Daisy AVANTI Elite 753 - Manual (Page 4)

CAUTION:
Be sure to grasp pump handle firmly as you close the lever to prevent it from
snapping back and causing possible injury. Also be careful to keep fingers out of cocking
mechanism when closing lever. (See “PINCH POINTS,” Drawing No. 2).
WARNING:
Do not open the bolt, close the bolt, and then pull the trigger before
pumping. This procedure can result in a loaded gun and a projectile being expelled from the
gun during pumping. Recock the gun by opening the bolt and put “ON” trigger safety before
pumping as in Steps 1 and 2.
CAUTION:
If gun is left unpumped for an extended period of time OR pumped more than
once, all of the air may not be expelled when the gun is shot. This could result in a second
pellet being shot without the gun having been pumped. Also, leaving your gun pumped for
more than one hour could result in damage to your gun.
Step 4. LOAD
LOADING PELLETS: With the bolt back, lower the
muzzle slightly and load a pellet, solid end forward
(See Drawing No. 3).
Step 5. CLOSE BOLT
Push the bolt handle fully forward. This will chamber
a pellet and lock the bolt. (See Drawing No. 4) The gun
will not fire if the bolt is open.
CAUTION:
The gun is now loaded
and ready to fire.
Step 6. AIM AT SAFE TARGET
Aim the gun at a safe target. To be a consistent
marksman, use the correct sight picture each time
you fire your gun (See Drawing No. 5). Never point a
gun, loaded or unloaded, at anyone.
CAUTION:
Use extra caution in selecting a
safe target and backstop. This gun should not
be used with BB gun targets or backstops. Whether
you use a commercial target and backstop or make
your own, it is important to remember that they will
wear out with continued use. Because of this you
should always place your target and backstop where
it will be safe should it fail, and check it carefully
before and after each use. Do not shoot at the surface
of wate r.
Step 7. TAKE “OFF” TRIGGER SAFETY
When you are certain the target, backstop and
surrounding area is safe, push the trigger safety from
the right, fully to the left (RED SHOWING ON LEFT).
Your gun is now cocked and ready to shoot. In this
condition, it should be handled with extreme care.
