Loader
• To install a loader, check the Slide-Away™ elbow and loader to make
sure they are free from debris and obstructions.
• Position the Slide-Away™ elbow onto your marker’s receiver.
• Use a 3/16" Allen wrench and loosen the clamping screw on the Slide
Away™ Elbow to allow the loader to slide into the top of the elbow.
• Press the loader into the opening of the elbow until it stops.
• Align the loader so that the lid is pointing to the rear and the loader is
parallel with the marker.
• Clamp the loader in place by using a 3/16" Allen wrench. Tighten the
clamping screw on the elbow until snug or close the clamping arm. Do
not over tighten the loader.
Air Cylinder Installation
Consult the dealer where you purchased your BT marker, or a recognized
and competent air smith, for instruction in the safe handling of compressed-
air cylinders before purchasing or connecting one to your BT marker.
Before Pressurizing your Marker
• Check to make sure that you and anyone within range are wearing eye
protection designed specifically for paintball.
• Double check that all screws are tightened and no parts are loose
before installing your tank.
• Ensure you have a barrel plug, barrel sock, or other specifically
designed barrel-blocking device in place.
• Make sure there are no paintballs in the marker.
• Set marker to “Safe Mode”.
Pressurizing your Marker
• While pointing the marker in a safe direction, cock the marker by
pulling the cocking knob located on the left side of the marker back
until it clicks and stops.
• Release the cocking knob, the marker is now cocked.
• Locate the air cylinder adapter. The BT marker cylinder adapter is locat-
ed at the base of the pistol grip.
• Position the BT marker so that the air cylinder adapter is pointed
upwards while keeping the muzzle of the marker pointed in a safe
direction.
• Insert the threaded cylin-
der valve end into the
adapter.
Without pushing the cylinder,
twist the cylinder clockwise
and allow the threads to draw
the cylinder into the marker
until it stops. Your marker is
now charged (Fig. 1.4).

cylinders can
be extremely dangerous if misused or improperly handled. Use only
cylinders meeting D.O.T. or regionally defined specifications.
• Never disassemble your tank or tank regulator. Only a qualified and
trained technician should perform work on your tank and tank regulator.
• Never add any lubricants or greases into the fill adapter on your tank
regulator.
Loading Paintballs
BT markers use .68 Caliber, water-soluble paintballs, readily available at
paintball pro-shops, commercial playing fields, and many sporting goods
stores. The paintballs are fed from the loader through the feed elbow into
the breech of the marker.
• Make sure the marker is set to “Safe Mode”.
• Put on an eye protective device designed specifically for paintball and
make sure that anyone within range of the marker does the same.
• Load quality .68 caliber paintballs (leave some room for paintballs to
move about, inside loader).
