The Ninja Air Systems Series 3000 PCP Fill Station is a device designed for safely filling PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) airguns with high-pressure compressed air. It is proudly made in the USA and is rated for a maximum service pressure of 3000 PSI.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Ninja PCP Fill Adapter is to transfer high-pressure air from a compressed air bottle (equipped with a Ninja high-pressure regulator) to a PCP airgun. It acts as an intermediary, allowing users to safely and efficiently fill their airguns. The system includes a Universal Fill Adapter (UFA) for connecting to the air bottle, a hose to transfer the air, and a quick disconnect fitting for attaching to the airgun's fill nipple. A key safety feature is the vent station, which allows for controlled depressurization of the hose after filling, preventing dangerous disconnections under pressure.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Maximum Service Pressure: 3000 PSI. All components, including hoses, fittings, and mufflers, must have a minimum working pressure of 3000 PSI.
- Input Connection: Standard "UFA" fitting, designed to connect to any Ninja high-pressure regulator.
- Output Connection: Female quick disconnect socket designed to connect to a 1/8 male Industrial Interchange quick disconnect on the PCP airgun.
- Vent Port: Equipped with 1/8 NPT threads, allowing for the attachment of a vent hose or muffler if desired.
- Hose: Designed for high-pressure service.
- Vent Knob: Used to control the release of gas from the vent port.
- UFA Knob: Used to control the flow of air from the high-pressure air bottle to the airgun.
Usage Features:
- Safety First: Emphasizes the importance of safety throughout its operation. Users are warned to direct the vent port away from themselves and bystanders, wear gloves and safety glasses, and never disconnect the hose under pressure.
- Connection Process:
- Ensure the valve vent knob (part #5) is fully closed (clockwise) before connecting to a high-pressure compressed air bottle.
- Turn the UFA knob (part #2) counter-clockwise until it stops.
- Screw the UFA onto the High Pressure Air bottle regulator, ensuring all components are clean and dry. Tighten securely by hand ONLY; do not use tools.
- Ensure the air rifle has a 1/8 male Industrial Interchange quick disconnect.
- Pull back the sleeve/collar on the quick disconnect (part #6) and connect the fill station female quick disconnect socket to the fill nipple on the PCP airgun. The sleeve/collar MUST snap forward and be secure. Do not force it.
- Make sure the connection is secure.
- Filling Process:
- Once attached, do not let the fill station, air system, or rifle hang by any component; support them.
- Open the UFA knob (part #2) slowly in a clockwise direction. Air should be heard filling the airgun. A complete fill should take no more than approximately 10 seconds.
- Fill the airgun to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, typically 3000 psi, checking the airgun's pressure gauge. Do not over-pressurize the rifle.
- Depressurization and Disconnection:
- Upon completion of filling, turn the UFA knob (part #2) in a counter-clockwise direction until it stops.
- Bleed the pressure from the fill hose by turning the vent station knob (part #5) slowly in a counter-clockwise direction. Be cautious of rushing compressed air from the vent port.
- Disconnect the quick disconnect from the gun. If it doesn't open easily, ensure the fill station is fully vented.
- Disconnect the UFA from the High Pressure Air bottle regulator.
- Warnings:
- Petroleum Lubricants: Keep all petroleum lubricants away from parts of the PCP fill adapter, as they may cause fire or explosion if introduced into the high-pressure tube of your PCP airgun.
- Vent Port Direction: The vent port #7 MUST be directed away from the operator and bystanders.
- Vent Knob Overtightening: Do not over-tighten the vent knob, as this may damage the seal. Turn only enough to stop the release of gas.
- Hose/Fittings Pressure Rating: All hose, fittings, and mufflers must have a minimum working pressure of 3000 PSI. Do not use a bronze sintered muffler.
- Operating Without Air Rifle: Never operate the PCP Fill Adapter unless a PCP AIR RIFLE is attached to the fill adapter on the end of the fill hose, as operating it without an attached rifle will cause the fill hose to "whip," potentially causing injury.
- Disconnecting Under Pressure: Do NOT disconnect the hose under pressure, as this could cause damage to the hose fitting and personal injury.
- Secure Connection: The sleeve/collar of the quick disconnect MUST snap forward and be secure. If it does not fit properly, do not fill.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleanliness: Keep the Fill Adapter clean and dry.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the fill adapter and fill hose for thread integrity, cracks, or other wear.
- Part Replacement: Replace any suspect part immediately.
- Assistance: For assistance, users can call 877-646-5287 or visit www.ninjapaintball.com.
