EMPIRE® SCION™ LOADER INSTRUCTIONS
Battery Installation
• Remove the toolless battery door by sliding the tab toward the nose and lift the door up and
out of the loader.
• Remove the battery holder, by first removing the battery wire connector.
• Install (6) AA batteries following the polarity markings on the holder. Batteries not

• Connect battery wire connector to the battery pack.

Attaching the Loader
Straight feedneck application: the loader will load directly into the feedneck (the loader
neck can be shaped with sandpaper if the neck is too wide to fit into your marker). Press the
Scion™ loader into the feedneck until it stops: align the loader parallel with the marker with
the lid towards the rear of the marker.
Loading the Loader
• Hold the loader from the back, with your thumb under the lip of the lid.
• Sweeping your thumb upward will pop the lid open.
• Load paintballs and close the lid. Leave space for the balls to move about.
OPERATING THE EMPIRE® SCION™
Your Empire® Scion™ loader uses a series of sensors and control systems to give fast,
consistent feeding speeds while being very gentle on paintballs. When the loader is turned on
it will immediately start feeding paintballs. If the loader is empty it will continue to run, but at
a slower speed to allow paintballs to organize within the carrier. The loader uses the Break
Beam Infrared Sensor in the feed neck to detect shots fired and quickly deliver paintballs to
the marker. The Drive Sensor System makes sure that regardless of the battery voltage, the
loader will feed at the same speed so the user will not see a gradual decrease in performance
as the battery is discharged. The loader will indicate to the user when the battery has been
discharged and needs to be changed. The Empire® Scion™ also uses these systems to detect
a jam in the system (explained below) and to clear the jam efficiently.

Auto Anti-jam:
