been dropped or otherwise damaged.
• ALWAYS fill your Benjamin PCP Air Gun Charging System using compressed air ONLY.
• NEVER overfill or have your cylinder filled beyond its rated capacity. Overfilling may result in property damage, personal injury or death.
• NEVER tamper with or alter the cylinder valve, safety relief device or other cylinder attachments.
• NEVER use this cylinder for applications other than charging your Benjamin PCP airgun.
• NEVER use caustic paint strippers or corrosive cleaners, which will damage the cylinder.
• NEVER use heat-activated paint (such as baked enamel or powder coating) on your cylinders. Use only air-drying paints.
• NEVER let a person who has not completely read this manual use this product.
• NEVER ask for a cylinder to be filled beyond its rated capacity. Overfilling is DANGEROUS.
• NEVER add or introduce petroleum based products to the valve or cylinder.
• NEVER expose your cylinder to excessive heat.
NOTE: Valve must be removed for transport by air shipment! (See section 6.)
2. Learn the Parts
3. SETUP AND INSPECTION PRIOR TO USE
HIGH PRESSURE AIR IS DANGEROUS - TREAT IT WITH RESPECT! ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN WORKING WITH COM-
PRESSED GAS! VENTING GAS CAN AND DOES ACCELERATE PARTICLES OF DIRT AND DEBRIS TO HIGH VELOCITY. KEEP ALL PERSONS WITHOUT EYE PROTEC-
TION OUT OF THE IMMEDIATE AREA!
1. ALWAYS have the cylinder inspected and/or hydrostatically retested if it shows signs of corrosion, gouges, indents, bulges and/or heat damage or if it has been dropped or
otherwise damaged.
2. Make sure that the Bleed Screw (C) is closed by turning in a clockwise direction, only finger tight.
3. Check that the DIN Style Male Connector (E) is securely screwed into the main Valve Body (B) using the knurled grip around the outside of the fitting.
4. Make sure that the High Pressure Flexible Hose with Quick Disconnect Fitting (F) is securely attached to item (E), check hose for any signs of external damage.
5. Inspect Gauge (D) for damage and that the indicator is on the zero stop position.
6. Connect the High Pressure Flexible Hose (F) to your PCP Air Gun with by the Quick Disconnect Fitting on the end.
4. GUN CHARGING PROCEDURE:
1. Close Bleed Screw (C) by turning in a clockwise direction, only finger tight. Open Hand Wheel (A) slowly and with care using finger and thumb only in an anticlockwise direc-
tion. Control the filling flow with finger and thumb so that air enters the PCP Air Gun pressure chamber slowly.
2. Observe the Gauge (D) reading as it rises and stop the flow when the gauge reaches the gun manufacturer's recommended working pressure for your particular PCP Air Gun by
turning the Hand Wheel (A) in a clockwise direction. Only use finger tight to shut the valve off. Over-tightening of the valve will eventually damage its operation.
NOTE: MANY PCP AIR GUNS HAVE A BUILT IN PRESSURE GAUGE. YOU MAY USE THIS GAUGE TO CONFIRM YOUR PCP AIR GUN IS FILLED TO THE LEVEL AS RECOMMENDED BY THE GUN
MANUFACTURER.
3. NEVER disconnect the hose from you PCP air gun at this stage as the valve and hose still contains air at high pressure.
4. Prior to disconnecting the hose from the gun, open the Bleed Screw (C) by turning in a counter-clockwise direction. The design of the bleed screw is that only a small move-
ment to open is sufficient to discharge the trapped air. The gauge (D) will then indicate zero and only then is it safe to disconnect the hose from the PCP Air Gun.
5. RE-CHARGING OF THE AIR CYLINDER
1. ALWAYS fill your Benjamin PCP Air Gun Charging System using compressed air ONLY.
2. When having the air cylinder re-charged, first remove the High pressure hose assembly using the chromed part of the DIN Style Male Connector (E) from the main
Valve Body (B).
3. The fill station will then connect their charging connector directly into the valve. Alternately, your filling station may have an additional adapter, like Crosman model FAH007
that they will use to allow them to fill your system.
4. Some charging stations submerge cylinders in water as a method to keep them cool while filling. If this is the case, then warn them not to submerge the Gauge (D) as this may
cause damage to the gauge.
IMPORTANT:
• NEVER ask for a cylinder to be filled beyond its rated capacity. Overfilling is DANGEROUS.
• NEVER use or have your cylinder filled if it leaks or if you suspect that your cylinder has been damaged.
• NEVER fill a cylinder on which the safety relief device has been altered in any way.
• NEVER fill a cylinder that is outside its periodic inspection period.
• NEVER modify your cylinder in any way or add attachments that are not authorized. Unauthorized modifications are illegal and could make you cylinder DANGEROUS.
6. VALVE REMOVAL FROM THE CYLINDER
UNSCREWING THE VALVE FROM A CHARGED CYLINDER CAN CAUSE THE VALVE TO FLY OFF WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1. To transport your Benjamin PCP Air Gun Charging System by air freight or as a luggage item on an airline you will be required to prove the system is not pressurized by remov-
ing the filling valve assembly.
2. First remove the complete hose assembly using the chromed knurled part of the DIN Style Male Connector (E) from the main Valve Body (B).
3. Your Benjamin PCP Air Gun Charging System has a slow flow feature built into the valve to reduce the risk of high pressure air entering your PCP Air Gun too quickly and causing
damage to the air gun. As a result, your system may take up to 30 minutes to empty depending on how far you open the valve and the pressure level in the cylinder.
4. Place and secure your Benjamin PCP Air Charging System in a location so the valve opening is pointing in a safe direction, away from people, pets and items that could be
damaged by the flow of exiting air. Never try to restrict the flow of air from your unit by using your hand to cover a port or leak. High pressure air can cause serious physical
injury if directed against the surface of your skin.
5. Close Bleed Screw (C), open Hand Wheel (A) slowly and with care using finger and thumb only in an anticlockwise direction. Control the filling flow with finger and thumb so
that air is released from your Benjamin PCP Air Charging System.
6. You cannot use the gauge (D) to monitor the pressure during this operation as it only provides an accurate reading when attached to a PCP air gun. Listen to the flow of air and
open the valve up to the maximum level over a few minutes.
7. When the sound of air stops your Benjamin PCP Air Charging System should be empty. To ensure this is true you can attempt to fill your PCP Air Gun as instructed in the fill
section. You will notice the gauge (D) will read zero when you open the valve if the unit is empty.
8. Prior to removing the valve from your cylinder make certain you have closed the Bleed Screw (C) and opened the Hand Wheel (A).
9. The valve body (B) is only hand tightened into the cylinder (I). To remove the valve, begin by orienting the valve away from your body, other people and any objects in the area.
10. Rotate the valve slowly in a clockwise direction when the valve is oriented away from your body. YOU SHOULD NOT HEAR ANY ESCAPING AIR WHILE COMPLETING THIS ACTION.
IF YOU DO BEGIN TO HEAR THE SOUND OF ESCAPING AIR – STOP- PLACE THE UNIT IN A SAFE LOCATION UNTIL THIS SOUND STOPS! You may then repeat steps 9 through 11 until
the valve is removed.
11. The threads in the cylinder (I) and on the stem of your valve body (B) can be easily damaged and may become no longer usable if treated improperly. Accordingly, after remov-
ing the valve body it is recommended that you transport it in its own individual padded container separate from your cylinder.
7. VALVE INSTALLATION INTO THE CYLINDER
1. ALWAYS keep the threads of the valve body (B) and cylinder (I) free form oil, dirt and other contaminants. You may wipe these with a clean dry cloth if required.
2. NEVER use lubrication, Teflon tape or thread locking compound to complete this installation.
3. Ensure the valve O-ring (H) is located at the top of the threaded portion of the valve away from the end you will thread into the cylinder(I) threaded opening.
4. The valve body (B) is only hand tightened into the cylinder (I) threaded opening. Begin by slowly screwing the valve into the cylinder (I) threaded opening in a counter
clockwise direction as you hold the valve oriented away from your body.
5. Continue to rotate the valve (B) as indicated until it freely stops. At this point apply a slightly larger amount of force as you rotate the valve (B) to ensure it is tight. This force
generally allows the valve (B) to move half a turn or less, as the valve O-ring (H) is seated.

TESTING REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: ALWAYS keep the threads and inside of your cylinder dry and free from oil, dirt and other contaminants. ALWAYS make sure your cylinder is within its retest period.
Your Benjamin PCP Filling System features a lightweight carbon fiber (composite) wrapped cylinder approved by the DOT for production and sale in the United States. This cylinder uses
advanced design technology and materials to provide a very light and durable product. The DOT requires all cylinders of this type to be hydrostatically tested as follows:
A. Composite cylinders – every 5 years
NOTE: Composite cylinders have a maximum life of 15 years from their original hydrostatic test date.
The date of manufacture is listed on the label that is permanently embedded in your cylinder on the opposite side as the Benjamin logo. The date follows the text "M4625" and is listed
in a month and year format. For example if your cylinder reads "M4625 06@16" this means your cylinder was manufactured in June 2016, requiring its first retest on or before June 2021
81001A515
and again on or before June 2026. The last date your cylinder would be usable would be June 2031 which is the end of the 15th year. At this time the cylinder would have to be replaced.
The retesting required can be performed by many scuba diving shops. If you require assistance finding a service provider contact Crosman Corporation customer service. Your filling valve
does not require any retesting.
IMPORTANT:
• ALWAYS keep the outside of you cylinder clean, using mild soap or a neutral detergent cleaning solution when necessary. Thoroughly dry the cylinder after cleaning.
• ALWAYS store the cylinder in a cool, dry area with adequate ventilation.
• ALWAYS have your cylinder serviced by a trained personnel
• ALWAYS make sure that all cylinder attachments are maintained, serviced, inspected and handled in strict accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
• NEVER alter or obscure cylinder markings.
• NEVER allow your cylinder to roll around while traveling
• NEVER drop, strike or heat your cylinder.
• NEVER expose your cylinder to excessive heat (see temperature guidelines above)
• NEVER attempt to modify the threads or force a valve into your cylinder.
• NEVER modify your cylinder by adding extra openings for gauges or filling ports.
