UNLOADING
WARNING: Be certain the firearm is pointed in a SAFE
direction.
WARNING: Do not place your finger on the trigger or inside the
trigger guard.
• Engage the manual safety by turning the safety selector to
the SAFE position (Fig 1+3).
• Pointing the firearm in safe direction, remove the loaded
magazine from the magazine well.
• Fully retract the bolt handle by means of the bolt handle to
remove the chambered cartridge.
WARNING: Always visually inspect the firing chamber to
ensure that it is empty. The chamber is empty when no
cartridge is visible when looking into the open chamber.
WARNING: If you are ejecting unfired cartridges, use extreme
care to be sure they are ejected onto an appropriate surface.
Never attempt to catch cartridges or fired cartridge cases as
they fall.
WARNING: Never allow anything to come in contact with the
primer of unfired ammunition. Doing so could cause the
ammunition to detonate.
• When you are sure that the chamber is empty and the
cartridge has been ejected, close the bolt.
WARNING: Closing the bolt cocks the hammer, enabling the
ARX 160 to fire immediately when reloaded.
WARNING: Always unload the firearm immediately after you
are done shooting.
