Details

This tutorial teaches players how to set up their paintball loader the device that feeds paint into the marker.

Players begin by securing the loader into the feedneck. The tutorial explains how to tighten or loosen the feedneck to prevent movement without over compressing the loader shell.

Next, players learn proper loading technique: opening the lid fully, pouring paintballs gently to avoid cracking, and closing the lid securely. Electronic loader users perform a simple battery check and verify that the motor cycles normally.

Common issues such as paint jams, misfeeds, or inconsistent cycling are explained with simple troubleshooting steps, like gently shaking the loader or checking for debris.

Cleaning guidance is provided: avoid water inside electronic components, use soft cloths for internal cleaning, and empty unused paint after each session.

This tutorial helps players maintain predictable feeding performance and reduces frustration caused by skipped shots or loader interruptions.
