Daisy PowerLine TargetPro 953 - Manual (Page 7)

LUBRICATION
Your PowerLine ® 953 Pellet Rifle should be
lubricated approximately every 1000 shots. Lubricate
the pump piston foam wiper ring by inverting the gun
and opening the lever fully. You will see “Oil Here.”
Oil the felt wiper which can be seen through a slot in
the pump tube. Add oil, drop-by-drop, until the wiper
appears saturated.
The pump lever pivot joints should be lubricated
sparingly by adding one or two drops of oil to each
pivot pin (See Drawing No. 13).
PROPER CARE:
With care, periodic cleaning and lubrication, your PowerLine ® 953 Pellet Rifle will provide many
years of shooting enjoyment. As is the case with conventional firearms, abuse, neglect and
continued exposure to the elements will impair the performance. Learn to take care of your
PowerLine
® 953 Pellet Rifle and it will serve you well.
CAUTION: Never attempt to clean the PowerLine ® 953 Pellet Rifle until you put the trigger
safety in the “ON” position (no red showing), have made absolutely certain that the gun is not
loaded and have the bolt in the fully open position.
STOCK AND FOREARM: The synthetic stock may be wiped clean with a damp rag.
EXTERIOR PARTS: Exposed metal parts (i.e., receiver, barrel, etc.) should occasionally be wiped
clean using a soft, lightly oiled cloth. Use a clean motor oil.
BARREL: The barrel should be cleaned occasionally to maintain accuracy. We recommend using
Daisy’s No. 5875 Cleaning Kit. To clean the barrel, open bolt and insert cleaning rod and oil
saturated patches into the muzzle-end of the bore. Retract the rod and patch from the barrel.
Repeat this procedure several times with oiled patches, then switch to dry patches. Continue using
dry patches until most of the oil is removed from the bore.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the sealing tip on the bolt when the cleaning rod tip enters the
loading area. Frequent cleaning may be necessary when the gun is new, and until excess oil is
removed from the pump system.
CAUTION: Do not use improper lubricants, such as aerosol type spray lubricants, which
can ignite (diesel) during pumping. Use only automotive motor oils.
