ENGLISH

Before firing your STEYR AUG, pull a clean patch through

the barrel, from the chamber end to the muzzle end, using the cleaning

string. Repeat this procedure until the patch comes out of the barrel

with no gun oil or cleaner-lubricant-preservative on it.

Always be sure that the barrel of your STEYR AUG is clear

of obstructions before firing it. Remove any obstructions before fir-

ing your STEYR AUG so that it will function safely and correctly. Any

obstruction in the barrel could prevent the STEYR AUG from firing prop-

erly and result in death or serious personal injury and damage to the

STEYR AUG.

In case of a failure to fire, continue to hold your STEYR AUG

pointed towards the target for at least 30 seconds. If a hang fire (slow

ignition) has occurred, the cartridge should fire within approximately

30 seconds. If the cartridge has not fired, remove the magazine, eject

the cartridge from the chamber and examine its primer. If the firing pin

indentation is light, off-center, or non-existent, have your STEYR AUG

examined by STEYR authorized personnel. If the firing pin indentation

on the primer appears normal (compared to similar previously fired

cartridges) the cartridge may be defective. Separate the cartridge from

other live ammunition and empty cases, reload your STEYR AUG and

resume firing. NOTE: Dispose of misfired cartridges in accordance with

the ammunition manufacturer’s instructions.

Never use your STEYR AUG if it fails to function properly,

and never force the bolt closed on a jammed cartridge because it could

cause the cartridge to explode.

Never pull the trigger if the bolt does not fully close to

prevent a possible out of battery firing. If this happens, unload the

STEYR AUG as described in Chapter 4 and examine the round that was

in the chamber and check the chamber to ensure that there are no

obstructions or debris in it.
