STEP ONE
CHARGE THE BATTERY (INCLUDED)
MAKE SURE THE LUXE®’S INTERNAL LITHIUM-POLYMER
BATTERY is fully charged. Open the rubber grip from
the left side your Luxe®and connect the charger to the
charging port before plugging the charger into a domestic
electrical outlet. The included charger will operate on
either 110 or 240 volt standard AC power. The LED on
the charger will glow when it is plugged in and receiving
power, whether it is charging a Luxe®or not. The Luxe®
X is compatible with standard USB and USB-C chargers,
allowing it to be charged directly from a portable phone
power pack, car USB power source, laptop computer or
other USB compliant power supply. The battery may also
be removed and charged separately with the optional
Luxe®battery charger. The battery may also be removed
and charged separately with the optional Luxe®battery
charger. It must be fully seated in the grip frame for on-
board charging.
STEP THREE AFFIX THE BARREL BLOCKER
(INCLUDED)
ASSEMBLE THE LUXE®BARREL (see HARDWARE 3.4)and
screw it into your Luxe®. Slide the included barrel blocker
over the barrel and secure its cord as far back on the Luxe®
body as possible, cinching it tight. The barrel blocker is
a critical piece of paintball safety equipment—nearly as
important as paintball goggles. The barrel blocker must be
fully seated on the marker's muzzle and secured in place
with its strap any time the marker is stored or handled
in an area where people are not properly protected by
paintball goggles or paintball field netting.
ORIENTATION 1.1 QUICK START
WELCOME TO THE LUXE®EXPERIENCE. Follow these simple steps to get your new Luxe®marker up and running in no time.
STEP TWO REINSTALL THE GRIP
REINSTALL THE LUXE®’S RUBBER GRIP by first sliding
its tab into the slots on either side of the grip frame, then
pop it back in place over the 2 snap grip screws and 2 grip
screws on the opposing side of the grip. Ensure that the
battery wedge extending from the center of the grip fills
the small gap above the top of the battery, locking it in
place.

STEP FIVE INSTALL YOUR LOADER (SOLD
SEPARATELY)
THE ANTI-CHOP VISION™ SYSTEM IN YOUR LUXE®will
allow it to work with any loader. Best performance and
highest rate of fire however, will only be possible with a
high performance force-feed loader system. Open the
marker's locking feedneck by pulling the lock lever away
from the neck, then insert the loader and secure it in place
by folding the lever back to its locked position. Loader
necks vary in size from brand to brand. If the loader does
not fit securely or the lock lever does not easily close,
see Orientation 1.3 in this manual for feedneck clamp
adjustment instructions.
STEP SIX TURN ON AIR
GENTLY GAS UP YOUR LUXE® BY SLOWLY PULLING the
Luxe®bottom-line charging handle back to the on position,
folding it into the body of the ASA. This will depress the
valve pin on your air system.
A GENTLE RISE IN PRESSURE IS IMPORTANT, AS A SUDDEN
BLAST MAY REDUCE THE SERVICE LIFE OF PRESSURE SEALS
WITHIN YOUR LUXE®.
The Luxe®bottom-line charging handle must be turned
off (pulled out) before removing screw-in compressed air
systems.
AIR OFF
AIR ON
STEP FOUR FILL & INSTALL YOUR AIR
TANK (SOLD SEPARATELY)
YOUR LUXE®IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE PROPERLY
with high pressure compressed air (HPA—also commonly
referred to in paintball as nitrogen or nitro) as its
power source. Have your air system filled, following its
manufacturer’s directions. Pull the Luxe®bottom-line
charging handle out and forward to the off position, then
screw the air system into the back of the ASA.

STEP SEVEN POWER ON YOUR LUXE®MARKER
TURN THE MARKER ON BY DOUBLE-CLICKING (quickly pressing twice) the power button, or
by holding it down for two seconds. Turn it off by pressing and holding the power button for two
seconds. When the Luxe®turns on, the OLED display will be activated, indicating the marker's
status.
ALTHOUGH THE POWER BUTTON SERVES AS THE LUXE®’S SAFETY SWITCH TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
FIRING, IT SHOULD NEVER BE RELIED UPON IN PLACE OF A BARREL BLOCKER AND PROPER PAINTBALL
EYE PROTECTION.
STEP EIGHT ADJUST LUXE® VELOCITY
FILL THE HOPPER WITH PAINTBALLS and turn it on. While wearing ASTM compliant paintball
goggles, in an area where all bystanders are protected, remove the barrel blocker and fire
over a chronograph to measure the velocity. Using a 5/32-inch allen wrench on the adjuster
in the bottom of the vertical regulator, turn clockwise to increase velocity/pressure, and
counterclockwise to decrease. Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas
pressure inside your Luxe®to stabilize before firing over the chronograph again to check velocity.
Adjust until the marker is firing consistently within the limits for the field where you are playing.
NEVER ADJUST YOUR LUXE®TO FIRE AT GREATER THAN 300 FEET PER SECOND.

ORIENTATION 1.2 INSTALLING THE BARREL BLOCKER
THE BARREL BLOCKING DEVICE IS A CRITICAL PIECE of paintball safety equipment—nearly as important
as paintball goggles. The Barrel Blocker serves to protect against accidental discharge of a paintball by
catching it before it can cause harm. A Barrel Blocker is included with the Luxe®and must be used every time
it is handled in an area where people or property are not properly protected by paintball goggles or paintball
field netting. To use the Barrel Blocker simply slip it over the end of the barrel and stretch its cord back over
the rear of the Luxe® [FIG. 1] Use the strap’s adjuster to cinch the strap tight, so that the Barrel Blocker can
provide protection against accidental discharge of a paintball.
THE BARREL BLOCKER SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED WHEN THE LUXE®IS ON A “LIVE” PAINTBALL FIELD AND ALL
PERSONS INVOLVED ARE WEARING PROPER PAINTBALL PROTECTION.
OR IENTATIO N 1. 4 HANDLING THE LiPo BATTERY
INCLUDED WITH YOUR LUXE®IS A RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM-POLYMER BATTERY. The battery may be
removed for inspection, charging with the optional Luxe®battery charger or for a quick-change with a fully
charged battery. For battery removal instructions, see the Hardware section of this manual.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE BATTERY IN LIQUID. STORE IN A COOL, DRY ENVIRONMENT WHEN NOT IN USE. DO
NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY DIRECTLY TO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET. DO NOT STRIKE OR THROW THE BATTERY
AGAINST A HARD SURFACE. DO NOT MODIFY, PIERCE, OR SOLDER NEW CONNECTIONS TO THE BATTERY. STORE
AND TRANSPORT THE BATTERY IN A CASE WHICH PROTECTS IT FROM DAMAGE OR CONTACT WITH SHARP OR
METAL OBJECTS WHEN NOT IN USE. BATTERY DAMAGE MAY LEAD TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION. IF THE BATTERY
LEAKS, AVOID CONTACT WITH FLUIDS. IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT DO NOT RUB, RINSE WITH CLEAN RUNNING
WATER AND SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF THE BATTERY SWELLS, EMITS SMOKE OR GIVES OFF AN
ODOR, DISCONNECT IT AND CONTACT A BATTERY RECYCLER FOR DISPOSAL ADVICE. DO NOT THROW USED
BATTERIES IN THE TRASH, TURN THEM OVER TO A BATTERY RECYCLING PROGRAM (COLLECTION POINTS ARE
FOUND AT MANY HARDWARE STORES AND HOME CENTERS).
ORIENTATION 1.3 SELECTING AND INSTALLING A LOADER
YOUR LUXE®IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE PROFESSIONAL GRADE PAINTBALL MARKER. Although its Vision
anti-chop system will allow it to operate properly with any paintball loader without fear of chopping paint, a high-
end forced-feed loader must be used to achieve high rates of fire.
The Luxe®is equipped with a locking feedneck which allows it to adapt to variance in hopper neck sizes and
to release hoppers quickly when desired, but hold them securely on the field [FIG. 2] Pulling the lock lever
away from the feedneck moves it to the open, or unlocked position. While it is open the locking mechanism
may be adjusted by turning its knurled knob, or using a 1/8-inch allen wrench if it is stiff. Turning clockwise
will cause the feedneck to grip tighter, while turning it counterclockwise will result in a better fit for larger
hopper necks. Place the hopper in the feedneck, and secure it by closing the lever. If the latch is difficult to
close, do not force it. Instead, open it fully, then turn the adjuster counter-clockwise and try again until you
have adjusted for a perfect fit.
OVER-TIGHTENING THE FEED NECK CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO ITS LATCHING MECHANISM. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

BASIC GUIDE TO THE
LUXE®INTEGRATED AIR SYSTEM
INTEGRATED AIR DESIGN
The Luxe®X Integrated Air design means that
there are no hoses on the outside or inside of
the marker. Hoses and hose fittings are the most
common places for leaks to occur in paintball
markers. Air passages machined into the Luxe®
grip frame and body eliminate these possible
failure points, making the Luxe®X more reliable.
VERTICAL REGULATOR
The Integrated Air vertical regulator is the cul-
mination of more than a decade's worth of
design, testing and field experience. It delivers
the high flow rates and consistent output pres-
sure that the Luxe®X needs to compete at the
professional level. Its unique bi-directional ASA
connection allows it to work with the Luxe®X
Integrated Air system.
05

AIR 2 .1 ABOUT COMPRESSED AIR
YOUR LUXE®IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE ON HIGH-PRESSURE AIR (HPA) which is stored in cylinders
(tanks) at pressures of up to 3,000 or 4,500 psi [FIG. 1] The storage cylinder, along with the regulator
mounted in its neck forms an HPA system. There are two main types of HPA systems, those on which the
regulator’s output pressure is adjustable, and those for which their regulator is pre-set to deliver a fixed
output pressure. HPA systems designed to screw into an ASA are usually pre-set to provide 400 psi (low
pressure output) or 800 psi (high pressure output.) Best performance can be achieved between 450 and
550 psi.
DO NOT USE CO2WITH YOUR LUXE®. USE THE LUXE®ONLY WITH COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS FEATURING TWO
BURST DISKS, ONE FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE SIDE OF THE REGULATOR, AND AN 1800 PSI RATED BURST DISK
FOR THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF THE REGULATOR. THE 1800 PSI (ALSO SOMETIMES MARKED 1.8K) PROVIDES
CRITICAL PROTECTION IN CASE OF A REGULATOR LEAK, AND ITS ABSENCE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LUXE®
AND OR SERIOUS INJURY.
If you are using your Luxe®with an adjustable output compressed air system, it should be set to deliver
about 650 psi. The Luxe®vertical regulator can accommodate a wide range of input pressures, and lower
them to the marker’s operating pressure, so exact adjustment of the air system is not critical, and either
low output, or high output pre-set HPA systems may be used. If using a screw-in style air system, the Luxe®
on/off bottom-line or similar is recommended, as the on/off control is important for proper set-up and
degassing.
NEVER USE OIL OR ANY PETROLEUM BASED CLEANER OR LUBRICANT IN A COMPRESSED AIR REGULATOR OR
CYLINDER. 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.
Regardless of the type of air system used, be sure to turn it on by slowly opening its control valve (either
on the HPA system, or on/off bottom-line, depending on the configuration) so that the gas pressure in the
Luxe®rises gently, rather than jumping to full pressure. Slower pressurization will maximize the service
life of the seals and low pressure components in the Luxe®. The Luxe®offers multiple options for mounting
compressed air systems. Located on the bottom of the grip frame are a pair of industry standard 10-32
screw holes for air system mounting. Located forward and to the side of these holes is the Luxe®grip
integrated gas port. A small o-ring sitting in a recess at the gas port provides an airtight seal.
DEGAS AND UNLOAD THE LUXE®BEFORE MAKING ANY AIR SYSTEM CHANGES.

AIR 2.2 INSTALLING AN AIR SYSTEM
WHEN MOUNTING THE BOTTOM-LINE ADAPTER DIRECTLY TO YOUR LUXE®GRIP FRAME, it must first be
disassembled by unscrewing and removing its pivot pin with a 1/16-inch allen wrench [FIG. 3].The charging
handle and actuating pin will then be free to slide out the front of the ASA. The actuating pin should be very
lightly lubricated with GR33SE™ before it is reinstalled.
The ASA may be removed by first taking out the charging handle and actuating pin then sliding a 5/32-inch
allen wrench through each of the access holes in the bottom of the ASA into the heads of the ASA mount
screws [FIG.4] and unscrewing them. Once the ASA is free from the grip frame, its mount screws may be
slid through the central slot one at a time towards the center hole and lifted out the top.
When installing a new air system, accessory or mount, the grip must be removed and the battery removed
from the Luxe®(see HARDWARE 3.6.) Only use mounting screws which will reach through the air system,
accessory or mount, and fully engage the screw threads in the grip frame, but not extend into the open
space of the grip frame far enough that they interfere with the placement of the battery. Installing mount
screws while the battery is removed will ensure that a screw which is too long does not accidentally damage
the lithium-polymer battery
AIR 2.3 REGULATOR GRIP PANEL
THE REGULATOR GRIP PANEL ON YOUR LUXE®CAN BE REMOVED to service the integrated air regulator
or simply to swap it out for another color or style.
Use a 3/8-inch allen wrench to unscrew the integrated air cover lock from the bottom of the foregrip. Once
the cover lock is removed, you may then lift out the grip panel by pulling forward from the bottom [FIG. 5].
The top of the grip panel will pivot and then release. When reinstalling the grip panel, seat the alignment pin
at its top first, then swing it into position before securing it with the cover lock.
