BKO OVERVIEW The BKO is a high quality paintball marker specially designed to meet the needs of the professional style tournament player. The BKO is an electronic solenoid actuated computer controlled marker. The major components of the BKO are machined from solid, aircraft-grade aluminum, and then hard anodized per military specifications. Only the highest quality materials are used in the construction of the BKO, thereby providing the end user with a high-quality, precision-engineered marker.
OPERATION Read the entire manual before you prepare your BKO for firing. 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 charge your marker with compressed air and paintballs. Do not load compressed air and paintballs into your BKO until you feel completely confident with your ability to handle your BKO safely.
CO2, Nitrogen or Compressed Air Usage The BKO comes with a macroline male quick-disconnect adapter on the bottom of the regulator. The BKO can be set up to use a nitrogen or compressed air system. Although it may be used, CO2 is not recommended for use as the propellant. Adjustable regulator compressed air systems: The input pressure from your compressed air system should be regulated down to 350-500 PSI output pressure.
Paintball and Loader Usage The BKO comes equipped to accept 1.03" OD standard-gravity feed loaders. Fit the loader directly into the vertical feed tube. Always twist it down in a CLOCKWISE direction. Always twist it off in a CLOCKWISE direction as well. The BKO uses .68 caliber, water-soluble paintballs. The paintballs are gravity fed from the loader through the direct vertical feed nipple and into the breech of the marker.
Unloading the BKO Keep your finger out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger; point the muzzle of your marker in a safe direction during this entire process. Always keep your BKO pointed in a safe direction! 1. Install the barrel blocking device 2. Push the on-off switch to the off position. The LED will be off. 3. Remove the pressurized gas from the marker carefully. 4. Tilt the marker so that the loader is upside down and beneath the body of the marker. 5.
Simple Maintenance Keep your BKO clean and lubricated to eliminate the friction that would prevent reliable operation. Clean and lube the marker before each use, and do not put it away dirty. USE NO OILS! Do not use petroleum-based lubricants in the lubrication of this marker. Do not use oils “made for paintball markers”. Do not use oils “made for pneumatic tools”. Teflon or silicone spray lubricants are the recommended types of lubrication for the bolt area of the main housing.
Removing the Bolt Assembly (Field Stripping) The marker can be field stripped while it is pressurized but this is not recommended. 1. 2. 3. 4. Install the barrel blocking device. Push the on-off switch to the off position. The LED will be off. Remove the pressurized gas from the marker carefully. Remove (pull) the knurled pin from the top of the marker. Pull the bolt body out the back of the main body.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION - Your BKO must be clear of all paintballs and propellant when not being used. - Be sure the on-off switch is off and the LED is not lighted. - Put the barrel blocking device in place. - Make sure the marker is clean. - Store your BKO in a secure, clean, cool and dry place. - Keep your BKO away from any unauthorized users. Your BKO must be clear of all paint and any source of propellant during transportation to and from the playing field. Keep your barrel blocking device in place.
ADJUSTING THE TRIGGER PULL You will notice two screws in your trigger. These screws adjust the length of pull and actuation point of the trigger. The bottom screw adjusts your trigger stop point (length of pull). The top screw is the contact point for your micro switch. 1. Use blue loctite while adjusting the screws. Normal activity can cause the screws to back out of adjustment. DO NOT glob the loctite on, it can cause damage to the micro switch if you use too much. 2.
BKO TUNING GUIDE Main Input pressure regulator adjustment: The BKO operates on a proven and innovative system. Take the time to understand this section. The pressurized gas is regulated internally. The pressure regulator is externally adjustable via the screw in the side of the high-pressure regulator. A 3/32 allen key for this screw has been provided to access to this screw. To increase the pressure apply the wrench into the screw and turn clockwise.
Low pressure regulator adjustment: The low pressure regulator is your main source for paintball velocity adjustments. The low pressure regulator is the small cylindrical body that located directly in front of the marker and directly below the barrel. The low pressure regulator is externally adjustable via the adjustment screw in the front of the regulator using a quarter, or broad head screw driver.
Troubleshooting Guide Leak Related Problems 1. The BKO has a leak down the barrel. Reason: gas is leaking through or around the valve pin seal or O-ring area. a. Can you hear the leak when the gas is removed? Yes? There is no leak. You hear the ocean. b. The valve seal is marred, scratched, worn out or dirty. Replace it. 2. The BKO has a leak around the high pressure regulator seam. Reason: the seal between the regulator body and the main body or the regulator adapter is bad. a.
Ball Breakage Problems 1. The ball breaks in the breech. a. The balls in your loader can bind, messing up your trigger timing. Note: Always use an agitated loader. b. As you run and shoot, you actually unweigh the gravity-fed balls in your loader. This can cause a ball to hesitate in its drop. This affects your trigger timing. c. If the ball retention ball does not move freely, the paintballs will crush against it or it may have stuck in the depressed position allowing double feeding.
3. The gauge reads correctly when charged, but drops in pressure after a few shots, and is slow to climb back to normal pressure. a. The recovery side of the regulator is sluggish and may need cleaning and lubrication. If you need assistance in the disassembly of the regulator, please call (208) 468-0446. b. The regulator seal needs to be replaced if it has a deep groove in it from the regulator cup. Replacing or removing the original regulators voids all warranties. Battery Related Problems 1.
LIMITED WARRANTY The manufacturer warrants the replacement of any original part due to defect in materials and/or workmanship of this air marker. This warranty will be in effect for twelve (12) months for parts and twelve (12) months for labor following the original date of purchase for the original purchaser.

Paintball Marker Safety Rules 1. Treat every marker as if it were loaded. 2. Never look down the barrel of a paintball marker. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. 4. Never point the marker at anything you don’t wish to shoot. 5. Keep the marker on SAFE until ready to shoot. 6. Keep the barrel blocking device in/on the marker’s muzzle when not shooting. 7.
