Loading BB's

Make sure the soft air rifle is 'On Safe.'
Point the soft air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION
Slide the loading port cover toward the rear of the air rifle.
Pour no more than 200 BB's into the reservoir hole. Do not put pellets in the reservoir hole because they will jam the reservoir.
Close the loading port cover.
Pull the BB retainer button back.
Point the barrel straight down.
With a hand twisting motion, shake and twist the air rifle (see Fig. 5) to fill the visual magazine (see Fig. 6)
Push the BB retainer button forward to keep the BB's in the magazine as shown in Fig. 6.
With the barrel tilted downward, cock the bolt by pulling it all the way back and then pushing it all the way forward. The magnetic bolt will pick up a BB.
Position the pellet clip so the bolt will feed through one of the pellet chambers in the clip (see Fig. 6). As you push the bolt forward slowly, you can see the BB move through the pellet clip. The BB is now in position to be fired out of the barrel. NOTE: BB's will not transfer from the magazine to the barrel if the rifle is tilted upward.

With a hand twisting motion, shake and twist the air rifle until ALL of the BB's are out of the visual magazine.
Push the BB retainer button forward to block BB's from the visual magazine.
Tilt the air rifle (barrel downward) and check to see if there are any BB's in the visual magazine. If there are still BB's in the visual magazine, repeat pumping and cocking the bolt, pointing in a SAFE DIRECTION and firing until the magazine is empty.
Pull the bolt all the way back and then slowly forward to see if there is a BB on the magnetic bolt.
If there is a BB on the magnetic bolt, pump the air rifle, and cock the bolt by pulling it all the way back and then pushing it all the way forward.

Repeat this unloading procedure until no BB's are visible on the magnetic bolt.

Loading Pellets (use .177 caliber pellets only)

Unload all of the BB's from the air rifle. DO NOT load a pellet when BB's are loaded in the air rifle. It may cause a jam.
Put the air rifle 'On Safe'.
Point the air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION.
Pull the bolt all the way back.
Grasp the pellet clip handle and remove it by pulling it to the right.
Place a pellet (nose first) in each of the five pellet chambers. IMPORTANT: To avoid jams or deforming pellets, make sure each pellet skirt is level or slightly below the rim of the pellet chamber.
Replace the pellet clip, making sure to line up one of the pellet chambers with th barrel chamber (Fig. 9). IMPORTANT: If the pellet clip is not lined up properly, you will not be able to push the bolt forward.

Main

Locate the safety directly in front of the trigger.
Push the safety from the left side all the way in. The safety is not 'On Safe' unless it is pushed all the way in and the RED ring around the safety is not showing. The air rifle will not fire when 'On Safe.' Even when the safety is 'On Safe,' you should continue to handle the air rifle safely. Do not ever point the air rifle at any person.

To Take the Air Rifle 'OFF SAFE'

Push the safety from the right side all the way in. When you can see the RED ring around the safety, the air rifle is 'Off Safe' and can be fired.

Pumping Your Air Rifle

Open the forearm all the way until it stops. Be sure to hold the forearm firmly as you open it. It could spring back into the closed position, possibly causing injury. Place your hands in the same positions shown in Fig. 3 in order to avoid being pinched, should you lose hold of the forearm. Do not twist the forearm while pumping. Use straight strokes to prevent breakage.
Be sure to use at least two pumps (but not more than 10) to prevent the barrel from jamming with a BB or a pellet remaining in the barrel after firing.
Return the forearm to the original closed position with a smooth stroke. Be sure to hold the forearm firmly as you close it to prevent it from springing open and possibly causing injury.
