! WARNING !

IMPORTANT CO2/ HPA AIR TANK SAFETY INSTRUCTION

AND GUIDELINES

STOP IMMEDIATELY

CO2 or HPA/ N2 Air tanks will have enough force to fly off and
cause serious injury or death if the valve unscrews from the tank
head.

Look at the valve when removing the tank from the marker’s On/Off

Bottom ASA (A091). Make sure that the valve is turning with the

tank instead of staying with the marker.

STOP IMMEDIATELY if valve starts to unscrew from the tank itself.

Screw the tank back onto the marker’s On/Off Bottom ASA adapter
and contact a qualified airsmith for further assistance.

GETTING STARTED

1. First, place the BARREL BLOCKING DEVICE over the barrel.

2. Always point your marker at a “SAFE” direction before use.
To use, press the Top Button once on the back of the grip
frame. Doing this the Upper LED will show Red Light and the
marker will be in Safe Mode. To unlock from the Safe Mode,
point the marker in a Safe Direction, and press the Bottom
Button once. Doing this the Upper LED will show Green Light
and the marker will be ready to play.

* For detailed operation of the electronics please refer to page (7)

3. Firmly screw in the CO2/ HPA/ N2 air tank to the On/Off Bottom

ASA (A091). Tighten the air tank clockwise all the way in the

marker’s On/Off Bottom ASA.

CAUTION: Never use any hand tool to screw air tank to the
bottom ASA.

4. Attach a paintball hopper/ loader to the marker’s feed neck.

5. Remove the barrel blocking device and unlock the safe mode.

CAUTION: Now the marker is LIVE, pulling the trigger will
fire a paintball. Only test your marker at the safe direction
or in a proper organized paintball field.

5

®

6. Check marker’s velocity FPS (Feet Per Second). Turning the

Velocity Adjuster (P023) clockwise will increase the velocity.

Counterclockwise will decrease the velocity.

7. After playing, take out all paintballs from the hopper. Then
detach the hopper from the marker.
CAUTION: There may be 1-2 paintballs in the breach area;

take a couple more shots in a safe direction to make sure
the marker is empty of paintballs.

8. Place the barrel blocking device over the barrel and push the
safety button in the safe mode.

9. Unscrew the CO2/ HPA/ N2 air tanks from the marker’s bottom
ASA.
CAUTION: Never use any hand tool to screw air tanks to the

bottom ASA.

10. Store the marker in a paintball bag or in a safe place.

TO TURN ON THE BOARD: Press the Top Button once to turn on
the board. Upper LED will show Red Light (Safe Mode) and Lower
LED will show Green Light (Default setting is Semi-Auto mode)
or your previous setting (The ZEN Board will memorize last

setting of shooting mode).

If Upper LED Light is flashing Red Light, it means battery power
status is low and the battery needs to be change. Battery power
status can be verified by press Top Button once more to confirm.

SAFE MODE: After turning on the board, press Bottom Button
once to turn off the Safe Mode and Upper LED Light will show

Green Light to indicate the Eyes are on.

Press Bottom Button again to turn on the Safe Mode. Right now the
Upper LED Light will show Red Light to indicate the Safe Mode
is on.

EYES ON/OFF: When Safety is on and Upper LED Light is
showing Green Light (Eyes On). Press the Top Button once and
Upper LED Light will change to Change Light to indicate the eyes
are off. To turn the eyes back On, Press Top Button again and
Upper LED Light will showing Green Light again to indicate the
Eyes are back on. When there is a ball break or Eyes are
malfunction, Upper LED Light will flash Green Light. Now press
Top Button to turn off the Eyes and press Top Button again to turn
the back Eyes on to determine the problem. If the Upper LED light
still flash Green Light, clean out the Eyes.

ZeRO SYSTEM

INSTRUCTION AND ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: Never remove the internal of the marker while the
air tank is attached with the marker.

FOR CO2 OPERATION:

NOTE: Zenith is optimized for use with HPA, in order to
optimize the Zenith for CO2 use, please follow the instructions
below.

1. Insert the 3mm allen wrench into the ZeRO Adjustment Screw
(Z001). Turn clockwise two full revolutions.

2. To optimize the velocity, make sure the rear velocity adjustment
is backed all the way out. Adjust the Inline Regulator (refer to
Regulator Adjustment) until the marker is shooting at 250 feet per
second over a chronograph.

3. To fine-tune the marker velocity follow the direction on page 9
(refer to Velocity Adjustment)

FOR HPA OPERATION:

NOTE: Zenith is optimized for HPA use out of the box. Follow
the instructions below only after you have used the CO2
setting and would like to reconfigure for HPA use.

1. Insert the 3mm allen wrench into the ZeRO Adjustment Screw
(Z001). Turn counter-clockwise two full revolutions.

12

®

2. To optimize the velocity, make sure the rear velocity adjustment
is backed all the way out. Adjust the Inline Regulator (refer to
Regulator Adjustment) until the marker is shooting at 250 feet per
second over a chronograph.

3. To fine-tune the marker velocity follow the direction on page 9
(refer to Velocity Adjustment)

ADVANCE ADJUSTMENT:

The ZeRO System is a revolutionary combination of the Feather
Striker and a redesign of the Valve Engine. The ZeRO System is
designed to reduce Mechanical Recoil to a minimum by balancing
the output pressure of the Inline Regulator with the timing of the
ZeRO System.

NOTE: The instructions below are for fine-tuning of the ZeRO
System. Do not attempt unless you have a thorough
understanding of the ZeRO System operation.

1. Insert the 3 mm allen wrench into the ZeRO Adjustment Screw
(Z001).

2. Turning Clockwise will tighten the ZeRO Spring to decrease valve
timing. Refer to Step 2 and 3 from above to fine-tune velocity.

NOTE: Decrease valve timing will increase air efficiency but it
will cause an increase in mechanical recoil.

3. Turning Counter-Clockwise will loosen the ZeRO to increase
valve timing. Refer to Step 2 and 3 from above to fine-tune
velocity.

NOTE: Increase valve timing will decrease air efficiency but it
will cause a decrease in mechanical recoil.

CLEANING AND DISASSEMBLE REAR INTERNALS

1. Lift upward on the Top Cocking Knob at the rear of Delrin Bolt.
This will let the Delrin Bolt (P041) slide out from the rear of the
receiver.

2. Turn the End Cap (A051) counterclockwise. This will let the End

Cap and the marker’s internals to slide out from the rear of the

receiver. Remember to place the marker in the
de-cock position and place light pressure behind the End Cap
during the removal of the End Cap, this way will prevent the
internals to spring out.

3. Slide the Feather Striker (P021) out of the rear of the receiver.

4. Once all the internal parts are removed, use a squeegee to clean
the inside of the receiver and use a towel to clean the dirt or
paint off of Delrin bolt. Apply some paintball gun oil on the Striker
O-Ring regularly.

15

®

REASSEMBLE REAR INTERNALS

1. Insert the Feather Striker (P021) thru the rear of the receiver
with the O-Ring facing towards the front of the marker and
with the hole on the Feather Striker facing upright. While
inserting the Feather Striker, apply pressure behind the Feather
Striker and at the same time pull the Trigger to let Feather
Striker enter the rear chamber of the receiver.

2. Insert the Feather Bumper (P024) thru the receiver and insert
the ZeRO Feather Spring (P025) thru the Feather Bumper.

3. Insert the End Cap (A051) with the Velocity Adjuster (P023)
Thru the Feather Bumper and Feather Spring.

4. Turn the End Cap (A051) clockwise to tighten it and hold the
internals in place.

5. Insert the Bolt Assembly (P041) thru the rear of the receiver.
Press downward on the Top Cocking Knob (At the rear of Bolt
Assembly) to connect and enter the hole of Feather Striker to
fasten with the Feather Striker. Use a small tool such as allen
wrench to align the hole of the Feather Striker.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING: Always remove all paintballs, loader and air tank
before disassembling the marker.

RECOCKING ISSUES

Need Lubrication on the Striker O-Ring (R011).

Striker O-Ring is damaged or missing. Replace a correct O-Ring.

The pressure in the tank is too low and needed to be refilled.

Dirt or broken paintball shell fragments in the receiver. Check,
cleaning, and disassemble rear internals.

AIR LEAKS

Air leaking from the low pressure chamber. Check AZ O-Ring

(R015), replace or need to be oiled.

Air leaking from under the barrel is normally caused by worn or
damaged ZeRO Cup Seal (R013). Check the guide for removal of Cup
Seal / Valve Body.

A scratch on the Valve Body will cause air leak.

Air leaking from the receiver and throughout the Grip frame. Check
Valve O-Rings and replace.
