							CZ 40  -  INSTRUCTION MANUAL 26 TROUBLESHOOTING, CAUSES AND REMEDIES 
 
If your pistol is properly used and maintained, malfunctions will rarely occur. 
However, if such a situation does occur, please observe the following instructions. 
CAUTION - If a malfunction occurs, the possibility of unintentional discharge is 
substantially increased. For this reason, carefully observe the Safety Instructions 
already mentioned above. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction, do not turn 
the pistol against your body or anyone else’s! Do not place your hands in front of 
the barrel! 
If you use your pistol for self-defense, or in law enforcement, please acquire 
so-called dummy cartridges and practice fast clearing of malfunctions as 
described below. 
 
Malfunction Possible Cause Remedy A round has not been 
fed into the chamber or 
the slide has not fully 
locked with the barrel. Magazine is not fully 
inserted or is damaged. 
The pistol or cartridges are 
fouled (dirty) or too heavily 
greased. 
 
The use of unsuitable 
cartridges. Insert magazine properly or 
change magazine. 
Clean the pistol and 
cartridges and wipe them dry 
or as case may be slightly 
lubricate. 
Use only recommended 
ammunition. Misfire Defective cartridge 
 
 
 
Firing pin hole fouled (dirty) 
or unproper lubrication 
agent used under low 
temperature conditions. Pull the trigger again. If 
a discharge is not initiated, 
follow the Safety Instructions 
according to point 18. 
Disassemble and clean the 
firing pin or use a low 
temperature lubricant. A shot sounds weak 
combined with failure to 
eject the cartridge case. The primer has been 
activated but no powder 
load was inside the 
cartridge case. Unload the pistol and check 
that the bullet is not lodged in 
the barrel. A subsequent shot 
could cause damage to the 
barrel. The spent case has not 
been ejected. Cartridge chamber, 
extractor or ammunition 
dirty, or unsuitable lubricant 
in low temperature 
environment. Clean and wipe the pistol dry 
or lubricate lightly with a 
suitable agent. Use new and 
clean ammunition. If you cannot clear away any malfunction in the manner described above, 
entrust the pistol to a competent gunsmith for inspection and repair.
