WARNING: BE SURE GUN IS ALWAYS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
STEP 1. PUT “ON” TRIGGER SAFETY
Push the trigger safety from left to right (no red
showing). It is a good practice to get into the habit of
always keeping the trigger safety “ON” until actually ready
to fire the gun. (See Drawing No. 1A.)
STEP 2. OPEN BOLT
Pull the bolt handle fully to the rear. Then, release your
hold on the bolt handle, leaving the bolt open. The gun
cannot fire with the bolt open. (See Drawing No. 1B.)
STEP 3. INSTALL CO2
The Model 888 CO2 Pellet Rifle is energized by CO2 only, from a refillable 2.5 ounce removable
CO2 bottle (cylinder) designed for use in this model.
WARNING: Do not attempt to use compressed air, or any gasses other than CO2 in this
model.
WARNING: Do not attempt to use any type of CO2 bottle, cylinder, or fittings that this
model is not designed to use.
A newly purchased Daisy 2.5 ounce refillable CO2 bottle (cylinder) will be empty. It will not have
CO2 in it until it has been filled. These bottles can be filled with CO2 at stores where CO2 paintball
marker cylinders are filled.
INSTALLING THE FILLED 2.5 OUNCE REFILLABLE CO2
BOTTLE (CYLINDER) INTO THE GUN: Coat the threads of
the bottle and the O-ring with 30-weight non-detergent
motor oil.
Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS KEEP THE GUN POINTED IN A
SAFE DIRECTION WHILE INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE
CO2 BOTTLE (CYLINDER).
Insert the threaded fitting end of the CO2 bottle (cylinder)
into the forearm of gun. (See Drawing No. 2A)
