1. FAN WARNING ADHERE STRICTLY TO THESE AND ALL OTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES Warnings for safe Etek Ego handling The Etek Ego is not a toy Careless or improper use including failure to follow instructions and warnings within this User Manual and attached to the Etek Ego could cause death or serious injury Do not remove or deface any warnings attached to the Etek Ego Paintball industry standard eye face ear and head protection designed specifically to stop paintballs and meeting ASTM standard F1776 USA or CE standard Europe must be worn by user and any person within range Persons under 18 years of age must have adult supervision when using or handling the Etek Ego Observe all local and national laws regulations and guidelines Use only professional paintball fields where codes of safety are strictly enforced Use compressed air nitrogen only Do not use Co2 Always follow instructions warnings and guidelines given with any first stage regulator you use with the Etek Ego Use 0 68 calibre paintballs only Keep the Etek Ego switched off until ready to shoot Treat every marker as if it is loaded Never point the Etek Ego at anything you do not intend to shoot Do not shoot at persons at close range Always measure your markers velocity before playing paintball using a suitable chronograph Never shoot at velocities in excess of 300 feet 91 44 meters per second or at velocities greater than2. SETTING UP Before you can begin to use your Etek Ego there are a few necessary components that are required to enable the Etek Ego to function namely an air system and a loader of your choice NOTE THE ETEK EGO CANNOT BE USED WITH CO2 IT CAN ONLY BE POWERED BY COMPRESSED AIR OR NITROGEN INSTALLING A PRESET AIR SYSTEM Every Etek Ego comes complete with an Eclipse On Off Purge System OOPS allowing a preset regulator and tank to be screwed straight in for immediate use Before screwing the preset into the OOPS ensure that the On Off knob is wound out approximately half way SEE FIGURE 3 1 Be careful not to unscrew the On Off knob too far as it will come completely out of the OOPS If this happens replace the On Off knob by screwing it back into the OOPS body in a clockwise direction Screw the preset air system into the OOPS System SEE FIGURE 3 2 so that the bottle screws in all the way and is tight Slowly turn the On Off knob in a clockwise direction allowing the i On Off knob System to depress the pin of the preset air system causing the Etek Ego to become pressurized providing that there is sufficient air in your tank SEE FIGURE 3 31 You have novv installed a preset air system onto your Etek Ego LU NOTE WHEN USING AN OOPS ON YOUR ETEK EGO THE ETEK EGO WILL STILL HAVE STORED AIR IN THE VALVE CHAMBER GAS LINE AND INLINE REGULATOR AFTER YOU HAVE TURNED THE OOPS OFF PLEASE REMEMBER TO DIS
