Instruction Manual

Lay your rie next to your hand pump, making
sure your rie is pointed in a safe direction.
The pump adapter probe should be within easy
reach of the rie adapter port.
Hand-tighten the bleeder valve on the base of
the pump. Carefully insert the adapter probe
from the pump hose into the rie's exposed
receptor port, taking care not to snag the
double o-ring on the edges of the dust cap.
Use silicone grease (sold in dive shops) to
lubricate the o-rings before each ll. Caution:
Use only silicone grease on the o-rings. See
warnings on page 11.
Put 12 pump strokes into the rie. This should
prime the hose enough so you can take an
initial reading of the rie's current pressure level. If you hear air leaking, carefully
check all connections. If you cannot resolve the air leaks, contact the retailer that
sold you the pump for troubleshooting assistance.
Begin pumping in 20 stroke sets, taking a reading each time of
the pressure level and allowing at least a 2-minute cooling period
between each set, especially when the pressure reaches 172
bar/2,500 psi. Do not exceed 206 bar/3,000 psi.
The best technique to operate the pump is to use your upper body
weight to push down on the pump, keeping your arms rigid. This
method is less fatiguing than using only the strength of your arms
to push the pump handle. Once your rie has reached the desired
pressure, open the bleeder valve on the base of the pump. You will hear a loud rush
of air (and maybe see some water vapor) escape from the small hole in the base of
the pump. You may now safely remove the pump's probe adapter from the rie's
receptor port.

NOTE: USE COMPRESSED AIR ONLY. Other gases are dangerous and will void the warranty.
To ensure safe operation, avoid distractions such as children or animals when relling your
rie. Be sure the rie is unloaded before lling. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection
when lling with high-pressure air.
NEVER ll your rie over 206 bar/3,000 psi. This is dangerous and will void the warranty. In
an over-lled condition (above 206 bar/3,000 psi), the regulator may malfunction and cause
the rie to re at a much lower velocity. The quick-ll dust cap is located at the end of one of
the air reservoir tubes below the barrel. DO NOT REMOVE IT! Simply rotate the cap in either
direction until the female receptor port is exposed. After you nish lling your rie, rotate
the dust cap to close off the receptor port. Any dirt that enters can cause valve failure. When
