I just did the same, there is a $35 off coupon.

So, if you're not supposed to go above 4500 psi, why is it advertised as a 400 BAR Compressor? I'm thinking they have the loose screw! I'd just run the crap out of it, you have a 1 year warranty, if it fails, they can send you another one!

I sent an email to him asking about the higher pressure advertised vs what was said other places and he told me they were updating the others to reflect the higher pressure. This was prior to purchasing a few months ago. So far I've filled the Huben several times to max. Now I'm wondering which wording or emails to believe.

I've filled my Huben several times to 350 BAR also and have had no issues at all! I would think if it was just a 4500 psi compressive, we would have had some issueses by now and I haven't had any...

I just received a Hatsan Factor RC yesterday and it arrived with an empty tank, so the CS4 filled it's 580cc tank from 0 to 250 BAR and never stumbled once, and it took about 8 minutes to top that one off!

Very nice! I’m getting one soon. Can you lay it down flat like the Omega Trail Charger? Congrats on the purchase.

I sure wouldn't suggest that since it's water cooled. It may leak out, probably wouldn't pick up the water to circulate through the system, if it leaks it probably destroy the electronics. If you decide to lay it down on the side and run it let me know the outcome

The cooling system is sealed pretty tight, and the compressor case has rubber feet on one side just for that purpose.

FYI YH burst disk do not fit the CS4

 

[FLgunner]

Good to know! Have you found a source for the size the CS4 takes? It doesn't look like GX offers them on their website.

 

[Boogie]

Nope I have not and my pump is still pooping them. Im down to 2 left I told them I wanted a new one but have not herd back yet.

 

[orangeokie]

Yep that’s what they told me. They also told me that noise was normal lol I’m going to just run it View attachment 349727

Where is the explosion-proof valve?

 

[FLgunner]

It's a burst disk and is right on top of the compressor next to the Grease Pot. It should be labeled.

Are there any significant differences between the GX4 and the Omega Trail Charger? Seems like a budget Trail Charger based on specs and appearance.

Like others told me I think Trailer charger can only run for 30 minutes at a time and GX4 can run for 5 hours and can also fill a 6.8L tank someoen correct me if I am wrong. I want to buy one but I am concerned about bad customer support

 

[Grassguy12200]

FYI The GX web site has some in stock today. Amazon has some left too. I bought one from the GX site. I hope it works as good as everybody says. It’s 699.00 free shipping. Will update its use when I get it set up..Fingers crossed. Stickman

 

[Boogie]

I would buy threw Amazon because customer support is not good lol

If you want a warranty that really works, you have to pay extra for it by not buying it from the lowest cost vendor. You decide, pay your money and take your chances.

Just received a CS4 to be used as a backup to my Omega TurboCharger.
The CS4 is incredibly similar to an Omega compressor, so much that I’d say they are made by the same factory. And that’s not meant as anything bad.

After flushing out the coolant jacket as a precautionary measure and filling with distilled water and antifreeze, I first topped off my .177 Red Wolf. Then onto several other PCP’s. Next I topped off both my Omega tank and a smaller Crosman tank. Other than longer fill times compared to the SuperCompressor, which I expected, the CS4 ran great. Quiet and smooth. After all this I cleaned out the check valve assembly, which I noted earlier in this thread to be a problem, and sure enough it was already starting to carbon up. 3 minutes later the compressor was up and running. I’ll clean the check valve frequently for the first few hours of use, then much less after that.

So far, this compressor looks to be a real winner!

Any input on where the check valve is located on the CS4 and how exactly to clean it?

The check valve assembly is beneath the large brass nut on top of the compressor, beside the grease knob. Just unscrew the large nut and there will be a small conical spring and odd shaped check valve. Lift both out with small needle nose pliers or tweezers, clean up everything with WD40, then reassemble. Very easy once you see it.
I recommend not spraying WD40 down into the check valve hole. Use a paper towel or such, with WD40 on it, to clean out that area.

Uh No No No. No wd40. Just wipe it clean with paper towels. Any wd40 residue can detonate. It doesn't need lube the grase will get to it.

You will need a 19MM socket for the large nut. Inside you will find a spring, valve and small ball bearing. Don't lose the ball bearing.

Thanks..Does the burst disc come into play??
