    							RECOMMENDATIONS 
    1. The rifle must always be on safe during transport. 
    2. Working parts ought to be slightly oiled. It is however 
    Important not to overlubrlcate when the rifle is used m a sandy 
    country. It 1s then better to keep the gun nearly dry. 
    3. Make sure before firing that barrel is clean. 
    4. Make sure that magazine is clean and dry. 
    5. Make sure that magazine is fully home in trigger guard and 
    well engaged by magazine catch. 
    6. Do not mtroduce by hand a cartridge in a hot barrel. 
    7. In case of misfire, wait a few seconds before opening the 
    mechanism. 
    8. Adjustement of gas if necessary is periodically carried out 
    by field armourer, the soldier has not to trouble about it. 
    9. In case of stoppage, open mechanism and hold it open by 
    means of bolt carrier catch. 
    10. After daily firing, remove gas cylinder and clean it as 
    well as piston. Make sure that piston is wel! free in gas cylitrder. 
    11. In order to be ready for immediate firing, the rifle muy 
    be transported with magazine loaded with 10 rounds but with the 
    bolt closed on empty chamber. To open fire, it is just necessary 
    to cock the xxhunism 
    12. Wb the weapon is not firing, protective cover on right 
    side of receiver ought to be pushed forward in order to avoid 
    sand and dust to get into the mechanism.
