      Put the airgun on "Safe" by pushing the safety in from the left side all the way in if pellets are jammed. The safety is located right at the back of the trigger. The red ring should not be showing. Then, empty and take out the CO2 cartridge by slowly turning the cap and letting gas escape. Then, pull the filler assembly from the action tube, and remove the cartridge by pointing the muzzle downward. Open the bolt, and insert a ramrod down the barrel starting at the muzzle. Push the pellet into the loading port and discard it.

      Oil the gun if the action is sticky. The bolt and trigger should operate smoothly. Again, check to ensure the gun is on safety, and remove the CO2 cylinder. Put one drop of oil on the tip of every CO2 cylinder and one drop of oil on the bolt o-ring.

      Adjust the sights if the airgun shoots too high or low, left or right. Loosen the elevation screw on the rear sight by turning it counterclockwise. Then, move the sight up to make the pellet hit higher. Move it down to hit lower, and then tighten the elevation screw. Adjust the windage screw by following the same procedure. Move the sight to the right to hit more to the right and to the left to hit more to the left.
