PLANET ECLIPSE GSL User manual

• Please read and understand all instruction manuals before use.
• The Eclipse GSL is not a toy. PAINTBALL SAFETY RULES MUST
BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES.
• Careless or improper use, including failure to follow instructions
and warnings within this User Manual and attached to the GSL
could cause death or serious injury.
• Do not remove or deface any warnings attached to the GSL.
• 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
the user and any person within range. Proper protection must be
worn during assembly, cleaning and maintenance.
• Hearing protection should be worn.
• Never shoot at a person who is not wearing proper protection.
• Never look directly into the barrel of the marker. Accidental
discharge into the eyes may cause permanent injury or death.
Never look into the barrel or breech area of the GSL whilst the
marker is switched on and able to fire.
• Keep the GSL switched off until ready to shoot.
• Treat every marker as if it is loaded and ready to fire.
• The electronic on/off is the markers safety, always switch off the
marker when not in use.
• Always fit a barrel-blocking device to the GSL when not in use.
• Always remove all paintballs from the GSL when not in use on the
field of play.
• Never point the GSL at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Do not shoot at persons within close range.
• Do not field strip or remove any parts while the marker is
pressurised.
• Do not pressurise the GSL without all the components of the
marker correctly installed, as high-pressure gas may be emitted.
• Do not fire the GSL without the bolt correctly installed.
• Never put your finger or any foreign objects into the paintball feed
tube of the GSL.
• Never allow pressurised gas to come into contact with any part
of your body.
• Always remove the first stage regulator and relieve all residual
gas pressure from the GSL before disassembly.
• Always remove the first stage regulator and relieve all residual
gas pressure from the GSL for transport and storage.
• Always follow guidelines given with your first stage regulator for
safe transportation and storage.
• Always store the GSL in a secure place.
• Persons under 18 years of age must have adult supervision when
using or handling the GSL.
• Observe all local and national laws, regulations and guidelines.

WARNING
2 Warnings

• Use only professional paintball fields where codes of safety are
strictly enforced.
• Use compressed air/nitrogen only. Do not use any other
compressed gas or pressurised liquid including CO2.
• Always follow instructions, warnings and guidelines given with
any first stage regulator you use with the GSL.
• Use 0.68 inch calibre paintballs only.
• Always measure your marker’s 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 than local or national laws allow.
• Any installations, modifications or repairs should be carried
out by a qualified individual at a licensed and insured paintball
facility.

MAKE SURE THE MARKER IS TURNED OFF WITH A BARREL BLOCKING DEVICE INSTALLED AND THAT NO PAINTBALLS
ARE IN THE MARKER OR LOADER BEFORE INSTALLING AN AIR SYSTEM.
COMPRESSED AIR AND NITROGEN SYSTEMS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF
HANDLED OR USED INCORRECTLY.
ONLY USE AN AIR SYSTEM CERTIFIED FOR USE WITHIN THE TERRITORY OF INTENDED USE.
THE GSL CANNOT BE USED WITH CO2. ONLY USE COMPRESSED AIR OR NITROGEN.
NEVER ADD ANY LUBRICANTS OR GREASES INTO THE FILL ADAPTER OF THE AIR SYSTEM REGULATOR
ENSURE THAT ALL SCREWS ARE TIGHTENED AND NO PARTS ARE LOOSE BEFORE INSTALLING AN AIR SYSTEM.
DO NOT PRESSURISE THE GSL WITHOUT THE BOLT SYSTEM CORRECTLY INSTALLED, AS HIGH PRESSURE GAS WILL BE
EMITTED.
DO NOT INSTALL A COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM OR LOAD PAINTBALLS INTO THE GSL UNTIL YOU FEEL COMPLETELY
CONFIDENT WITH YOUR ABILITY TO HANDLE THE MARKER SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY.
ALWAYS RELIEVE ALL RESIDUAL GAS PRESSURE FROM THE GSL BEFORE UNSCREWING THE PRESET AIR SYSTEM.
