Paintball markers are not toys. Always treat them as if they are loaded and capable of firing. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in serious injury or death.

• Always wear appropriate eye and face protection specifically designed for paintball when handling or operating the marker.
• Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
• Always engage the safety mechanism when the marker is not in use.
• Use a barrel sock or barrel plug when not actively playing.
• Never look down the barrel of the marker.
• Ensure all air sources are disconnected and the marker is degassed before performing any maintenance or storage.
• Only use compressed air (HPA) with the provided tank and marker. Do not use CO2.
• Do not display this product in public as it may cause confusion and may be a crime. Police or others may mistake this product for a real firearm. Altering the coloration or markings required by state or federal law to make the product look more like a firearm is dangerous and may be a crime.

5.1 Pre-Game Checks

• Ensure your HPA tank is adequately filled.
• Check that your loader has fresh batteries and is filled with paintballs.
• Verify that your barrel is clean and free of obstructions.
• Always wear approved paintball-specific eye and face protection.

5.2 Powering On/Off

1. Marker: The Dye Rize CZR features an LED Circuit Board. Consult the specific marker manual for exact power-on procedures, typically involving holding a button.
2. Loader: Press the power button on the Empire Halo Too loader to turn it on. The loader will begin to agitate and feed paintballs when it senses firing.
3. Air Source: Slowly turn the DYE UL On/Off Airport knob to the 'on' position to pressurize the marker. Listen for any air leaks.

5.3 Firing Modes and Rate of Fire

The Dye Rize CZR features an LED Circuit Board with 4 Tournament Firing Modes. These modes typically include Semi-Automatic, PSP Ramping, Millennium Ramping, and NXL Ramping. Refer to the marker's dedicated manual for instructions on how to cycle through and select different firing modes and adjust the rate of fire (ROF). Always ensure your selected firing mode and ROF comply with field rules and regulations.

5.4 Firing the Marker

1. Ensure the safety is off and the marker is pressurized.
2. Aim at a safe target.
3. Place your finger on the trigger and squeeze to fire.
4. The Empire Halo Too loader will automatically feed paintballs as you fire.

5.5 Reloading

When your loader runs low, quickly grab a pre-filled pod from your Maddog harness. Open the loader's lid, pour the paintballs in, and close the lid. Reinsert the empty pod into the harness or a designated dump pouch.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and reliable performance of your paintball equipment.

6.1 Dye Rize CZR Marker Cleaning & Lubrication

1. Degas Marker: Before any maintenance, ensure the marker is degassed by turning off the HPA tank and firing the marker until all air is expelled.
2. Disassembly: Refer to the Dye Rize CZR specific manual for detailed disassembly instructions, particularly for the bolt and regulator.
3. Cleaning: Use a clean cloth to wipe down the exterior of the marker. Clean the barrel with a barrel swab. Clean the bolt assembly and other internal components, removing any paint residue or dirt.
4. Lubrication: Apply a thin layer of paintball marker grease (included in your package) to all O-rings and moving parts of the bolt assembly. Do not over-lubricate.
5. Reassembly: Reassemble the marker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

6.2 HPA Tank Care

• Re-test Cycle: The 48ci/3000psi HPA tank has a 5-year re-test cycle from its manufactured date stamp. Ensure your tank is re-tested by a certified facility before its expiration date.
• Storage: Store the tank empty and degassed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
• Protection: Keep the regulator's fill nipple covered to prevent dirt and debris from entering.

6.3 Empire Halo Too Loader Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the loader. If paint gets inside, disassemble the shell (tool-less battery door allows access) and clean all internal components thoroughly with a damp cloth, then dry completely.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator activates or when performance degrades.
