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 gun is
red rapidly.
1. High temperatures can increase pressure in the CO
2
capsule and also
within the gun, leading to higher than standard operating pressure. This
excess pressure could cause the gun 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 gun under
direct sunlight on a bright day. Thus, to ensure proper gun 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 gun, as well as the CO
2
capsule. This could result in lower projectile
velocities and may even lower gas pressure enough so that the pistol 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 gun is not shot with a CO
2
capsule that is low in pressure. Here are some indicators of insufcient
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).
CO
2
CAPSULES MAY EXPLODE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE
122° F. DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE THEM. DO NOT EXPOSE THEM TO
HEAT OR STORE CO
2
CAPSULES AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 122°F.

9. 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
BB follower, gas capsule piercing knob and the trigger hinge (1000 shots).
8. Maintaining Your Airgun
OILS THAT CONTAIN ACID OR RESIN CAN DAMAGE SEALS AND POSSIBLY THE FINISH OF
THE AIRGUN.
CAUTION
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.
