User's Handbook

Once the desired pressure is reached close the main

valve on the filling bottle or stop pumping. Open the

bleed valve on the adaptor, this will vent the trapped air

in the hose and allow the cylinder to be unscrewed from

the adaptor. If you don’t vent the adaptor, air trapped in

the hoses makes removing the cylinder from the filling

kit very difficult and may cause damage to the adaptor

seals.

With the vent screw open unscrew the cylinder

from the filling adaptor.

Cock the action (this is to make sure the firing

valve is closed to stop air venting down the barrel) and

screw the cylinder back onto the rifle. The cylinder

should be hand tight.

DO NOT USE THE SPANNER TO TIGHTEN

THE CYLINDER ONTO THE RIFLE.

REMEMBER THE RIFLE IS NOW IN A COCKED STATE AND READY TO FIRE, IT

SHOULD NOW BE DE-COCKED OR FIRED OFF.

Note. The threads of the cylinder and cylinder extension, (where the cylinder screws into the

rifle) must be protected and kept free of grit or dust. A thin coating of grease, such as Napier VP90

gun grease, may be applied to reduce friction on the threads.

It is also recommend that the cylinder pressure be allowed to fall to 100bar-110bar before

removing to fill. Although this is not critical it will make the removal of the cylinder to refill easier.

Note on pumps.

If you are going to use a pump as your filling kit

you will also need the pump adaptor, Fig 15, available

from Air Arms. Order reference. Z2128-300.

Air Arms recommend that pump usage instructions

are closely followed so as not to damage the cylinder of

the rifle.

Also available for the HILLS pump is a drypac

filter kit which will remove most of the moisture in the

atmoshere.
