Bear Archery F-Series Crossbow 2004 - Manual (Page 7)

3. With the String Hooks positioned at opposite ends of the rope next to each of the handles, center the
Rope Cocking Unit over the Stock in the area between the Cheek Rest and the Sight Mount Bracket,
making sure that the rope is behind the lip on the stock and that it hangs evenly on both sides.
Figure 6B.
4. Clip each of the String Hooks onto the crossbow’s string approximately 1/2” away from the Main
Frame. The rope should run parallel to the Main Frame. Grasp each Handle on the Rope Cocking
Unit with the ends of the strings between your index and middle fingers.
5. Stand straight up until you hear an audible click in the trigger housing. The string is now locked into
the shooting position. After the string is drawn into position, relax string tension slightly to ensure the
string latch holds securely. If the string is not held securely, pull back again until you hear the click in
the trigger housing. Figure 6B.
WARNING! MAKE SURE THAT YOUR STRING
IS CENTERED WHEN COCKED. UNCENTERED
STRINGS MAY CAUSE ERRATIC ARROW FLIGHT
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY TO THE SHOOTER
OR OTHERS.
Loading your F-Series Crossbow
1. Make sure that the Safety Switch is in the “Safe” position.
2. Insert a proper crossbow arrow onto the Flight Deck with the index vane facing down and into
the track.
3. Slide the arrow toward the trigger assembly and under the arrow spring arm, until the end cap touches
the string. When loaded the arrow should lie flat in the flight track. The arrow spring arm should not be
twisted left or right, and should be resting on the arrow between the two vanes that are visible above
the flight deck. The arrow should not be lifting at the front when loaded correctly. Your F-Series
Crossbow is now loaded and must be handled with extreme caution. Do not point your crossbow at
anything other than that which you intend to shoot.
