B. Electronic Depressurizing Method
Performing the following procedure may exhaust air from the
barrel at a high rate and fire a bullet from the airgun if one is in the barrel. There-
fore, make certain the airgun is pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
• Move the cross block safety to “ON SAFE”.
• Keep the airgun pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Remove the clip.
• Close the airgun bolt by moving it forward and then downward.
• Rotate the bolt activation lever so the word, “DISABLED,” is visible to prevent the
bolt from moving. (See Section 3)
• Set the power mode to “DISCH.” (See Section 5)
• Move the bolt activation lever so the word, “ACTIVE,” is visible to allow movement of
the bolt. (See Section 3)
• Move the bolt handle to the “READY TO FIRE” position.
• Move the cross block safety to “OFF SAFE.”
• Keep the airgun pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Pull the trigger.
• Check the pressure on the EPiC™ display. (See Section 5)
• Cycle the bolt and fire the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION until there is there is only
1000psi of air remaining in the airgun.
8. Loading the Airgun
A. Loading the Clip
• Lift the clear cover over the catch point and rotate counter-clockwise in the direction
of the arrow (Fig. 8A). Rotate clip cover all the way around to the backside of the
catchpoint (Fig. 8B).
• Place a finger under the clip covering the hole, place the first bullet in the clip, nose
first ( Fig. 8C). Make certain the bullet does not protrude, out the back of the clip. In
the event the bullet does protrude simply push the bullet inward.
• After you fill the remaining slots in the clip, rotate the cover clockwise until it comes
to rest at the catch point (Fig. 8D). The clip is now ready for use.
B. Inserting the Clip
Following these directions will result in your airgun being loaded and ready to fire.
• Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (See Section 2) and point in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Pull the bolt back to the rearward position.
• With the cover of the clip facing the butt of the airgun insert the clip from the left side
and push it inward until it snaps into place. (Fig. 9A-C)
• Push the bolt forward fully and downward to chamber a bullet.
Double loading your airgun will prevent your airgun from working properly and may cause
damage. If you encounter resistance do not force the bolt. You will need to open the bolt
remove the clip and point the muzzle upward in a safe direction. Carefully shake the airgun and
the second bullet will fall out of the breech. See Section 21 OBI for instructions on determining
if you’ve double loaded your airgun.
9. Ammunition and Performance
Your airgun barrel is designed to work with the Benjamin ® and Benjamin ® by Nosler ® bul-
lets. Use of pure lead or lead alloy bullets in .356 to .358 diameter that are not designed
for this type of barrel will not give good performance and may damage the barrel.
