Set-trigger Operation
The set-trigger is activated by pushing it in the forward. For the reason of safety, activate the set-trigger only after the rifle is loaded
and shortly before shooting. Do not carry your rifle with an activated set-trigger! If you have activated the set-trigger and you do not follow
through with firing, keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction while carefully engaging the safety and then squeeze the trigger.
Subsequently unload the rifle in the manner described above.
Trigger Adjustment
Independent of whether there is a mounted set-trigger or not, the trigger mechanism can be adjusted with respect to the trigger pull
weight, and the trigger travel, before and after discharge (Fig. 5). The adjustment can be performed after taking the barreled action out of
the stock by means of the setting screws A (trigger pull), B (trigger travel before) and C (trigger travel after discharge).
If the CZ 550 rifle is fitted with a set-trigger, the adjustment of the set-trigger is carried out by the screw located in front of the trigger
(Fig. 6). For safety reasons do not adjust the set-trigger travel as too short, as the rifle with an activated set-trigger is very sensitive to
shock, and during handling the rifle could unintentionally discharge. The safety of the set-trigger adjustment can be checked with the rifle
unloaded by repeated opening and closing of the bolt combined with moving of the safety to its "ON" and "OFF" positions. The
spontaneous release of the trigger must not occur.
Note:
There is a possibility of dismantling the set-trigger from the rifle, without any impairment to the functional properties or adjustment of
the conventional trigger.
