1. introduction

Thank you for choosing the q-loader custom loading system, the first of a new genera-tion of clip-based paintball loading systems.

The q-loaderwas developed around innovative new technology for loading and managingpaintballs. The result is a high-powered clip-based system that can be used with virtuallyany marker.

marker compatibility

Adapts to virtually any paintball marker ina number of dynamic configurations.

standard size clip

Replaces standard reload pods and workswith some existing harnesses and belts.

constant feed + pressure

Maintains paintballs in constant align-

ment and pressure regardless of themarker orientation.

30+ balls per second

Feeds paintballs balls faster than any hop-per system, because each q-pod is loaded

with a presorted stream of 100 rounds.

increased maneuverability

Allows the marker to operate smoothly atany angle and even while being shaken.

lower target area

Reduces the player target profile bymounting the loading system under thebarrel.

silent game play

Feeds paintballs silently and reducespaintball rattle by isolating every paintballwithin a helical drive tube.

clip-based loading

Offers the same advantages of the clip-

based loading systems the military hasbenefited from for more than a century.


2/59

The q-loaderis capable of delivering 30+ balls per second, continuously under pressure,for 100 rounds regardless of marker orientation or game play intensity.

robust construction

Utilizes stainless steel and polycarbonateconstruction and is designed to deliverover 1,000,000 paintballs during its life.

ultra reliability

Reduces jamming, miss feeding and ballchopping and other problems associatedwith loading systems that sort paintballswhile firing.

zero batteries

Each q-pod stores enough energy to feed100 rounds, which means youll never runout of power.

2.3 game-play >Now that yourq-loaderis setup, it is almost ready to be used for the first time. A few smalladjustments may still need to be made.

The following steps will guide you through the proper procedures for safely using and ad-justing yourq-loaderin preparation for game-play.


20/59

gear neededThe gear described and shown above is

recommend for using the q-loader.

step 2.3.1Remove thesilo cap from thesilo.

silo

harness or belt (not included) silo cap

paintball selection

High ROF (rate-of-fire) users should onlyuse fresh, good quality and non-brittlepaintballs. High fire-rates and brittle paint-

balls do not mix in any loading system.

marker selection

High ROF users should ensure they havea marker with a good paintball-detection-system and double-paintball-detents.


21/59

step 2.3.2Fill thesilo with paintballs. Thesilo will

hold approximately 500 paintballs (onebag).

Thesilo works best when it is not fullypacked. Do not overload it.

step 2.3.3Replace thesilo cap on thesilo.

You are now ready to reload q-pods.

tip

Place the bag of paintballs on a table orfloor. Open the bag and insert thesilo intothe bag. Gather the bag tightly around the

silo. Turn the bag andsilo upside downand the balls will pour into thesilo.

22/59

step 2.3.4Engage a q-pod into the reload socketby

aligning the raised knob on the q-pod withthe slot on the reload socket, inserting theq-pod, and quarter turning the q-pod tolock it into place.

step 2.3.5Elevate thesilo so that paintballs will flow

from thesilo into the reload socket.

You can hang thesilo by the strap or placeit on a table.

notice

A q-pod does not need to be fully emptiedbefore being reloaded.


23/59

step 2.3.6Shake thesilo to make paintballs flow

down thefeed tube towards the reloadsocket.

step 2.3.7Turn the winderon the reload socketclock-

wise. Note how the paintballs are woundinto the q-pod. You can see the q-pod fill-ing up. Continue to turn the winderuntil itstops. This means the q-pod is full.

tip

Thesilo works best when paintballs arenot packed into the bottom of thesilo.

notice

Avoid gaps between paintballs whenreloading a q-pod. Gaps of more than onepaintball may cause paintballs to break

when the q-pod is feeding.


24/59

step 2.3.8Disengage the q-pod from the reload

socketby quarter-turning the q-pod andpulling it out.

step 2.3.9Reload as many q-pods as needed for

game-play and store them in a harness orbelt.

notice

It is normal for 1 or 2 paintballs to fall outof a q-pod when the q-pod is disengagedfrom thesocketorreload socket.

harness (not included)


25/59

step 2.3.10Engage the q-pod into thesocketthe same

way you engaged the q-pod into the re-load socket(step 2.3.4). Immediately uponengagement, paintballs will be releasedfrom the q-pod and quickly zip throughthefeed tube towards the elbow.

step 2.3.11Double check that thefeed tube length

is properly adjusted by looking throughthesocketand ensuring that 2 paintballstouch in the place shown above.

notice

When the paintballs quickly zip throughthefeed tube, thefeed tube length maytemporarily stretch out of adjustment .

Shooting your marker a few times will re-lieve the excessive pressure and allow thefeed tube to shrink to the original length.

If one or more paintballs break while

quickly zipping through thefeed tube,you may need to pre-fill thefeed tube withpaintballs by hand before engaging the q-pod or apply fewer pre-winds to the q-pod(sections 3.6).

notice

If the feed tube length is not properlyadjusted, a paintball will stop between aq-pod and thesocketand the paintball will

break if you try to disengage the q-pod.

Adjust thefeed tube length by slightly pull-ing the feed tube out of either thesocketand/or the elbowuntil 2 paintballs stop asshown below.

step 2.3.12Disengage the q-pod from thesocket

like you did from the reload socket(step2.3.8).

step 2.3.13Reload the partially emptied q-pod for

maximum possible load of paintballs(steps 2.3.4 to 2.3.7).

notice

It is normal for 1 or 2 paintballs to fall outof a q-pod when the q-pod is disengagedfrom thesocketorreload socket.


27/59

step 2.3.14Yourq-loaderis now ready to be used.

step 2.3.15Swap emptied or partially emptied q-pods

with full or partially full q-pods as needed.

notice

Store emptied q-pods in a clean and dryplace like a harness or belt. Avoid gettingdirt inside q-pods.

warning

Always follow strict safety procedureswhen using or being around yourq-loaderand/or paintball gear.

The following steps will guide you through the proper procedures for safely and effectivelymaintaining and caring for yourq-loader.

notice

Replacement parts can be purchased from any q-loaderdealer or directly from theq-loaderwebsite (section 5).


32/59

3.1. unload paintballs >It is not advisable to leave paintballs in yourq-loaderafter game-play is over. Paintballs

should be stored in an airtight container to keep them fresh for later use. Removing thepaintballs will also allow you to inspect yourq-loaderfor paint residue and dirt.

The following steps will guide you through proper procedures for safely unloading paint-balls from yourq-loader.

notice

Unloading a q-pod is fast and easy, and is good way to prolong the life of thespring. Leav-ing thespring tensioned for an extended period of time is not recommended.

3.2. cleaningCleaning yourq-loaderis simple and usually the only routine maintenance that is re-

quired. You may use mild soap (common dish soap) and warm water to clean the compo-nents if they have dirt or paint residue on them.

Yourq-loadercan usually be cleaned without being disassembled (section 3.3). The com-ponents are all water safe, and may be fully submerged in water if necessary.

warning

The q-pod contains a high-poweredspring. When disassembling a q-pod, the force of thespring could cause the internal q-pod parts to be ejected uncontrollably. This presents apotential hazard that could cause severe bodily injury.

Refer to the q-pod disassembly section for safely disassembling a q-pod (section 3.3).

step 3.6.3To pre-wind thespring motorfrom a neutral orrested state, pull thespring connectorback past

the hex nutand turn the winderclock-wise 12 to16 times. After becoming familiar with your sys-tem you may find it necessary to add or subtractpre-winds with out completely unwinding yourspring motorfirst.

note

Turning the windercounter clock-wise will decrease thespring motortension, and turningthe winderclock-wise will increase thespring motortension.

Make sure the hex nutat the end of thespring motoris threaded back against the damper

before inserting thespring motorback into the q-pod (as shown in the picture).


57/59

step 3.6.4Once the pre-winds are added, make sure the hex nutat the end of thespring motoris

threaded back against the damper(as shown in the above left picture) then move thespring connectorover the hex nutand release.

Thespring motoris now ready to be inserted back into the q-pod.

warning

Do not cover any of the vent holes on your marker, as this may cause your air system to ruptureand cause severe bodily injury.

4. safety & precautions >Paintball industry standard eye/face/ear and head protection, designed specifically for

paintball games, must be worn by user and any person within range. Do not shoot at aperson at close range. Must be at least 18 years of age to purchase. Persons under 18years of age must only use under adult supervision. Observe all local laws, regulationsand guidelines. Use only on professional paintball fields where codes of safety are strictlyenforced. Use .68 caliber paintballs only.

Do not interfere with any of the safety features your marker may have while setting up or usingyourq-loader.

A q-pod contains a high-poweredspring. When disassembling a q-pod, the force of thespringcould cause the internal q-pod parts to be ejected uncontrollably. This presents a potentialhazard that could cause severe bodily injury.

Refer to the disassembly section for safely disassembling a q-pod (section 3.3).

Do not insert your fingers into a q-pod, as the parts may cause severe bodily injury.

caution

Do not attempt to wind a q-pod and dry-fire or freely unwind it. This may damage the internalq-pod parts.

Use only fresh and good quality paintballs.
