Safe Mode
In this manual, you will see the term “SAFE” mode. The
Power should be OFF (Fig. 3.1) on electronic grips, or the
Safety should be set to “SAFE” (red marking on safety will
not be visible) Fig. 3.2. Make sure your marker is set to
“SAFE” mode when indicated to do so.
Barrel Installation
Make sure marker is degassed, hopper removed, no
paintballs in the feed port or breech and the marker is
in “Safe” mode.
1. While pointing marker in a safe direction, place the
threaded end of the barrel into the front opening of
the marker body (Fig. 3.3).
2. Turn the barrel clockwise until it stops (do not over
tighten).
3. Adjust the barrel accessories if necessary.
4. Install a barrel blocking device. This can be a barrel
plug or other such device that prevents the accidental discharge of a paintball.
Feed Elbow and Loader Installation
1. Press and hold the retention button located on the
side of the Slide-Away™ elbow.
2. Slide the elbow onto the front narrow gap of the
picatinny rail. (fig. 3.4)
3. Line up the elbow with the feed hole on the right
side receiver.
4. Check that the elbow is locked in place and properly aligned.
Note: Spring-loaded retention button must line up in a gap on the Picatinny rail.
Standard Loader
1. To install a loader check the Slide-Away™ elbow and loader to make sure they
are free from debris and obstructions.
2. Position Slide-Away™ elbow onto your marker’s receiver.
3. Release the Clamp Arm to allow the loader to slide into the top of the elbow.
4. Press the loader into the opening of the Elbow until it stops.
5. Align the loader so that the lid is pointing to the rear and the loader is parallel
with the marker.
6. Clamp the loader in place by closing the clamping arm. Do not over tighten the
loader.
Note: It might be necessary to adjust the clamping feed elbow screw to fit your loader. Using a 3/32" hex wrench, turn the
screw clockwise to increase the clamping force or counter-clockwise to decrease the clamping force.
Air Cylinder Installation
Consult the place where you purchased your Empire BT-4 Slice 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 Empire BT-4 Slice Marker.
Before Pressurizing Your Marker
1. Check to make sure that you and anyone within range are wearing eye protection
designed specifically for paintball.
2. Double check that all screws are tightened and no parts are loose before installing
your tank.
3. Ensure you have a barrel plug, barrel sock or other specifically designed barrel-
blocking device in place.
4. Make sure there are no paintballs in the marker.
5. Set marker to “SAFE” mode.
Pressurizing your Marker
1. While pointing the marker in a safe direction,
cock the marker by pulling the T-handle, located
in the rear of the body, back until it clicks and stops.
2. Release the cocking handle, the marker is
now cocked.
3. Locate the Air Source Adapter (ASA) located at the base of the pistol grip.
4. Position the Empire BT marker so that the ASA is pointed upwards while keeping
the muzzle of the marker pointed in a safe direction.
5. Insert the threaded cylinder valve end into the ASA.
6. Without forcing 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.
