Cocking, loading and safety
operation
• To cock the piston pull the cocking lever
slowly backwards to the stop. The action
opens and the barrel chamber becomes
visible.
• To load push the lead diabolo pellet with
its flat head flush with the front of the
loading platform.
• To lock the breech press the lever slowly
forward until you feel and hear that it
locked into position. The action is now
closed.
• The rifle now is ready for shooting (loaded
and cocked). The compressed air cylinder
must be filled.
The lateral safety lever can be operated when
the rifle is cocked.
The rifle is
• safe, when the ”S“ (safe) is pressed in.
• ready for shooting when the ”F“ (fire) is
pressed in.
Please note
The safety lever must latch properly the ”F“ or
”S“ position and must never be situated
between the two.
Do not store the rifle when it is cocked.
Remove the compressed air cylinder before
storing your rifle (also see chapter
”Compressed Air Cylinder/Handling”!). Only
use diabolo pellets in the caliber of your air
rifle, no bolts or other foreign materials.
Unloading
It is only possible to remove a pellet from the
action by firing it off which should only be
done by firing it into a bullet trap. Observe
the safety regulations with regard to the safe
handling of rifles.
Ammunition tests
To carry out ammunition tests, please
clamp the barreled action without stock
into a vice.
