Pressurizing your Marker
1. 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.
2. Release the cocking knob, the marker is now cocked.
3. Locate the air cylinder adapter. The Empire BT-4 Series marker cylinder adapter is
located at the base of the pistol grip.
4. Position the Empire BT-4 Series marker so that the air cylinder adapter is pointed
upwards while keeping the muzzle of the
marker pointed in a safe direction.
5. Insert the threaded cylinder valve end
into the adapter (Fig. 3.10).
6. 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.
Notes:
• Remember compressed air, nitrogen systems and CO2 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 (all models)
Empire BT-4 Series Markers use .68 Caliber,
water-soluble paintballs, readily available
at paintball pro-shops, commercial playing
fields, and many sporting goods stores. The
paintballs are feed from the loader through
the feed elbow or Rip-Clip™ into the breech
of the marker.
1. Make sure the marker is set to “SAFE” mode.
2. Put on an eye protective device designed specifically for paintball and make sure
that anyone within range of the marker does the same.
3. Load quality .68 caliber paintballs (leave some room for paintballs to move about,
inside loader).
