PSE Archery Viper Series Crossbow - Manual (Page 3)

Safety
1. ALWAYS treat your crossbow as you would any weapon
or firearm. It is a powerful weapon that can be deadly if
mishandled.
2. ALWAYS keep your crossbow pointed in a safe direction.
Never point your crossbow at anything you don’t intent to
shoot.
3. NEVER enter a vehicle with a loaded crossbow. Always
uncock and properly stow your crossbow for
transportation.
4. ALWAYS check your crossbow to make sure that it is in
proper mechanical order. Check for damaged, worn, loose
or missing parts.
5. NEVER dry fire your crossbow. Firing the crossbow
without an arrow will cause damage not only to the cross
bow but possible bodily injury to you and anyone in the
area. It also voids the warranty.
6. DO NOT make changes or alterations to any parts of this
crossbow as it may cause an unsafe condition and will
void the warranty.
7. NEVER release the safety on your crossbow until you are
ready to shoot and are sure of your target.
8. NEVER shoot any arrow or other projectile from your
crossbow that has not been recommended by PSE. Use
only arrows of the proper size, weight and length.
9. ALWAYS keep your fingers and thumb out of the path of
the string and cables while shooting your crossbow.
Failure to do so will cause injury.
WARNING:
Use extreme caution while operating this weapon.
Never walk, run, crawl, ride a horse, ATV,
motorcycle or travel in a vehicle with a loaded or
cocked crossbow. Accidental discharge could prove
harmful or fatal.
