Important information about your Benjamin™ PCP Air Gun Charging System
Improper use, filling, storage, disposal or failure to follow instructions may result in prop-
erty damage, serious injury or death. NEVER alter or modify the cylinder in any way.
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.
If you suspect that your carbon fiber (composite) cylinder has been heated to tempera-
tures of 132.8 ° F/ 56 ° C or more, it must be hydrostatically retested and fully re-qualified before further use.
Composite cylinders exposed to or with evidence of exposure to heat in excess of 161.6 ° F/ 72 ° C must be
condemned and removed from service.
Fill your Benjamin PCP Air Gun Charging System using compressed air or nitrogen gas
only. Use of other gasses, including oxygen, can cause a fire or explosion that may result in property dam-
age, serious injury or death.
Do not introduce petroleum based products to the valve or cylinder, or it may cause an
explosion. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, serious injury or death.
ALWAYS store your Benjamin PCP airgun charging system in a safe location out of the reach of children and any-
one unfamiliar with its proper use or care.
NOTE: Save the box your unit was shipped in for future storage while not in use or for later shipment of the unit.
Valve must be removed for transport by air shipment! (See instructions below)

SETUP AND INSPECTION PRIOR TO USE:
ALWAYS THINK ABOUT SAFETY FIRST – TAKE YOUR TIME – IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN HOW TO
PROCEED – STOP AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BENJAMIN DEALER OR CROSMAN CORPO-
RATION FOR ASSISTANCE! 1 (800) 7AIRGUN (724-7486). Contact Crosman Customer Service at
1 (800) 7AIRGUN (724-7486).
HIGH PRESSURE AIR IS DANGEROUS - TREAT IT WITH RESPECT!
Always wear eye protection when working with compressed gas! Venting gas can and does accelerate particles of
dirt and debris to high velocity. Keep all persons without eye protection 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.
GUN CHARGING PROCEDURE:
ALWAYS THINK ABOUT SAFETY FIRST – TAKE YOUR TIME – IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN OW TO
PROCEED – STOP AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BENJAMIN DEALER OR CROSMAN CORPO-
RATION FOR ASSISTANCE! 1 (800) 7AIRGUN (724-7486). Contact Crosman Customer Service at
1 (800) 7AIRGUN (724-7486).
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 direction. 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 opera-
tion. 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 direc-
tion. The design of the bleed screw is that only a small movement 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.
RE-CHARGING OF THE AIR CYLINDER
ALWAYS THINK ABOUT SAFETY FIRST – TAKE YOUR TIME – IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN HOW TO PRO-
CEED – STOP AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BENJAMIN DEALER OR CROSMAN CORPORATION FOR
ASSISTANCE! Contact Crosman Customer Service at 1 (800) 7AIRGUN (724-7486).
Fill your Benjamin PCP Air Gun Charging System using compressed air or nitrogen gas
only. Use of other gasses, including oxygen, can cause a fire or explosion that may result in property dam-
age, serious injury or death.
1. ALWAYS fill your Benjamin PCP Air Gun Charging System using compressed air or nitrogen gas ONLY.
2. When having the air cylinder re-charged, first remove the High pressure hose assembly using the chromed
knurled part of the DIN Style Male Connector (D) 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.
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.
VALVE REMOVAL FROM THE CYLINDER
DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND
ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW!
ALWAYS THINK ABOUT SAFETY FIRST – TAKE YOUR TIME – IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN HOW TO PRO-
CEED – STOP AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BENJAMIN DEALER OR CROSMAN CORPORATION FOR
ASSISTANCE! Contact Crosman Customer Service at 1 (800) 7AIRGUN (724-7486).
UNSCREWING THE VALVE FROM A CHARGED CYLINDER CAN CAUSE THE VALVE TO
FLY OFF WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE PROPERTY 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 removing 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 to 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 anticlock-
wise 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 read-
ing 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).
81001-515
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 slowing 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 removing the valve body it is recommended that you
transport it in its own individual padded container separate from your cylinder.
VALVE INSTALLATION INTO THE CYLINDER
ALWAYS THINK ABOUT SAFETY FIRST – TAKE YOUR TIME – IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN HOW TO
PROCEED – STOP AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BENJAMIN DEALER OR CROSMAN CORPORA-
TION FOR ASSISTANCE! 1 (800) 7AIRGUN (724-7486). Contract Crosman Customer Service at
1 (800) 7AIRGUN (724-7486).
Do not introduce petroleum based products to the valve or cylinder, or it may cause an
explosion. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, serious injury or death.
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.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR CYLINDER AND
CYLINDER TESTING REQUIREMENTS
• 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:
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@12" this means your cylinder was manufactured in June 2012, requiring its first re-
test on or before June 2017 and again on or before June 2022. The last date your cylinder would be usable would
be June 2027 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.
• 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.
• ALWAYS wear eye protection when working with compressed gas
• 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.
• ALWAYS fill your Benjamin PCP Air Gun Charging System using compressed air or nitrogen gas ONLY.
• ALWAYS store your Benjamin PCP Air Gun Charging System in a cool, dry location with adequate ventilation
and out of the reach of children and anyone unfamiliar with its proper use.
