SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Airguns can cause serious harm, injury, and in some instances, even death and must therefore be handled with great care!

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE OPERATOR'S/OWNER'S MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE YOUR AIR RIFLE.

Always keep in mind that previous careless handling might cause a pellet to remain in the barrel.
Always treat the gun as if it is loaded.
Always check to see if gun is loaded when removed from storage or received from another person.
Always check any gun that has been dropped to ensure that its function has not been affected.
Always wear shooting glasses when operating any gun, both shooters and spectators.
Always keep safety engaged until you are ready to shoot and are pointing the rifle in a safe direction (down range).
Always keep away from the trigger area until it is safe to shoot.

Never store a gun with projectiles in gun or near gun

Never fire at hard objects close as ricochets can occur.

Never point your gun, charged or uncharged, loaded or unloaded, with safety on or off, at or near anything you do not intend to shoot. Too many accidents have occurred with guns that were supposed to be empty or on safe. Never lean your rifle against a car, fence or any other movable object that could cause the rifle to fall.

Never allow others to use or inspect your gun without first instructing them in the fundamentals of safe use. For everyone's protection, stress keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all time. Inform them of any other common sense rules of safety which the situation may require.
Never shoot at anything without a safe background; a miss could let your pellet carry past the intended target and hurt someone or damage something far beyond it.
Never make any trigger adjustments with the gun cocked or loaded

CAUTION: YOUR BACKSTOP SHOULD BE INSPECTED FOR WEAR BEFORE AND AFTER EACH USE. DISCONTINUE USE IF THE BACKSTOP SURFACE SHOWS SIGNS OF FAILURE. SINCE BACKSTOP SURFACES EVENTUALLY FAIL, ALWAYS PLACE THE BACKSTOP IN A LOCATION THAT WILL BE SAFE SHOULD THE BACKSTOP FAIL. DISCONTINUE THE USE OF A BACKSTOP IF THE PROJECTILE REBOUNDS OR RICOCHETS.

UNDERSTANDING C02 AIRGUNS

This airgun is designed for use in temperatures between 40°F and 100°F (5°C-38°C). Below 40°F (5°C), the projectiles will travel much slower than normal. Basically the velocity will increase as temperature increases. If excessive temperatures (100°F+or 38°C+) are reached, the pressure in the system becomes so high that the hammer does not have enough energy to push the valve open. As a result, the valve is unable to release as much C02 for each shot and the performance goes down.

At room temperature (68°F or 20°C), the system is under about 900 pounds per square inch (PSI).

Never leave gun charged when it will be near a heat source or direct sunlight. Damage to the seals may result if gun is overheated. Never allow C02 cartridges to come in direct contact with heat source WARNING: C02 CARTRIDGES MAY EXPLODE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 160°F (71'C).

To remove partially filled C02 cartridges from this gun, put safety (p/n'3300) in the fire (F) position, point the gun in a safe direction, cock and fire until all of the CO2 has been discharged. The best way to judge if the system is completely discharged is to see if you are able to remove the cap easily by hand.

If you can not turn the tube cap (p/n#3400, also known as piercing cap) BY HAND, the system is still under very high pressure. You should keep discharging the system by firing in a safe direction WARNING: NEVER USE TOOLS ON THE TUBE CAP. If the tube cap is too difficult to remove by hand, do not attempt to remove by force. Return the gun with note, freight prepaid, for service stating the tube cap is difficult to remove by hand. WARNING: ALWAYS REMOVE THE TUBE CAP BEFORE SERVICING CO2 AIRGUNS.

The little vent nose located between the fourth and the fifth thread at the end of the tube releases any remaining pressure in the system. You should stop turning the tube cap once you hear the gas escaping.
WARNING: DON'T PUT YOUR HEAD CLOSE TO THE TUBE CAP. You must wait for the system to become completely discharged. You may then turn the tube cap completely off very slowly by hand.
CAUTION: ALWAYS POINT THE GUN IN A SAFE DIRECTION EVEN WHILE TURNING THE TUBE CAP BY HAND.

CHARGING THE RIFLE: This CO2 air rifle operates with two C02 cartridges simultaneously. To charge, first remove the tube cap. If tube cap is difficult to turn off, check to make sure that the gun is not already charged with gas by disengaging the safety (p/n #3300) and firing the gun in a safe direction. When you are sure that the gun is completely discharged of gas (C02), you can remove the tube cap by hand.

After removing the tube cap, then cock gun by pulling up and back on the bolt knob (p/n'1300), engage safety (p/n#3300) so that the arrow points to the "S" indicating it is on safe, insert two (2) 12 gram CO2 cartridges BACK TO BACK and tighten the tube cap completely. Then back the tube cap off 1/4 turn. This will release the C02 from the cartridge adjacent to the tube cap. The other cartridge will be pierced when the rifle is fired.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

To fire this air rifle with pellets,  pull bolt knob (p/n #1300) up and back all the way until you hear the click of the trigger engaging. Insert a 0.177 cal (4.5 mm) pellet nose first in breech (p/n'1200). Chamber pellet by pushing the bolt knob (p/n#1300) forward and down to lock breech, disengage safety (p/n #3300) and fire safely.

Avoid getting pinched in breech (p/n'1200) when closing bolt (p/n#1100). It is recommended to load projectiles with your trigger finger, as well as, closing the breech (p/n'1200) with same hand. This will assure that the gun won't be triggered off prematurely.

Installing scope to the receiver grooves is recommended for shooters preferring a higher quality sighting system. In most cases, removal of sights (front and rear) is recommended for unobstructed mounting and view through optics.

TRIGGER ADJUSTMENTS: All adjustments (p/n#1807,p/n#1808 and p/n#1810) are made with safety (p/n'3300) and stock (p/n#2900 or p/n #3000) removed. To remove safety (p/n#3300), put gun on safe and push out toward right hand (RH) side. WARNING: CHANGING FROM THE ORIGINAL SETTINGS OR MODIFYING THE LENGTH OF THE ORIGINAL SCREWS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND THE PRODUCT LIABILITY ON THIS GUN.

•   Top Screw (p/n#1807): Take-up or sear (p/n#1805) engagement. Turning the top screw clockwise to reduce or counter-clockwise to increase engagement. The factory presets the sear engagement for about 0.125'".

Middle Screw (p/n'1808): Over travel adjustment. Turn the middle screw clockwise to reduce or counter-clockwise to increase over travel of the trigger (p/n#1804) beyond the point where there trigger releases sear (p/n'1805). The middle screw can be turned clockwise too far which will prevent gun from firing. It is recommended that over travel be minimal for best trigger feel. The factory presets the over travel for about 0.25"

•   Bottom Screw (p/n#1810): Tension adjustment. Turn the bottom screw clockwise to increase or counter-clockwise to decrease trigger pull weight. The factory presets the trigger pull weight for about 4 lb. (17.8N). WARNING: THE TRIGGER ON THIS GUN IS CAPABLE OF BEING SET BELOW TWO (2) lb. (8.9N). ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE CAN OCCUR IF THE RIFLE IS DROPPED.

Modification of the gun's mechanism may cause a gun to malfunction. Tampering with a gun may make it unsafe to use. Any change in the performance such as lowered trigger force and shorter trigger travel indicates possible wear and such guns should be inspected, replaced, or properly repaired. SERVICE SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

Always wipe down gun with a proper gun cloth before storing. Damage to metal finish will occur if you forget even once.

Use gun often. Seals remain more flexible when used often. DO NOT oil valves excessively. A few drops of airgun lubricant will go a long way in a CO2 rifle. Three (3) drops of oil every 500 shots should be adequate. When in doubt, under lube the gun (less is better)
