W A N I N G QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
BATTE Y INSTALLATION
No tools are required for battery installation, just follow the simple instructions found on
page 2. Three AA batteries are required to operate the Rotor Loader. When installing the
batteries make sure to install them the correct way by following the + and - polarity
markings on the battery holder.
MOUNTING OTO LOADE ON A MA KE
ake sure the Rotor Loader is securely mounted on you marker's
feedneck and the Rotor Loaders feed tube is bottomed out on your
marker's feed neck.
It is recommended to use an adjustable clamping feed neck system
with the Rotor Loader.
Do not over tighten your marker’s feed neck on the Rotor Loader as
it may damage the Rotor Loader.
TU NING THE OTO LOADE ON/OFF
Once the batteries have been installed and the Rotor Loader is fully
assembled, simply press the power button at the rear of the Rotor
Loader (see figure 1a). As soon as the LED light indicator
comes on, the loader is ready to go.
There is no programming or boot up sequence to worry about,
just load up paintballs and go.
IF OTO LOADE JAMS PAINT
In the unlikely event that the Rotor Loader jams paint,
simply give the jam release trigger a quick pull.
This will turn the center rotor arm in reverse, quickly
clearing the jam. The jam release trigger is located on the
underside of the Rotor Loader (see figure 1b).
WA NING: ESULTS MAY VE Y DEPENDING ON THE
QUALITY OF PAINTBALLS USED WITH THE OTO LOADE .

Low batteries may cause the otor Loader not
to function properly.
Dirt and heavy dust can create excess friction
and cause the loader to malfunction.
Over filling the otor Loader with paintballs and
forcing the lid closed will cause jamming.

ASSEMBLYASSEMBLY
INSTALLING OTO CA OUSEL
1. Place the planetary gear assembly at bottom of the bottom shell. ake sure the outer
teeth mesh with the white cheese gear.
2. Install the rotor base over the planetary gear assembly. The rotor base should sit
under the front retaining ledge (see p icture 4b) and level with the front of the
gearbox.
3. Install the center rotor arm. The center rotor arm should only rotate counter-
clockwise ½turn. You should feel constant spring tension while rotating it.
4. Install the upper rotor. The upper rotor should fit under the front retaining ledge
and sit level with the top of the gearbox.
5. The upper rotor should rotate freely ¼turn.
6. The two retaining tabs should rotate over the rotor carousel without binding
the upper rotor.
7. By rotating the two red locking tabs inward, the rotor carousel and gearbox will
be locked into the bottom shell.
ASSEMBLE T AY AND LOADE TOP
1. Slide the front of floor tray under retaining ledge at front of bottom shell.
2. Lower back of floor tray down and snap it under the rear-retaining ledge.
3. Hook the front nose of the top shell into the bottom shell. Depress the main
locking tab at the rear of the loader while lowering the top shell. ake sure the
tongue and groove mate up properly.
4. Depress the secondary locking tab down into the locked position once the top

INSTALLING THE GEA BOX
1. ake sure the jam release trigger is in the forward position (highlighted yellow in figure 4a).
2. ake sure the on/off button is in the rear position.
The on/off button is held in place by the gearbox.
Take care not to lose the on/off button during disassembly or assembly.
3. Place the rear edge of the gearbox under the retaining ledge at the back of the bottom
shell (highlighted green in figure 4a).
4. Lower the front of the gearbox into position. The support walls on the gearbox
should line up with the support walls in the bottom shell (highlighted blue in figure 4a).
5. ake sure the gearbox is fully seated and sitting level in the bottom shell.

CLEANING AND GENE AL MAINTENANCE
W W W . R O T O R L O A D E R . C O
CLEANING AND GENE AL MAINTENANCE
Clean your Rotor Loader immediately (same day) after each use or whenever it is dirty or covered with paint.
WARNING: Keep gearbox free of water.
WARNING: Clean only with plain water. Chemical cleaners (Windex®, 409®, Simple Green®, etc.) contain alcohol and detergents which can
weaken the Rotor Loader.
WARNING: Never store the DYE® Rotor Loader in areas that may have chemical fumes. Gasoline, kerosene, alcohol and other chemicals
and fumes will weaken the Rotor Loader.
WARNING: Never store the DYE® Rotor Loader in areas of extreme heat or cold. Temperature extremes will damage the Rotor Loader.
Store the Rotor Loader in a cool, well-ventilated place.
OTO LOADE NOT TU NING ON
If your Rotor Loader does not turn on when the on/off button is pressed check the following steps:
1. ake sure the Rotor Loader is empty of all paintballs.
2. Check that the gearbox is inserted correctly into the bottom shell, follow instructions on page 4.
You should hear an audible click when pushing the on/off button.
3. Check that the batteries are fresh and installed the correct way. For battery installation follow instructions on page 2.
4. ake sure the wire from the battery pack to the gearbox is fully inserted into the connector.
5. Check that the Jam Release Trigger is all the way forward. If you turn the loader on but there is no spring tension pulling the Jam Release
trigger back re-insert the gearbox into the bottom shell.
OTO LOADE IS LOUD
If the Rotor Loader sounds very loud while running, please do a thorough cleaning of all parts. Dust and dirt will cause excessive sound.
OTO LOADE IS JAMMING
If you are getting paintballs jammed in the Rotor Loader please check the following steps.
1. ake sure the two red retaining tabs are turned to locked position. For instructions see page 5.
2. Check that all Rotor Loader parts are clean of any dirt and debris.
3. Install new batteries into the Rotor Loader. If you notice a significant increase in the rotating speed of the carousel, this could be the cause.
4. ake sure you are using fresh, good quality paintballs. Use of soft / wet paintballs or reballs can cause jamming.
5. With no paintballs in the Rotor Loader, pull back the Jam Release Trigger. It should have a spring tension pushing it forward.
If not, please re-insert the gearbox into the bottom shell.
