2.1.8 Gas Valve Position

The gas volume required for the function of the SIG551-A1 rifle can be controlled by the gas valve. The gas valve has two
positions:

a. Position 1 (Rib of gas valve in vertical position).

Under normal conditions, the gas valve should remain in Position 1. This will give the best all-around performance and
function.

b. Position 2 (Rib of gas valve in the slanted position).

PoS 1 - riB VertiCal

PoS 2 - riB SlanteD
