WARNING, READ BEFORE USING:
Tighten the Rapid Rod™ with sufficient tension to straighten the rod. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Over tightening will not increase the rigidity of the rod, but may damage internal parts. We have included with your rod a soft .22 cal. slotted patch tip. This tip should be replaced with the appropriate jag or slotted tip in the correct caliber or gauge for your weapon before going to the field. The .22 cal. patch tip included was intentionally chosen to be extremely soft and non damaging to gun bores. The patch tip is expendable. Care must be taken not to force or cross thread fittings into the threaded female end of the rod. The use of plastic fittings is recommended.

FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS

Fold your Rapid Rod™; Carefully!

Forcing a section to fold under tension will damage the cable and the joints.

Cable slack must be used equally at each fold.

Fold one section at a time starting at handle.

Pull extra cable out of each fold before making the next fold.

PROPER USE:

Before loading any weapon inspect the bore to ensure that it is clear of any obstructions. To remove obstructions always insert the rod from the breech, if possible, to drive the dirt and moisture out and avoid damage to the working parts of the breech or the crown of the muzzle.

With Semi-auto or lever actions and whenever you can only enter the barrel from the muzzle you must hold the Rapid Rod™ close to the end entering the muzzle and guide the rod into the bore, insuring that the rod is inserted straight in line with the barrel. This avoids damage to the crown of the muzzle and prevents bending the Rapid Rod. When pushing on the rod, grip it as close to where it enters the barrel as possible to avoid bending. Excessive bending of the rod may damage the shoulders of the connecting joints. In the event of a lodged bullet from a misfire; We recommend you enlist the aid of a qualified gun smith to avoid any damage to the lands or grooves.
