Congratulations, You are the proud owner of a brand-new crossbow!
This manual is a guide for all crossbow owners and a first guide with safety and assembly instructions for crossbows. You should get acquainted with the ways of a crossbow, such as the procedure and handling of a crossbow, beforehand. Serious injury to yourself or others, damage to your crossbow or poor grouping can be avoided by reading this manual. If any part of this manual is unclear to you or if you have any further questions, please contact our support team at info@ballista.co. Please keep this manual for future reference and also note that this is a general instruction manual.
Maintenance
Apply lubricant to the rail of the crossbow regularly. Use the string wax on the exposed string strands to ensure that the string does not dry out and becomes brittle. Keep the rail and trigger assembly clear of obstructions. Inspect the rail and the nocks for metal or plastic burrs to prevent damage to the string damaged. Cams should be greased regularly.
Additional advice
Always keep your crossbow in a safe and dry place. Do not expose your crossbow to extreme humidity or heat, such as inside a hot car or near heat sources. Check cables and/or string for signs of wear and tear. Apply light machine oil regularly to the moving parts of the cams for this compound crossbow.
Never shoot the crossbow without a bolt (arrow)!
Make sure that the bolt is fully inserted, touching the string.
Warranty information
The rail, the trigger mechanism and the limbs have a manufacturer`s warranty of 1 year (unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer). The warranty does not cover cosmetic signs of wear and tear, such as scratches, damage to the paint or similar. The warranty excludes: Strings and, if present , cables, damage caused by abuse, modification or failure to service, consequential damage, incidental damage or incidental expenses including damage to property or personal injuries.
DRY FIRES WILL VOID THE CROSSBOW’S WARRANTY. We also do not accept any liability for damage caused by using too-light plastic, wood or aluminum bolts.
Safety guidelines
This crossbow is equipped with an automatic safety lock that locks every time the crossbow is cocked. The lock must be disengaged prior to each shot. However, this does not guarantee complete safety, as no safety mechanism can replace common sense and safe handling. For this reason, the trigger device should not be operated in the secured state with a bolt inserted. Never attempt to modify the trigger.
Follow these rules at all times
Always keep your fingers below the rail, i.e., out of the way of the cables and the string when shooting the crossbow. NEVER shoot the crossbow without a bolt! Dry fire can damage the limbs, the string and/or the cables and cause personal injury. The crossbow warranty will also be voided. Never shoot the crossbow before you have a safe target. Always use a suitable target. Always use suitable bolts with the nocks recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use a bolt that is too soft or has an unsuitable weight. This can also damage the limbs, the string and/or cables, which will also void the warranty.
Bolts that are too light (less than 140 grains) can have the same effect as dry fires. Check the crossbow and the bolt before each shot. Bent or damaged bolts cannot be shot safely. Likewise, the safety lock of the crossbow should be checked before shooting to prevent unintentional shots.
Mounting the individual parts
The grip
To attach the grip on the Bat, loosen the two flat head screws on the side and the round head screw below the trigger. Then the grip is placed on the Bat and the screws are tightened with an Allen wrench.
The front grip
To attach the front grip to the crossbow, loosen the three round-head screws below the rail. Then, the handle is placed on the Bat and the screws are tightened with an Allen wrench.
The optional fish roll holder
When attaching the fish roll holder, it is important to make sure that only the middle one of the three screws is loosened in order to tighten the fish roll holder. The two outer screws hold the bow unit in place and to avoid injuries, they must not be unscrewed.
Important Assembly Note:
Inside the crossbow body is an internal pulley-assisted cocking system. The length of the screws used to attach the foregrip and stirrup is specifically calculated to avoid interfering with the sled movement during cocking. Therefore, the foregrip and stirrup must be installed.
Do not fully tighten the screws without first installing the foregrip and stirrup. Doing so will obstruct the sled and may damage the cocking mechanism.
