LUBRICATION
Your Avanti Elite, model 753,
Competition Pellet Rifle should be
lubricated approximately every 1000
shots. Lubricate the pump piston foam
wiper ring by inverting the gun and
opening the lever fully. You will see “Oil
Here.” Oil the felt wiper which can be seen
through a slot in the pump tube. Add oil,
drop-by-drop, until the wiper appears
saturated.
The pump lever pivot joints should be
lubricated sparingly by adding one or two
drops of oil to each pivot pin (See Drawing
No. 11).
STORAGE
To make your Avanti Elite, model 753, Competition Pellet Rifle safe for storage or transporting,
proceed through operating steps 1 through 8, omitting Step 4 (Loading), WHILE POINTING THE
GUN IN A SAFE DIRECTION WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THESE STEPS! Then put the trigger
safety “ON” (no red showing). This will ensure that the hammer is fired, that no air is stored in the
pump system, that there is not a pellet in the chamber and that the trigger safety is “ON”.
Always store pellets in a place separate from the gun to keep them from untrained shooters.
Before putting your gun away, make sure it is clean, dry, oiled, unloaded and uncocked. If the gun
is to be stored for a long period of time, a light coat of oil in the barrel will help prevent corrosion.
