Owner's Manual

DO NOT MODIFY YOUR AIR RIFLE
CAUTION: THE COMPONENTS OF YOUR AIRGUN WERE ENGINEERED AND
MANUFACTURED TO DELIVER OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE. ANY MODIFICATION OR
TAMPERING WITH YOUR AIRGUN MAY CAUSE A MALFUNCTION, WILL VOID YOUR
WARRANTY, AND MAY MAKE IT UNSAFE TO USE. ANY CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE (SUCH
AS A LOWERED TRIGGER PULL FORCE AND SHORTENED TRIGGER TRAVEL), INDICATES
POSSIBLE MODIFICATION, TAMPERING, AND/OR WEAR. SUCH AIRGUN SHOULD BE
INSPECTED, REPLACED, OR PROPERLY REPAIRED BY ONLY QUALIFIED UMAREX
USA PERSONNEL. ANY AIRGUN THAT HAS BEEN DROPPED SHOULD BE CHECKED BY
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO ENSURE THAT ITS FUNCTION HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED.
ATTEMPTING TO OR REMOVING THE MUZZLEBRAKE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
AMMUNITION
Your Walther Air Rie is designed to re .177, .22, or .25 caliber lead
pellets only. The correct caliber is marked on the rifle. We recommend
the use of RWS Pellets because of their superb accuracy and dimensional
uniformity. The correct caliber is clearly stamped on the barrel near the
breech block or on the breech block.
NEVER DRY FIRE YOUR AIR RIFLE
If the air rifle is fired without a lead pellet or RWS Cleaning Pellet in the
breech, it will cause the piston to bottom out in the cylinder which can
permanently damage the air rifle.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: BEFORE ANY CARE, CLEANING, OR MAINTENANCE, ALWAYS BE
SURE YOUR AIR RIFLE IS “ON SAFE” AND UNLOADED. KEEP IT POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN YOUR AIRGUN PROPERLY.
WORKING PARTS: The working parts (piston and mainspring) require very
little lubrication. Two(2) drops of RWS Air Chamber Lube every 1000 shots
will suffice. It is easily applied through the compression chamber port with
a 3 1/2" applicator needle (see illustration 10). The wearing surfaces at
the barrel hinge, the cocking arm, and the trigger mechanism should be
lubricated with RWS Spring Cylinder Oil (see illustration 11a). Mainsprings
should be oiled every 1000 shots with six(6) drops of RWS Spring Cylinder
Oil (see illustration 11b). Remember, a little is good—a lot is not better.
WARNING: AN AIRGUN THAT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY BE
DANGEROUS. IT SHOULD BE KEPT SAFELY FROM USE BY ANYONE UNTIL REPAIRED
OR DESTROYED. DO NOT TRY TO TAKE THE AIRGUN APART. IT IS DIFFICULT TO
REASSEMBLE AND IMPROPER DISASSEMBLY OR REASSEMBLY CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
BARREL: In day to day use, very little dirt or residue will accumulate in
the bore. This can be removed by using RWS Cleaning Pellets. Note: High
quality RWS Lead Pellets not only increase accuracy, they help to reduce
lead deposit. During periods of regular use the bore of the barrel should be
cleaned periodically by means of a felt wad or cleaning rod with wool mop.
Wire brushes should not be used. Insert rod from breech end.
SURFACE: The exposed metal parts (receiver, screw heads, etc.) are a
gun blue finish and MUST be wiped clean using a slightly oiled cloth after
handling to prevent rust. Use light acid free and resin free oil. RWS Spring
Cylinder Oil is excellent for this.
CAUTION: OILS THAT CONTAIN ACID OR RESIN CAN DAMAGE THE BREECH
SEAL, COMPRESSION SEAL, AND POSSIBLY THE FINISH OF THE STOCK.
