If the pellet still does not fire, follow these steps carefully:
1. Put trigger safety “ON” (no red showing).
2. Open bolt.
3. Remove CO2 source from the gun, with gun pointed in safe direction.
4. Invert the gun with the barrel held in the horizontal position.
5. Clear barrel by running cleaning rod through from the muzzle end and allow the pellet to fall
clear of the receiver through the feed track. Be careful not to damage the bolt tip by pushing the
rod through too hard. Do not reuse this pellet. Do not allow a pellet to fall into the action of the
gun.
NOTE: Should you let a pellet fall into the action of the gun, make every effort to shake it free
and get it to fall out. Otherwise, the gun will have to be returned to the Daisy Service
department. (See “Repair of Daisy Guns” section.)
6. Repeat operating Steps 1 through 8. If after following the firing procedure, a pellet is not fired,
put safety “ON” (no red showing) and return your gun to the Factory Service Department. (See
“Repair of Daisy Guns” section.)
UNLOAD PELLET
The bolt does not extract a pellet. You must shoot the pellet out if a safe target is available. If a
safe target is not available, put trigger safety “ON” (no red showing), open bolt, invert the gun with
the barrel held horizontal, insert a cleaning rod in the muzzle end and push the pellet out of the
barrel. This allows the pellet to fall clear of the action. Do not allow a pellet to fall into the action of
the gun. DO NOT use a steel cleaning rod. Use brass or aluminum only.
CAUTION: Never assume the gun is empty of projectiles. Always point the gun in a safe
direction.
AMMUNITION
Use only .177 (4.5mm) lead air gun pellets. Daisy No. 557 Match Pellets are recommended.
