BBs) toward you, insert any .117 caliber (4.5mm) pellet or BB into each
of the visible ammo clip openings at each end of the magazine. (FIG.
5A). Daisy brand BBs and Pellets are recommended.
B. By rotating each of the two ammo cylinders, you can load up to a
total of 16 pieces of ammunition (any combination of BBs and
.177 caliber pellets).
WARNING: The following three points must be strictly
followed. Failure to do so could result in the rie failing to
discharge a projectile although it may remain in the barrel.
This could be a dangerous condition. Also, jamming or
damage to the rie could occur.
1. DO NOT use distorted or
deformed pellets. Carefully
check the skirt of each pellet
before loading. Use only Daisy
brand .177 cal. (4.5mm) pellets
or BBs.
2. DO NOT load the pellets in
backwards. (i.e. DO NOT load
pellets skirt forward.
3. DO NOT use buckshot, ball
bearings or any other foreign
objects.
C. Insert the loaded ammunition
magazine back into the CO
2
clip.
(FIG. 5B)
STEP 4. COCK
To cock the gun, while holding the gun rmly and pointing it in a safe
direction, grip the bolt handle, pull back, and release. (FIG 6) The gun
is now cocked and loaded, so use extreme caution in handling the
gun. Each time the trigger is pulled, another projectile will be loaded.
Even if the gun fails to re, always assume that the gun is loaded and
keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
STEP 5. AIM AT A SAFE TARGET
To be a consistent marksman, use the correct sight picture each time
you re this gun. (FIG. 7)
CAUTION: Due to
the power of this CO
2
Winchester Air Rie, use
extra precaution in
selecting a safe target
backstop. Improper targets
may cause ricochet. This
gun should not be used
with target backstops
designed for low velocity
airguns. Select a target
backstop which will not
cause a ricochet. Use only target backstops which are designed for
use with high-powered airguns. Do not shoot BBs at a pellet trap and
do not shoot at the surface of water as ricochet may occur. (See page
13 regarding selecting a proper target backstop).
STEP 6. TAKE “OFF” SAFETY
When you are certain that the target, backstop and surrounding area
is safe, position the safety in the “OFF” safe position – RED SHOWING
by pushing the safety lever forward. (FIG. 2B) Pulling the trigger now
will re the gun.
STEP 7. FIRE
Make sure the gun is pointed at a safe target and slowly squeeze the
trigger. Because the MP4 has a semi-automatic action, after ring
the rst shot, the gun is automatically cocked and ready to re the
next shot. KEEP THE GUN POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. When
you have red a total of 8 shots, eject the ammunition magazine, ip
it around and insert the opposite end back into the CO
2
clip to shoot
the remaining 8 shots.
STEP 8. PUT “ON” SAFETY – NO RED SHOWING
After ring, return the safety to the “ON” safe position – NO RED
SHOWING. (FIG. 2A)
AMMUNITION DOES NOT FIRE
WARNING: If a BB or pellet does not re after completing the
operations steps, do not assume that the gun is unloaded. Keep the
gun pointed in a safe direction and repeat all operations steps except
Steps 2 and 3.
MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHECKS IF AMMUNITION
DOES NOT FIRE
A. Did the ammunition clip contain .177 cal. (4.5mm) Daisy® Precision
Max
TM
or similar quality ammunition and was it installed in the
gun correctly? If not, ll the magazine with BBs or .177 cal. (4.5mm)
pellets, reinsert it into the CO
2
clip and into the gun then repeat
the operation steps.
B. Was the safety in the “OFF” safety position – RED SHOWING –
when the trigger was pulled? If not, repeat the operation steps.
C. Were two fresh CO
2
cylinders installed properly and were the
hex-head screws tightened suciently to have punctured the CO
2
cylinders’ seals? If not, put the safety in the “ON” safe position
– NO RED SHOWING. Insert fresh CO
2
cylinders and repeat the
operations steps. Refer to the section on CO
2
characteristics.
(Page 9-10)
D. If the gun still does not re, refer to the warning below.
WARNING: If the gun still fails to shoot a BB or pellet after
checking the items above, there is a malfunction in the rie. This
could represent a dangerous condition. There could be a BB or pellet
in the gun even thought a BB or pellet did not shoot out. Always
treat the gun as if it were loaded. At no time should you look down
the barrel of the gun.
1. Put the safety in the “ON” safe position – NO RED SHOWING.
2. Remove CO
2
clip and ammunition magazine.
3. With the gun pointed in a safe direction and parallel to the ground
(as if in a shooting position), run a cleaning rod (of sucient length
to reach the breech of the gun) from the muzzle of the barrel
toward the action.
4. Lodged ammunition should fall out through the ammunition
magazine port.
5. Repeat operation steps.
6. If, after following the operation steps the gun does not re a
projectile, your gun should be returned to the factory.
