NEVER PUT OIL IN A COMPRESSED AIR REGULATOR OR
TANK - ONLY APPLY MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED
LUBRICANTS.
COMPRESSED AIR
The eXTCy TM
is a low-pressure paintgun. It operates at approximately 160 psi, which means it is capable of
functioning well with either high-pressure compressed air or CO
2
as a power source. Proper set up of your
gas system will help you obtain the best possible performance from your eXTCy
TM
.
Whether using compressed air or CO
2
it is important that the eXTCy
TM
is not exposed to sudden “pops”
of pressure. Always turn-on or screw-in a compressed air system or CO
2
slowly, so that the valve opens
slowly and the gas pressure inside the marker is raised smoothly. Be gentle to the internals of your
eXTCy
TM
and they will reward you with a long service life.
High Pressure Air systems (HPA) are the preferred power source used in paintball and with the eXTCy
TM
because they are unaffected by temperature fluctuations 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
at pressures of 3,000 or 4,500 psi. Although pure nitrogen is almost never used in paintball, many players
call compressed air “nitro” as air is made up of more than 70% nitrogen, allowing the two gasses to be
used interchangeably in paintball equipment.
The eXTCy
TM
is configured for use with screw-in style HPA systems. Although HPA systems pre-set to
deliver approximatly 400 psi (low output) will work with the eXTCy
TM
, 800 psi (high output) systems are
preferred, to reduce the risk of gas starvation under rapid fire.
Never use oil or any petroleum based cleaner or lubricant in a compressed air regulator or tank. Exposure to
pressurized air increases oil’s flammability 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 eXTCy
TM
with an adjustable output compressed air system, it should be set to deliver
about 800 psi. The eXTCy
TM
’s vertical regulator can accommodate a wide range of input pressures, so
exact adjustment of the air system is not critical.

NOTICE
Due to shipping restrictions, CO
2
and HPA tanks are sold empty. They must be filled before they can be
used. Most paintball shops and fields are equipped to fill HPA tanks. Paintball shops, fields, many hardware
stores and sporting goods stores will have the equipment and trained personnel to fill paintball CO
2
tanks.
The eXTCy
TM
is factory configured for use with
CO
2
. Its dwell setting must be changed to obtain
optimum performance with HPA. See the Firing
Modes / Dwell section of this manual to learn how.
NOTICE
04
Although the eXTCy
TM
can be powered by
compressed air, typical home, garage or industrial
air compressors cannot provide the high pressures
required to fill a paintball HPA tank. Paintball HPA
systems can be refilled by paintball fields and
stores which use higher pressure compressors
similar to those used in the SCUBA and firefighting
industries.
