Owner's Manual
Step 18: Carefully remove the two Halo stickers from the sides of the loader shell. If there is any dirt or paint residue
on the shell where the badge will sit, apply a small amount of water to a cloth and wipe until clean. Do not use any
cleaners, as the residue of the cleaner will cause the new badges to not adhere properly to the shell. Let area dry.
Remove the paper strip on one Empire shell badge to expose the adhesive on the badge. Affix badge to the shell.
Repeat for other side.
Installation is now complete. Please read all operating instructions before proceeding.
Operating the Reloader B’s 3-Speed Board
Turning the loader on: Do not load paintballs into your hopper until the hopper has been turned on. If you have
already loaded the hopper, proceeding with power-on sequence may result in a jam during power-up. If this happens,
simply spin the RIP drive manually to clear the jam. During the initial powering sequence, the motor will spin to prime
the drive cone.
Locate the power button on the rear control panel. To turn on, press the button, the green LED comes on while the
button is pressed, now release the button. The green LED will now flash again for one second, go off, then flash
quickly for 1, 2, 3 times indicating which speed it is currently set to. The motor will spin for a second and the loader
is now ready to use. Do NOT fire your marker until after the initial motor spin has completed. Firing during this first
period can disrupt the auto-adjusting sound sensitivity and cause the loader to work improperly. The green LED will
flash repeatedly while the unit is on to show it’s ready. If the LED flashing changes to red, then the batteries are low
and need to be replaced.
Setting the speed: When the Reloader B is first turned on, while the LED flashes for one long second, press and
hold the power button again during this flash. When properly done, the LED will now change to red and you can
release the button. The LED will stay red for about 5 seconds, then change back to its flashing green sequence for
operation if no buttons are pressed. To set the speed during the red LED phase, push and release the button the
number of times necessary based on which speed you desire. Press once for normal speed, twice for faster speed
and 3 times for the fastest speed. Each time you press and release the button during this sequence, the press of the
button should last about 1 second. If done too quickly, the board may not be set to the speed you desire. When done
correctly, the red LED will go off, then flash the same number of times the button is pressed, indicating the speed it
is now set to. then the green LED will flash the same number of times if you are using the 6 AA battery pack, or the
orange LED will flash the same number of times if you are using the 4 AA battery pack. The motor will now spin up
at the speed it is set to, it will stop and now the speed is set and the unit is ready to use.
Turning off: Press and hold the power button until the red LED comes on, then release. When the red LED goes off,
the unit is now off and the LED will not flash green.
