WARNING
!

Preparing to Load
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of accidental discharge, perform the following
checks:
1� Confirm that all safeties are functioning properly and are in the safe position�
2� Check that there is no primer, either live or spent, installed
3� Place the rifle butt on the ground, remove the ramrod, and place it in the bore� If the
ramrod tip is near flush with the muzzle, the rifle is unloaded and the bore free from
obstruction� Remove the ramrod from the barrel�
After your rifle has been cleaned and oiled, you must clear the breech plug firing hole of
any oil and debris prior to useThis is done as follows:
1� Install a primer Point the muzzle at the ground and hold 4 to 6 inches from dirt or
grass� Place safeties in the fire position and fire a primer� Observe the dirt or grass
move when the primer is fired� This will indicate that the breech plug flash channel
is clear If the flash channel is not clear, clear it of debris before proceeding� Repeat
this step one more time� Always remove the spent primer after each ignition
2� Return safeties to the safe position�
3� Leave the action open during swabbing and loading (except the Knight Vision, which
is a break open action)�
4� Place the butt of the rifle on the ground� Screw the cleaning jag into the end of the
ramrod� Moisten a cleaning patch with Knight Easy Clean and wring any excess
liquid out with your fingersUsing short, quick strokes of your ramrod and cleaning
jag, swab the entire bore several passes with the wet patch until it contacts the breech
plug� Place a dry patch on the jag and swab the entire barrel again, making sure to
contact the breech plug�
This process will help prevent misfires and hangfires. It will also improve First Shot
Accuracy by removing grease and oils left in the bore during cleaning.

ed to the open position
2� Place the butt of the rifle on the ground so that the muzzle is facing up and away
from the body
3� If using loose propellant, set your powder measurer to the desired amount and fill the
powder measure� Pour powder into the muzzle�
