1. Safe Marker Handling

IMPORTANT: Never carry your marker uncased when not on a playing field. The non-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 marker in a suitable marker case or in the box in which it was shipped.

• Treat every marker as if it were loaded.

• Never look down the barrel of a paintball marker.

• Keep the marker in “safe mode” until ready to shoot, safety on, and barrel-blocking device installed in/on the marker’s barrel.

• Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

• Never point the marker at anything you don’t wish to shoot.

• Keep the barrel-blocking device in/on the marker’s barrel when

not shooting.

• Always remove paintballs and the air source before disassembly.

• After removing the 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 stor-

age.

• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.

• Every person within range must wear eye, face, and ear protec-

tion 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-per-second).

Read this entire manual before loading, or attaching a propellant source, or in any way attempting to operate the Empire Trracer marker.

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 completely 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.

• 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 pointed in a safe direction and use a barrel-blocking device.

• Remember that the ultimate safety device is you, the operator.

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 (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 installed. Make sure your marker is in “safe mode” when the marker is not being fired or when indicated to do so.

Feed Elbow Installation

• Install the feed elbow before installing the barrel.

• Press and hold the retention button located on the side of the feed elbow.

• Slide the elbow onto the front of the Picatinny rail.

• Line up the elbow with the feed hole on the right side of the body.

• Check that the elbow is locked in place, properly aligned, and that the spring-loaded retention button is lined up with a gap on the Picatinny rail.

Barrel Installation

• Make sure marker is degassed, loader removed, no paintballs in the feed port or breech, and the marker is in “safe mode”.

• While pointing marker in a safe direction, slide the barrel through the pump handle and thread into the front opening of the marker body.

• Turn the barrel clockwise until it stops (do not over tighten).

• Install a barrel-blocking device. This can be a barrel plug or other such device that prevents the accidental discharge of a paintball.
