PUMP LEVER ADJUSTMENT

IMPORTANT: After 500 shots, and every 1,000 shots thereafter, the length of the pump

lever stroke may need adjustment in order to maintain maximum performance. To check

and make the needed adjustments, follow these steps:

Step 1. After firing the gun, open the pump lever and close to the point where a slight

resistance can be felt and stop.

Step 2. Measure the distance between the receiver and end of the pump lever as shown

in Figure 6. This dimension should be between 1 1/8 and 1 1/2 inches. If the

clearance dimension on your gun is within this range, no adjustment is required.

If the clearance dimension is not within this range, proceed to Step 3.

Step 3. With the pump lever in the fully open position, place a screwdriver with a large

blade between slots in the threaded portion of the pump. (Fig. 7) To increase the

pump lever clearance, rotate the screwdriver clockwise. To decrease the pump

lever clearance, rotate the screwdriver counterclockwise.

NOTE: Adjusting the pump lever to a clearance dimension larger than 1 1/2 inches

will overstress the gun and will result in permanent damage to the gun. Maximum

performance will be achieved by adjusting the clearance as specified in Step 2.

PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To maintain top shooting performance, lightly oil the three pump lever hinges and pump

oil wiper on the pump rod every 1,000 shots (Fig. 8). Excessive oil on the wiper will affect

accuracy. When a finger is pressed against the wiper, only a light trace of oil should be

deposited on the finger. Excess oil on the wiper will migrate into the pump system and

can affect accuracy from heavy oil deposits in the barrel. Use only a 20-weight non-

detergent automotive motor oil. Other type oils may ruin the seals. The exterior is cleaned

by wiping with a soft, clean cloth. The screws and rear sight should be wiped with oil to

prevent rust.
