Operation Manual

15
Your DIANA Air Rifle is designed to fire caliber .177 or
.22 pellets only.
We recommend the use of DIANA Pellets because of
their superb accuracy and dimensional uniformity. The
correct caliber is clearly indicated on the rie.
CAUTION
NEVER DRY FIRE YOUR AIR RIFLE. IF THE AIR RIFLE IS
FIRED WITHOUT A LEAD PELLET IT WILL CAUSE THE
PISTON TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE CYLINDER WHICH
CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE AIR RIFLE.
CAUTION
CHECK THE TIGHTNESS OF THE STOCK SCREWS BE-
TWEEN, DURING, AND AFTER SHOOTING ACTIVITY.
LOOSE SCREWS MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION
OILS THAT CONTAIN ACID OR RESIN CAN DAMAGE
SEALS AND POSSIBLY THE FINISH OF THE AIRGUN.
WARNING
AN AIRGUN THAT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY
BE DANGEROUS. IT SHOULD BE KEPT SAFELY FROM
USE BY ANYONE UNTIL REPAIRED OR DESTROYED. DO
NOT TRY TO TAKE THE AIRGUN APART. IT IS DIFFICULT
TO REASSEMBLE AND IMPROPER DISASSEMBLY OR
REASSEMBLY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
