OPERATION
6A. Firing Safely
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to
protect your eyes.
• The Umarex EBOS comes with three different Fire Selections:
single-fire, 4-shot burst or 8-shot burst. (illustration 11)
• The Umarex EBOS also features a Rate of Fire Selector:
300, 400, or 500 shots per minute. (illustration 12)
• Always aim your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of
your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, take
“OFF SAFE” (See Step 2B) and squeeze the trigger to fire.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or the surface of water. Projectiles may
bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or something you had not
intended to hit.
• Do not shoot at fragile surfaces such as glass or mirrors.
• Always choose your target carefully. Only targets which cannot be completely
penetrated or which will not cause ricochets should be used.
• Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. Replace
your backstop if the surface is worn or damaged, or if a ricochet occurs.
6. Firing Safely and Aiming
NOTE: Many factors affect airgun performance and velocity, including brand
of projectile, lubrication, barrel condition and temperature.

WARNING:
NEVER ASSUME THAT BECAUSE THE AIRGUN NO LONGER FIRES
A PROJECTILE THAT A PROJECTILE IS NOT LODGED IN THE BARREL. ALWAYS TREAT
THE AIRGUN AS THOUGH IT IS LOADED AND WITH THE SAME RESPECT YOU WOULD A
FIREARM.
NOTE: The airgun must be charged with CO
2
when following these steps but
remember, do not store your airgun with a CO
2
capsule in it (See Step 4A).
IMPORTANT: Firing the airgun with too little gas pressure left may cause a BB to
get stuck in the barrel.
NOTE: Only use flawless steel BBs: .177 caliber (4,5 mm). NOTE: Warranty
expires if non-recommended BBs are used.
5C. Removing a Jammed BB
• Make sure the airgun is “ON SAFE” (See Step 2A).
• Remove the CO
2
capsule.
• Unload all of the BBs (See Step 5B).
• Insert a .177 caliber ramrod into the muzzle end of the barrel and
carefully push the jammed BB into the breech. The barrel could be
damaged and the warranty will be void if the proper sized ramrod is
not used.
• Next, point in a SAFE direction and fire the airgun.
• If you are not able to unjam your airgun by following this procedure,
take no further action. Call Umarex USA (479)-646-4210 and ask for the
service department.
USE ONLY .177 CALIBER (4,5 MM) STEEL BBS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REUSE BBS THAT
HAVE BEEN FIRED OR ARE DEFORMED. DO NOT USE BUCK SHOT, DARTS, BALL
BEARINGS, OR OTHER FOREIGN OBJECTS BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE INJURY TO
YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE OR MAY DAMAGE AND/OR JAM THE AIRGUN.
