It is extremely important to read and follow the instructions before attempting to use your crossbow. Serious injuries to yourself or others, damage to your crossbow, or poor performance from your crossbow could result from failure to thoroughly read and understand these instructions. [. . . ] See Figure 9 2. ) Place both hands on the string at each side of the crossbow body no more than ½ inch from crossbow body. 3. ) Using even pressure pull the string back until it locks into the trigger mechanism with an audible "click". Be sure to apply downward pressure against flight track. 4. ) Slowly release hand pressure on the string until you Fig. 9 are sure it is locked securely into the trigger mechanism. The crossbow is now cocked with the safety on. Note: The serving on the string has had a line on each side of the flight surface marked at the factory. After cocking the crossbow make sure that the marks on the string are showing equally on each side of the trigger mechanism. Unevenly cocked crossbows will have erratic arrow flight. When restringing your crossbow mark the serving of the string, on each side of the flight track at rest, where the string leaves the flight surface 8 (track) and apply Barnett Lubewax to the string serving and track surface. Arrow Retainer When loaded, the arrow should lie "flat" in the flight grove. The arrow retaining spring should not be twisted to the left or right and should exert only enough pressure on the rear of the arrow to hold it in place. It should not lift the front of the arrow off the flight grove. At this point, the arrow should be lying directly parallel with the flight grove. We recommend the use of Barnett arrows manufactured specifically for your Barnett crossbow. Loading your Crossbow 1. ) Place the arrow forward under the front sight bracket and lay the arrow on the flight surface. When using arrows with half moon nocks, be sure that the odd colored fletch is placed in the flight grove and that the concaved nock is parallel to the string. 2. ) Slide the arrow back under the arrow retaining spring and fully into the trigger mechanism. Note: The arrow retaining spring should only exert enough pressure to hold the arrow in place without lifting it from its position on the flight surface. You may adjust the bolt retainer up or down with needle nose pliers if the bolt retainer is to tight or to loose. Firing your Crossbow To fire the arrow from your crossbow: 1. ) Point the crossbow in a safe direction. 2. ) Slide the safety forward to the off position. [. . . ] Lube wax should also be applied anywhere the cables make contact with the Teflon tape or flight track every 20 ­ 30 shots. To extend the life of your cables it is important to apply ARCHERY STRING WAX to all areas of the cables and string every 30 - 50 shots or when white fuzz begins to appear. If the crossbow has been exposed to excessive moisture you may need to apply wax sooner. PRIOR TO EVERY SHOOTING SESSION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A COMPLETE CHECK OF CABLES, WHEELS, SCREWS AND ARROWS BE MADE. [. . . ]
