Instruction Manual

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 rie. 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 rie. Do

not use common household oil – use oil made specically 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 riing 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.

R7: The cocking lever may ride on the mainspring, producing a clicking noise.

In the unlikely event your rie 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.
