MAINTENANCE
1. Air compression chamber: The air compression chamber and piston seal require no
lubrication. They should be lubricated during factory service only.
2. Steel mainspring: The mainspring is the power source for the air rie. A break-in period of
1,000 rounds is usually necessary before maximum velocities are reached. Once the airgun is
properly broken in, periodic lubrication may be applied for smooth operation. A light application
of chamber lube applied directly to the mainspring through the slot on the underside of the
cylinder will accomplish this. Use only a small amount, as excess will damage the air rie. Do
not use common household oil – use oil made specically for spring guns.
3. Barrel hinge & other bearing surfaces: The main bearing surfaces, such as the barrel pivot
lever and cocking arm, should be lubricated with a good lubricating gel. Use only one drop per
side, as excess may cause galling.
4. Barrel: The barrel normally requires minimal care. For best accuracy, the bore should be
cleaned with a lightly oiled patch. Do not use regular rearm bore cleaners as they may
damage the seals and cause dieseling. Always clean from the breech end and use a cleaning
rod designed for airguns to protect the riing and crown.
5. Exterior: To prevent rust from forming from the acid on your hands, wipe down the exterior
wood and metal with a silicone cloth after every shooting session or handling.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Breech seal is missing: You will experience a sudden loss of power if your breech seal is missing.
Also, the gun cannot be decocked. It must be red to release the piston.
In the unlikely event your rie malfunctions or exhibits reduced performance, DO NOT
attempt to x the problem yourself. Please all Air Venturi so we can address any issues
or have you return the gun for repair.
