QUICK START UP GUIDE
Before playing with your new RIZE ™paintball marker there are a few
important steps to take.
STEP 1. BATTERY INSTALLATION
A . Remove three right hand side grip p anel screws with a 3/ 32” allen key.
B. Open grip panel and install 9V battery into the connector inside the frame. Start
by inserting the top of the battery into the recess and aligning the battery terminals
with the contacts on the board, then pushing the bottom of the battery fully into
place. Ensure that the battery removal ribbon leaves a small tail accessible from
under battery when installed to aid for easy battery removal. Note the markings
above the battery housing which indicate which of the board contacts are positive
and negative and install the battery accordingly.
C. Close grip p anel and tighten the three screws back. W hile closing the p anel
ob serve that no wires g et caught b etween the frame and the g rip p anel.
STEP 2. BARREL INSTALLATION
A . Screw on the barrel to the front of the RIZE ™. Make sure it thread s all the
way in and is secure.
B. Attach the b arrel plug so that it covers the tip o f the b arrel and secure
the g un.
STEP 3. LOADER INSTALLATION
STEP 4 . ATTACHING GAS SOURCE
Screw on a p reset air system into the airport located o n the b ottom of the g rip
frame.
Be sure the air system is screwed in all the way into the A irport. If there is a leak
from the airport when screwing in the air system, replace the o- ring on the p reset
reg ulator.
STEP 5. TURNING ON THE RAIL™AND CHECKING THE VELOCITY
A . Make sure you and everybody around you is wearing A STM / CE app roved
paintb all masks.
B. Press and hold the to p b utton located b ehind the g rip frame until the RA IL™
turns o n. WARNING, THE RAIL™IS LIVE. MAKE SURE BARREL PLUG IS IN PLACE
AND DO NOT POINT THE RAIL™AT ANYTHING YOU DON’T INTEND TO SHOOT.
C. F ill up the load er with .68 caliber paintb alls.
D. Shoot the RA IL™over a chrono g raph to check the velocity. If ad justment is
need ed, adjust the velocity by turning the Hyp er3™velocity ad justment screw with
a 3/ 16” allen key. In ( cloc kwise) will red uce t he veloc ity and o ut ( co un ter cloc kwise)
will increase the velocity. A fter each ad justment it takes a few shots before the
change can b e seen on the chrono g rap h. Never ad just the RA IL™to shoot faster
than 30 0 fps or what the field rules / local laws permit.

GREEN - Trigger Sensitivity Values 1 - 20 (factory default 5)
Trigg er sensitivity is the amount of time that the trig g er has to be
released b efo re the next trigg er pull is allowed . In some situations
with too low of a value, the RIZE ™can register more trig g er p ulls
than what was actually pulled . This can cause the RIZE ™to shoot full
auto, even in semi- automatic mod e. To fix this, ad just the trig g er
sensitiv ity setting higher.
RED - Dwell Values 1 - 50 (factory default 40 )
Dwell is the amount of time that the so lenoid will be activated.
Fo llow these steps for the b est way to set your d well:
•Remove load er and any p aintb alls from the RIZE ™marker.
•With the d well set at 20 , start increasing the value until the marker
begins to fire.
•When you reach the setting where the marker b egins to fire, g et
some paint and a load er and g o to a chronograp h.
•Increase the d well until you see no increase in the velocity.
This is the op timal d well setting to b e used.
NOTE: You cannot turn your marker off with the power button
when the marker is in configuration mode. You must first set DIP

BATTERY
The 9V battery will last fo r about 12,0 0 0 shots. Please b e aware that there are sub stantial
differences in p erformance b etween d ifferent b rand s of batteries. Use of high q uality alkaline or
lithium io n b atteries is recommended for maximum b attery life. If yo u p lan not to use your marker
for a long period of time ( a month) , it is recommended that you remove the b attery from the
marker. When the b attery voltage starts to go to o low, the marker will not fire with every trig g er
pull. For to urnament use, it is recommend ed to change the b attery for each tournament.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
The battery is housed on the right side of the g rip frame. To access the b attery, remove the three
screws holding the right side g rip p anel down. Use a 3⁄32” allen key. When inserting a new battery
notice the + and - marks on the b oard. The p ositive lead of the 9V b attery g oes to the left and the
neg ative lead to the right.
NOTE: If the marker will not function with the eye on, there is a good chance the battery needs
to be changed.
•A low battery will not b e able to power both the ACE eye and the trigg er
switch, causing ACE eye failure.
•If the b attery is low, the marker will not fire with every trigg er p ull.
•Be sure the trigg er is not ad justed to the point where it is too sensitive
and may cause accid ental discharge of the marker.
•Removing the trigg er spring will cause premature wear on the microswitch,
resulting in failure.
•Be sure you do not pinch the wires between the frame and body when
reattaching the frame to the body.
ADJUSTING YOUR TRIGGER
The Trigg er’s fo rward travel and over travel are fully
ad justable so that the user can fine- tune the trigg er to
his/ her exact p reference.
To adjust the trigg er an .0 50 ” and 5/ 6 4 ’ A llen key is
need ed. There are two ad justment screws located o n the
trig g er.
The up p er screw o n the front of the trigger co ntrols the
forward travel ( 1) and requires a 5/ 64 ” allen wrench to
ad just. Screwing it in will incease the trigg er’s leng th of
pull. Note: If this screw is screwed too far out, the switch
will be d epressed all the time causing the RIZE ™to fire
once immediately after turning it on and not firing after that! ( Fig. 1) .
The lower screw on the front of the trigg er controls the over travel ( 2) and req uires the .0 50 ” allen
wrench to ad just. By turning this screw you can ad just how far b ack the trigg er will travel. Note: If
this screw is adjusted too far, the trig g er will not be allowed to travel far enoug h to d epress the
switch and the marker will not fire.
The trigger sp ring used to return the trigger is located insid e the frame. It is not sug gested to
remove this sp ring as it will cause excess wear o n the microswitch and cause trigger b o unce.

™BOLT is the main comp onent of the ™ marker. In order to achieve the best
possible performance of the RA IL™it is essential that the ™BOLT is kept clean, well lubed
and in good working ord er.
The ™BOLT should be cleaned and re-lubed after each day of use.
There are 4 p arts in the ™ BOLT kit that mount tog ether as one unit. To remove the ™
BOLT fro m your ™, use a 1/ 4 " allen key and turn the Back Cap out 2 full turns counter
clockwise. Now pull out the complete RA IL™b o lt kit from the ™.
To d is- assemb le the ™BOLT kit you unthread the front most part called the Can and the
Manifold from each other. Then pull out the actual moving bolt from insid e these pieces. Notice
that to sep arate the Can and the Bolt yo u need to remove
the bolt tip O- ring b efore the bolt is able to slide through
the Can.
HOW DOES IT WORK
A ir is supplied into two p oints on the ™ BOLT. In the
back air is routed through the Back Cap and Manifold
and fills up the supply chamber around the Manifold. In
the front air is routed throug h the soleno id into the Can.
This air pushes against the Sail on the Bolt, which keeps
the bolt in the b ack position.

A SSE MBLY A ND MAI NTE NA NC E
RIZE ™BO LT
A SSE MBLY A ND MAI NTE NA NC E
When the ™ is fired the solenoid is actuated
and the air inside the Can is exhausted out. The
force created by the air inside the sup p ly chamber
causes the b olt to start moving forward. Once the
bolt has moved ab out half way forward, the tail of
the bolt closes the inp ut into the sup p ly chamber.
Once the Bolt reaches the forward p oint, the valve
of the ™ Bolt is op ened and air insid e the
supp ly chamb er goes throug h the Bolt and fires
the p aintball. After this the solenoid is de-
activated and gas is supp lied throug h the
solenoid b ack into the Can. This causes the Bolt
to return to the back position and the supp ly
chamb er to b e re- charg ed .
When servicing your marker:
•Make sure your hopper is removed from the marker.
•Make sure there are no paintballs in the breech of the marker.
•Always remove the air supply and relieve all gas pressure in the marker
before disassembly.
•When using the marker in temperatures below 50° Fahrenheit it may be
necessary to lube the RAIL™ bolt more frequently.

MAINTENANCE
If the RIZE ™ BOLT is not kept clean
and well lubed, you will either start
seeing erratic velocity, leaks or over
long period of time, physical
damage to the RIZE ™
BOLT
components.
For troubleshooting leaks and other bolt problems, consult the
troubleshooting section at the end of this manual.

Bolt Front Bumper
The basic maintenance for the RIZE™ BOLT is to clean all surfaces of
dirt, broken paint or other debris, check for any wear and tear on
the O-rings and changing them if needed, and finally applying
a thin coat of DYE Slick Lube on all surfaces. Before installing
the RIZE™ BOLT back to the RIZE™ marker check that the
bolt moves freely without a lot of friction and
make sure all pieces are threaded
together snugly!.

LOA DERS A ND F EED NEC K
LOADERS AND FEED NECK
To achieve the maximum
perfo rmance of the RIZE ™ you will
need to use a motorized loader that
force feeds p aintb alls into the
RIZE ™ mar ker, p refera bly the
Rotor™Load er. Using a slower
motorized load er or a non-
motorized load er will work, but the
rate of fire and perfo rmance will b e
red uced.
TO FIT A LOADER ONTO THE
RIZE ™:
1. To fit a loader onto the RIZE™,
tighten yo ur load er into the
ad justable feed neck using a 5/ 32”
A llen key.
2. Loader should now be held in with a snug fit.
3. There is no maintenance need ed fo r the feed neck
besid es keep ing it clean of broken paint, d irt and
debris.

AIR / NITROGEN TANK OPTIONS AND INSTALLATION
The RIZE ™ with Compressed air and Nitrog en air systems
such as the DY E Throttle® air system and will also
work with CO2. Do not use any other comp ressed
gas. The outp ut pressure from the air system has
to b e b etween 40 0 – 850 psi. If yo u are using CO2
it is essential that the tank is fitted with an anti-
sipho n tub e to p revent liq uid CO2from
entering the RIZE ™.
To install an air system, screw the tank into
the airp ort all the way as far as it will g o.
To remove the air system screw out.
There will be gas leaking for a few
seco nd s while you screw the air system
out. Notice that even with the air
system removed there can b e g as
insid e the RIZE™ and it can still fire
a p aintb all. A lways t reat th e
marker as being live and never
point it to anything you d o n’t
intend to sho ot at!

HYPER3™REGULATOR DIS-ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Before p erforming maintenance on the Hyp er3™reg ulator, ensure that the RIZE™ is co mp letely
degassed and then unscrew the Hyp er3™fro m the RIZE ™marker.
To d isassemble the Hyp er3™regulato r you will need a C- clip tool or a strong p ick. Remove the C-
clip from the b ottom of the Hyp er 3 reg. Next, unscrew the Brass seat housing from the b od y
with a 3⁄16 ” A llen key.
To chang e the seat, p ull out the old seat from the housing with a sharp ob ject. Insert the new seat
in place and push it down with a flat o b ject. Notice that it takes about 20 0 0 sho ts for the seat to
perfectly sit into the seat housing. This is called the break in p eriod for the reg ulator. Rememb er
to ap ply lube to the 0 10 on the b rass reg seat ho using b efo re re- assembly. F urther d isa ssembly to
service the top section of the Hyper3™should be p erformed by a trained Tech.

VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
The velocity of the RIZE™ is adjusted by ad justing the input
pressure into the RIZE ™. This is controlled with the Hyp er3™
reg ulator. The Hyp er3™on the RIZE ™is factory set to 140 p si which
will give yo u a velo city of ab out 285 F PS ( Feet p er Second) .
A 3⁄16 ” allen key will be need ed fo r this o p eration. Turning the
ad justment screw in ( clockwise) will d ecrease the p ressure, and out
( co unterclockwise) will increase the p ressure. To ad just the
velocity:
1. Make sure you and everybod y around you is wearing A STM/ CE
ap p roved p aintb all gogg les.
2. Shoot the RIZE ™over a p aintb all chrono g raph.
3. To lower the velocity turn the Hyper3™ad justment screw in. To
increase the velocity turn the screw out. Only turn the screw a
quarter turn at a time and sho ot over the chronog rap h ag ain.
Notice that a few sho ts are need ed b efore the change can b e
seen on the chrono g rap h.
MAINTENANCE
Fo r the RIZE™ to function prop erly, it is essential that the input
pressure into the marker stays consistent at all times. The general
maintenance need ed for the Hy p er3™reg ulator is to keep it clean
of d irt and d ebris at all times. A mo re extensive service should b e
perfo rmed every 12 months by a trained Tech or if the o utput
pressure of the regulator b ecomes inconsistent. This can be seen
as inconsistent velocity and verified with a reg ulator tester ( so ld
sep arately) . Notice that the Hyp er3™has a break in p eriod o f
ab o ut 20 0 0 shots b efore it achieves the best performance.

ANTI C HO P EYES/ BALL D ETENTS
MA I NT ENA NC E A ND C H ANGI NG
ANTI CHOP EYES
The A nti Chop Eye ( ACE) system will
prevent the RIZE ™from cho p p ing p aint
by not allowing the marker to fire until
a ball is fully seated in front o f the b olt.
The eyes use a b eam across the
breech. On one sid e there is a
transmitter, and on the o p posite sid e a
receiver. In order for the marker to fire
with the eyes turned on, the sig nal
between the two eyes must b e b ro ken.
After every sho t, before the next ball
drop s in the b reech, the eye
transmitter and receiver must see each
other. If the eyes are dirty and cannot
see each o ther b etween shots, the LED
on the board will start blinking green.
This means that the eyes are d irty. This is an extremely reliab le system as long as the eyes are
kep t clean. The mo st common reason for d irty eyes is broken p aint. If the eyes beco me d irty, the
marker will d efault to a red uced rate of fire to p revent chop ping. If this hap p ens d uring game play,
you can by p ass this by turning the eyes o ff. Clean the eyes as soon as p ossible.
NOTE: IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, THE MARKER MAY ACT AS IF THE EYES ARE DIRTY OR NOT
FIRE AT ALL. IN THIS CASE, REPLACE THE BATTERY.
SELF CLEANING EYE FEATURE
ANTI C HO P EYES/ BALL D ETENTS
MA I NT ENA NC E A ND C H ANGI NG
If this does no t clear the b lockag e use a swab to clean the insid e of the breech.
Fo r a more thorough cleaning, p ull the Eye Pip e with the b all d etents o ut the front of the b reech.
With the Eye Pipe out use a swab to clean the breech. This sho uld be enoug h to clean the eye
system. If the system need s further cleaning, p ull out the eye carrier and eye wires through the
feed neck. To prevent d amag ing the eye wires, it is best to remove the frame and d isconnect the
eye wires from the b oard . Use a soft rag and q- tips to clean off any b uilt up p aint or g rease.
When re-assemb ling the eye guard system, work backward s from disassembly. The Eye Pipe is
keyed into the breech and can only g o in one way.
NOTE: REGULAR EYE CLEANING IS RECOMMENDED EVEN IF NO PAINT IS BROKEN. CLEAN
THE EYES EVERY TWO MONTHS OR 10 ,0 0 0 SHOTS TO ELIMINATE ANY BUILT UP DIRT.
EXCESS GREASE CAN BUILD UP IN F RONT OF THE EYES. REMEMBER TO CHECK F OR THIS
AFTER GREASING THE BOLT AND CYCLING THE MARKER A FEW TIMES.
CHANGING BALL DETENTS
The b all detent system is clip ped to the outside of the Eye Pipe. The b all detent system need s
little or no maintenance. The detents should easily flex out of the way with little force, such as a
paintb all moving p ast. If you are experiencing d oub le feeding or cho p p ing, check the cond ition of
your b all d etents with yo ur finger to make sure they are not b roken, stuck in the up o r d own
position, and that they move in and out of the breech freely. If excessive broken p aint or d irt has
jammed your b all detents, remove the Eye Pipe/ detent system from the front of the RIZE ™and
unclip the d etents for a tho rough cleaning. Reinstall the d etents, and Eye Pipe after you have
sufficiently cleaned the d etents and b reech.
Be careful not to over- flex the d etents when hand ling them. Excessive flexing could break or
damag e the detents.
The RIZE™ is equipped with a self-cleaning eye feature. There is a clear polycarbonate sleeve
mounted inside the breech of the gun covering the eyes. When the bolt tip O-ring passes
through the Eye Pipe, it sweeps off any dirt, grease or paint that could be blocking the
eyes. Normally it is enough to just fire the RIZE™ to clean anything blocking the eyes.
