• Confirm that the marker is fully assembled.
• Ensure you have a specifically designed barrel-blocking device in place.
• Make sure there are no paintballs in the marker.
• The marker should be set to Safe Mode.
Installing Tank
• While pointing the marker in a safe
direction, locate the ASA (air source
adapter). The D*Fender’s ASA is located
on the bottom of the grip frame.
• Move the On/Off lever to the
forward position.
• Insert the threaded end of the air cylinder
into the ASA (Fig 3.5).
• Without pushing, twist the cylinder clockwise and allow the threads to draw the cylinder
into the marker’s ASA until it stops.
• Flip the On/Off lever to the back position.
• Your marker is now pressurized.
Loading Paintballs:
The D*Fender uses .68 caliber paintballs, readily available at paintball pro-shops,
commercial playing fields, and many sporting goods stores. The paintballs are fed from the
loader area, through the internal feed ramp, and into the breech of the marker.
• Make sure the marker is set to “Safe Mode”, power Off and barrel blocking device on.
• Put on an eye protective device designed specifically for paintball and make sure that
anyone within range of the marker does the same.
3. BASIC OPERATION (Cont’d)
Compressed Air/Nitrogen Supply:
The D*Fender is designed to work with High Pressure Air (HPA)/Compressed Air only.
Do NOT use CO

, as it will damage your D*Fender marker.
Consult the place where you purchased your D*Fender, or a recognized and competent air
smith, for instruction in the safe handling of compressed-air cylinders before purchasing or
connecting one to your D*Fender marker.
The D*Fender utilizes a fully functional regulator at the bottom of the grip frame that doubles
as an ASA (Air Source Adapter) for a standard threaded pre-set output compressed air
system. If you are using an adjustable
output tank regulator system, the recommended
output pressure should be between 400-500 psi.
WARNING:
• Remember compressed air and nitrogen systems cylinders can be extremely
dangerous if misused or improperly handled. Use only cylinders meeting
D.O.T., TC or regionally defined specifications.
• Never disassemble your tank or tank regulator. Only a qualified and trained
technician should perform work on your tank and tank regulator.
• Never add any lubricants or greases into the fill adapter on your
tank regulator.
Compressed Air Tank Installation:
Before Installing Tank
• Check to make sure that you and anyone within range are wearing eye protection designed
specifically for paintball.
• Double check that all screws are tightened and no parts are loose before
installing your tank.
