Vanquish marker. The Driver XX is a two-piece barrel that consists of a front section (tip), a back section (back) that has four sizing options. The different sized backs are used to match the size of the paintball to the barrel and create the most accurate and efficient barrel system available. To determine the correct bore size: 1. Assemble the barrel and choose a sized barrel back. 2.
Vanquish Power On/Off • Turn Marker ON - Press and hold the CENTER of the Directional Pad (the black button/joy stick located under the screen) until the screen illuminates to turn the board/marker ON. The Boot Up Splash Screen will display for 3 seconds. You are now in LIVE Mode (see below for more details) and the marker is ready to fire.
DE-PRESSURIZING YOUR EMPIRE VANQUISH • Make sure a barrel-blocking device is installed in/on the end of the barrel. • Turn the Empire Vanquish off using the D-Pad as explained above. • Remove loader and all paintballs from marker. • Flip the On/Off lever forward and allow the gas to vent from the regulator. • Air may remain within the marker once the regulator is vented.
Optional Soft-Shot Bolt You will notice that your Vanquish comes with 2 different Bolts. One Bolt is installed on your marker and the other was shipped as a separate component. The red anodized Bolt (not installed in the marker) is called the Soft-Shot Bolt. This Bolt is designed so that while in the firing cycle, the air is restricted from venting, so that when the Bolt returns, it hits an air cushion.
How to Setup the Vanquish for Cold Temperatures 4) INCREASE ABS DWELL, DECREASE ABS WAIT TIME – It is normal to increase ABS Dwell Before using the Vanquish in cold weather conditions (typically at or below 45*F) there is reappear throughout the day you should increase the ABS Dwell setting more.
