KEEP WEAPON POINTED TOWARD TARGET. CHECK BACKBLAST AREA.

l Cock the launcher (Step 4, fig. 14-31) by unfolding the cocking lever with your right hand. Place your thumb under the cocking lever and, with the support of your fingers in front of the firing mechanism, push the cocking lever forward and then downward to the right. Let the cocking lever slide back

CAUTION

DO NOT REFOLD THE COCKING LEVER. THIS WILL INTERFERE WITH THE FUNCTION OF THE FIRING MECHANISM.

. Press the shoulder stop against your shoulder (fig. 14-32). For added stability, grasp the carrying sling near the muzzle with your left hand and pull back on the carrying sling until the shoulder stop is snug against your shoulder.

l Adjust the rear sight (fig. 14-33). When uncovered, the rear sight is preset on 200 meters, which is the battle-sight setting. During target engagement for targets more than 200 meters, a sight adjustment is necessary; for targets less than 200 meters, no adjustment is necessary. The sight is adjustable below 200 meters; however, because of the flight dynamics of the projectile, adjusting the range setting does not increase the hit probability for targets less than 200 meters.

l Using the index and middle fingers of your right hand, press the forward safety all the way to the left and hold it. At the same time, pull the launcher into your shoulder with your left hand, keeping your right hand against the forward edge of the firing mechanism housing for firing stability.

l To fire the launcher, press the red trigger button by gently applying pressure straightforward with the tip of your right thumb in a steady, smooth movement. When the launcher is prepared for firing but is not fired, it is taken out of operation as follows: . Release the forward safety.

. Return the cocking lever to the SAFE, uncocked position by reversing the procedures for cocking, and then fold the cocking lever down.

. Remove the launcher from your shoulder. Keep it pointed toward the target.

. Reinsert the transport safety pin all the way into the pinhole.

l Return the rear sight to the battle-sight setting of 200 meters; fold down the front and rear sight; close the sight covers.

CAUTION

REAR SIGHT MAY BE DAMAGED IF IT IS NOT RETURNED TO THE BATTLE-SIGHT SETTING (200 METERS) BEFORE CLOSING THE SIGHT COVER

l Refold the shoulder stop and snap it back into position; sling the launcher over either shoulder with the forward (muzzle) end down.
