4. Setup

4.1 Initial Inspection

Before first use, carefully inspect the air gun for any signs of damage or missing parts. Ensure all screws and fittings are secure.

4.2 Filling the Air Reservoir

The P35 uses a Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) system. It requires an external air source (e.g., high-pressure hand pump, scuba tank, or compressor) to fill its 256 CC air reservoir.

1. Locate the fill port on the air gun, typically covered by a dust cap.
2. Attach the provided fill probe to your air source hose.
3. Insert the fill probe firmly into the air gun's fill port.
4. Slowly open the valve on your air source to begin filling. Monitor the pressure gauge on the air gun. Do not exceed the maximum fill pressure specified in the Specifications section.
5. Once the desired pressure is reached, close the air source valve and slowly bleed the pressure from the hose before detaching the fill probe.
6. Replace the dust cap on the fill port.

4.3 Loading the Magazine

The P35 uses a 9-round rotary magazine for 5.5mm (.22 caliber) pellets.

1. Remove the magazine from the air gun.
2. Rotate the clear cover of the magazine counter-clockwise until it stops.
3. Insert a pellet into the first chamber, ensuring it is seated correctly. This will release tension on the spring.
4. Load the remaining pellets into each chamber, rotating the clear cover as you go.
5. Once all 9 pellets are loaded, insert the magazine back into the air gun until it clicks securely into place.

4.4 Mounting Optics/Accessories

The P35 is equipped with a 21.2mm Picatinny rail for mounting scopes, red dot sights, or other compatible accessories.

• Ensure the air gun is unloaded and safe before mounting accessories.
• Align the accessory with the Picatinny rail and secure it using its mounting hardware.
• Tighten all screws firmly, but do not overtighten.
• Refer to the accessory's instruction manual for specific mounting and zeroing procedures.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Cocking the Air Gun

The P35 features a cocking lever action.

1. With the air gun pointed in a safe direction, firmly pull the cocking lever fully to the rear.
2. Push the cocking lever fully forward until it locks into place. This action indexes a pellet from the magazine into the barrel and cocks the hammer.

5.2 Safety Mechanism

The P35 is equipped with a manual safety. Always engage the safety when the air gun is loaded and not ready to fire.

• To engage the safety: Push the safety lever to the 'Safe' position (typically indicated by a red dot being covered).
• To disengage the safety: Push the safety lever to the 'Fire' position (typically indicated by a visible red dot).

5.3 Firing the Air Gun

1. Ensure the air gun is cocked and a pellet is chambered.
2. Aim at a safe and appropriate target.
3. Disengage the safety.
4. Place your finger on the trigger and slowly squeeze until the air gun fires.
5. After firing, re-engage the safety if you are not immediately taking another shot.

5.4 Adjustable Trigger

The P35 features an adjustable trigger pull from 1-6 Lbf. Refer to the tooling set and specific instructions for adjusting the trigger pull to your preference. Adjustments should only be made by a qualified individual.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your P35 air gun.

6.1 Cleaning the Barrel

The 450mm precision barrel should be cleaned periodically to maintain accuracy.

• Ensure the air gun is unloaded and degassed before cleaning.
• Use a proper cleaning rod and patches designed for .22 caliber air gun barrels.
• Apply a small amount of non-petroleum-based air gun barrel cleaning solution to a patch and push it through the barrel from the breech end to the muzzle.
• Repeat with clean, dry patches until they come out clean.
• Do not use wire brushes or harsh solvents, as they can damage the barrel.

6.2 Lubrication

Apply a thin layer of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts such as the cocking lever mechanism and O-rings as needed. Avoid petroleum-based oils, which can damage seals in PCP systems.

6.3 Storage

Store the air gun in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to store PCP air guns with some pressure in the reservoir (e.g., 1000-1500 PSI) to maintain seal integrity, but never at maximum pressure for extended periods.

7. Troubleshooting

For issues not listed here or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact customer support.
