Rules of safe shooting • Never point a gun at anyone or anything, even if you think the gun is unloaded. • Wear safety glasses where appropriate and ensure those around you do, too. • Always use a safe backstop in a safe location in case the backstop should fail or any pellets pass through it. • Never load your gun until you are ready to shoot and it is safe to do so. • Never shoot at hard surfaces, water or anything else that may cause a ricochet.
Cocking & loading Point the air rifle in a safe direction. Grasp the stock behind the triggerguard (fingers OFF the trigger!). Position your other hand on the barrel just behind the front sight. Break the barrel by smoothly rotating it downward until the cocking action is completed. Do not use excessive force or speed. (Fig. 1) Insert a single pellet (nose/head first) into the breech (Fig. 2) until the skirt is flush with the breech.
Safety & trigger The automatic safety is now engaged. (Some models have a manual safety.) The safety is located in front of the triggerguard (Fig. 3) or on the receiver (Fig. 4). To prepare to fire, move the safety toward the FIRE position. Keep the air rifle on SAFE until you're ready to shoot, then push the safety OFF. 3 Be sure of your target and know what's behind or near your target. If a projectile rebounds or ricochets, stop shooting immediately and change your backstop.
Beeman® lifetime repair policy* During 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 verified date of purchase.
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 rifle. A breakin 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.
