Safety Guidelines
For: RX150
The RX150 is equipped with an automatic safety, which engages every time the
crossbow is cocked. The safety must be released before each shot. This, as with
any other mechanical device does not guarantee total safety, as no safety device
is a substitute for common sense and safe handling. NEVER pull the trigger on a
crossbow when the safety is in the “safe” position or anywhere between “safe”
and “fire”. Do not attempt to alter or modify the trigger mechanism, doing so
will void your warranty and may cause personal injury to yourself or others.
The following rules should be followed at all times: EXTREME CAUTION
SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES WHEN HANDLING A
CROSSBOW. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
! Always keep your fingers below the flight track and out of the path
of the strings when firing the crossbow.
! Never dry-fire the crossbow (shoot without an arrow). Dry firing
will void the warranty and result in damage to the limb, cable and
string, possibly causing personal injury.
! Never fire the crossbow until you are sure of your target.
! Always use an adequate target and backstop when target shooting.
! Always use suitable crossbow arrows, such as Barnett's 16" 2117
or 2216 Aluminum Crossbow Arrows. Arrows of improper
stiffness or mass weight may damage the limb and cable assembly,
voiding the warranty and possibly cause personal injury.
! Always inspect the crossbow and arrows before firing. Bent or
damaged arrows are not safe to fire and should be discarded or
repaired.
