Rules of safe shooting
• Never point a gun at anyone or anything, even if you think the gun is unloaded.
• Wear safety glasses where appropriate and ensure those around you do, too.
• Always use a safe backstop in a safe location in case the backstop should fail or
any pellets pass through it.
• Never load your gun until you are ready to shoot and it is safe to do so.
• Never shoot at hard surfaces, water or anything else that may cause a ricochet.
• Always ensure the gun is on SAFE and is unloaded when receiving or giving the
gun to someone else. Many accidents are caused by people handling guns that
they thought were unloaded and safe!
• Never put a gun away loaded or cocked.
• Put your gun on SAFE when you are not shooting or are done shooting.
• Always be sure of your target and what lies beyond it in case you miss.
• Never re-use ammunition.
• Ensure you always use the correct caliber and type of ammunition suitable for
your gun.
• Always treat a gun as if it is loaded and with the respect any loaded gun
commands.
• Always read and follow the manufacturer’s manual and instructions.
• Always make sure you understand how to use any gun before using it.
• Always keep your nger off the trigger and clear of the triggerguard until you are
ready to shoot and it is safe to do so.
• Always store the gun in a safe place, unloaded and uncocked, and out of reach
of children and unauthorized users.
• Always store ammunition separately from the gun.
• Always abide by laws and regulations that apply to airguns.
• Always use the correct and recommended lubricants; failure to do so may cause
injury or damage and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
• YOU are the most important safety feature!
Shooting is one of the safest sports in the world, but misuse and careless use of
guns can cause serious injury or death.
ASK, LISTEN, THINK—IF IN DOUBT—DON’T!

Maintenance
In the unlikely event your rie malfunctions or exhibits reduced performance, DO
NOT attempt to x the problem yourself. Please call Air Venturi so we can address
any issues or have you return the gun for repair.
Air Venturi service line: 216-220-1180
1. Air compression chamber: The air compression chamber and piston seal require
no lubrication. They should be lubricated during factory service only.
2. Steel mainspring: The mainspring is the power source for the air rie. A break-
in period of 1,000 rounds is usually necessary before maximum velocities
are reached. Once the airgun is properly broken in, periodic lubrication may
be applied for smooth operation. Lightly apply chamber lube directly to the
mainspring through the slot on the underside of the cylinder. Use only a small
amount, as excess will damage the air rie. Do not use common household oil—
use oil made specically for spring guns.
3. Barrel hinge & other bearing surfaces: The main bearing surfaces, such as the
barrel pivot lever and cocking arm, should be lubricated with a good lubricating
gel. Use only one drop per side, as excess may cause galling.
4. Barrel: The barrel normally requires minimal care. For best accuracy, the bore
should be cleaned with a lightly oiled patch or felt cleaning pellets only when
you notice the gun is no longer accurate. Do not use regular rearm bore clean-
ers, as they may damage the seals and cause dieseling. Always clean from the
breech end and use a cleaning rod designed for airguns to protect the riing and
crown.
5. Exterior: To prevent rust from forming from the acid on your hands, wipe down
the exterior wood and metal with a silicone cloth after every shooting session or
after handling.
When performing maintenance, make sure your gun is unloaded. Always keep your
nger off the trigger during any maintenance routine.
