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. While the barrel blocking
device is still installed, turn your Vanquish on, turn the eyes off and pull the trigger a few
times to deplete all remaining air.
• Read the pressure rating and make sure the pressure reads “LOW”.
• Remove your air cylinder by slowly and carefully unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
Installing a Loader and Paintballs
The Empire Vanquish uses .68 caliber, water-soluble paintballs, readily available at paintball
pro-shops, commercial playing fields, and many sporting goods stores. The paintballs feed
from the loader through the neck and into the breech of the marker.
The Empire Vanquish 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 di-
rectly 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 fit on your loader.
Firing the Empire Vanquish
Keep your finger out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger, point the muzzle of your
marker in a safe direction at all times during this process. Be sure your goggles are securely in
place and make sure the Vanquish marker is off.
Warning: Everyone within firing range should always use ASTM approved eye and face
protection in the presence of live paintball markers.
• Place the empty loader onto the marker. Be sure that it is securely mounted in place
• Install and apply the compressed gas, pressurizing the marker
• Put the paintballs into the loader
• Remove the barrel plug, sock or barrel-blocking device
• Aim the Vanquish in a safe direction.
• Turn the Vanquish ON: Press and hold the CENTER of the D-Pad to turn board/marker ON
• Aim the Vanquish at the target
• Pull the trigger with a smooth squeezing motion
Caution: When the game you are playing is over, remember to place the barrel blocking
device onto your barrel and turn the marker off.
Vanquish SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT
Battery Replacement and Life Indicator
The Empire Vanquish requires a single 9-volt battery as the electronic power
source. The use of brand-name batteries is highly recommended. The 9-volt
battery is located within the grip and is accessed through the removal of the grip
panel by using the 3/32” hex wrench to remove the grip screws. Confirm that
the marker is OFF before changing or installing the battery.
If there is already a battery in the grip, carefully disconnect the battery from the
battery harness, and then connect a fresh 9-Volt battery to the harness. Make
sure that there are no abrupt kinks in the wires and that they are comfortably
seated. Do not force into place. Then re-install the grip and secure with the
grip screws. The Empire Vanquish also has a battery life indicator visible on the
screen in Live Mode. The battery icon will show the power level remaining in
the battery.
Note: Some rechargeable batteries may be too large for the Empire Vanquish battery
compartment. If they don’t fit, please don’t force them as this may cause damage.
