SAFETY

THIS PAINTBALL MARKER IS NOT A TOY! This paintball marker
should be treated as a dangerous instrument and should always be
treated with respect. Never point a paintball marker at anyone not
properly attired. This paintball marker can cause serious bodily injury
including, but not limited to, blindness or even death. Please read all
safety instructions and directions in this manual

before

using this

paintball marker. Always wear approved safety goggles or an

approved mask whenever you handle this paintball marker!

Do not point or shoot this paintball marker at animals. Do not point or
shoot this paintball marker at any person unless you and your target
are engaged in paintball activities and are wearing proper safety gear
including approved paintball goggles, mask, and pads. Never shoot
anyone at close range! Never load this paintball marker with any­thing except approved paintballs. Never put anything down the
barrel except paintballs, barrel squeegees or barrel plugs. Do not
attempt to repair this paintball marker by yourself. Follow all mainte­nance instructions carefully. If you are unsure about any aspect of
the maintenance procedures contact your local dealer or Airgun
Designs, Inc. at [phone].

This paintball marker is always armed and cocked when an air
supply is installed. Always engage the safety (located behind the
trigger on the grip) and use an approved barrel plug when an air
supply is attached or installed. Disengage the safety and remove the
barrel plug only when on a playing field, the game has started and all
players are wearing proper safety gear. When the red ring of the
safety pin is showing, the safety is off and the paintball marker

will

fire.
Always chronograph this paintball marker before using it. Never

shoot this paintball marker when the chronograph readings exceed
300 fps! There is a blow-off valve incorporated into the valve mecha­nism that will release air pressure if pressure exceeds a predeter­mined amount. This blow-off valve is factory set and is not user
adjustable. Remember to wear proper approved goggles or masks
when chronographing your paintball marker.

Prior to disassembly remember to wear approved safety goggles or
masks to prevent accidental injury. Never point the paintball marker
at anyone or anything that could be injured or damaged, if shot.
Always remove the air source from the paintball marker and dry fire
in a safe direction before disassembling. The velocity adjusting nut is
on the back of the regulator body. Do not disassemble the velocity
adjusting nut while the paintball marker is under pressure. If air is
leaking out the back of the velocity regulator nut the paintball marker
is over-pressurized and will shoot at a higher velocity than intended.
Reduce the regulated pressure by backing off the velocity regulator
nut and re-chronograph the paintball marker. If problems persist call
your dealer or Airgun Designs, Inc. Do not put your fingers into the
breech area, down the ball feed tube or barrel while firing the
paintball marker; serious injury could result.

The pressure regulator allows gas under pressure to push the trigger
forward after shooting. An excessively hard trigger pull indicates
over pressure in the system. Do NOT fire a paintball marker that has
excessive trigger pull; call your local dealer or Airgun Designs, Inc.
immediately.

COMPRESSED AIR ONLY

Your AUTOMAG RT is designed to run on compressed air only! It
will not function at all on CO2 no matter what hoses, expansion
chambers, etc. you use. We recommend that you purchase a high­quality 3000 psi compressed air tank and regulator for your
AUTOMAG RT. The maximum input pressure to the paintball marker
should be above 600 psi and less than 1000 psi for best perfor­mance. Pressures over 1000 psi will damage the regulator and
reduce performance.
