OPERATION MANUAL
MODEL 717 By
SINGLE PUMP PNEUMATIC
.177cal. (4.5mm) LEAD AIRGUN PELLET
WARNING:
NOT A TOY. ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED.
MISUSE OR CARELESS USE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
MAY BE DANGEROUS UP TO 209 YARDS (191 METERS).
THIS IS A HIGH POWER AIR GUN RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY THOSE
16 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING. THE PURCHASER AND USER SHOULD CONFORM TO ALL LAWS
GOVERNING USE AND OWNERSHIP OF AIR GUNS.
WARNING:
THIS GUN CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. DO NOT LOAD A PELLET INTO
THE GUN UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT. IF YOU DO LOAD A PELLET AND
THEN DECIDE NOT TO SHOOT, REMOVE IT EITHER MANUALLY OR BY SHOOTING
THE GUN AT A SAFE TARGET. AN UNLOADED, UNCOCKED GUN IS SAFEST.
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN FAST, AND ACCIDENTALLY INJURING OR KILLING SOMEONE
IS A TERRIBLE THING. PLEASE SHOOT SAFELY.
This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When
you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of personal injury and carefully read
the message that follows.
The PowerLine® Model 717 shoots with much more muzzle energy than the traditional
spring powered airgun. More power means greater chance of serious injury. Use extreme
caution when operating this gun.
Although your new Daisy® is not a firearm, it has lethal potential and should be treated
with caution and respect due any conventional firearm. Always remember, the first and
most important safety feature of any gun is the shooter. All safeties are mechanical devices and the shooter is the only part of the system that can make a gun safe–or unsafe.
DON’T DEPEND ON MECHANICAL SAFETIES–think ahead and avoid situations that
might lead to accidents.
Guns differ in their operations and you are never ready to fire any gun until you are
thoroughly familiar with it. Read the following operating instructions and WITHOUT
LOADING A PROJECTILE, proceed through the operating steps (dry firing your gun several times at a safe target). This will enable you to learn to operate the PowerLine®
Model 717 properly and safely.

OPERATION STEPS
Step 1. Put “ON SAFE” Step 5. CLOSE BOLT
Step 2. OPEN BOLT Step 6. AIM
Step 3. PUMP Step 7. Take “OFF SAFE”
Step 4. LOAD Step 8. FIRE
Step 1. Put “ON SAFE”
Push trigger safety from left to right until no red is showing. In this position, the pistol (in
proper working condition) cannot be fired by pulling the trigger.
CAUTION: Even when the safety is
“ON SAFE” you should continue to
FIG. 2
handle the pistol safely. Don’t point the gun
at anything that you don’t intend to shoot.
NOTE: The safety is not automatic. It will
only do its job when you do yours. With the
index finger out of the trigger area, move
the safety lever to the “ON SAFE” position.
REMEMBER, THE BEST SAFETY IS
GOOD GUN HANDLING.
Step 2. OPEN BOLT
Lift up and pull straight back on the bolt
handle. The gun cannot fire with the bolt
open. NOTE: BOLT MUST BE OPEN TO
PUMP-UP GUN.
Step 3. PUMP
With the bolt open, pump gun only once.
Any additional pumping will not increase
velocity. Be careful to keep fingers out of
pumping mechanism when closing the
pump lever. (See PINCH POINTS in Fig. 2)
Trigger finger should be extended
against the right side of the gun to
react against lever closing force.
FIG. 3
WARNING: After gun has been
pumped up one, do not attempt to pump
again or open pump lever as the lever
is under pressure and could fly open,
possible causing injury.
Step 4. LOAD
With the bolt open, load one pellet (solid
BOLT HANDLE
end forward) into the feed track. (Fig 3)
Step 5. CLOSE BOLT
Push the bolt fully forward, then push bolt handle down. The gun is now ready to fire.
CAUTION: It is very important that the bolt be completely closed. Never close the bolt
while the trigger is being pulled.
If the gun does not fire when the trigger is pulled, open the bolt by pulling the bolt handle
all the way back and put “ON SAFE” immediately, then close the bolt completely and
continue to Step 6.

When pumping, pull lever as far forward as possible, then with curved
end of lever in open palm, close
lever in fast continuous motion.

release valve may be damaged and cause a
permanent leak.
WARNING: If a pellet does not fire after completing the operating steps, the gun is
jammed. This is a dangerous condition.
OPEN THE BOLT AT ONCE, THEN REPEAT ALL OPERATIONS EXCEPT STEP 4 (DO
NOT LOAD A PELLET). IF A PELLET STILL DOES NOT FIRE, FOLLOW THESE STEPS
CAREFULLY:
Step 1. Open bolt.
Step 2. Put trigger safety “ON SAFE”
Step 3. Clear the barrel by running a size .177 cleaning rod through the barrel from
the muzzle end. Be careful not to damage the bolt tip by pushing the rod
through too hard.
Step 4. Repeat the operating steps. Make sure a pellet is fed into the firing
position. If after following the firing procedure the pellet is not fired, return
your gun to the Daisy Service Department. (See “REPAIR OF GUN” section).
UNLOAD PELLETS
The bolt does not extract a pellet. Point the gun in a safe direction and fire, or open the
bolt and insert a .177 cleaning rod in the muzzle
end of the barrel and push the pellet out.
REAR SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ELEVATION: (Fig. 5) (Up or down) To move the
point of impact up, raise the sight by turning the elevation screw “A” counterclockwise. To lower the
point of impact, lower the sight by turning the elevation screw “A” clockwise. At a range of 10 meters,
one click will move the point of impact .077 inch.
WINDAGE: (Fig. 5) (Right or left) To move the
point of impact left, move the sight left by turning
screw “B” counterclockwise. To move the sight to
the right, turn screw “B” clockwise. At a range of 10
meters, one click will move the point of impact .054

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 nondetergent 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.

BARREL:
The barrel must be clean and dry to attain maximum accuracy. Run clean, dry patches
through the barrel until all foreign material is removed. It may be necessary to clean the
barrel approximately every 50 shots to achieve maximum accuracy. Frequent cleaning
may be necessary when the gun is new until all excess oil is removed from the pump
system. If the gun is to be stored for a period of time, a light coat of oil in the barrel will
help prevent corrosion.

AMMUNITION
Precision MaxTM Pellets are recommended for use in the PowerLine® Model 717. These
pellets are uniform in size with minimal weight variations. The flat wad-cutting designed
head will punch a clean hole to provide for easier and more accurate scoring. The design
of the Precision MaxTM Pellet is engineered to produce maximum accuracy in all
air rifles and pistols.

STORAGE
NEVER STORE A LOADED OR COCKED GUN. Shoot the gun at a safe target to make
sure the pump system and barrel are empty. Place the trigger safety in the “ON SAFE”
position. Keep the gun away from children and untrained shooters. Store pellets
separately from the gun to keep them from untrained shooters. Protect your PowerLine®
Model 717 from moisture and dirt; clean and lightly oil the gun to prevent corrosion and
