	1. Prepare Your Cleaning Tools Having a separate cleaning/loading rod is convenient and time saving. The Retriever attaches to a 10-32 female-threaded cleaning rod. The other rod should be fitted with a cleaning jag for patching and for loading.
	2. Moisten The Patch Moisten a cleaning patch with a few drops of non-petroleum black powder solvent, and squeeze out the excess liquid. For best results use the correct size patch, square or round made of cotton flannel.
	3. Run The Patch Down The Barrel Centering the patch over the muzzle, use the cleaning rod with the jag and push patch to the bottom of the barrel.
	4. Pull Out The Patch Pull the jag and patch to the top and remove from the rifle barrel.
	5. Align The Retriever's Lower Guide With the Retriever and guide bushing attached, use the cleaning rod to align the tools lower guide into the rifle bore. At this time look at the rifling grooves in the barrel. Pick a location on the muzzle, which will be close to a groove. This will help key in the brass-cleaning blade.
	6. Align The Retriever With The Grooves Rotate the upper guide until the blade aligns with the rifling grooves. This can be achieved by moving the cleaning rod up and down slightly while turning the tool. Or simply grasp the Retriever with your fingers and align it with the rifling grooves.
	7. Gently Drop The Retriever Into The Bore When the blade aligns with the grooves, light pressure will allow the tool to drop into the bore. The weight of the cleaning rod is sufficient pressure, never force the tool. Push tool downward and position the guide bushing at the muzzle.
	8. Move The Retriever Up And Down The Barrel While holding the guide bushing in place, move the Retriever top to bottom in the barrel 2 to 3 times. By holding the guide bushing in place, the tool is centered and prevented from accidental removal when pulled to the top.
	9. Pull The Retriever Out Of The Barrel Pull the tool to the top of the barrel. Release the hold on the guide bushing and pull the Retriever from the barrel Look at the Retriever to see the residue removed from the rifling and collected in the machined grooves of the tool, located on each side of the brass blade.
	10. Clean The Retriever Any standard toothbrush can be used to remove the powder, plastic and lead residue that has been removed and retrieved from the rifle.
