PAINTBALL BASIC SAFETY RULES

!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Always cock marker before attaching air or gas source to it. Failure to always cock marker before attaching air to it may cause accidental firing or discharge of paintballs.

Follow the rules of safe marker handling: Keep finger off trigger until ready to shoot. Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction. In addition, firmly insert a barrel plug or barrel bag into the muzzle and push the electronic or mechanical safety “on” when the marker is not in use and when in any nonshooting area.

Paintball markers with electronic frames have extremely sensitive triggers. Take extra safety precautions anytime handling or shooting an electronic paintball marker. To avoid accidentally firing the marker, keep the marker off until you are ready to fire.

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 the marker.

Never aim or shoot a paintball marker (loaded or unloaded) toward any person who is not wearing protective goggles and headgear specifically designed for paintball.

Before disassembly, storage, or transport of the marker, remove all paintballs from the marker, barrel, and loader; remove air source; and remove all gas or air from the marker. Insert barrel plug and put mechanical safety in “no shoot” position.

Carry marker in case or sturdy bag when in public.

Safely and securely store marker to prevent access to it by unauthorized persons.

Safety standards information is available from the American Society for Testing and Materials, 100 Barr Harbor Drive for Paintball Field Operation” is publication F1777-97, and “Standard Specification for Eye Protective Devices for Paintball Sports” is publication F1776-97; inquire about additional publications which may be available at the time your request is made

WWAARRNNIINNG

Every person within range of an area where a paintball marker is in use must wear protective goggles and headgear specifically designed for paintball.

1. Attach threaded barrel firmly to marker.

2. At this time, do not load paintballs into marker.

3. Insert barrel plug firmly into barrel.

4. Pull the cocking knob straight back from the left side of the marker until the cocking mechanism locks back in the cocked position. See Figure 1. Always cock marker before airing it up. During cocking the cocking rod will recoil or spring back forward once released and will only move slightly during marker operation. See Figure 2.

5. Push safety “off” (see page 12), and turn the marker “on” (see page 13) if it is an electronic trigger frame.

6. Squeeze the trigger with an even pressure and listen as the marker un-cocks. The PCS must be charged before operation. See page 15.

WWAARRNNIINNG

Always cock marker before attaching air source. Marker can discharge if air source is attached before marker is cocked.

WWAARRNNIINNG

The marker contains compressed gas or air when pressurized. Never disassemble marker until removing all

gas or air from the system.

Rules for safe handling of compressed gas or air must be followed at all times.

Page 8

operating the pcs™us«5®marker

8. Before attaching air source, read and understand the section in this manual on “Compressed Gas/Air” (Found on page 8 & 9). Follow safety rules for handling compressed gas/air. If any leak occurs in the marker, refer to troubleshooting guide or to a qualified airsmith. Use only cylinders for compressed gas or air that comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to those of the U.S. Department of Transportation, OSHA, Compressed Gas Association, and/or American Society for Testing and Materials.

9. Bottom line: First check the tank O-ring for rips or tears, then attach the air source by screwing the threads of the tank or air source adapter into the threaded bottom line ASA at the base of the grip. Make sure marker is cocked before attaching air. If leaks occur, recheck tank O-ring. If damaged, replace.

WWAARRNNIINNG

When cocking the pressurized marker do not release the cocking knob until after the cocking mechanism has locked back into the cocked position; releasing the cocking knob during cocking can cause the marker to shoot.

10. With goggles on, test for function after attaching air source. Squeeze the trigger. The marker should shoot. Repeat several times.

WWAARRNNIINNG

The PCS™US«5®semi-automatic marker shoots one paintball for each squeeze of the trigger, and recocks itself after each shot. See page 13 if you have a US the different modes of fire.

11. Turn the marker off (AEC version) and push the safety in (both versions). Paintballs may then be loaded.

WWAARRNNIINNG

Before disassembly, storage or transport of the marker, remove air source first, then remove all paintballs from the marker, barrel, and loader. Remove all gas or air from the marker. Insert barrel plug and push the safety in so it is engaged.

COMPRESSED GAS/AIR

The PCS™US«5®paintball marker may be powered by CO2, regulated compressed air, or regulated nitrogen.

The safety rules for handling compressed gas or air must be followed at all times.

OPERATING PRESSURE AND INPUT PRESSURE

• Operating pressure range: 600 to 1000 p.s.i.

• Recommended maximum input pressure is 1000 p.s.i.

• Do not exceed recommended pressures.

Do not leave cylinder or pressurized marker in direct sunlight or exposed to heat source. Increased temperature will increase the pressure of compressed gas or air to dangerous levels.

WWAARRNNIINNG

Do not exceed recommended input or operating pressure.

VALVE-CYLINDER CONNECTION The valve on a cylinder is to remain screwed into the cylinder; Figures 3 and 4. Should it loosen, the cylinder may detach from the valve with extremely dangerous force. Call manufacturer or take to qualified personnel for inspection.

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 cylinder and call manufacturer or take to qualified personnel for inspection.

During filling, if any looseness or leak is detected between the valve and the cylinder, filling must stop immediately. Drain cylinder and call manufacturer or take to qualified personnel for inspection.

Figure 3. Valve-cylinder connection.

Figure 4. Valve-cylinder connection.

Page 10

COMPRESSED AIR/GAS

WWAARRNNIINNG

A compressed gas or air cylinder is a pressure vessel. Follow rules for safe handling of compressed gas or air. All filling of compressed gas or air cylinders, and all repairs to a marker or its components must be performed by qualified personnel.

FILLING COMPRESSED GAS/AIR

An overfill of any compressed gas or air cylinder can cause the safety burst disk (Figure 5) on the cylinder to burst, or the cylinder itself to rupture. A cylinder may rupture with extremely dangerous force. Use a properly rated disk only. Inspect the burst disc for a vent hole. If no hole is present contact a local store or PMI immediately. DO NOT FILL!

A scale must be used for all CO2fills to prevent an overfill. A pressure gauge must be used for all compressed gas or air fills to prevent an overfill.

Fills must be performed by qualified personnel. A cylinder must not be filled beyond the cylinder’s capacity per the U.S. Department of Transportation. A cylinder’s rated capacity appears on the cylinder itself.

Figure 5. Safety burst disk.

WWAARRNNIINNG

Do not overfill any cylinder. An overfill can cause the safety burst disk or the cylinder itself to rupture.

HYDROSTATIC TESTING DATE

Many cylinders are required by the U.S. Department of Transportation to be hydro-tested at periodic intervals, with the interval varying according to cylinder type. The date of the cylinder’s initial or later testing appears on the cylinder. A cylinder that is out of date for hydrostatic testing must not be filled or used.

Page 11

VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT

WWAARRNNIINNG

All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity that is less than 300 feet per second (fps) and that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the paintball park where the marker is in use.

Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the marker is changed, and upon request of any player or game official.

1. Chronograph the marker using standard chronograph procedures and following safety rules. Shooting velocity will vary based upon many factors, such as paint, weather, and air system.

2. Adjust velocity by using a of mark

er. See Figure 6. Turn adjuster clockwise to lower velocity. Turn adjuster counter-clockwise to

8" allen wrench (provided) to turn the velocity adjuster on the right side

raise velocity. See Figure 7. Turning the velocity adjuster changes the amount of air flowing through the valve.

3. Chronograph the marker after every velocity adjustment.

4. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the marker is changed, and upon request of any player or game official.
