CARE
NEVER STORE A LOADED OR COCKED AIRGUN. Unload pellet from the
airgun. Keep air rie away from children and untrained shooters. Store pellets
separately from the air rie to keep them from untrained shooters. Protect your
air rie from moisture and dirt; clean airgun and wrap it in a smooth, dry cloth.
If you are going to store your airgun for an extended length of time be sure the
barrel is protected. This can be accomplished by coating the bore with RWS
Spring Cylinder Oil. Always use a soft cloth and insert the cleaning rod from the
breech end on break barrel ries. Remove the oil completely before the next use.
REMEMBER: Always check to see that the airgun is unloaded when getting from
storage or from another person.
With care and routine inspections your airgun will provide many sessions of
shooting enjoyment. Abuse, neglect and continued exposure to the elements will
impair the performance of any airgun.

Air Rie is designed to re pellets only. We recommend the
use of RWS Pellets because of their superb accuracy and dimensional uniformity.
The correct caliber is clearly indicated on the rie.
11. Care and Maintenance
10A. Unloading a Pellet
Fire the pellet at a SAFE TARGET to unload the airgun. If this is not practical, put
the air rie “ON SAFE”, cock the airgun to open the barrel, and push the pellet
from the chamber by running a cleaning rod through the muzzle end. Insert 2
RWS Cleaning Pellets and discharge into a safe target.
10B. Removing a Jammed Pellet
If a pellet is jammed in the barrel, DO NOT reload
the air rie.
1. Cock the air rie (see STEP 4. COCKING
YOUR AIR RIFLE), point the air rie in a SAFE
DIRECTION, put the air rie in the “OFF SAFE”
position and squeeze the trigger to re.
2. Break the barrel open slightly (without pulling
the barrel all the way down to the point that it
cocks) and look down the breech to see if the air rie is jammed (see illustration
8). NEVER LOOK DOWN THE MUZZLE.
3. If the air rie is still jammed, with the barrel opened slightly, insert the correct
caliber ramrod into the muzzle and push the jammed pellet out. Do not try to
reuse that pellet. If you are not able to unjam your air rie, contact Umarex USA’s
Service Department.

Syrix Air Rie is equipped with an
adjustable rear sight, with vertical and horizontal
adjustments.
Elevation Settings—If the rie shoots high: turn the
top wheel(1) clockwise (see illustration 7). If the rie
shoots low: turn the wheel counterclockwise.
Windage Settings—Windage settings are controlled by turning the knob(2)
on the side (see illustration 7). If the air rie shoots to the right: adjust
counterclockwise. If it shoots to the left: adjust clockwise.

Before any care, cleaning or maintenance, always be sure your airgun is unloaded. Keep
pointed in a safe direction. It is important to perform routine inspections and maintain your
airgun properly.
CAUTION
Never dry fire your air rifle. If the air rifle is fired without a pellet it will cause the piston to
bottom out in the cylinder which can permanently damage the air rifle.
CAUTION
Oils that contain acid or resin can damage seals and possibly the finish
of the airgun.
NOTICE
An airgun that is not operating properly may be
dangerous. It should be kept safely from use by anyone until repaired or
destroyed. Do not try to take the airgun apart. It is difficult to reassemble and
improper disassembly or reassembly can cause serious injury or death.
