IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ Before leaving the factory this rifle was Q.A. inspected and test fired using Air Arms PELLETS to check operation and final adjustment. It was dispatched in a sealed purpose designed box with a contents label on the lid. Air Arms may not be responsible for any damage to the contents or missing items if the box is not original, if it is damaged or the seals are not intact.
Important information continued. CHECKING VELOCITY 1 2 3 Use a reliable chronograph to check velocity, (the formula below requires the reading to be in feet per second - FPS) Use fine measurement scales to weigh the pellet, If scales are unavailable the pellet weight may be stated on the pellet container lid or contact the supplier. (The formula requires the weight to be in grains). To convert from grams to grains multiply by 15.432, i.e. 0.69 grams x 15.432 = 10.65 grains.
GENERALMAINTENANCEAND LUBRICATION MAINTENANCE FIXINGS Regularly check the tightness of all fixings. However do not be tempted to over tighten as some parts are made from aluminium and stripped threads may result. Stripped threads are not covered by the manufacturers warranty. BARREL For ultimate accuracy, clean and re-lube the barrel frequently.
Apply a small dab of grease on the loading bolt and work-in by moving the bolt forwards and backwards. Wipe off excessive grease. Preferred grease is ‘napier g95 gun grease’. A small drop of oil should be applied to the magazine O ring to keep it moist, and increase its life span. On return from every shooting session, wipe all over the exterior with an oily rag to preserve the surface finish during storage.
MOUNTING/DEMOUNTING THE MAGAZINE & PELLETS DEMOUNTING Fully cock the rifle, grip the magazine as fig.1 and slide out of the bolt housing without lifting. Do not attempt to lift vertically as damage to the indexing spring will result. To refit the magazine, fully cock the rifle, grip the magazine as fig.2 and slide in the bolt housing applying downward pressure with the fore finger to keep the base of the magazine against the bottom of the slot in the bolt housing.
TRIGGER ADJUSTMENTS The S400 & S410 models all have the same trigger mechanism. It is a two stage unit with adjustment to both stages plus a weight of pull adjustment. It is easy to upset the balance between the two stages and make the trigger inoperable if incorrectly adjusted. If you have no experience of adjusting two stage triggers seek guidance or leave the trigger as set by the factory. Note ! Incorrectly adjusted trigger mechanisms are not covered by the manufacturers warranty.
This rifle is fitted with a manual safety button located in the trigger blade. To make the rifle safe the button must be pressed until it is flush with the side of the trigger blade. Please note that it is possible to stop the safety button working with incorrect trigger adjustment. With the button pressed in the rifle is safe. With the button out the rifle is now ready to fire.
FILLING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE ! ONLY USE CLEAN, DRY AND FILTERED COMPRESSED AIR, PREFERABLY FROM A SHOP. OVER PRESSURISATION MAY DAMAGE THE CYLINDER BEYOND REPAIR. DIVING First the female part of the filling kit (this was supplied with the rifle) must be fitted to your filling equipment. The female part (S475) has a 1/8th BSP male thread that screws directly into the hose of your pump or bottle. Next remove the dust cover from the end of your rifle.
With the female in place the gun can now be filled. If the rifle is empty the mechanism will need to be cocked to allow the firing valve to close. If the rifle is not cocked when the bottle is opened or the pump used, the air will past the valve and exhaust through the barrel. Check that the bleed valve on the filling equipment is closed (turn clockwise to close) then slowly open the main valve on bottle or start using the pump. The pressure in the hose will equalise and then the rifle will start to fill.
SAFETY You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes. Always aim your air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and backstop and the area around the target is clear, take the air rifle OFF SAFE and squeeze the trigger to fire. Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or something you had not intended to hit. Always choose your target carefully.
