Daisy PowerLine 901 - Manual (Page 3)

We recommend the following number of pumps for differ-
ent shooting conditions.
• For indoor shooting, 2 pumps
• For 10-meter (33-ft.) distance, 4 to 6 pumps.
• For longer distances, 7 to 10 pumps.
NOTE: Do not pump more than 10 times. Over pumping may
cause serious damage to the gun.
Step 4. LOAD
FILLING THE BB MAGAZINE:
The loading
door is located
on the left side
of the receiver
(Figure 5).
Push the door
down and tilt
gun with muz-
zle end down.
Fill magazine
with approxi-
mately 50 BBs.
Do not overfill
or the feed system may not operate properly.
LOADING BBs:
With the bolt handle back and BBs in the magazine (See
“FILLING THE BB MAGAZINE” above), RAISE the muzzle of
the gun 45 degrees to 90 degrees. When raising the muzzle,
be sure the front sight is pointed upward since the gun may
not feed properly if it is on its side (Figure 6). A BB can be
seen on the magnetic tip by looking into the loading port
(Figure 7). If a BB does not feed onto the magnetic tip when
the muzzle is raised, shake the gun slightly until you see a BB
in the loading port. Push bolt handle fully forward and the BB
is in firing position.
CAUTION:
Always view the BB or Pellet when
closing the bolt and loading port.
WARNING:
BBs feed from the magazine by gravi-
ty which requires that the muzzle be raised. NEVER ASSUME
THE MAGAZINE OR CHAMBER IS EMPTY even if the gun
does not fire a projectile one or more times.
LOADING PELLETS:
With the bolt back and BBs removed from the magazine
(See “TO EMPTY MAGAZINE,” Page 6), advance the bolt for-
ward until the magnetic tip is visibly even with the rear edge
of the pellet loading port; lower the muzzle and load a pellet,
solid end forward (Figure 8). Push the bolt handle fully for-
ward and the pellet is chambered in the firing position.
IMPORTANT:
Do not allow a pellet to fall into the rear of the loading port
and become jammed in the BB feed hole. If this occurs, have
a qualified gunsmith remove the left receiver and clear the
loading port or return gun to Daisy.
IMPORTANT:
Care must be exercised when shooting pellets while the
magazine contains BBs. Loading a BB and pellet at the same
time may result in a jammed or obstructed barrel.
Step 5. CLOSE BOLT
Close bolt by pushing fully forward on bolt handle to cham-
ber either a BB or pellet and lock the bolt.
CAUTION:
The gun is now loaded and ready to fire.
Step 6. AIM AT SAFE TARGET
Aim the gun at a safe target. To be a consistent marksman, use
the correct sight picture each time you fire your gun (Figure 9).
Never point a gun, loaded or unloaded, at anyone.
CAUTION:
Due to the power of this air gun, use extra
caution in selecting a safe target backstop. This gun should not
be used with BB gun target backstops. Pick targets that cannot
be penetrated or that will not cause ricochet because of their
hard surface. Use only targets and traps that are designed for
use with high power air guns. Do not shoot at water.
Step 7. TAKE “OFF” TRIGGER SAFETY
(“PUSH FIRE”)
When you are certain the target, backstop and surrounding
area is safe, take trigger safety “OFF” by pushing from right to
left so that red is exposed (See Figure 3) (“PUSH FIRE”). Your
gun is now cocked and ready to shoot. In this condition, it
should be handled with extreme care.
Step 8. FIRE
After making sure the gun is pointed in a safe direction,
gently (but firmly) squeeze the trigger. Repeat Steps 1 through
8 to continue shooting, using the appropriate loading proce-
dure. NOTE: To fire, bolt must be completely closed as indi-
cated in Step 5.
CAUTION:
Do not leave your gun pumped for an
extended period of time. Leaving your gun pumped for more
than one hour could result in permanent damage to the air
release valve.
WARNING:
If a BB or pellet does not fire after
completing the operation steps, the gun is jammed. This is a
dangerous condition.
