∙During game play, follow referee’s instructions and all field safety rules. Avoid shooting at another player’s head, neck or groin area
∙Play paintball only where the rules of safety for paintball are followed
∙All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust the marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity this is 300feet per second (fps) or less and that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the Paintball Park or field where the marker is in use. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the power source is refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part of the power system is changed, and upon request of any player or game official
∙This paintball marker operates using compressed gas or air at specified pressure ranges. Follow safety procedures when handling compressed gas or air. All filling of compressed gas or air cylinders must be done by qualified persons
∙Follow the rules of safe marker handling: keep finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction. In addition, firmly insert a barrel plug into the muzzle and push the mechanical or electronic safety to “ON” or “SAFE” when the marker is not in use and when in any non-shooting area
∙Never shoot at domestic animals or wildlife
∙Never mark objects outside the confines of the game or authorized shooting areas
∙Never look down the barrel of a marker
∙Before disassembly, storage, or transport of this marker, remove ALL paintballs from the marker, barrel, and loader: remove power source: and remove all gas or air from the power system. Insert a barrel plug and put the safety “ON”
∙Carry your marker in a case or sturdy bag when transporting it in public
∙Safely and securely store marker to prevent access to it by unauthorized persons or minors.

Operating Instructions
WARNING
Every person within range of this paintball marker must wear protective goggles and headgear specifically designed for paintball.
1.Before continuing with these instructions please refer to the section in Chapter 2 on maintenance and lubrication (pg 16). Your marker should first be properly cleaned internally & lubricated prior to firing to avoid unnecessary wear or damage on the internals. After completing that task, return to this section and continue with step 2.
2.Make sure the safe switch is in the SAFE position. Press the button on the trigger frame to the right for SAFE ON, and to the LEFT (red ring should be visible on the button) for SAFE OFF.
3.At this time do not attach power source, clip/hopper adapter, and do not load any paintballs into the marker.
4.Insert barrel plug firmly into the barrel.
5.Pull the cocking handle (back of marker body as illustrated) straight back until the cocking mechanism locks back in the cocked position

A R M O T E C H – T H E P E R F E C T M A R K E R … T H E P E R F E C T G A M E
Turn the safety switch to the FIRE position and then squeeze the trigger with an even pressure. The cocking knob should snap forward into the un-cocked position. You have just dry-fired your Armotech marker. Do this a few times until you are comfortable with this operation and the feel of the marker when cocking, and firing it.
6.Using the supplied hex-wrench make certain to properly tighten all screws on your marker. These include the trigger frame and bottom line if you have outfitted your ZEUS with that upgrade module. Do not overtighten and take care not to strip ANY of these screws.
7.Attach the ammo/ball clip to the top of the marker. Depending on how your clips are configured they may insert differently. The ARMOTECH clips insert by sliding the front section of the clip into the milled groove at the top-front section of the receiver body. Apply a slight forward pressure and snap the rear section of the clip into place (see illustration below).
8.If your clip inserts from the rear, simply repeat the process but this time insert the clip into the rear groove at the top of the receiver body, while pulling the other retainer clip back slightly with your fingers so it snaps into position

Compressed Air/Gas
WARNING
The power system contains compressed gas or air when pressurized. Never disassemble the marker until removing ALL the gas or air from the power system. Always keep hands away from escaping CO2 gas. It can cause frostbite if allowed to come in contact with skin.
∙Before attaching any air or gas power source, read and understand this section of the owner’s manual. Follow safety rules for handling compressed air/gas. If any leaks occur in the power system, refer to troubleshooting section or Armotech support. Use only cylinders for compressed gas or air that comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to those of the US dept of transportation, OSHA, Compressed Gas Association and/or American Society for Testing and Materials.
∙CO2 CARTRIDGE: Small 12gr. CO2 cartridges are inserted into the front of the marker body, just below the barrel and secured into place with a retainer cap. As the cap is tightened, it presses the CO2 cartridge against a specialized activation pin – which punctures the cartridge head, and starts the flow of CO2 into the marker. The CO2 cartridge delivers approximately 22 shots.

∙BOTTOM LINE: The power source is attached by screwing the threads of the tank or power source adapter into the threaded bottom line ASA at the base of the grip or on the drop forward. THE ARMOTECH ZEUS BOTTOM LINE KIT IS REQUIRED! There is a model for CO2 and one for HPA that can be added to the marker depending on your power source preference.
∙
∙When cocking the pressurized marker do not release the cocking knob until after the cocking mechanism has locked back into the cocked position. The marker is now ready to fire.
∙Test for function – now that the power source is loaded and the marker cocked, flip the safety switch to the FIRE position and squeeze the trigger. The marker should shoot air, and the cocking knob should cycle back to the cocked position ready to fire again. Repeat this several times to get used to the recoil action of the marker. You have now fired your marker WITH loaded power source.
The ARMOTECH paintball marker may be powered by CO2, regulated compressed air (HPA), or regulated nitrogen. From the source of gas or air

A R M O T E C H – T H E P E R F E C T M A R K E R … T H E P E R F E C T G A M E
through the entire power system, there are varying pressures that are applied to the marker and the components of the power system.
The marker requires a minimum of 450psi for proper operation
If you are using HPA please ensure that the HPA bottle regulator output is at least 550 PSI.

A R M O T E C H – T H E P E R F E C T M A R K E R … T H E P E R F E C T G A M E
SAFETY RULES FOR HANDLING COMPRESSED AIR OR GAS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES!
OPERATING PRESSURES AND INPUT PRESSURE
∙Operating pressure range 450 p.s.i. to 900 p.s.i. (Although some markers have been known to operate at pressures as low as 330 p.s.i. or pressures over 1100 p.s.i. it is recommended that the specified operating pressure of the Armotech marker be used in order to avoid problems.)
∙Never exceed recommended pressures, as this may be dangerous to you and damaging to the marker.
∙Do not leave a pressurized marker or cylinder in direct sunlight or exposed heat source. Increased temperatures will increase the internal pressure of the compressed gas or air and could cause problems.
NOTES FOR BOTTOM LINE ADAPTED ZEUS PISTOL MARKERS ONLY!
VALVE CYLINDER CONNECTION
The Valve on a cylinder is to remain screwed into the cylinder. Should it loosen, the cylinder may detach from the valve with an extremely dangerous force.
∙Every time a cylinder is filled, the connection between the valve and cylinder must be inspected. If any looseness or leak is detected between the valve and the cylinder, do not fill. Drain the cylinder and have it inspected by qualified persons.
∙During filling if any looseness or leak is detected between the valve and the cylinder, filling should be stopped and the cylinder should immediately be drained to avoid problems.
FILLING COMPRESSED AIR/GAS
∙An overfill of any compressed air or gas cylinder can cause the safety burst disk on the cylinder to rupture. A cylinder may rupture with excessive force. Use properly rated disk only for the burst disk.
∙A scale must be used for ALL CO2 fills to prevent an overfill. A pressure gauge must be used for all compressed gas or air fills to prevent overfills.
