Operating Instructions
The Big Cat DB-2 features a pump-action mechanism to fire two darts consecutively.
- Prime the Blaster: Hold the blaster firmly. Pull the pump handle located under the barrels all the way back until it clicks, then push it all the way forward until it clicks again. This action primes the blaster.
- Aim: Point the blaster at your target, ensuring no one is in the line of fire. Remember to wear eyewear.
- Fire: Pull the trigger to fire the first dart.
- Fire Second Dart: To fire the second dart, pull the trigger again. No re-priming is needed between the first and second dart.
- Reload: After firing both darts, reload the barrels as described in the "Setup" section to continue use.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your blaster.
- Cleaning: Wipe the blaster with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not submerge the blaster in water or use harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the blaster and darts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Darts: Inspect darts regularly for damage. Discard bent or torn darts as they may affect performance or jam the blaster.
