Maintenance
In the unlikely event your rie malfunctions or exhibits reduced performance, DO
NOT attempt to x the problem yourself. Please call Air Venturi so we can address
any issues or have you return the gun for repair.
Air Venturi service line: 216-220-1180
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 ap-
plied for smooth operation. A light application of chamber lube applied directly
to the mainspring through the slot on the underside of the cylinder will accom-
plish 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. Gas spring: No maintenance is required.
4. Barrel hinge & other bearing surfaces: The main bearing surfaces, such as the bar-
rel pivot lever and cocking arm, should be lubricated with a good lubricating gel.
Use only one drop per side, as excess may cause galling.
5. 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 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.
6. 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
after 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.
When performing maintenance, make sure your gun is unloaded. Always keep your
nger off the trigger during any maintenance routine.
