6 Safety lock
The SAUER SSG 3000 safety system is an
indirect firing pin safety mechanism.
It locks the trigger, the trigger stop, and the firing
pin shoe and thus blocks all safety-relevant
components.
Its function is based on a principle proven a million
times over: A single function – a single button.
– The unlock slide is located within the trigger
guard ahead of the trigger where it is both well
protected and tactile.
– The safety lock is located on the receiver side
behind the bolt handle, where it is both visible
and easy to operate.
6.1 Safety OFF Procedure:
1. Slide the unlock slide 708 up to the stop with
your trigger finger.
– The safety slide 313 slides also upwards
and exposes a visible red warning mark.

Proper functioning and precision of the gun can
only be maintained through regular and expert
care. The gun must be cleaned and protected
against corrosion after each use. The bore must
be cleaned and protected against corrosion after
each firing. Wooden stocks must be treated with a
suitable agent in accordance with the
corresponding instructions and must be protected
against the weather.
For the optimum care for your SSG 3000 we
recommend SAUER care products, e.g. the
SAUER Premium gun grease.
WARNING!
Gun is ready to fire
May lead to death or severe injuries
• There must be no magazine in the gun.

gun. Carefully read the manufacturers note s
and warnings before applying solvents or
cleansers.
Procedure:
1. Unload the gun (see section 5.6).

12.3 External metal surfaces
For the care and preservation of the external metal
and wood surfaces we recommend SAUER
Premium gun grease. Minute spherical Teflon
particles seal the pores of all wood and metal
surfaces and provide perfect protection and
optimal sliding characteristics.
Benefits:
®
• dry surfaces - dust etc. does not adhere;
• water and salt water proof;
• absolute corrosion protection;
• perfect sliding characteristics, reduced wear;
• resistant to sweaty palms;
• pressure resistant up to 57.000 kg/cm

;
• temperature resistant from -50 to +230 °C;
• perfect protection and care for steel and wood;
• neutral smell
CAUTION!
Gun may be damaged
• Caring for the external metal surfaces is
particularly important in wet weather or if the
metal surfaces have come into contact with
sweaty body parts.
• Always wipe dry the gun prior to preservation.
Procedure:
1. Thoroughly clean the gun using suitable cloths
and cleaning agents.
2. Thinly apply the grease with a cloth or sponge
over the whole gun (including the stock)
including all mechanical and moveable parts.
3. After a reaction time of at least 60 minutes
wipe dry and polish the gun with a clean cloth.
4. Dependent on the weather and frequency of
use the protective effect will last between two
to six months.
Note:
• The sling swivel must also be cleaned and
oiled at regular intervals.
