CAUTION:

HANDLING THE COMPRESSED AIR CYLINDER

Note: To guarantee good operation, make sure you use only Walther accessories.

Insert the new compressed air cylinder into the forearm first (Fig. 2.a) and screw it tight. The airgun is now under pressure. To test whether the cylinder has been screwed in correctly, make sure the airgun is not loaded and shoot in a safe direction. If the airgun doesn’t fire, check the items in Section 4 "Problems".

The airgun remains under pressure even after removal of the compressed air cylinder.

To release all the pressure, unscrew the compressed air cylinder, remove the rotary magazine and shoot in a safe direction until the airgun can no longer fire.

Filling procedure

The compressed air cylinder can be refilled at any time, even if it is not yet empty. When filling, observe the provisions of the TRG

(technical regulations relating to pressurized gas). The maximum permissible filling pressure of 300 bars must not be exceeded under any circumstances. Observe applicable national statutory regulations for refilling. Cylinders which are leaky or otherwise unsafe must not be refilled. Empty them in a safe manner. Screw the adapter onto the refill cylinder and tighten it. Then screw the compressed air cylinder onto the adapter and tighten it securely. Open the cylinder valve for approx. 5 seconds and then close it. Remove the cylinder and screw it back onto the airgun. Compressed air cylinders must never be used or stored above maximum pressure.

!

WARNING: Never try to use force when inserting a compressed air cylinder.

!

WARNING: Do not store compressed air cylinders at temperatures above 50°C (122 °C).

WARNING:

When removing any pellet from the barrel with a cleaning brush, place the rifle horizontally

(see chapter “Jams”). Do not hold the airgun in a vertical position, as the pellet could fall into the mechanism and cause damage.

!

WARNING:

Never use sharp metal objects to remove pellets from the rotary magazine or the airgun.

Any damage to the rotary magazine or the barrel could cause faulty operation.

!

WARNING:

Make sure that the airgun always points in a safe direction. Never point at people or animals. Always handle the airgun as if it were loaded and ready to fire.

!

WARNING:

Due to this airgun’s high shooting capacity, take particular care and caution in choosing a safe target. Only choose targets that cannot be pierced and that do not have a hard surface that can cause ricochets. Never shoot at liquid surfaces.

REPEATING (LOADING PROCESS)

INSTRUCTIONS ON THE USE OF COMPRESSED AIR CYLINDERS

Sometimes the performance of an airgun is adversely affected by special factors. Among these conditions we find usage, maintenance and storage at certain temperatures higher or lower than normal outdoors from 60-70° F (15 to 21 °C).

The air used must comply with DIN 3188 (breathing air).

The maximum operating pressure of the compressed air cylinder (300 bars) must never be exceeded.

!

WARNING:

Shooting with insufficient pressure can cause a pellet to lodge in the barrel. See the instructions on jams.

High temperatures can create a pressure in the compressed air cylinder and the airgun itself which considerably exceeds the normal operating pressure. This excessive pressure might prevent firing and cause permanent damage to the airgun. Maximum temperature of storage or operation should never exceed 122° F (50 °C).

Compressed air cylinders which are leaky, damaged or more than

10 years old should be emptied in a safe manner and not used or filled again. Ten years after the manufacturing date, the compressed air cylinder must be tested at the owner’s expense or replaced. The manufacturing date is recorded on the cylinder.

MODIFICATIONS IN THE AIRGUN

!
