YOND REPAIR First the female part of the filling kit this was supplied with the rifle must be fitted to your filling equipment The female part S475 has a 1 8th BSP male thread that screws directly into the hose of your pump or bottle Next remove the dust cover from the end of your rifle This is achieved by unscrewing the cover in an anti clockwise direction Once the connector 1s exposed the female part of the filling kit can be place on the male and press all the way on making sure that the O rings on the male part are covered It is a wise precaution to hold the female part of the connector during the filling procedure as shown in the pictures below This will ensure the female adaptor is located completely over the male part and prevent any accidental dislodging of the connector before you start to refill the cylinder Using hand pumps The procedure for using hand pumps is the same as for bottle It is more important to turn the female on the gun to lock it in place When using the pump it must be remembered that the first few pump are filling the hose and NOT the gun When the pressure in the hose equalises to that in the gun the gun will start to fill It can take some effort to fill the gun using a pump and we recommend using the pump to top up instead of filling from empty 10 With the female in place the gun can now be filled If the rifle is empty the mechanism will need to be cocked to allow the fir
