It is possible that certain conditions may affect a CO
2
capsule, which can impact
its proper performance. These conditions include the usage, maintenance and
storage at temperatures that are higher or lower than normal outdoors temperatures
(60º-80º F/16º-27º C). Another condition may be when the airgun is red rapidly.
1. High temperatures can increase pressure in the CO
2
capsule and also within
the airgun, leading to higher than standard operating pressure. This excess
pressure could cause the airgun to malfunction or be permanently damaged.
Maximum storage or operation temperature should never exceed 122°F (50°C).
This temperature can be reached if you leave the airgun under direct sunlight
on a bright day. Thus, to ensure proper airgun operation, do not expose it to
high temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods of time. Otherwise, the CO
2
capsule could overheat and explode, which could damage the airgun and cause
injuries or death to people around it.
2. Fast consecutive shooting may produce a decrease of temperature in the
airgun, as well as the CO
2
capsule. This could result in lower projectile velocities
and may even lower gas pressure enough so that the airgun will not re. This
condition can be especially apparent when shooting in cold weather and can be
avoided by allowing more time between shots. This permits the gas to increase in
temperature and pressure and produce normal velocities.
3. During rapid re, the muzzle velocity of each shot will diminish. This can affect
shooting accuracy and you will get fewer shots per CO
2
capsule.
4. Care should be exercised to insure that the airgun is not shot with a CO
2
capsule
that is low in pressure. Here are some indicators of insufcient pressure:
A) The sound of the shot is not as loud as when the capsule is full.
B) The projectile hits the target, but in a lower position than it would with a full
CO
2
capsule (that is, the shooting speed has dropped).

8. Trouble
Shooting
With care and routine inspections your airgun will provide many sessions of
shooting enjoyment. Abuse, neglect and continued exposure to the elements will
impair the performance of any airgun. To ensure continued proper function, apply
1 to 2 drops of RWS Spring Cylinder oil onto all moving parts such as the gas
capsule piercing knob and the trigger hinge (1000 shots).
7. Maintaining Your Airgun
OILS THAT CONTAIN ACID OR RESIN CAN DAMAGE SEALS AND POSSIBLY THE FINISH OF
THE AIRGUN.
BEFORE ANY CARE, CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE, ALWAYS BE SURE YOUR AIRGUN IS
UNLOADED. KEEP POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PERFORM ROUTINE
INSPECTIONS AND MAINTAIN YOUR AIRGUN PROPERLY.
CAUTION
AN AIRGUN THAT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY
BE DANGEROUS. IT SHOULD BE KEPT SAFELY FROM USE BY ANYONE UNTIL
REPAIRED OR DESTROYED. DO NOT TRY TO TAKE THE AIRGUN APART. IT IS
DIFFICULT TO REASSEMBLE AND IMPROPER DISASSEMBLY OR REASSEMBLY
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
