LOADING PAINTB MAGAZINE
IMPORTANT: The Barrel must be installed before
loading the Magazine or Force Feed Paintball Loader.
IMPORTANT: Always have the marker on SAFE MODE
until you are ready to operate.
IMPORTANT: Storing paintballs in a temperature
of 59° F (15°C) or below will affect the quality and
performance of the paintballs.
IMPORTANT: The magazine should be clean and free of
any shell fragment or dirt before loading paintballs.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to Freeze any Paintballs.
EP 1 Slide the ball pusher towards the bottom of
the magazine and turn to the left to place the guide pin
in the locked position.
EP 2 Load only 9 Paintballs (.68 Cal.) or 9 First
Strike Paintballs. NOTE: First Strike Paintballs can only
be loaded in a specific direction in the First Strike Capable (FSC) 9 round Straight Magazine. HELPFUL TIP: The
Fin of the First Strike Paintball is facing towards the Receiver and the Rounded Body of the First Strike Paintball is
facing towards the Barrel. NEVER mix First Strike™ Paintballs and (.68cal) Paintballs inside a Straight Magazine.
EP 3 Follow the guided line to insert the Magazine straight into the Trigger Housing until it snaps into position.
EP 4 Turn the ball pusher pin right to the unlocked position.
IMPORTANT: If the ball pusher pin is not released, the spring will not push the paintballs into the markers breach.
RELE AGAZINE
Push the magazine release button located on the right side of the markers handle. This will allow the magazine to
slide out the handle. NOTE: Never take apart the magazine release button unless the magazine does not release
from the trigger frame.
IMPORTANT: NEVER slam the magazine into the receiver, excessive force inserting the magazine will push a
paintball pass the ball detents and roll out the barrel.
NOTE: Do not store magazine (s) loaded with paintballs for an extended period of time as the pressure from the
magazine spring will cause the paintballs to de-form and not shoot properly.
HELPFUL TIP: Older paintballs left for a period of time are not recommended for use or you will experience
premature paintball breakage and poor accuracy.
