Kral Arms Hi, I want to empty my air tank

[ostie01]

Hi, first post here and pretty new to PCP.

I bought a Kral Shadow F and would like to do some cleaning on the gun and replace both manometers for the digital display.
Want to verify pressure of the regulator because the gun is very loud, almost as loud as a .22LR
First, I would like to empty the air tank just to be safe, what is the best way to do this.

Can't find any info about this model, only some reviews. It is regulated

Thanks for any info

P.S. I have the manual, but they don't even talk about this particular model

Loosen the fill pressure gage until it leaks. When it gets to a point where it is barely leaking, loosen it a bit more. When the gage is at zero, finish taking it out. Dry fire until plenum is empty. When you're ready to refill you may need to cock it for it to pressurize. Bill and Addi.

The easiest way is to slightly loosen one of the gauges or your foster fitting. 1/2 to 1 turn should start letting air out. It will be slow but no need to hurry.

Beat me to it while I was typing! You win.

Very loud could mean a few things. What is your reg pressure? What pellets are you using. Could they be going supersonic?
Why do you think the gague you have is wrong?

Thanks everybody for your help, it was fast

Thanks, the reg manometer indicates 110 bars, right now, I'm testing the HADES .22 Diablo.
I've contacted Kral, and they don't want to help, they said that the regulator was factory set for best performance. I have a cheap chronograph, (forgot I have it)
I should test the speed of the pellet.
