Filling the Cylinder.
Removing the cylinder from the rifle.
To fill the cylinder it must first be removed from the main body of the rifle. This is achieved by
unscrewing the cylinder in a anticlockwise direction. Fig 11. The cylinder should only be hand tight, if
this is not the case use the spanner provided to loosen the cylinder, then continue without the spanner
Fig 12.
Note. When removing the cylinder from the rifle there may be a sound of air escaping, this is
normal. Unscrew the cylinder enough to allow the air seal to break,wait for the release of air to stop
then unscrew the cylinder the rest of the way.
Once the cylinder has been completely unscrewed remove it from the rifle.
Filling adaptor.
Fit the filling adaptor supplied to your chosen filling kit i.e. scuba bottle or pump. This simply
screws in and seals down on the O ring in the adaptor.
With the adaptor, Fig 13, attached to your filling
kit, screw the end of the cylinder into the adaptor.
Close the bleed valve on the adaptor. Fig 14, and
slowly open the main valve on the filling bottle or start
pumping. When the air in the hose equalizes with the
air in the cylinder, the cylinder will start to fill. Con-
tinue to slowly fill the cylinder until the required
pressure of 200bar is reached. Note. Always use the
gauge on the filling equipment and not on the rifle.
