Do Not Tamper With The Assembly Screw On The Rear

Page 28 highlights

c l e a n i n g th e m a g a z i n e It is not recommended that the Double Helix™ magazine be disassembled. Frequently inspect magazines to determine the need for cleaning as lubricant and dirt will gradually collect in the mechanism. NOTICE! Do not tamper with the assembly screw on the rear of the magazine. Doing so will render the magazine inoperative. 1 Clean the magazine by spraying it with a gun cleaning solvent that will not adversely affect the polymer magazine or corrode the metal components. Spray the magazine with this solvent, both inside and out, to loosen debris. 2 Fill the magazine body with plastic-safe gun cleaning solvent. Place your finger over the loading port and shake it vigorously (with the loading port away from you) to loosen residue in the magazine. 3 Drain the solvent and residue from the magazine. 4 Use compressed air to dry the magazine or allow it to air dry. Notice! Do not take your firearm apart beyond what is explained in this owner's manual. This is a specialized, finely fitted mechanism; any attempt to disassemble the inner mechanism may mar it for life. It is unnecessary, and may do damage to the inner mechanism, to disassemble it for routine cleaning and oiling. Of course, misfortunes (such as dropping your gun in water) require appropriate attention, and in such circumstances we recommend you immediately take your firearm to a qualified gunsmith. 26

CLEANING THE MAGAZINE
It is not recommended that the Double Helix
magazine be
disassembled. Frequently inspect magazines to determine the need for
cleaning as lubricant and dirt will gradually collect in the mechanism.
NOTICE!
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE ASSEMBLY SCREW ON THE REAR OF
THE MAGAZINE. DOING SO WILL RENDER THE MAGAZINE INOPERATIVE.
1
Clean the magazine by spraying it with a gun cleaning solvent that
will not adversely affect the polymer magazine or corrode the
metal components. Spray the magazine with this solvent, both
inside and out, to loosen debris.
2
Fill the magazine body with plastic-safe gun cleaning solvent. Place
your finger over the loading port and shake it vigorously (with the
loading port away from you) to loosen residue in the magazine.
3
Drain the solvent and residue from the magazine.
4
Use compressed air to dry the magazine or allow it to air dry.
NOTICE!
DO NOT TAKE YOUR FIREARM APART BEYOND WHAT IS
EXPLAINED IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL. THIS IS A SPECIALIZED, FINELY
FITTED MECHANISM; ANY ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE INNER
MECHANISM MAY MAR IT FOR LIFE. IT IS UNNECESSARY, AND MAY
DO DAMAGE TO THE INNER MECHANISM, TO DISASSEMBLE IT FOR
ROUTINE CLEANING AND OILING. OF COURSE, MISFORTUNES
(SUCH AS DROPPING YOUR GUN IN WATER) REQUIRE APPROPRIATE
ATTENTION, AND IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES WE RECOMMEND YOU
IMMEDIATELY TAKE YOUR FIREARM TO A QUALIFIED GUNSMITH.
