jamesS410 106 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Whatever you do when filling open the valve on the bottle GRADUALLY and keep an eye on the pressure using the dive bottle gauge and shut it off again when it reaches 160. For the love of god don't just crack it wide open, if you do the best case scenario is you'll likely knacker the cylinder, worst case is there is a very small chance of violently blowing the end out of the cylinder. If you're unsure take it to a gunshop and get someone to show you how to do it. I'm not meaning to sound pedantic or preach but with compressed air it is absolutely vital to take precautions for safety's sake. Shoot safe and enjoy your new rifle, the S200 is a cracking little rifle. Again I apologise if this comes across as a lecture but safety is paramount. :) Edited due to being a cretin that can't spell Edited August 26, 2014 by jamesS410 Quote Link to post
