Loader Installation
• To install a loader check the feed neck and the loader to make sure they are free from debris and obstructions. • Press the loader neck into the opening of the feed neck until it stops. • Align the loader so that the lid is pointing to the rear and the loader is parallel with the marker. • Clamp the loader in place by tightening the clamp arm; it may be necessary to adjust the feed neck clamp thumb nut (see below). Do not over tighten the clamp holding the loader, as this may damage it.
Feed Elbow Clamp Adjustment
The feed elbow clamp may need adjustment for different types/brands of loaders. Adjust the thumb nut clockwise to increase the clamping force or counter clockwise to decrease the clamping force of the lever. No tools are needed to make any adjustments.
Before Pressurizing your Marker

The Sniper ASA is located on the bottom of the grip frame. • Move the On/Off ASA lever to the forward position. • Insert the threaded end of the air cylinder into the ASA. • Without pushing the cylinder, twist the cylinder clockwise and allow the threads to draw the cylinder into the marker's ASA until it stops. • Flip the On/Off lever back. Your marker is now charged.
RULES FOR SAFE MARKER HANDLING
Adjusting Velocity
Important: Never carry your Empire SNIPER uncased when not on a playing field. The non-paintball playing public and law enforcement personnel may not be able to distinguish between a paintball marker and firearm. For your own safety and to protect the image of the sport, always carry your Empire SNIPER in a suitable marker case or in the box in which it came in. 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. • Treat every marker as if it were loaded. • Never look down the barrel of a paintball marker. • Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. • Never point the marker at anything you don’t wish to shoot. • Keep the marker off until ready to shoot. • Keep the barrel-blocking device in/on the marker’s barrel when not shooting. • Always remove paintballs and air source before disassembly. • After removing air source, point marker in safe direction and discharge until marker is degassed. • Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secure place. • Follow warnings listed on the air source for handling and storage. • Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows. • Every person within range must wear eye, face, and ear protection designed specifically to stop paintballs and meeting ASTM standard F1776. • Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball and never shoot at velocities in excess of 300 feet-per-second (91.44 meters). • Remember that the ultimate safety device is you, the operator.
