Operators Safety & Instruction Manual

REMOVE WATER FROM THE BARREL AS FOLLOWS:
• Remove the muzzle cap (if applicable).
• Pull the charging handle rearward 5 to 8 cm and allow the water to drain.
• Point the muzzle down and shake firearm vigorously.
• If necessary, use thumb pressure on the forward assist to seat the round in the chamber.
If the cartridge still will not chamber, thoroughly the check bore, chamber and
cartridge.
• Ensure that the drain hole in the receiver extension is clear and drain. Clean with a
pipe cleaner if necessary.
• If the firearm fails to fire with a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel there is a risk
that the round may achieve auto-ignition from exposure to the heat of the barrel
(Cook Off). This is a rare occurrence in a semi-automatic firearm and requires a very
significant amount of rapid-fire shooting to occur. If this scenario occurs, maintain
muzzle control in a safe direction and wait for 15 minutes before ejecting the round.
• If you notice a difference in sound or recoil, STOP FIRING. Check for a bullet in
the bore. Firing the firearm with a bullet lodged in the bore could cause a breech
explosion.
