IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ
Before leaving the factory this rife was Q.A. inspected and test fred using Air Arms PELLETS to check
operation and fnal adjustment.
It was dispatched in a sealed purpose designed box with a contents label on the lid. Air Arms may not
be responsible for any damage to the contents or missing items if the box is not original, if it is damaged or the
seals are not intact.
Air Arms cannot be held responsible for damage or missing items due to transit damage, mishandling or
being tampered with after leaving the factory.
If this rife is not received in the original box with the seals intact, please examine carefully for any
damage, missing tools or documentation.
In the frst instance any problems or complaints regarding this product should be referred to the supplier.
The air cylinder is a highly pressurised unit that must not be modifed in any way. Serious personal in-
jury may result if this, and the advice below is not followed.
Do not pressurize the cylinder if there are any surface abrasions or dents. Contact Air Arms for advice.
Do not store the rife in places with, or near sources of high temperature such as fres or boilers.
Do not attempt to dismantle when pressurised.
Do not pressurize beyond the stated flling pressure (see flling instruction section). Damage caused by
such action is not covered by the manufacturers warranty.
Only use clean, fltered and dry compressed air. Never use any other gas, particularly industrial or weld-
ing gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, acetylene, hydrogen, argon, etc.
If compressed air is being used other than from a diving shop, the inside of the cylinder should be in-
spected for corrosion at least annually. If in doubt contact Air Arms for advice.
In any event the cylinder should be inspected every two to three years depending upon usage. Air Arms
can provide this service at a reasonable cost.
To maintain this rife in good working order it should be serviced annually by a competent gunsmith,
your supplier may be able to provide this service or contact air arms.
A reasonable amount of advice will be provided to enable the end user to service their own rife, how-
ever this is at the discretion of Air Arms and may not be given in all cases.
The velocity of this rife has been set using Air Arms feld pellets. If any other make or type of pellet is
to be used the rife must be re-tested with the pellet that is to be used, to ensure the muzzle energy is within the
limits determined by current legislation.
Due to the nature of hand pumps and their relative ineffciency in removing moisture from the com-
pressed air , the chances of corrosion damage to the cylinder and other internal components are increased.
Therefore the rife should be regularly serviced and/or checked for any signs of damage by a competent
gunsmith.
Air Arms recommend using a dry pack flter kit on any hand pumps used to fll our air rifes.
This model is a high power version that requires the user to hold a frearms certifcate.
If accessories not manufactured by Air Arms are used on this rife, Air Arms can not be held responsible
for any loss of performance.
Contact your supplier or Air Arms for any advice on this matter.
General Maintenance And Lubrication
Fixings
Regularly check the tightness of all fxings. However do not be tempted to over tighten as some parts are
made from aluminium and stripped threads may result. Stripped threads are not covered by the manufacturers
warranty.
Barrel
For ultimate accuracy, clean and re-lube the barrel frequently. It is diffcult to advise how often is best
for every circumstance, but every 250 shots is not too often if the desire is to keep the barrel in the best possible
condition.
The correct materials are very important. Air arms only use products made by napier. Listed below are
the napier products and a more generally available alternative. If possible use napier for the best results.
CLEANER : NAPIER GUN CLEANER, ALTERNATIVELY WHITE SPIRIT.
OIL : NAPIER GUN OIL, ALTERNATIVELY 3 IN 1 OIL.
PULL-THROUGH PAD : NAPIER RIFLE CLEAN, ALTERNATIVELY SOFT COTTON CLOTH.
PULL-THROUGH LINE : NAPIER PULL THROUGH KIT, ALTERNATIVELY 20lb FISHING LINE.
As a rule cleaners and oils intended for shotguns and small/full bore weapons are not suitable.
1. Cut a piece of line three times the length of your barrel, fold in half and tie ends together. Re-
move silencer if ftted. Open loading bolt.
2. Feed un-knotted end down barrel from the muzzle end until folded end protrudes about 50mm.
3. Cut a 100mm length of rife clean or 100 x 50mm piece of cloth and pass it between the pro-
truding loop. Spray the pad with gun cleaner or white spirit, turn the rife upside down and pull the line back
through the barrel slowly.
4. Repeat steps 2&3 until the pad is clean.
5. Repeat steps 2&3 once more without any cleaner on the pad to dry the barrel.
6. Repeat steps 2&3 once more with the pad sprayed with gun oil or 3 in 1 oil.
Important The reason for turning the rife upside down is to prevent excess cleaner/oil from passing
down the transfer port into the fring valve chamber.
Lubrication
Lubrication of the internal mechanism is not
covered in this handbook. This is best performed
by a competent gunsmith or the factory and in any
case should not be required until the annual ser-
vice. Apply a small dab of grease or oil, on the two
pivot points shown in the diagram, and work -in by
moving the bolt forwards and backwards. Wipe off
excessive grease. Preferred grease is napier g95
gun grease. On return from every shooting session,
wipe all over the exterior with an oily rag to pre-
serve the surface fnish during storage.
A small drop of oil should be applied to the
magazine O ring to keep it moist, and increase its
life span.
Mounting/Demounting the Magazine & Pellets
Demounting
Fully cock the rife, grip the magazine and slide out of the bolt housing without lifting. Do not
attempt to lift vertically as damage to the indexing spring will result.
To reft the magazine, fully cock the rife, grip the magazine and slide in the bolt housing applying
downward pressure with the fore fnger to keep the base of the magazine against the bottom of the slot in the
bolt housing. Take care not to damage the indexing spring.
Loading pellets
Hold the magazine and drop a pellet into the chamber. Manually index to the next empty chamber and repeat
until the magazine is full. Finally line up the red dot on the pellet carrier with the V notch on the clear
magazine cover.
Operating Instructions
Cocking
Hold securely in one hand and with the
other pull the cocking lever out and to the rear. At
the end of the stroke the magazine will index and
present a new chamber, also the trigger mecha-
nism will engage. This can be determined by the
trigger blade kicking forward at the end of the
cocking stroke.
The effect required to cock the gun is
quite low so minimal force should be used.
Note ! It is very important that the cocking lever
is pulled back to the correct position. In one
positive motion. The magazine indexes to the
next pellet position as the bolt is retracted and it
is possible for a partial index if the lever is not
pulled back fully.
If you fnd the mechanism has not cocked completely but the magazine has indexed, Re-cock but
before closing the bolt, remove the magazine and manually index it back to the empty chamber. Replace the
magazine and fre as normal. If this procedure is not followed it is likely that you will load a second pellet
into the barrel. Push the lever back to the forward position. The rife is now cocked and loaded, treat with
caution.
Power adjuster
There are two versions of the S510TC, one ftted with a power adjuster on the side of the rife and
one without.
The adjuster can be used to adjust the power at any time by just turning anti clockwise to increase
and clockwise to decrease the power. Adjusting the power between shots will not harm the rife.

On the left hand side of the rife is a indicator to help select your most common power settings + =
High. - = Low. The marks do not indicate a particular power as this would change depending on the pellets
used. The engraving may be marked the other way round to the image below. This is normal and for manu-
facturing purposes.
Filling Instructions
NOTE ! ONLY USE CLEAN, DRY AND FILTERED COMPRESSED AIR, PREFERABLY FROM A DIV-
ING SHOP.
OVER PRESSURIZATION MAY DAMAGE THE CYLINDER BEYOND REPAIR.
First the female part of the flling kit (this was supplied with the rife) must be ftted to your flling
equipment. The female part (S475) has a 1/8th BSP male thread that screws directly into the hose of your
pump or bottle. Next remove the dust cover from the end of your rife.
This is achieved by unscrewing the cover in an anti-clockwise
direction. There is only one flling connector on the rife and this
flls both cylinders.

Once the connector is exposed the female part of the flling kit can be place on the male and press all
the way on making sure that the O rings on the male part are covered.
It is a wise precaution to hold the female part of the connector, during the flling procedure, as shown
in the pictures below. This will ensure the female adaptor is located completely over the male part and pre-
vent any accidental dislodging of the connector before you start to refll the cylinder.
Using hand pumps
The procedure for using hand pumps is the same as for bottle. It is more important to turn the female
on the gun to lock it in place.
When using the pump it must be remembered that the frst few pump are flling the hose and NOT
the gun. When the pressure in the hose equalizes to that in the gun, the gun will start to fll.
It can take some effort to fll the gun using a pump and we recommend using the pump to top up
instead of flling from empty.
With the female in place the gun can now be flled.
If the rife is empty the mechanism will need to be cocked to allow the fring valve to close. If the ri-
fe is not cocked when the bottle is opened or the pump used, the air will past the valve and exhaust through
the barrel.
Check that the bleed valve on the flling equipment is closed (turn clockwise to close) then slowly
open the main valve on bottle or start using the pump. The pressure in the hose will equalise and then the
rife will start to fll.
If you are flling your rife from empty there may be some air exhausted through the barrel until the
air pressure is suffcient to over come the fring valve spring (S306) this will happen at approximately 50 bar
(750psi).
The flling pressure of the S510TC is 200 bar (2900psi) for .177 and .22 calibres and 170 bar
(2465psi) for .25 calibre. Filling to a higher pressures will not increase power. Number of shots may increase
but ther will be a higher spread between the lowest and highest power shot. Over flling will lower the power
and may cause irreparable damage to the cylinder.
Once the flling pressure has been reached, close the valve on the bottle or stop pumping, open the
bleed valve on the flling kit (to vent the hose, if you do not vent the hose you will not be able to remove the
female from the rife). Now the female connector can be removed from the rife and end cap (E483BK) can
be replaced over the male connector ensuring not to over-tighten.
The S510TC range of rifes are ftted with a pressure indicator mounted on the underside of the rife
just in front of the stock screw. This provides the user with a visual check on the amount of air remaining in
the cylinder this indicator should not be used during the flling process as the needle reaction speed has been
slowed to prevent damage whilst flling. After flling the needle can take several seconds to synchronize with
the air in the cylinder.
The picture below shows a guns with just over 150 bar of pressure. Although every gun is slightly
different the recommended refll pressure for the S510TC is between 100 and 110 bar.
NOTE: On the front end of the cylinder is an engraved warning
reading....

WARNING NOTE CONCERNING 300 BAR BOTTLES.
WITH THE ADVENT OF THE 300 BAR BOTTLE IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT CARE HAS TO BE
TAKEN WHEN FILLING YOUR RIFLE. THE FILLING PROCEDURE DESCRIBED IN THIS MANU-
AL MUST BE FOLLOWED TO AVOIDED DAMAGE TO THE RIFLE, PARTICULARLY THE SLOW
OPENING OF THE VALVE ON THE BOTTLE. OPENING THE VALVE QUICKLY WILL ALLOW UP
TO 300 BAR OF PRESSURE INTO THE CYLINDER AT ONCE, THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PER-
SONAL INJ URY OR IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER.
Trigger adjustments
The S510TC models all have the same trigger mechanism. It is a two stage unit with adjustment to
both stages plus a weight of pull adjustment. It is easy to upset the balance between the two stages and make
the trigger inoperable if incorrectly adjusted.
If you have no experience of adjusting two stage triggers seek guidance or leave the trigger as set by
the factory.
Note! Incorrectly adjusted trigger mechanisms are not covered by the manufacturers warranty. It is not pos-
sible to test this rife with an incorrectly adjusted trigger, therefore all triggers leave the factory with correct
adjustment.
WARNING! Please note that it is possible to stop the safety button working with incorrect trigger adjust-
ment.
AN INCORRECTLY ADJUSTED TRIGGER CAN MAKE THE RIFLE UNSAFE TO HANDLE.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The S510TC rifes have a true two stage trigger mechanism. This means that as the trigger is pulled
the bottom sear gradually disengages with the top sear until the two disengage completely and the rife goes
off. If the pressure on the trigger is released at any point before full disengagement, the bottom sear will au-
tomatically return back to full engagement. This type of trigger allows very fne but safe operation because it
is the release of the 2nd stage that actually makes the rife fre. This arrangement is vastly superior to pseudo
two stage triggers where the frst stage is just a pivoting trigger blade that does not move sears. The down
side is that they are more diffcult to adjust correctly.
Adjustment
There are three adjuster screws, A-B-C.
The weight of pull adjuster (A) is located in the front of the trigger guard. Clockwise rotation in-
creases pull weight. If adjusted too far the spring will become coil-bound and prevent trigger operation.
The second stage adjuster (B) is the rear screw located in the trigger blade. This screw determines
the exact point that the 2nd stage starts. If the 1st stage screw is incorrectly adjusted this screw may not have
any effect.
The frst stage adjuster (C) is the front screw located in the trigger blade. This screw determines the
length of travel before the 2nd stage starts. Clockwise adjustment reduces the frst stage travel.
This rife is ftted with a manual safety button located in the trigger blade.
To make the rife safe the button must be pressed until it is fush with the side of the trigger blade.
Please note that it is possible to stop the safety button working with incorrect trigger adjustment.
With the button pressed in the rife is safe.
With the button out the rife is now ready to fre.
