CS4 arrived, my first pcp compressor.

Quite a bit of water was in the packaging, and on the unit, and the authenticity tag was very wet.
I want to move into pcp air rifles. The farmer above sold his land, and a 512-home subdivision is being built above our farm. Our farmland moves opposite the subdivision into the woods/river. But that has not stopped them from complaining about chainsaws, tractors, and our fences.

Let it dry out, it's not a huge ordeal. When you use that pump don't run it for super extended periods of time if you can avoid it, don't fill huge bottles in single sittings and you'll really enjoy it. It was my 2nd favorite pump of the 5 I've owned. Have fun!

Thought owner filled coolant, guess not. First I'd heard of soaked GX-CS4s at unboxing, at least power pack appears dry. WM

This came straight from GX. I will take the cover off shortly to look it over. Everything else was dry since the packing separated it.

My CS4-i arrived wet and also from the seller. A friend of mine who since has moved had a similar situation with his small farm. He had been there for over fifty years when a large condo project was built across the road. They literally sued his animals away from him. Even had to get rid of his last couple chickens.

California has its problems but, here in Stanislaus County we have a "right to farm". Unfortunately, over the years a lot of farmland has been sold for housing development.

That is a sad situation, even to give up his chickens. Hoping that we do not have any further issues. But we plan to redo the back fencing and increase its height.

Very odd. Hopefully it just got wet at the time of packaging and shipping and wasn't sitting around with that moisture in some warehouse for a long period of time.

Do yourself a big favor and search this forum for all the start up tips you should do before using your compressor for the first time. There are tons of them, from how to fill the water tank and radiator, adding led lights, hour meters, etc.....
I've had mine almost 2 years and it's been working great the whole time.
Thx

Thanks for the information. I have a steep learning curve as I'm still trying to decide on the first pcp. First purchase will be a smaller semi-auto rifle, .25/.30, that I can fit behind the tractor seat, which fits in a backpack to keep it from getting jarred around.

Here's my second compressor; they would come together, but got delayed. When we moved to our new location, there were no PB fields near us, and we have not played in several years. So it will get double duty for pcp / PB. Going to get on Facebook and see if I can find free pallets, somewhat close, and make a fun but small area on the backside of the property near the woods. I stopped by and picked up distilled water and low pH pre-mix, as they freeze here. I have to read up on both of these, as I have always relied on the fields to fill up.
