OPERATIng the Safety The Ruger Air Hawk and Blackhawk Air Rifles have an automatic safety. When the airgun is cocked it is automatically put "ON SAFE". The Ruger Air Hawk and Blackhawk Air Rifles have the safety as shown in illustration 2. This air rifle is automatically put "ON SAFE" when it is cocked. To put "OFF SAFE", push the safety lever SAFETY "ON" (`S' is showing) SAFETY "OFF" (`S' is not showing) forward. The Air Hawk can be put back "ON SAFE" by pulling the safety rearward. Fig. 2a Fig. 2b illustration 2 ATTENTION: Before you put your air rifle "OFF SAFE", be absolutely certain that your air rifle is pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION and that you are ready to fire. Once your air rifle is cocked and automatically "on safe", do not recock the air rifle While it is loaded to put it back "on safe". see "step 1. operating the safety" for instruction on how to put the AIR HAWK back "on safe". Step 2. Cocking your air rifle WARNING: When cocking the air rifle do not place your hand over or in front of the muzzle. never allow the muzzle to point toward you or anyone else during cocking. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. With one hand grasp stock firmly behind trigger guard, avoiding contact with the trigger, and brace the butt end of the stock against your thigh. Grasp the barrel near the muzzle end, just behind the front sight. Pull downward and to the rear until it comes to a solid stop. You will hear a click indicating that the spring piston has been locked into position (see illustration 3). Step 3. loading your air rifle Insert a .177 caliber lead pellet carefully into the chamber of the breech end which is exposed when you cock the air rifle (see illustration 4). Be sure to seat the pellet flush with the breech. Avoid damaging the pellet skirt. illustration 3 illustration 4 WARNING: NEVER CARRY YOUR AIR RIFLE WHILE COCKED AND/OR WHILE LOADED. IT IS BEST TO COCK THE AIR RIFLE ONLY BEFORE SHOOTING. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOUR AIR RIFLE BE CARRIED COCKED AND LOADED. Step 4. Closing the barreL Firmly grasp the barrel behind the front sight, return the barrel to its original closed and latched position. CAUTION: Be careful to keep fingers clear of cocPPIOkNICNiHTng mechanism (see "Pinch Points", illustration 5). Grasp the barrel firmly as you cock it and close it to prevent it from snapping back and possibly causing injury. Step 5. Aim at a safe target PINCH POINT Always aim your air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always choose your target carefully. It is best to shoot at a paper bullseye target which is attacheilldusttraotioan 5 safe backstop. A heavy blanket should be hung behind the target backstop to prevent ricochet should you miss the backstop. Think about what you will hit if you miss the target. The RUGER AIR HAWK and Blackhawk air rifles have open sights. Air rifles with this type of sight are correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned exactly in the notch of the rear sight. The top of the front sight blade should be even with the top of the notch in the rear sight. The bullseye should appear to rest on the top of the front sight (see illustration 6). Too High Too Low Perfect illustration 6 CAUTION: Your backstop should be inspected for wear before and after each use. Discontinue use if the backstop surface shows signs of failure. Always place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail. Discontinue the use of a backstop if the projectile rebounds or ricochets. Step 6. Put "off Safe" When you are absolutely sure your air rifle is aimed at a safe target and you are ready to fire, put your air rifle "OFF SAFE" (see Step 1. Operating the Safety). Step 7. Firing your air rifle Squeeze the trigger. CAUTION: Do not fire with the barrel open. this may result in INJURY, a bent barrel, and/or cracked stock and will void your warranty. WARNING: If a pellet does not fire after completing the operation steps, the airgun may be jammed. An unfired projectile in the barrel can be a dangerous situation. Keep the airgun pointed in a safe direction and repeat all operation steps except Step 3. If a projectile still does not fire, do the following: 1. Put in "ON SAFE" position (see illustration 2). 2. Cock the airgun and leave the barrel open with the safety in the "ON SAFE" position. 3. Clear barrel by inserting a cleaning rod through the muzzle end. 4. Repeat operation steps. Unloading a pellet Fire the pellet at a SAFE TARGET to unload the airgun. If this is not practical, put the air rifle "ON SAFE", cock the airgun to open the barrel, and push the pellet from the chamber by running a cleaning rod through the muzzle end. Insert an RWS Cleaning Pellet and discharge into a safe target. REMOVING A JAMMED PELLET If a pellet is jammed in the barrel, DO NOT reload the air rifle. 1. Cock the air rifle (see Step 2. Cocking Your Air Rifle), point the air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION, put the air rifle in the "OFF SAFE" position and squeeze the trigger to fire. 2. Break the barrel open slightly (without pulling the barrel all the way down to the point that it cocks) and look down the breech to see if the air rifle is jammed (see illustration 7). NEVER LOOK DOWN THE MUZZLE. Breech Ramrod 3. If the air rifle is still jammed, insert a .177 caliber ramrod into the muzzle and push the jammed pellet out. Do not try to reuse that pellet. If you are not able to unjam your air rifle, contact Umarex USA's Service Department. Muzzle illustration 7 CAUTION: Do not attempt to reuse fired pellets or pellets which are deformed. Projectiles such as steel shot (BBs) and darts may damage your air rifle and cause injury to yourself or bystanders due to ricocheting. adjusting the sights The Ruger Air Hawk and Blackhawk Air Rifles are equipped with adjustable rear sights, with vertical and horizontal adjustments. Elevation Settings--If the rifle shoots high: turn the top wheel(1) clockwise (see illustration 8). If the rifle shoots low: turn the wheel counterclockwise. Windage Settings--Windage settings are controlled by turning the knob(2) on the side (see illustration 8). If the air rifle shoots to the right: adjust clockwise. If it shoots to the left: adjust counterclockwise. adjusting the TRIGGER Ruger Air Rifles are equipped with two stage adjustable triggers. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the length of the first stage travel. Or turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise to increase the length of the first stage travel (see illustration 9). The adjustment does not change the pull weight. illustration 8 Storing your air rifle NEVER STORE A LOADED OR COCKED AIRGUN. Unload pellet from the airgun. Keep air rifle away from children and untrained shooters. Store pellets separately from the air rifle to keep them from untrained shooters. Protect your air rifle from moisture and dirt; clean airgun and wrap it in a smooth, dry cloth. If you are Adjustment screw illustration 9 going to store your airgun for an extended length of time be sure the barrel is protected. This can be accomplished by coating the bore with RWS Spring Cylinder Oil. Always use a soft cloth and insert the cleaning rod from the breech end on break barrel rifles. Remove the oil completely before the next use. REMEMBER: Always check to see that the airgun is unloaded when getting from storage or from another person. DO NOT MODIFY YOUR AIR RIFLE CAUTION: The components of your airgun were engineered and manufactured to deliver optimum performance. Any modification or tampering with your airgun may cause a malfunction, will void your warranty, and may make it unsafe to use. Any change in performance (such as a lowered trigger pull force and shortened trigger travel), indicates possible modification, tampering, and/or wear. Such airgun should be inspected, replaced, or properly repaired by only qualified Umarex USA personnel. Any airgun that has been dropped should be checked by qualified personnel to ensure that its function has not been affected. Ammunition Your Ruger Air Rifle is designed to fire caliber .177 lead pellets only. We recommend the use of RWS Pellets because of their superb accuracy and dimensional uniformity. The correct caliber is clearly stamped on the barrel near the breech block or on the breech block. never dry fire YOUR AIR RIFLE If the air rifle is fired without a lead pellet or RWS Cleaning Pellet in the breech, it will cause the piston to bottom out in the cylinder which can permanently damage the air rifle. WARNING: AN AIRGUN THAT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY BE DANGEROUS. IT SHOULD BE KEPT SAFELY FROM USE BY ANYONE UNTIL REPAIRED OR DESTROYED. DO NOT TRY TO TAKE THE AIRGUN APART. IT IS DIFFICULT TO REASSEMBLE AND IMPROPER DISASSEMBLY OR REASSEMBLY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. care and maintenance CAUTION: Before any care, cleaning, or maintenance, always be sure your air rifle is "ON SAFE" and unloaded. Keep it pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION. It is important to maintain your airgun properly. WORKING PARTS: The working parts (piston and mainspring) require very little lubrication. Two(2) drops of RWS Air Chamber Lube every 1000 shots will suffice. It is easily applied through the compression chamber port with a 3 1/2" applicator needle (see illustration 10). The wearing surfaces at the barrel hinge, the cocking arm, and the trigger mechanism should be lubricated with RWS Spring Cylinder Oil (see illustration 11). Remember, a little is good--a lot is not better. BARREL: In day to day use, very little dirt or residue will accumulate in the bore. This can be removed by using RWS Cleaning Pellets. Note: High quality RWS Lead Pellets not only increase accuracy, they help to reduce lead deposit. During periods of regular use the bore of the barrel should be cleaned periodically by means of a felt wad or cleaning rod with wool mop. Wire brushes illustration 10 should not be used. Insert rod from breech end. SURFACE: The exposed metal parts (rear sight, receiver, screw heads, sight hood, etc.) are a gun blue finish and MUST be wiped clean using a slightly oiled cloth after handling to prevent rust. Use light acid free and resin free oil. RWS Spring Cylinder Oil is excellent for this. CAUTION: Oils that contain acid or resin can damage the breech seal, compression seal, and possibly the finish of the stock. illustration 11 CAUTION: Check the tightness of the front trigger guard and stock screws between, during, and after shooting activity. Loose screws may cause injury or death. WARNING: lead pellets contain lead, a chemical known to the state of california to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. do not inhale dust or put LEAD pellets in mouth. wash hands after handling.
