Just taken delivery of Seac Hunter 135 and what a beast it is! Initial problem, even at 6ft3 is loading. After a little research I've learned the trick of using a loop of cord attached to the handle - though I'm a little worried as to whether the small plastic loop on the handle would be man enough for the job.
I saw in some of Gaz's posts talk of adapting the loader with cord I wonder if anyone could help me with a description of this or some other techniques?

Thanks Guys.

Orlando.
 
Thanks Diving Gecko - Top Man! Managed to load on full power after extending loader with cord.
I did try searching but given the number of results returned I'd have been reading till next year.
Thanks for all the help hope I can get some fish to do it justice.
 
Sorry i didnt reply sooner.

I should do a youtube video showing the different methods.
Yes you want a loop through the holes on your existing loader,obviously make the loop long enough so you can grab it, then pull down to your chin and reach up with your other hand, grab the loader itself and finish the load.

Please note these guns often come over-charged, i strongly recommend letting some air out so you can get use to the technique without exhausting or hurting yourself. Note these guns still have exceptional performance with lower pressure ie 15atm.
