MAINTENANCE Before doing any maintenance on your airgun, make sure it’s unloaded. Lubricate the air compression chamber with a high-flashpoint oil designed specifically for use inside an air compression chamber. Lubricate the piston seal through the air transfer port, located on the inside bottom of the barrel breech when the magazine has been removed from the IZH 61 or when the bolt has been pulled back on the IZH 60. Oil the airgun (3 to 5 drops) after every 2,000 shots. Also, lightly oil the cocking arm linkage and bolt pivot points with machine oil every six months. Do not use firearm cleaners or low-flashpoint oils in the air compression chamber or near the transfer port and breech seal to avoid damaging your airgun. To lubricate the mainspring, remove the stock. Turn over the action and apply 6 to 10 drops of a light oil onto the spring. Reattach the stock. Oil your gun every 2,000 to 3,000 shots or every six (6) months. Don’t use too much oil. Using too little is better than too much.
