This is the a etek FAQ for the Planet Eclipse etek models one and two it will be updated frequently and edited with more information, this is what I have down for now, please post if you think there is anything I should add / edit. Most of this stuff is taken directly from the etek manual.
These are for etek 1 and 2
Question And answer:
Q: How much does the etek weigh
A: Around 2.45 LBS
Q:Can I use QEV's in my etek
A: No
Q: What is the etek operating pressure
A: 250 - 280 PSI
What are the etek egos
Q - What are the differences between the Planet Eclipse E-tek 1 and E-tek 2
A - There are no major differences between the Etek 1 and the Etek 2. The etek 2 is a little lighter due to the milling, milling is one of the biggest reasons people will think that the etek 2 is much better then the etek 2, the etek 2 is much more eye catching. Etek 2 has the 2008 ego reg and asa, these are supposedly more efficient then the regular reg and asa on the etek 1. The etek 2 has a 2 piece barrel. The etek 2 has a power button shaped like a power button instead of a star.

1. Cleaning and maintenance - How to clean your etek
What you need to do:
Clean off all dirt and paint with paper towel / eyes with q-tip
Drop of oil on the rammer o-rings (About every 2 cases)
Drop of oil on the back bolt o-rings(About every 2 cases)
Use Vaseline (recommended in the manual) For the LPR and Regulator (Every 20 or so cases, some people just wait until they see a decrease in their efficiency)
Clean eyes out(Whenever you have a chop, or after you play)
Do not use lube for your etek ego, use e-oil or any other oil is for paintball, spyder oil works fine as well.

2) How to change modes on your Etek Ego
To activate the setup menu - Make sure your etek ego is switched off. Pull and hold the trigger and while the trigger is still pulled push and hold the select pushbutton until the "E" and the "O" on the control console alternately flash white to indicate entry to setup mode. When you have entered the setup menu, the "G" on the control console will turn red to indicate the first parameter of the setup menu.
Red - firing mode
Green - Maximum ROF with breech sensor
Blue - Maximum ROG without Breech Sensor
Purple - Dwell
Light Blue - Debounce
Yellow - Ball Detection time
3) Adjusting your eteks trigger
3 adjustment points on the trigger
The front stop trigger screw is used to set the amount of trigger travel prior to the marker firing. Turn this screw clockwise to reduce the amount of travel. Do not turn the screw too far or the trigger will be pushed past the firing point and the marker will not fire. Turn it counter clockwise to increase amount of trigger travel.
The rear stop trigger screw is used to set the amount of travel after the marker won't fire. Turn it clockwise to reduce the amount of travel, do not turn it too far or it won't fire. Turn it counter clockwise to increase the amount of travel after the trigger is pulled.
The spring tension screw is used to adjust the amount of spring tension is behind the trigger when you pull it. Turn it clockwise to increase the amount of spring tension and turn it counter clockwise to reduce the amount of spring tension.
