11.3 Cleaning the slide
Proper functioning of SAUER 303 is only
guarenteed when the slide and its rail are always
maintained absolutely clean and lightly lubricated.
– Open slide (see section 5.7.1).
– Clean everything accessible through the
ejection window with a clean cloth.
– Clean locking head and base with a clean
cloth.
– Thinly apply appropriate gun oil to the
surface of the slide rail.
– Close the slide (see section 5.7.2).
– Apply few drops of oil on the slide cover in
the ejection window.
– Open and close the slide several times in
order to achieve an optimum lubrication.
Attention: Only a small amount of oil is required
to obtain perfect function. Too much oil can lead to
malfunction and to impairment of precision.
