TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT
The trigger in this model is adjustable for travel. This is a
Special Purpose Match Precision Gun and is exempt from the 2 lb.
(0.9 kg) minimum trigger pull standard.
The trigger adjusting screw is located behind the trigger guard
(See Drawing No. 11). The adjusting screw can be turned outward
until it has no effect and trigger travel is at the maximum, or it can
be turned inward to shorten the trigger travel. To adjust the trigger
travel in this model, the gun should be kept pointed in a safe
direction, the safety should be at “ON” (no red showing), there
should be no pellet in the gun, and the CO2 source should be
removed from the gun.
CAUTION:
The trigger should be adjusted by an experienced shooter only.
After the trigger has been adjusted the gun should be treated with caution. Shooting coaches
and instructors should make sure that inexperienced shooters use this model with the trigger
adjustment screw backed out to maximum trigger travel.
For target shooting, experienced shooters may find that the best trigger travel setting can be
obtained by [with the safety at “ON” (no red showing), no pellet in the gun, and with the CO2
source removed] carefully turning the adjusting screw inward until slight resistance is felt.
After the trigger has been adjusted, (with the gun pointed in a safe direction, and with no pellet
or CO2 in the gun) it should be dryfired several times, and the safety tried several times to make
sure that the trigger, sear, and safety are all functioning correctly. If the gun does not seem to be
functioning correctly, the adjusting screw should be turned outward 1/2 turn, and the gun tried for
function again.
As the trigger is being adjusted, the shooter should be careful that the adjusting screw is not
forced, because the sear and the safety mechanism can be damaged.
If the shooter has questions about the proper way to adjust the trigger, they can call the Daisy
Customer Service Department for information on doing this.
BURST DISK SAFETY PRESSURE RELIEF
The 2.5 ounce refillable CO2 bottle (cylinder) has a burst disk safety pressure relief on the front
fitting of the bottle (cylinder). The disk will burst, or rupture to safely relieve excess CO2 gas
pressure, to prevent the pressure from becoming too high.
The pressure inside the bottle (cylinder) could become too high from the bottle (cylinder) being
overfilled with CO2, or from the bottle (cylinder) becoming heated by being left in direct sunlight or
from some other source.
The burst disk is a replaceable part, but replacing the disk should be done by trained personnel
only. Ruptured burst disks can be replaced by personnel at stores where these CO2 bottle
(cylinders) are filled.
When a burst disk does rupture to relieve the excess pressure in the CO2 bottle (cylinder), all of
the CO2 in the bottle (cylinder) will escape rapidly from the bottle (cylinder). The rapidly emptying
CO2 bottle (cylinder) will quickly become coated with frost. The shooter should avoid contact with
the escaping CO2 and the frosted bottle (cylinder). If the disk bursts inside an automobile, or in
some other enclosed area, a window or door should be opened to allow the CO2 to dissipate.
