6 Safety flag The maximum filling pressure for compressed air cylinders is 200 bar at room temperature.WARNING!Danger of explosion!Overfilled compressed air cylinder.h The maximum filling pressure of 200 bar at roomtemperature must not be exceeded. When filling the compressed air cylinder, the compressed air must not contain oil, water orany other contaminant (DIN EN 12021 - breathing air). ANSCHÜTZ supplies compressed air cylinders unfilled, in accordance with the safety regulations.CAuTION! Compressed air cylinders must never be opened or modified mechanically bynon-authorised specialists.Malfunction and missing action pressure! The compressed air cylinder must be protected from forceful impacts.Bent loading mechanism caused by incorrect handling.h Never close the action if the safety flag is inserted. Compressed air cylinders are not intended for the transport of gases of any kind.NOTE!When filling (amongst other things, also for commercial purposes) the regulations of the "Technical Regulations for Compressed Gases (TRG)" or the legalregulations of the specific country must be compliedwith.10

10 Before using for the first time11 Soft-Link (Model 9003 Premium only)NOTE!The air rifle and the action carrier are connected together with the SoftLink connection system. This action fixing has a vibration-dampingfixed mount (in the area of the action housing) and a vibration-dampingfree mount (on the support).For safety reasons, check the action fixing each timebefore you shoot.XWipe off any excess oil from the surface of the barrelled action.XCleaning cord with cotton wicks (Cleaning Kit 507, OrderNo. 001491) to be pulled through the barrel from the chambertowards the muzzle.Tensions that are created as a result of different materials in air rifleactions and action carriers, and their different coefficients of thermalexpansion, are thus eliminated (tension-compensating thermal expansionjoint).The integrated Soft-Link vibration dampers also de-couple the air rifleaction and the action carrier. The oscillations and vibration created inthe air rifle action are effectively absorbed and cannot be felt in thealuminium stock by the marksman.The airgun is delivered with hard Soft-Link vibration damping. Thescope of delivery includes soft Soft-Link vibration damping.Changing the vibration damping is carried out as follows:X Release screws [1] on both sides.XRelease the set screws [2] on both sides (approx. 4 turns).XPull the support [3] off the action carrier towards the muzzle.XRemove the action [4] from the action carrier [5].Fixing to the barrelled action carrier:X Insert or replace the round (hard or soft) Soft-Link elements [C] onboth sides.12

Thetrigger blade can be moved along the guide, swung to the side andadjusted in height.The trigger blade can be removed completely and turned through180 . The longer part of the trigger blade now points downwards.The blade holder is asymmetric and can be fitted offset by 180 toprovide additional length adjustment. The lateral blade adjustment canalso be varied in the same way. By releasing the screw (8), the triggersear can be turned through 180 to permit offset to the side.20

15.9 Trigger faults caused by incorrect adjustment15.10 Basic adjustment of the triggerThe trigger catches the cocking piston or the firing pin, butdoes not shoot when the trigger is actuated:XNOTE!This procedure is used to reset all settings on thetrigger. With this starting setting, the trigger canthen be individually adjusted again.Make sure that the safety catch is released.) If the trigger stop setting screw [T] is screwed in too far by a fewturns:XScrew the trigger stop setting screw [T] to the left by a few turnsuntil the cocking piston or the firing pin actuates again when thetrigger is actuated.The trigger does not catch the cocking piston or firing pin:The setting screw [L] (first stage) is screwed in too far by a few turns.X Screw the setting screw [L] to the left by a few turns, until the triggercatches the cocking lever or the firing pin again.XThen set the desired first stage travel.XCheck that the tension spring [1] is undamaged and is hooked incorrectly.Setting screw [C], sear engagement, has been turned:X Turn the setting screw [C] by approx. 1 turn to the left.XCock the weapon, turn the screw [C] to the right until the weapondischarges. Then turn back by 1/5 of a turn.NOTE!The trigger function must be checked after everychange. When the fault is eliminated, check thedesired trigger values and reset them if necessary.21XRemove the action from the stock.XSet the adjusting screw [T] so that the head of the screw is flushwith the trigger housing surface [5].XSet the adjusting screw [L] so that the trigger sear [7] is horizontal.XCock the action.XSet the trigger using the relevant adjustment screws to give theindividual settings desired.

16 Dry firing device17 Compressed air cylinderThe safety catch can also be used as a dry firing device.X Open the cocking lever and swing it slowly to the rear until a stopis felt.The compressed air rifle is fitted with an exchangeable compressed aircylinder [4]. The compressed air cylinder [4] can be exchanged in boththe full and empty condition. On delivery, the compressed air cylinder[4] is not screwed in tightly. You should always use the covering capto protect the thread on the compressed air cylinder [4] from dust anddamage.XPush the safety catch in to "S".9Dry firing device is active.XClose the cocking lever.XRelease the trigger.CAuTION!Only genuine ANSCHÜTZ compressed air cylinders(max. 200 bar) may be used!NOTE!NOTE!The safety/dry firing device can only be actuatedwhen the airgun is cocked.Repairs to compressed air cylinders may only becarried out by the manufacturer using genuine replacement parts.If this is not observed, the liability and guaranteebecome void.17.1 Screwing the compressed air cylinder inXFill the compressed air cylinder before using.XScrew the compressed air cylinder slowly and carefully, hand-tight,into the thread on the sub-assembly carrier (to avoiddamage). A perceptible resistance is felt shortly before the stop, and the valve opens automatically.22

X17.3 Filling the compressed air cylinderScrew the compressed air cylinder in, hand-tight, by approx. onemore turn so that it rests tightly against the stop.WARNING!17.2 Releasing the compressed air cylinderOnly refilling bottles with a maximum pressure of200 bar may be used!NOTE!Only oil- and water-free compressed air may beused (DIN EN 12021)!ANSCHÜTZ recommends that the compressed air cylinders always be released when the compressed airrifle is not being used to protect the housing, valve,seals, springs and for safety reasons (no readinessto fire if there is no compressed air).Filling of the compressed air cylinders may only becarried out using the genuine ANSCHÜTZ refillingadapter (order No. 711.3409)!ANSCHÜTZ recommends the use of diving bottles forrefilling the compressed air cylinders.XUnscrew the compressed air cylinder by approx. just one turn. Turnonly so far that no air comes out.XCock the rifle (see Chapter 12.1) and release the trigger. Repeatthe procedure 3 times (to allow any remaining air to escape).NOTE!) The compressed air cylinder can then be unscrewed with no pressure on the O-ring.A complete fill (max. 200 bar) is adequate for approx.200 shots (resid

(order No. 711.3408) for emptying the compressed air cylinder. NOTE! The compressed air cylinder must be checked for cracks and damage before each use. Compressed air cylinders which have leaks or which are damaged must be emptied safely and must not be used or filled again. Compressed air cylinders must not be used for longer than 10 years.
