OPERATION
8. Firing Your Air Rie
When you are absolutely sure your air rie is aimed at a safe target and you
are ready to re, put your air rie “OFF SAFE” (see STEP 3. OPERATING THE
SAFETY). Squeeze the trigger.
NOTE: Many factors affect airgun performance and velocity, including brand of
projectile, lubrication, barrel condition and temperature.
7. Aiming at a Safe Target
Always aim your air rie in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always choose your target
carefully. It is best to shoot at a paper bullseye target which is attached to a safe
backstop. A heavy blanket should be hung behind the target backstop to prevent
ricochet should you miss the backstop. Think about what you will hit if you miss
the target.
THE UMAREX
®
SYRIX AIR RIFLE
has open sights. Air ries with this
type of sight are correctly aimed
when the front sight blade is
positioned exactly in the notch of the
rear sight. The top of the front sight
blade should be even with the top of the notch in the rear sight. The bullseye
should appear to rest on the top of the front sight (illustration 6).
6. Closing the Barrel
Never assume that because the airgun no longer fires a projectile that a projectile is not
lodged in the barrel. Always treat the airgun as though it is loaded and with the same respect
you would a firearm.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to reuse fired pellets or pellets which are deformed. Projectiles such
as steel shot (BBs) and darts may damage your air rifle and cause injury to yourself or
bystanders due to ricocheting, and will void the warranty.
CAUTION
If a pellet does not fire after completing the operation
steps, the airgun may be jammed. An unfired projectile in the barrel can be a
dangerous situation. Keep the airgun pointed in a safe direction and repeat all
operation steps except step 5. If a projectile still does not fire, do the following:
1. Put in “on safe” position (see illustration 2).
2. Cock the airgun and leave the barrel open with the safety in the
“on safe” position.
3. Clear barrel by inserting a cleaning rod through the muzzle end.
4. Repeat operation steps.
WARNING
Lead pellets contain lead, a chemical known to the state
of california to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Do
not inhale dust or put lead pellets in mouth. Wash hands after handling. Keep
away from children.
