Using a 5/64-inch Allen wrench, remove the two screws from the left side of the rubber grip, and lift the panel open. Attach a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery to the battery clip. Position the battery in the grip frame, tucking the battery wires into the space above the battery. Close the grip and reinstall the screws.

Insert your loader into the feed­neck and make sure it is secure.
Due to the high rates of re that
Shocker NXT can achieve, we recommend the use of a modern high-performance loader.

Screw the included barrel into the Shocker NXT. Put the supplied barrel blocker over the end of the barrel, securing its cord as far back on the Shocker NXT body as possible, and cinching it tight.
Gently gas up the Shocker NXT by slowly turning on the air
system or ASA’s on/off valve,
or slowly screwing the CO2 or compressed air system into the ASA.
A gentle rise in pressure is important, as a sudden blast may reduce the service life of
the Shocker NXT’s internals.
Have your compressed air (HPA) or CO2 tank lled by
a person who is properly trained to do so. If using an
HPA system with an on/off
valve, such as the Max-Flo or Max-Flo Micro, make sure it is in the OFF position. If using a screw-in style preset
HPA tank, or CO2 tank, an
ASA with a built in on/off valve is recommended.
Turn on the Shocker NXT by holding the power button down for approximately 1 second. The Shocker NXT will chirp and the power button will glow continu­ously to show that it is on and in Vision mode. If you need to
disable Vision mode to re gas
without paint, push the button once again, and the power button will blink in a double-tap sequence. Press and hold the power button for approximately 2 seconds to turn the Shocker NXT off, this acts as an elec­tronic safety.

Fill the loader with paint and turn it on. While wearing ASTM compliant paintball goggles in an area where all bystanders are protected, remove the barrel blocker and re over a
chronograph to measure the velocity. Using a 3/32-inch Allen wrench, loosen the velocity lock screw near the bottom of the vertical regulator and adjust it with a 5/8-inch open-end wrench or adjustable wrench. Turn clockwise to increase velocity/pressure, and counter-clockwise to decrease. Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas
pressure inside the Shocker NXT to stabilize. Adjust until the Shocker NXT is ring consistently within the limits for the eld where you are playing (for safety reasons, never adjust the Shocker NXT to re at greater than 300 feet per second.) As you adjust, check the Shocker NXT’s pressure gauge to be certain you stay within the Shocker NXT’s operating limits of 180 to 220 psi. Lock the velocity setting by tightening the velocity lock screw. Depending on what modes of re are allowed at the eld where you are playing (semi-auto­matic, rebound, etc.) you may need to adjust the Shocker NXT’s Rebound setting. See the Rebound Adjustment section for more information. Shoot out the competition, hang the

MAINTENANCE
The Shocker NXT has been designed with simplicity in mind so that you can con­centrate on your game instead of your marker. It has a minimal number of moving parts and seals so that you can maintain
the marker with little effort. This DOES
NOT mean that you should neglect your Shocker NXT. If you take care of it off the
eld, your Shocker NXT will take care of you on the eld. For best performance,
clean and grease your Shocker NXT fre­quently. Many players clean their Shock­ers after every use. While this may seem a bit extreme, being vigilant in the upkeep of your Shocker NXT will extend its use­ful life considerably. Playing in the rain will not damage your Shocker NXT, but you
should NEVER immerse it in water. If your
Shocker NXT should become waterlogged, remove the barrel and rubber grips and allow it to dry out, then follow the disas­sembly instructions for full cleaning. Clean out mud and paint with a damp cloth and
alcohol. Grease the Shocker NXT ONLY with SL33K pneumatic grease. Use high
quality paintballs.

BARREL BLOCKER
The Barrel Blocking Device is a critical piece of paintball safety equipment - nearly as important as
paintball goggles. The Barrel Blocker serves to protect against accidental discharge of a paintball by catching it before it can cause harm. A Barrel Blocker is included with the Shocker NXT and must be used every time it is handled in an area where people or property are not properly protected by
paintball goggles or paintball eld netting. To use the Barrel Blocker simply slip it over the end of the barrel and stretch its cord back over the back of the Shocker NXT’s gripper (the extension on the back of the body) or the rearmost part over which it can be securely looped. Use the strap’s adjuster
to cinch the strap tight, so that the Barrel Blocker can provide protection against accidental discharge of a paintball.
The Barrel Blocker should only be removed when the Shocker NXT is on a “live” paintball eld and all
persons involved are wearing proper paintball protection.
HOPPER
The Shocker NXT is a high performance tournament grade paintball marker. The break-beam Vision
system means that you won’t need to worry about chopping paint because your trigger nger is faster than your hopper. However, if you want to realize the Shocker NXT’s maximum repower potential, you will need to use a high performance loader. High performance loaders, especially those which
provide force-feeding, will yield the best results with the Shocker NXT.
Depending on the dimensions of your hopper you may choose to remove one or more of the friction o-rings from inside the Shocker NXT’s feed tube, and or to sand down the hopper’s feed neck. The t
should be snug, but not excessively tight. Always twist hoppers clockwise when installing or remov­ing, to avoid unscrewing the feedtube from the Shocker NXT body.

Never put oil in a compressed air regulator or tank—only apply manufacturer specied lubricants.
GASES
The Shocker NXT is a low-pressure paintgun. It operates in the range of 180 to 220 psi, which means it
can function well with either compressed air or CO2 as a power source. Proper set up of your gas sys-
tem will help you obtain the best possible performance from your Shocker NXT.
High Pressure Air systems (HPA) are the most common power source used with the Shocker NXT, as they are unaffected by temperature uctuations and do not have the potential for liquid problems. HPA systems consist of a tank and a regulator, and are typically rated to store air or nitrogen (while nitrogen
is almost never used in paintball, many players call compressed air “nitro” as air is made of more than
70% nitrogen) at pressures of 3,000 or 4,500 psi.
There are two main types of HPA systems, those on which the output pressure is adjustable, and those for which their regulator is pre-set to a xed output pressure. HPA systems designed to screw into an ASA are usually pre-set to deliver either 400 psi (low pressure output) or 800 psi (high pressure output.)
Never use oil or any petroleum based cleaner or lubricant in a compressed air regulator or tank. Ex-
posure to pressurized air increases oil’s ammability and can cause a serious safety hazard. Only use manufacturer recommended lubricants with compressed air systems, and follow the manufacturer’s
maintenance and operation instructions explicitly. If you are using your Shocker NXT with an adjust-
able output compressed air system, it should be adjusted to deliver about 650 psi to the Shocker NXT’s vertical regulator. The Shocker’s regulator can accommodate a wide range of input pressures, so exact adjustment of the air system is not critical, and either low output, or high output pre-set HPA systems
may be used as well.
While CO2 can also be used, it is less popular, since its pressure uctuates with temperature and use. The important thing to remember when using CO2 is that liquid CO2 must not be delivered to the Shock­er NXT. If liquid CO2 were to make it past the Shocker’s regulator, it could expand into gas form inside the paintgun, raising the pressure levels high enough to cause damage to internal seals or the solenoid valve. Because liquid CO2 is heavier than CO2 gas, it is easily blocked through the use of gravity.

Two easy ways to properly use CO2 with the Shocker NXT are an anti-siphon tank or a remote line.
Anti-siphon tanks have a J shaped tube professionally installed inside. When the tank is screwed
into a bottom line ASA, like the one that is standard on the Shocker NXT, with their anti-siphon side
up, the tube delivers gas only. The anti-siphon tube works like a diver’s snorkel, repositioning the gas
intake from the valve to the top side of the tank.
A remote hose allows a standard (non-siphoned) CO2 tank to be carried in a player’s pack. Not only
does this make the total weight of the Shocker NXT less, but it also allows the tank to be placed verti­cally, so that its valve is at the top, while gravity holds the liquid CO2 at the bottom. It is important to
note, that lying down on the eld, or crawling while using a remote can cause liquid CO2 to be fed to
the paintgun as the tank is turned on its side.
Whether using compressed air or CO2 it is important that the Shocker NXT is not exposed to sudden
“pops” of pressure. If using a standard ASA with a screw in HPA system or CO2 tank, screw the tank
in slowly, so that the valve opens slowly, and the pressure rises gently. If using an ASA with a built in
on/off valve, screw in the tank fully, then open the valve slowly. If using an HPA system or CO2 tank
with its own on/off valve, open that valve slowly. Be gentle to the internals of your Shocker NXT and they will reward you with a long service life.

The Shocker NXT offers multiple options for mounting compressed air systems or CO2 tanks. Located on the bottom of the grip frame are a pair of industry standard 10-32 screw holes which can be used to mount a bottom-line ASA, an S-Rail, or drop forward. Additionally, a 1/2-inch dovetail rail is ma-
chined into the bottom of the frame to allow direct mounting of dovetail accessories.
To use the dovetail rail, rst use a 5/64-inch Allen wrench to remove two screws from the Shocker NXT’s rubber grips, and open one side of the grip. Remove and unplug the 9-volt battery from inside the grip frame. Look into the forward screw hole on the bottom of the grip. A 10-32 set screw is
included preinstalled in your Shocker NXT. If it has been removed, you may re-install it by screwing
it into the hole from the bottom of the grip frame, head rst. When the set screw is in too far to keep
screwing it in by hand, use a 3/32-inch Allen wrench to screw it in further from the inside of the grip
frame. Screw the set screw in, until its bottom is ush with the dovetail rail. Slide a Max-Flo Micro, or
other accessory onto the rail, and then use your Allen wrench to lock the set screw, securing the ac­cessory. Close up the grips and return their screws into place with the Allen wrench.
When mounting a different gas accessory or drop forward that uses dual mounting screws instead of the rail, the set screw will need to be removed by a similar process.
