WARNING: This paintball marker is not a toy. Always wear eyewear protection

yards of this paintball marker. You must be at least 18 years old to purchase this product.
Any person under 14 years of age should use this paintball marker with adult supervision.
ASTM-STANDARD F1777-97
WARNING: Never shoot at anyone without proper protective equipment for eyes, ears,
throat and head, which must be worn at all times. Protection must be designed
specifically for paintball use. Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in
bodily injury including blindness and deafness.
RULES FOR SAFE HANDLING
* Always wear proper eyewear protection designed specifically for paintball while
handling or within a minimum range of 200 yards of this paintball marker. Never remove
protective eyewear when near playing area.
* Treat every paintball marker as if it were loaded.
* Never point a paintball marker at anyone not wearing the proper paintball eye
protection.
* Always use a barrel plug as well as the safety when not playing.
* Never look down the barrel of the paintball marker. Accidental discharge into the eyes
may cause permanent injury or death.
* Never shoot your paintball marker with the velocity exceeding 300 fps.
* Always measure velocity (speed) before playing paintball.
NOTE: Paintball velocity can be tested at all regulation paintball fields with a
chronograph.
* Only play in a proper paintball facility.
* Avoid shooting any target/opponent closer than 20 feet.
* Never fire your marker at the property of others.
* Do not shoot fragile objects (i.e. windows, lights, etc.)
* Pressurize and load the marker only when the marker will be immediately used. Unload
and remove the CO2 cylinder immediately after use for safe storage.
* Keep exposed skin away from escaping CO2 gas when installing or removing cylinder.
CO2 gas is very cold and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.
* Always store your marker with the air source removed and in a safe location.
* Always remove gas source before disassembly.
* Do not field strip or otherwise disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with gas.
* Store the paintball marker unloaded and degassed in a locked place.
* Follow warnings listed on gas source for handling and storage. Use only .68 caliber
paintballs. Never load or fire any foreign objects.
* Dress appropriately and avoid exposing any skin when playing the game of paintball.
Even a light layer of clothing will absorb some of the impact and protect you from the
paintballs.
* Never consume alcoholic beverages before and during the use of this marker. Handling
markers while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal disregard for public
safety.
* Play Safe! The safety of yourself and others depends on you!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Aldo – I will need a new drawing to go into this section. Do you have anything.
WARNING: Be sure that the marker is always pointed in a safe direction. Read the
following operating instructions and without loading paintballs, proceed several times
through operating steps.
NOTE: Safety goggles must be properly worn at all times to protect eyes, ears, throat and
head when handling this marker. Remember Goggles On!
WARNING: The use of gasses other than CO2 could result in
an explosion or rupture of the marker, causing serious injury.
CAUTION: CO2 bottles or cylinders may explode
at temperatures above 130oF (54.4oC)
PUT ON SAFE:
Push safety from left to right. Make sure barrel plug is placed securely in barrel of
marker.
Attach Power Source (Not included):
Screw power source (CO2 cylinder) into bottom line CO2 feed. Shoot the marker
without the paintballs at a safe target to ensure proper function.
COCK MARKER:
Cock marker by pulling bolt fully back until locked in rear position. This is a
semiautomatic marker, which will re-cock itself after firing. It is only necessary to cock
the marker when installing CO2 bottle, or for initial shot.
DO NOT DRY FIRE THE PAINTBALL MARKER WITHOUT THE POWER
SOURCE ATTACHED.
LOAD PAINTBALLS:
1. Attach any hopper with a 1 inch neck to the vertical feed of the marker.
2. Pour paintballs into the hopper.
NOTE: Paintballs are gravity fed from hopper to the marker each time the trigger is
pulled. Broken paintballs or too many paintballs in hopper may cause subsequent
paintballs to break and will adversely affect the marker’s accuracy.
NOTE: Paintballs should be stored in a cool dry place in sealed plastic bags. Do not
subject to freezing, excessive heat, humidity or store in direct sunlight. These conditions
may cause ball breakage and/or poor feeding performance.
RECOMMENDED: ZAP Extreme Sportz Premium quality
.68 caliber paintballs.
Make sure that the power feed is clean to keep the paintballs from breaking and to feed
the marker smoothly. You do not want any debris in your hopper.
Make sure everyone within a minimum range of 200 yards is properly protected from
paintball impacts.
Remove barrel plug and take off safe by pressing safety from right side of marker.
VERIFY VELOCITY (SPEED): Verify that the marker’s velocity is below 300 feet per
second (fps) or less. Velocity should be measured with a chronograph prior to playing
paintball.
PAINTBALL MARKER IS NOW READY TO FIRE…
WARNING: Proper paintball eye protection should include lower face mask with side ear
protection. Protective gear should be worn at all times while operating or standing within
a minimum range of 200 yards of this paintball marker.

TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Always ensure that the CO2 bottle is removed before any field stripping of
the paintball marker begins.
PROBLEM – AIR LEAKS FROM THE BARREL:
SOLUTION – Check the valve O-ring #40 (#29 for ZXS-440 and 444) or seal on valve
stem #37 (#27 for ZXS-440 and 444). If either is damaged, replace the O-ring or valve
stem, and the leaking will stop. (Follow STEP #2 on page 9 of this manual).
PROBLEM – AIR LEAKS FROM CO2 Bottom Adapter:
SOLUTION – Unscrew the CO2 cylinder and check for a damaged O-ring on the bottle
valve. If the O-ring is damaged, then replace O-ring. Also, check the brass “lip” around
the
O-ring on CO2 cylinder. If dented or pinched, replace entire valve.
PROBLEM – MARKER does not re-cock after
pulling trigger:
SOLUTION – Check the CO2 cylinder and ensure it is filled.
If the problem still persists, check the sear spring #26 (#43 for ZXS-440 and 444) for
damage or collapse. If required, replace sear spring.
