Instruction Manual
Fill your rifle with a hand pump
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 relling your rie. Be sure the rie is
unloaded before lling.
NEVER ll your rie 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 rie to re at a
much lower velocity. The quick-ll dust cap is located at the end of the air reservoir tube, which is 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 rie, rotate the dust cap to close off the receptor port. Any dirt
that enters can cause valve failure. When lling your rie for the rst time, you must cock the rie
before lling if it was shipped unpressurized.
A hand pump is the most convenient way to ll your rie.
Lay your rie next to your hand pump, making sure your
rie is pointed in a safe direction. The pump adapter
probe should be within easy reach of the rie adapter
port.
Hand-tighten the bleeder valve on the base of the pump.
Carefully insert the adapter probe from the pump hose
into the rie'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. Other lubricants may have a low ash
point. It is extremely dangerous to use such products with
high-pressure devices. Doing so can lead to an explosion.
Put 12 pump strokes into the rie. This should prime
the hose enough so you can take an initial reading of
the rie'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 rie 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 rie's receptor port.
