the compressed air cylinder when you do not
use your compressed air rifle.
• Screw the compressed air cylinder 2 turns
out.
• Cock the rifle and release the trigger so
that the remaining air can escape.
• Repeat this process once or twice.
• Screw out the compressed air cylinder
completely by 3-4 further turns.
• Thus the compressed air cylinder can be
screwed out without any pressure on the
o-ring.
To change the compressed air cylinder
• Screw out the compressed air cylinder by
turning it counter-clockwise either
manually or with a key. Attention: Screw
out the compressed air cylinder until you
hear the air escape (at least four turns).
Then screw in the compressed air cylinder
again. Thus a damage to the seals will
be avoided.
To fill the compressed air cylinder
Before you fill the compressed air cylinder,
please check all components which are used
in this process such as refill bottle, refill adapter
and compressed air cylinder for defects (e.g.
at the threads).
Warning
• Only use refill bottles with a maximum
pressure of 200 bar (2,790 psi)
• Only use compressed air free of oil and
water (DIN EN 12021).
• Make sure that there is no oil or grease
on the connecting threads.
• Only use the original ANSCHÜTZ refill
adapter(Order No. 711.3409), which is
delivered with your rifle.
• To refill the compressed air cylinder we
recommend the use of diving bottles.
Filling process
• Screw the adapter on the refill bottle.
• Screw the compressed air cylinder onto
the adapter.
• Tighten the hexagon screw of the adapter
by hand to prevent air escape.
• Open the valve of the bottle very slowly
until no more flow noise is audible.
• Close the valve of the compressed air
bottle after approx. 5 seconds (The com-
pressed air cylinder will heat up slightly).
• Empty the adapter by releasing the hex
screw.
• Screw the hex screw into the adapter
again.
• Remove the compressed air cylinder and
screw it on the rifle by hand.
With a full cylinder (max. 200 bar/2790 psi)
approx. 300 shots (remaining pressure 65 bar
/ 943 psi) can be fired. With a Junior
compressed air cylinder 175 shots can be
fired. We recommend to never empty the
compressed air cylinder completely.
Compressed air bottles (Order No.
711.3510) are available in specialized gun
shops. The refilling of compressed air cylinders
is also possible in specialized gun shops or
in shops for diving equipment.
Warning
Compressed air refill bottles with an allowed
filling pressure of 300 bar (4,185 psi) are
offered as well. These bottles have the same
thread as the bottles with a filling pressure of
200 bar (2,790 psi). In case you use a bottle
with a filling pressure of 300 bar (4,185 psi)
it is absolutely necessary to use a pressure
reducer which is adapted to 200 bar /2,790
psi). For reasons of safety it is not allowed to
fill the compressed air cylinder with more than
the maximum pressure of 200 bar (2,790 psi).
Warning
Only original ANSCHÜTZ compressed air
cylinders (max. 200 bar) must be used!
Repair of compressed air cylinders must only
be carried out by the manufacturer. Original
spare parts must be used. If this is not
observed we will not assume any liability or
warranty.
To attach the compressed air cylinder
The compressed air cylinder must be screwed
in horizontally, slowly an carefully to avoid
any damage.
Attention
• Fill the compressed air cylinder before use
and screw it in manually.
• You feel a resistance before you reach
the stop, the valve thus opens auto-
matically.
• Screw the compressed air cylinder in for
approx. one more turn until there is an
airtight connection at the stop.
To remove the compressed air cylinder
To protect the housing, valves, seals and
springs we recommend you always remove
