Daisy PowerLine 901 - Manual (Page 4)

Open the bolt and put “ON” trigger safety immediately. If
the bolt is not completely closed, do not try to close it until
after opening it by pulling the bolt handle all the way back.
The gun will not fire a projectile when the bolt is completely
open.
Repeat all operations except Step 4 (do not load BB or pel-
let), pumping gun 10 times. If a projectile still does not fire,
follow these steps carefully:
1. Open bolt.
2. Put trigger safety “ON”.
3. Clear barrel by running a cleaning rod through from the
muzzle end. Be careful not to damage the bolt tip by pushing
the rod through too hard. Do not reuse this BB or pellet.
4. Repeat operation steps. Make sure a BB or pellet is fed
into firing position. If after following the firing procedure the
projectile is not fired, return your gun to Daisy (See “REPAIR
OF DAISY GUNS” section).
UNLOAD PELLETS
The magnetic tip does not extract a pellet. You must shoot
the pellet out if a safe target is available. If a safe target is not
available, open bolt, put trigger safety “ON”, insert a cleaning
rod in the muzzle end and push the pellet out of the barrel.
Do not allow a pellet to fall into the rear of the loading port
and become jammed in the BB feed hole.
TO EMPTY MAGAZINE
Open bolt and put trigger safety “ON”. Open the BB maga-
zine door, cup your hand over it and tilt the gun fully to the
left side. Shake gun until all BBs are removed. Then remove
BB from loading port (Figure 7). To make certain no BBs
remain, raise muzzle, shake well and work bolt forward and
all the way back several times, removing any BBs that
appear.
WARNING:
Never assume gun is empty of pro-
jectiles. Always point the gun in a safe direction.
WARNING:
EVEN IF YOU HAVE FIRED THE AIR-
GUN ONE OR MORE TIMES AND NO BB WAS EXPELLED, IT
DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE GUN IS EMPTY OF BBs.
CONTINUE TO TREAT THE AIRGUN AS IF IT IS LOADED.
REAR SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Your air gun is equipped with an adjustable rear sight.
HOW TO ADJUST SIGHT RIGHT OR LEFT (WINDAGE):
Loosen screw “A” by turning counterclockwise (Figure 10).
Move rear sight to the right side of the gun to make it shoot
to the right, or to the left side of the gun to make the gun
shoot to the left. Make certain screw “A” is retightened after
adjustment.
HOW TO ADJUST SIGHT UP OR DOWN (ELEVATION):
Raise the rear sight by moving sight elevator back to make
the gun shoot higher. Lower the rear sight by moving the sight
elevator forward to make the gun shoot lower (Figure 11).

PROPER CARE
To maintain top shooting performance, lightly oil the three
pumping lever hinges and the foam wiper on the piston every
1,000 shots (Figure 12). Use a 10-, 20- or 30-weight non-
detergent, automotive motor oil. DO NOT use light, household
type oils or aerosol type spray lubricants since they may con-
tain substances or additives harmful to the rubber seals or
other components. Clean the exterior by wiping with a soft,
clean, lightly oiled cloth. The screws are a gun blue finish.
Wipe with oil to prevent rust.
CAUTION:
Improper lubricants, such as aerosol
type spray lubricants, can ignite (diesel) during pumping. Use
only automotive motor oils.
STORAGE
Before putting the gun away in a cabinet or gun rack, shoot
the gun at a safe target to make sure the pump system and
barrel are empty. Then, open the bolt and place the trigger
safety “ON” (“PUSH SAFE”), then close the bolt. Always make
sure the gun is empty and the trigger safety is “ON” (“PUSH
SAFE”) before storage. The gun should also be clean, dry and
oiled.
Store projectiles in a separate location from the gun to keep
them away from untrained shooters.
WARNING:
EVEN IF YOU HAVE FIRED THE AIR-
GUN ONE OR MORE TIMES AND NO BB WAS EXPELLED, IT
DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE GUN IS EMPTY OF BBs.
CONTINUE TO TREAT THE AIRGUN AS IF IT IS LOADED.
MODIFICATION
WARNING:
The components of this gun were
engineered to deliver optimum performance. Any modification
or tampering with a gun may cause a malfunction and may
make it unsafe to use. Any change in performance, such as a
lowered trigger force and shortened trigger travel, indicates
possible wear and such gun should be inspected, replaced or
properly repaired by qualified personnel. Any gun that has
been dropped should be checked by qualified personnel to
insure that its function has not been effected.
WARNING:
A GUN THAT IS NOT OPERATING
PROPERLY MAY BE DANGEROUS. IT SHOULD BE KEPT
SAFELY FROM USE BY ANYONE UNTIL REPAIRED OR
DESTROYED. DO NOT TRY TO TAKE THE GUN APART. IT IS
DIFFICULT TO REASSEMBLE, AND IMPROPER REASSEM-
BLY CAN CAUSE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.
