Daisy 840C Mossy Oak Grizzly - Manual (Page 5)

FIG. 8
SIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
Your 845 Target BB gun
is equipped with a hooded
front sight with four inter-
changeable inserts, and a
precision rear peep sight.
(See instructions packed
with the sight.) You will have to experiment with the inter-
changeable front inserts to determine which is best for you.
The Model 840/841 is equipped with a rear sight that is
adjustable for elevation. Raise the rear sight to make the gun
shoot higher. Lower the rear sight to make the gun shoot
lower. (Fig. 9)
STEP 7. TAKE “OFF”
TRIGGER SAFETY
When you are certain the tar-
get, backstop and surrounding
area is safe, push the trigger
safety from right to left until red
band is exposed. (Fig. 10)
STEP 8. FIRE
After completing the operation steps, your gun may be fired
by gently, but firmly, squeezing the trigger. NOTE: The bolt
must be completely closed, as indicated in Step 5. IMPOR-
TANT:
Do not leave the gun pumped up for more than one
hour or damage to the gun could result.
WARNING: If a BB or pellet does not fire after com-
pleting the operation steps, the gun is jammed. This is a dan-
gerous condition. Keep gun pointed in a safe direction and
repeat all operation steps except Step 4. If a projectile still
does not fire, do the following:
1. Put the trigger safety “ON SAFE” (no red showing).
2. Open bolt.
3. Clear barrel by running a cleaning rod through from the
muzzle end. Be careful not to damage the bolt tip by push-
ing the rod through too hard. Do not reuse this BB or pellet.
4. Repeat operation steps.
If, after following the firing procedure, the BB or pellet still
does not fire, your gun should be returned to the factory (See
“Repair of Daisy Guns” section).
EMPTY BB MAGAZINE
Put “ON” trigger safety. Open BB loading door, cup your
hand under it and turn gun fully to its left side. Shake gun until
all BBs are removed. To make sure no BBs remain in the feed
system, raise the muzzle, shake gun, and work the bolt for-
ward and all the way back several times, removing any BBs
that appear.
CAUTION: Never assume the gun is empty of projec-
tiles. Always point the gun in a safe direction.

UNLOAD PELLET
The bolt does not extract a pellet. You must put the trigger
safety “ON”, pull the bolt back, insert a cleaning rod in the
muzzle end of the gun and push the pellet out. Be careful not
to damage the bolt tip by pushing the rod through too hard.
AMMUNITION
Use only BBs or .177 cal. (4.5mm) pellets that are labeled as
such. DO NOT use buckshot, ball bearings, or other foreign
objects, as they could damage or jam your gun.
Daisy recommends lead-free pellets for shooters 12 years
of age or under.
PROPER CARE
The exposed metal
parts (barrel, lever,
screwheads, etc.)
should occasionally be
wiped clean, using a
soft cloth lightly oiled
with clean motor oil.
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 contain substances or additives
harmful to the rubber seals or other components.
The pump piston has a felt wiper ring that should occasion-
ally be oiled. Invert the gun and fully open the forearm lever.
You will see “Oil Here” and an arrow pointing to the felt wiper
which can be seen through a slot in the forward end of the
pump tube. Add two drops of oil to the felt wiper after each
2,000 shots.
The forearm lever pivot joints should be sparingly lubricated by
occasionally adding one drop of oil to each pivot pin. (Fig. 11)
STORAGE
Unload ammunition and store it in a separate place from the
gun to keep away from untrained shooters. 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, put “ON” trigger safety. Always make sure the gun
isempty and the trigger safety “ON” before storage; also, the
gun should be clean, dry and oiled.
MODIFICATION
WARNING: The components of this gun were engi-
neered 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 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 affected.
