Note:

To ensure that your airgun works properly, please use only Walther

88g CO

cylinders.

Prior to installing each 88g CO

cylinder, apply 1 drop of RWS Chamber

Lube on the tip of the CO

cylinder. This will extend the life of the seal. To

insert an 88 g CO

cylinder, press simultaneously on the indentations at

the sides of the butt plate (Fig. 3.a) and pull it off (Fig. 3.b). Residual CO

may escape when you remove the old cylinder. Insert the new cylinder narrow end first into the stock (Fig. 3.c) and screw it tight. The cylinder has now been pierced and sealed off. Push the butt plate back on until it clicks into place (Fig. 3.d). To test whether the cylinder has been pierced, make sure the gun is not loaded, pull back the cocking lever and shoot in a safe direction. If the gun doesn't fire, check the items in Section 12.

WARNING:

FIRING THE AIR RIFLE WITH LOW GAS PRESSURE MAY CAUSE A PELLET TO GET STUCK IN THE BARREL.

WARNING:

Do not place your hand or fingers over the muzzle. Always make sure your air rifle is pointing in a SAFE DIRECTION, and keep your finger away from the trigger. Failure to follow these warnings may cause serious injury or death.

WARNING:

Never try to use force when inserting an 88 g CO

cylinder.

WARNING:

88 g CO

cylinders can explode at temperatures above 50° C (122° F). Do not expose them to heat or store them at temperatures above 50° C (122° F). Never try to use a spent cylinder for any other purpose. Never leave 88 g CO

cylinders in direct sunlight.

CAUTION:

When you pierce the 88 g CO

cylinder, make sure that the safety is on, the airgun is unloaded and the muzzle is pointing in a safe direction.

CAUTION:

Keep your face and hands a safe distance from the opening of the 88 g CO

cylinder.

Escaping residual CO

can cause freezing

of skin.

After loading the airgun as described, make sure that the target, backstop and surroundings are safe. Put the safety on fire "OFF SAFE". The

airgun is now ready to shoot. Squeeze the trigger gently but steadily until a shot is released. The airgun will reload automatically after each shot and will be ready to fire again.

NOTE:

• If

the CO2 pressure is too low, the magazine chain will not advance,

preventing further shooting.

• Shooting

without a pellet releases more CO2 than shooting with

one.

Make sure that the safety is "ON SAFE" (see section 2.1 "USING THE SAFETY"). Insert an 88 g CO

cylinder and load the airgun as described. As an experienced and safety-conscious marksman you have of course correctly adjusted your sight.

WARNING:

Always point the barrel in a safe direction. Never aim at people or animals. Always handle the airgun as if it were loaded and ready to fire.

CAUTION:

This is a high-powered airgun, which means you must be especially careful when selecting a target. Choose only targets that cannot be penetrated and whose hard surfaces will not cause pellets to ricochet. Never shoot at water!

WARNING:

Feed jams are dangerous!

WARNING:

If the airgun does not fire, do not assume that the magazine is empty.

WHENEVER THERE IS A FEED JAM, ENGAGE THE SAFETY! MAKE

SURE THAT THE MUZZLE IS POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

A feed jam can have various causes:

A pellet is lodged in the barrel

Engage the safety, remove the magazine and push the pellet out of the barrel using a cleaning brush (cleaning rod) (see Fig. 6).

2. A pellet is lodged between the magazine and the barrel

Decock the gun and engage the safety. Remove the magazine by pulling it down forcefully while pressing the magazine catch. Point the gun in a safe direction and shoot a few times without the magazine. This should release the diabolo. If the gun remains jammed, push the diabolo back through the muzzle using a cleaning brush. Check whether the diabolos are loaded correctly in the magazine. Reload your gun as described in 5.1.

SPECIAL FACTORS RELATED TO CO

2.9

Sometimes the performance of a CO2-powered air gun is adversely affected by special factors. An example is when the airgun is used, kept or stored at temperatures well above or below the normal outdoor temperatures (15-21° C; 59-70° F).

High temperatures can create a pressure in the 88 g CO

cylinder and the airgun itself which considerably exceeds the normal operating pressure. Such overpressure can prevent the release of a shot and cause permanent damage. This airgun should not be stored or used at temperatures above 50° C (122° F).

Do not use the airgun with an 88 g CO

cylinder that has already

lost a lot of pressure.

Signs

of insufficient pressure in a cylinder include the following:

A) The chain magazine does not advance (there is no shot). B) The shot is not as loud as with a full cylinder. C) The projectiles hit the target lower than they do when the cylinder is

full (i.e., they have a lower velocity).

CAUTION:

Shooting with insufficient pressure can cause a pellet to lodge in the barrel. See the instructions on feed jams.

too high too low correct

Fig. 7.cFig. 7.b

Aim at a safe target. Hold the gun in such a way that the rear sight and front sight can be seen at the same time. The front sight must be right in the middle of the hole in the rear sight. Now point the airgun so that the lower edge of the bull's eye rests on the front sight. The centre of the rear sight, the top of the front sight and the lower edge of the bull's eye must be in a line (Fig. 7.a, view through sight). Adjustment of the impact point is described below. The airgun is zeroed at a distance of 10 m at the factory.

Elevation is corrected at the front sight. To adjust the height of the front sight, turn the screw on the right side of the stock (Fig. 7.b).:

STORAGE

2.12

Always store your airgun unloaded and with the safety engaged “ON SAFE”. Make sure that the magazine is empty. Keep the airgun out of reach

of children and persons who aren't familiar with it. Store pellets

and 88 g CO

cylinders in a separate location.

CAUTION:

Never leave a loaded airgun unattended!

CARE

WARNING:

Do not perform any care, cleaning, or maintenance to the airgun until you have put on the safety, decocked the airgun and taken out the 88 g CO

cylinder. Remove the magazine and make sure that the airgun is unloaded.

you take good care of your airgun and handle it properly, it will give

you years of pleasure.

After each shooting session run a lightly oiled cloth over all gun metal. RWS Spring Cylinder Oil works great for this application.

At 100 shot intervals clean barrel with RWS felt cleaning pellets. Push cleaning pellets through barrel from muzzle end. Repeat process until felt pellets appear clean.

At 1000 shot intervals clean the air rifle bore with RWS Bore Cleaner & Degreaser. Apply this solution to a clean patch and pass through barrel from the muzzle end. Then, use a bore brush with nylon bristles to further loosen up remaining deposits of lead and debris. After this process, once again utilize the bore cleaner solution on clean patches until they appear clean upon exiting barrel.
