openings in the bottom of the trigger
guard. Use a 1.5mm and 2.5mm allen hex
key to make adjustments.
SCREW#2 SCREW#3

Fig. 3
The Quattro Trigger is adjustable as seen in Fig. 3
SCREW#1 adjusts the amount of overlap or depth of engagement of the sear. For less trigger travel prior to
discharge, rotate SCREW#1 clockwise; and vice versa.
SCREW#2 adjusts the transition from 1st to 2nd stage. For a shorter 1st stage, rotate SCREW#2 clockwise;
and vice versa.
SCREW#3 adjusts the trigger pull force. When this is turned clockwise, the force increases; and vice versa.

NOTE: Make only small changes to one adjuster at a time. Over-adjusting can render the trigger inoperable and
may create a dangerous situation! Take note of the starting point of each adjuster so that you can return it to its
original position if necessary.

Section V. HAMMER PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT

Section X. OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Warning!
• Before filling the air cylinder; make sure the
safety is in the ON position, no pellets are
loaded in the air rifle and/or barrel and magazine
is not mounted in the gun. If the air bottle is
completely empty; fill in air bottle after cocking
the gun and keeping the cocking handle/bolt Fig. 10
lever open at the rear.
• Take all safety measures before filling the air bottle. It is compulsory for the user and bystanders to
wear eye & ear protection when filling the air bottle.
• While filling in the air bottle; the pressure in it must be monitored from the air gauge of the hand
pump or scuba charging kit. Do not look at the air gauge on the air rifle during filling process.
Instead, reference the gauge on your fill device.

• Pull the cocking lever

backwards until it stops
and locks at the back.
Keep the bolt lever locked
at the rear. (Fig. 11) THIS
OPERATION COCKS THE
TRIGGER MECHANISM/
HAMMER ASSEMBLY
• Fit the female quick
disconnect nozzle to the
air-line of the charging
equipment, which must
incorporate a pressure
gauge. Ensure both female Fig. 11
disconnect nozzle and rifle
male fitting are clear from
dirt and gently push the nozzle into the filler hole as
in Fig. 11 for Factor or Fig. 12 for Factor RC.
• Fill the air tube up pressure quoted previously in this
manual. (250 Bar). Do not exceed the maximum fill
pressure as this will reduce the muzzle velocity of the
pellets and may damage internal components, which
may cause danger to you and others around you.
When using a diver’s bottle, refill the rifle slowly to
prevent the heat created by the filling process from
damaging the rifle’s components. Undo the bleeder
valve on the hose before disconnecting the female
fitting from the male fitting on the rifle. Fig. 12

Section XIV. MAINTENANCE

Warning!
Never attempt to disassemble this rifle. Never fire the rifle when the air in the cylinder is removed.
Failure to obey this instruction could result in damage to your rifle.

Never lubricate inside the barrel as this will affect the accuracy & grouping of the rifle in negative manner.
Occasionally apply proper mineral based oils sparingly to the following parts:
• The trigger mechanism
• The pellet probe
• The cocking lever sliding surface
DO NOT OVER-LUBRICATE THE RIFLE!
• It is recommended to clean the barrel with a cleaning rod every 500-1000 shots. Never lubricate inside
the barrel.
• Before you begin oiling or cleaning your air gun, always check to make sure it is unloaded.
• Always be sure your gun barrel is clean and not blocked.
• After cleaning ensure that no cleaning patch or other obstruction remains in the barrel.
• Annually, take your air gun to a gunsmith even if it seems to be working well, since some issues in your
gun may not be apparent from external examination.
• Take your air gun to a gunsmith if water, sand, etc. enters the internal mechanism of the air gun, for
complete cleaning.
• Dangerous conditions may occur if you do not keep your air gun clean and working properly.

QUICK FILL NOZZLE O-RINGS REPLACEMENT

• After a period of time, the O-rings on the fill nozzle will need to be replaced. The need for the replacement
will become noticeable if air is heard leaking from the nozzle or the nozzle is ejected from the port while
charging the rifle. Always replace both O-rings.

Safety Measures & Warnings
• This air gun will fire if cocked, loaded, safety disengaged and trigger pulled.
• Air guns are not toys. Never let young children use an air gun unsupervised. Adult supervision is strictly
required during use. Misuse or careless use may cause serious injury or death.
• This is a high-powered airgun for use by those 16 years of age or older.
• Learn how your air gun operates and practice safe gun handling procedures before loading and using it.
• ALWAYS USE EYE & HEARING PROTECTION AND MAKE BYSTANDERS USE THE SAME. Failure to do so may
result in eye injuries and permanent hearing loss.
• Do not point at anything you do not intend to shoot even though the gun is unloaded. Always keep the gun
pointed in a safe direction.
• Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle.
• Always aim at a safe target, taking care that it does not conceal any other object.
• Before you fire, consider where the pellet will travel should you miss your intended target, thus ensuring no
damage or harm could result.
• Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger. Never shoot at sounds.
• When shooting, always have a safe shooting range, that is; have a safe area for shooting, a safe distance
between you and the target, and a safe backstop to trap the pellets and hold the target.
• Do not fire at a target, which allows ricochets or deflections. Do not fire into or at water.
• Do not fire at or near power lines or insulators. Be especially careful in wooded areas where power lines may not
be as visible.
• Do not load the gun until you are ready to shoot.
• Always keep your fingers away from the trigger & muzzle during cocking and handling.
• Do not walk, run or jump when carrying a loaded or cocked air gun. A loaded or a cocked gun should never be
carried inside a vehicle, house, camp or public place. Never climb a tree or fence or jump a ditch with a loaded
gun. In such a case, first unload it and hand the gun to a friend or place it on the ground on the other side of the
obstacle before crossing yourself.
• When transporting the gun, keep it unloaded and ‘on safe’.
• Always keep the gun ‘on safe’ until you are ready to shoot even if the gun is unloaded.
• Do not put the gun away loaded and unattended.
• Always check to see if the gun is ‘on safe’ and unloaded when getting it from another person or from storage.
• Always keep the air gun and/or pellets out of the reach of children. Keep the air gun and pellets in separate
places, better if under lock and key.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your gun. Use a competent gunsmith. Many air guns contain
powerful springs or high pressure air cylinders which can cause serious injury if released in an uncontrolled
manner.
• Always handle and treat your gun as though it were loaded.
• Improper use or handling of air guns is not the responsibility of the manufacturer or distributor, under any
circumstances. The user is responsible for any harm, which may be caused.
• Think first, fire second. Don’t rely on any mechanical safety. Half safe is not safe.
• Be safe not sorry. Respect other’s property.
• Air guns should never be used under the influences of alcohol or drugs.
• Do not brandish or display this product in public – it could confuse people and may be a crime.
• Do not change the coloration and markings to make it look more like a firearm.
