Unloading Pellets

Put the air pistol "On Safe."
Open the barrel.
Remove the pellet clip. Using a ramrod, gently push each pellet out of the pellet chamber. IMPORTANT: Never use sharp metal tools to remove pellets.
Check to make sure the barrel is completely unloaded by pointing the muzzle toward an object with a light background and looking through the breech. If there is a pellet in the barrel, push the pellet out of the muzzle end of the barrel using a ramrod of the proper size.
Replace the empty pellet clip (ratchet teeth facing the frong) on the barrel (See Fig. 6).
Close the air pistol by pushing downward of the barrel until it locks into place. (Be careful not to pinch your hand or fingers.)
