Trigger Adjustments

As per manual:
Trigger weight has been fixed extremely low. Increase of weight is possible only by the exchange of the trigger springs.
Most important advice:
If the trigger or the cocking knobs should fail to engage or if the weapon should double, turn screw no. 1 anticlockwise. At the same time, turn equally screw no. 3 anticlockwise. The screws nos. 2 and 4 have no significance for the shooter, concerning regulation of the trigger, and should not be shifted.
In general, we request that no modifications are made on the trigger system. Our specialists do adjust the triggers.

Loading

Normally, the gun is under pressure and also cocked. The cocking knobs are in the forward position (see illustration).

Insert 5 balls (lead balls, preferably copper plated) .177 caliber into the loading slot of the magazine. Push the lateral knob of the magazine retainer in direction of the muzzle and let the balls roll backwards into the magazine. Then let the spring shutter of the magazine slide back to its stop. The pistol is now ready for shooting. By pressing the trigger one shot will be fired. Be sure to release trigger shoe completely to allow trigger sears to reset.

Function will continue as long as there is CO2 pressure in the pressure chamber. When the liquid CO2 has been used up the rest of the gas escapes, which will be announced by a loud “chattering” noise.
