3. Getting Started
Safety and safe Marker handling are the most important aspects of
paintball sports. Please practice each of the following steps with an
unloaded Marker before attempting to operate your Marker with an air
source and paintballs.
• Do not install an air source or load paintballs into your Marker until you
have completely read and understood this manual and feel complete-
ly confident with your ability to handle your Marker safely.
• Always use ASTM approved paintball specific eye protection. Always
wear eye protection when handling a paintball Marker and in any
areas where paintball markers may be discharged. Remember that
the ultimate safety device is you, the operator.
• Keep your finger out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger;
point the muzzle of the Marker in a safe direction at all times. Keep the
Marker in safe mode.
• Always keep your Marker point-
ed in a safe direction and use a
barrel blocking device.
Safety and Safe Mode
The Safety is a small mechanical
slide on the left side of the Marker
above the trigger. When the
Safety is "Off", a red dot is visible
on the Marker (Fig. 3. 1 ). When the
Safety is "On", no red dot will be
visible and the Marker will not fire
or de-cock (Fig. 3.2).

In this manual, you will see the term "Safe Mode". In "Safe Mode", the
Safety should be set to "Safe" (red marking on safety will not be visible) and
a barrel-blocking device should be used. Make sure your Marker is in "Safe
Mode" when the Marker is not being fired or when indicated to do so.
Feed Adapter Installation
• Place the Feed Adapter on the
front of the raised Picatinny rail
on top of the Marker with the
feed hole on the right side of
the marker.
• Push and hold in the latch button
while sliding the Feed Adapter
along the Picatinny rail toward
the rear of the marker.
• Just before the Feed Adapter covers the feed hole in the right side of the
marker, release the latch button and continue sliding the Feed Adapter
until the latch locks into the rail slot.
• When done correctly, the Feed Adapter will now be unable to slide for-
ward or backward without holding in the latch button, and the feed hole
on the right side of the Marker will not be visible from the sides of the
Feed Adapter (Fig. 3.3).
Feed Adapter Plug
The Feed Adapter Plug can be
installed in either side of the Feed
Fig. 3. 1
Adapter, depending on which side
the Feed Tube magazine is placed.
The Feed Adapter Plug is used to
direct paintballs into the magazine
for loading and into the marker's
breech (Fig. 3.4).
• Position "A" will allow you to fill the
Feed Tube Magazine.
