Notes:
•For best results, only use quality brand batteries. When replacing batteries, used batteries should be recycled.
•Make sure the batteries are installed correctly, pay attention to the (+/-) polarity markings.
Attaching the Loader
You can attach your Empire Z2 loader to the marker’s feed neck or you may need an elbow to attach it properly. The Empire Z2 is designed to fit in standard clamping style feednecks.
Place the Empire Z2 into your marker’s feed neck, adjust the clamp adjustment screw, and push the clamp closed. If the clamp shows too much resistance when trying to close, loosen the feed neck’s adjustment screw. If it’s too loose, tighten the feed neck’s adjustment screw, until the loader is secure.
Notes:
•You want to hold the loader securely but be careful not to crush or damage the feed neck.
•Modifying the loaders feed neck will void warranty.
Powering the Loader
Flip the toggle switch to the left, which is the ON position. The loader will spin until it’s filled with paintballs. The loader will have a green flashing LED when on (Figure 2.3).
Fig. 2.3
Loader Operation
The Z2 loader is activated by sound and sensors. Turn the Z2 to the ON position and you’re ready to go. The Z2 will pickup the sound of each shot and use its sensors to load your marker. No programming adjustments are needed.
Advancing Drive
You can advance drive by pressing the Forward button 
on the backplate (Figure
2.3). Each time the button is pressed, the drive will spin until it senses the ball stack is full or it times out. This is useful after you refill your loader to make sure the ball stack is full.
