LIFETIME REPAIR POLICY
Air Venturi offers a FREE lifetime repair policy on many Beeman
®
airguns. Dur-
ing the lifetime of the original retail purchaser, Air Venturi will provide without cost all
genuine factory parts and factory-authorized labor necessary to repair any factory defect
of material or workmanship of the covered airgun. Parts and labor necessary to repair
any defect of material or workmanship of the seals and mainspring(s) will similarly be
provided for one year from the veried date of purchase.
Some items are not covered by this free lifetime repair policy, including: normal
wear and tear; customer abuse; unauthorized repairs, parts or modications; stocks/
wood (including the nish); damage resulting from over-pressurization of gas springs;
damage as a result of incorrect lubrication, over-lubrication or improper lubricants;
breech, piston and other seals; mainsprings; and loss or theft. This lifetime repair policy
is valid only as long as parts are readily available for the airguns.
This policy supersedes all other repair policies. For repairs on any airgun, send the
airgun prepaid and insured to: Air Venturi, 18370 S. Miles Rd., Warrensville Heights,
OH 44128. Include a note describing the problem, your name, address, telephone
number and a copy of your dated sales receipt.
We strongly advise against disassembly or modifying your air piston. Doing so
could be dangerous. The powerful mainsprings are kept under considerable tension
even when the air pistol is not cocked. Improper disassembly may lead to serious
injuries or even death if the mainspring is suddenly ejected from the compression tube.
Specialized training, as well as proper tools, are required to safely disassemble and
reassemble the air rie.
AIR RIFLE MAINTENANCE
1. Air compression chamber. The air compression chamber and piston seal require no
lubrication. They should be lubricated during factory service only.
2. The mainspring. The mainspring is the power source for the air pistol. 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 is necessary
for smooth operation. A light application of the lube applied directly to the main-
spring through the slot on the underside of the cylinder will accomplish this. Use
only a small amount, as excess will damage the air pistol.
3. Barrel hinge and 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 or felt cleaning pellets. Do not use
regular rearm bore cleaners as they may injure the seals and cause dieseling!
Always clean from the breech end and use a cleaning rod designed for airguns so to
protect the riing and crown.
5. Exterior Surfaces. To prevent rust from forming from the oils on your hands, exteri-
or surfaces should be wiped down thoroughly with a silicone cloth. Before airguns
are stored, they should be given a good wiping with a very high grade polarizing
oil.
