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