How do i use the hand pump
I cant seem to fiqure this out when i pump it dosnt go into the gun and when i try to unscrew the the tank the adapter comes to. I have the bleed falve closed it seems like its staying in the adapter. Is the valve on the tank not opening do i have to get to a certain bar before the tank opens? And why dosnt the adapter stay on?

Or are you asking about the hand pump penis enlarger? 😆
Layman’s guide to hand pumps:
Up-down-up-down-up-down…… etc.
After reading about a lot of pumps failing and trying to use mine for the first time I decided to send it back, get $180 refund, and purchase a SCUBA tank.
I was recommended to get a 3500psi 100cu/ft steel tank. This gives me 15 refills at 3000psi if I refill when my gun tank reaches 2200psi. You can plug your own numbers here: http://www.airhog.com/tank.htm
Here’s my rational. The dive shop charges $7 to fill one of my Airforce tanks but charges $5 to fill a 100cu/ft 3500psi tank!!! The whole setup pays for itself very quickly.
Plus I like the idea of turning on a tap to fill my tanks 🙂
The o-rings can go bad and I had the check valve spring broke on me. The check valve spring got moisture on it and rusted causing it to break and screw up some of the o-rings. I sent 4 pumps back to Airforce and after the fifth one broke I fixed it myself and it has worked ever since.
If you pump to fast you will bugger it.
I bought it used so there are no instructions. But it seems to work just fine. Are the seals the only thing that go bad?
Or, huge triceps and a stronger heart! 😆
Make sure you do not pump to fast and follow instructions.
If you pump to fast you will bugger it.
You’ll still buy an SCBA tank sooner or later. I’m 15 and while I could easily work the handpump, I burned the darn thing out. You have to pump in bursts in order to keep it cool or it will damage the seals.
how many fills do you get from a scuba tank and what does it cost usd for a fill. I think i will hold onto my pump as long as possible its not to bad im 16 so its no biggie.
Give it 6 months and you’ll have a scba tank… 😉 😆
yeah i have never used i pcp before so this is all new I think i need to lube my pump shaft because it seems dry and i feel the seals but it works fine. but me being a light weight its hard as hell to get from empty to full pressure. but it should be ok for topping of. I can wait to sight her in tommarow.
So you were just being impatient? The pump was working?
i pumped her up to 175 bar and it worked awsome shot through some particle board lik butter. it was to dark to sight her i today so i will fill her up to 200 bar and sight her in tommarow.
If you are filling from empty, just keep pumping, it will take a while to register on the needle. As long as the pump is working, and you can’t hear the air coming out anywhere else, its gotta be going in the bottle….
