Section VI. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Charging the Rifle:
Fit the filler nozzle to the air-line of the charging equipment, which must incorporate a pressure gauge.
Ensure both filler nozzle and rifle filler hole are clear from dirt and push the nozzle into the filler hole.
Fill the rifle to the cylinder pressure quoted previously in this manual. Do not exceed the maximum fill
pressure as this will reduce the velocity of the rifle and may damage rifle components. When using the
divers bottle, refill the rifle slowly to prevent the heat created by the filling operation damaging the rifles
components.

*Undo the bleeder valve on the hose before disconnecting the fill nozzle from the rifle.
You can assemble spare air cylinder to your rifle. In order to do that, first remove the air
cylinder mounted on the rifle by turning it counter-clockwise. Then assemble the spare
air cylinder by aligning and rotating it clockwise.

Loading the rifle & shooting :

1. The magazine incorporates a raised boss on its rear face and can only be fitted
one way to the rifle. It rotates clockwise when viewed from the rear of the rifle. The
groove on the side of the barrel housing allows you to observe whether the next Filler
magazine chamber about to rotate into alignment with the barrel is loaded with a Nozzle
pellet or empty.
2. To remove the magazine, pull the forearm slide until it locks and push forward
the magazine release bolt and lock it at the forward position. Then remove the
magazine by pulling it to the right (Fig. 7). THIS OPERATION COCKS THE TRIGGER
MECHANISM/HAMMER ASSEMBLY. IF THE SAFETY IS SET TO OFF POSITION AND
THE TRIGGER IS PULLED, THE RIFLE WILL DISCHARGE.
3. Load pellets through the rear of the magazine (Fig. 8). Push the pellet noses through
the retaining O-ring until their skirts lie flush or below the bottom of the magazine Fig. 6
face.
4. Assemble back the loaded magazine. Then release the magazine release bolt so that it locks at the
rear. (Fig. 9). If necessary rotate the magazine counter-clockwise until its movement is arrested by the
magazine stop.
DO NOT CLOSE THE FOREARM SLIDE UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT. ENSURE THE FOREARM
SLIDE IS FULLY CLOSED BEFORE SHOOTING THE RIFLE AS ITS PERFORMANCE WILL BE AFFECTED
IF NOT FULLY CLOSE.

5. Push back the forearm slide as shown in Fig. 9.
6. Sight-in either with sights or other optic sights; disengage safety and get ready
for shooting.
7. Pull the trigger gently and the rifle will shoot.
8. To reload rifle, pull the foream slide fully and close so the next pellet
is indexed with the barrel. Then repeat above items 6 & 7.

Note: As the pellets are used and the magazine rotates, its empty chambers
become visible above the barrel housing. These chambers may be refilled as they
are revealed without removing the magazine if desired. Fig. 8

Note: You cannot cock the rifle and index the next pellet in the magazine unless you shoot the previous
pellet in the barrel. This is because of a feature which prevents more than one pellet being loaded in the
barrel which may cause damage to the rifle.

The Use of the Action Release Button
The action release button is located in front of the trigger and once pressed it enables you to pull back the
forearm slide without discharging the air rifle. While doing that please note that the air rifle is still cocked
and will discharge if the trigger is pulled.

Butt Bad Adjustment:

The butt pad is adjustable for height and it rotates slightly over stock providing you the perfect height and
angle of the butt pad. In order to adjust the butt pad, simply loosen the bolt in the butt pad with a suitable
allen wrench and heighten or lower it according to shooting conformance. Then tighten the bolt.

Section VII. MAINTENANCE

WARNING!
Never attempt to disassemble this rifle when it is charged, except for removal and replacement of
the air cylinder. Never shoot the rifle when the air cylinder is removed or empty. Failure to obey this
instruction could result in damage to your rifle.
Never lubricate inside the barrel as this will affect the accuracy & grouping of the rifle in negative
manner.

Occasionally apply proper mineral based oils sparingly to the following parts:
• The trigger mechanism
• The pellet probe
• The cocking lever sliding surface
• The stern of the magazine pin and the magazine release.
• The magazine axis hole and the outer O-ring.

DO NOT OVER-LUBRICATE THE RIFLE!

• It is recommended to clean the barrel with a cleaning rod every 500 shots. Never lubricate inside the
barrel.
• Before you begin oiling or cleaning your air gun, always check to make sure it is unloaded.
• Always be sure your air gun barrel is clean and not blocked.
• After cleaning ensure that no cleaning patch or other obstruction remains in the barrel.
• Annually, take your air gun to a gunsmith even if it seems to be working well, since some issues in
your air gun may not be apparent from external examination.
• Take your air gun to a gunsmith if water, sand, etc. enters the internal mechanism of the air gun, for
complete cleaning.
• Dangerous conditions may occur if you do not keep your air gun clean and working properly.

Quick Fill Nozzle O-Rings Replacement

After a period of time, the O-rings on the fill nozzle will need to be replaced. The need for this will become
6
noticeable if air is heard leaking from the nozzle or the nozzle ejected from the rifle while charging the
rifle. Always ensure to replace both O-rings.

Magazine O-rings Replacement

The O-ring which retains the pellets in the magazine will need to be replaced after many hundreds of
shots have been fired. Its replacement becomes apparent when the rifle’s cocking lever becomes stiff to
operate. Repositioning the O-ring in its groove may also overcome the stiffness. Lightly oil the replace-
ment O-ring before fitting.

Safety Measures & Warnings

• This air gun will shoot if cocked, loaded, safety disengaged and trigger pulled.
• Air guns are not toys. Never let young children use an air gun unsupervised. Adult supervision is
strictly required during use. Misuse or careless use may cause serious injury or death.
• Learn how your air gun operates and safe air gun handling procedures before loading and using it.
• ALWAYS USE EYE & HEARING PROTECTION AND MAKE BYSTANDERS USE THE SAME. Failure to do
so may result in eye injuries and permanent hearing loss.
• Do not point at anything you do not intend to shoot even though the air gun is unloaded. Always keep
the air gun pointed in a safe direction.
• Never pull an air gun toward you by the muzzle.
• Always aim at a safe target, taking care that it does not conceal any other object.
• Before you shoot, consider where the pellet will travel should you miss your intended target, thus
ensuring no damage or harm could result.
• Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger. Never shoot at sounds.
• When shooting, always have a safe shooting range, that is; have a safe area for shooting, a safe
distance between you and the target, and a safe backstop to trap the pellets and hold the target.
• Do not shoot at a target, which allows ricochets or deflections. Do not shoot into or at water.
• Do not shoot at or near power lines or insulators. Be especially careful in wooded areas where power
lines may not be as visible.
• Do not load the air gun until you are ready to shoot.
• Always keep your fingers away from the trigger & muzzle during cocking and handling.
• Do not walk, run or jump when carrying a loaded or cocked air gun. A loaded or a cocked air gun
should never be carried inside a vehicle, house, camp or public place. Never climb a tree or fence or
jump a ditch with a loaded air gun. In such a case, first unload it and hand the air gun to a friend or
place it on the ground on the other side of the obstacle before crossing yourself.
• When transporting the air gun, keep it unloaded and ‘on safe’.
• Always keep the air gun ‘on safe’ until you are ready to shoot even if the air gun is unloaded.
• Do not put the air gun away loaded and unattended.
• Always check to see if the air gun is ‘on safe’ and unloaded when getting it from another person or
from storage.
• Always keep the air gun and/or pellets out of the reach of children. Keep the air gun and pellets in
separate places, better if under lock and key.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your air gun. Use a competent gunsmith. Many air guns
contain powerful springs or high pressure air cylinders which can cause serious injury if released in an
uncontrolled manner.
• Always handle and treat your air gun as though it were loaded.
• Improper use or handling of air guns is not the responsibility of the manufacturer or distributor, under
any circumstances. The user is responsible for any harm, which may be caused.
• Think first, shoot second. Don’t rely on any mechanical safety. Half safe is not safe.
• Be safe not sorry. Respect other’s property.
• Air guns should never be used under the influences of alcohol or drugs.
