Read this entire manual before loading, attaching a propellant source or in any way attempting to operate the BT-16.

Barrel Installation

1. While pointing the marker in a safe direction,

make sure that it is degassed, with hopper removed, no paintballs are in the feed port or the breech and the safety is set to “safe”.

2. Place the threaded end of the barrel into the

front opening of the marker body.

3. Turn the barrel clockwise into the marker, until

it stops (do not over tighten).

4. Adjust the barrel accessories if necessary.

5. Install a barrel blocking device. This can be a

barrel plug or other such device that prevents the accidental discharge of a paintball.

Air Cylinder Installation

1. Make sure the barrel blocking device is properly installed and the marker safety is set to “safe”.

2. While pointing the marker in a safe direction, cock the marker by pulling the T-handle located

on the top rear of the marker all the way back until it stops.

3. Release the T-handle and allow it to slide all the way forward.

4. The marker is now cocked.

5. Locate the air cylinder adapter. The BT-16 Elite cylinder adapter is located at the base of the

pistol grip. Other models have the air cylinder adapter located below the center of the marker and just in front of the trigger guard.

6. Turn the marker so that the air cylinder adapter is pointed upwards while keeping the muzzle

of the marker pointed in a safe direction

7. Insert the threaded cylinder valve end into the adapter.

8. Without pushing 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

Air Cylinder Installation

Loader Installation

1. To install loader check vertical feed adapter and loader to make sure they are free from debris and obstructions.

2. Place the feed neck of the loader into the adapter all the way in until it stops.

3. Align the loader so that the lid is in the rear and the loader is parallel with the marker.

4. Twist the locking ring of the feed adapter clockwise until it is snug.

5. You are now ready to load the marker with paintballs.

Velocity Adjustment

1. Always check the velocity of the marker prior to playing paintball. Different playing fields may have different maximum velocity limits. At no time should you shoot at velocities above 300 feet per second.

2. Put on an eye protective device designed specifically for paintball and make sure that anyone within range of the marker does the same.

3. While pointing the marker a safe direction, remove the barrel blocking device.

4. Point the marker over a chronograph that will measure the velocity of the paintballs discharged by the marker.

5. Set the trigger safety to “fire”.

6. Pull the trigger and check the reading on the chronograph.

7. Locate the velocity adjuster screw on the center of marker opposite the name plate.

8. Using a 5/32 hex key, turn the screw Inward or clockwise to reduce the velocity, and outward or counterclockwise to increase the velocity of the paintballs discharged from the marker.

DO NOT REMOVE THE VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT SCREW.
