6. CLEANING AND LUBRICATION

The frequency at which the pistol should be cleaned and lubricated

depends on the ammunition used, the weather, shooting conditions

and other external factors.

A good rule is to clean and lubricate the pistol after every use

or, in case of intensive shooting, after every 300 rounds. Correct

maintenance will enhance the longevity of your pistol.

Excessively dirty ammunition may require more frequent cleaning, as dirt

can affect the functioning of even the ﬁnest ﬁrearm.

It is important to keep your pistol clean and correctly lubricated!

Do not use too much lubricant as this could cause the build-up of dirt, grit

or powder residue which could affect the functioning of the pistol.

The polymer frame of your FNP-9 pistol does not require lubrication.

KEEP AMMUNITION AWAY FROM THE CLEANING SITE AND

NEVER TEST THE MECHANICAL FUNCTION OF YOUR PISTOL

WITH LIVE AMMUNITION.

NEVER USE HYDROCARBONS, TRICHLOROETHYLENE, AMMONIA

NOR TEFLON-BASED LUBRICANTS AS THEY CAN CAUSE DAMAGE

TO YOUR PISTOL.

BEFORE CLEANING THE PISTOL, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT IT IS

UNLOADED (ALSO REFER TO SECTION 4.8.).
