KEEp THE AIRGUN IN THE “ON SAFE” pOSITION UNTIL YOU ARE ACTUALLY READY TO SHOOT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUC-
TIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
3. Operating the Safety
The words pUSH FIRE and pUSH SAFE are on the trigger guard. The pUSH FIRE and pUSH SAFE indicate the safety condition
when pressed flush with the trigger guard.
A. To Put the Airgun “ON SAFE”:
• Locate the safety directly in front of the trigger.
• The safety is ON and the airgun is “ON SAFE” when the safety button is pushed from the left to the right (No Red
Showing) (Fig. 3A).
B. To Take the Airgun “OFF SAFE”:
• The safety is in the FIRE or “OFF SAFE” position when the safety button is pushed from the right to the left (Red
Showing) (Fig. 3B).
• When the airgun is in the FIRE or “OFF SAFE” position the airgun can be aimed and the trigger can be pulled and
fired if it is charged (filled) and loaded.
Like all mechanical devices, an airgun safety can fail. Even when the safety is “ON SAFE”, you should continue to handle the airgun safely. NEVER point the airgun at any person. NEVER
point the airgun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
4. Pumping the Airgun
ALWAYS HOLD THE FOREARM FIRMLY WHEN pUMpING THE AIRGUN. FAILURE TO GRIp THE FOREARM FIRMLY WHILE pUMpING THE
AIRGUN MAY CAUSE THE FOREARM TO SpRING BACK INTO THE CLOSED pOSITION AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY.
NEVER pUMp YOUR AIRGUN MORE THAN 10 TIMES. OVER pUMpING MAY LEAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF AIR IN THE AIRGUN AFTER
IT IS FIRED AND MAY ALLOW THE USER TO FIRE A SECOND SHOT WITHOUT ADDITIONAL pUMpING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION: Never pump your airgun more than 10 times. Over pumping can cause major damage to your airgun.
Note: You must follow the procedure described below for pumping, loading and firing your airgun each time you shoot.
• put the airgun “ON SAFE”. (See Step 3A)
• place your hands in the same positions shown in Fig. 4. Improper hand placement may result in pinching if you lose hold of the
forearm and may result in injury.
• Firmly grip the forearm and open it all the way until it stops and then, with a smooth stroke, return the forearm to its original
closed position.
• Do not twist the forearm while pumping, this may cause the forearm to break.
• Make sure to use at least three pumps (but no more than 10) to prevent a pellet from jamming in the barrel after firing.
Reminder: You must follow the procedure described above for pumping, loading and firing your airgun for each shot.
5. Loading and Unloading BBs
Your airgun was designed to work with Crosman branded ammunition. These include CROSMAN, COppERHEAD, and BENJAMIN. Use of other

• Tilt the airgun (barrel downward), pointing in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• pull the bolt all the way back (two clicks) and then slowly forward looking to see if there is a BB on the magnetic bolt.
• If your airgun is not pumped, follow section 3 on pumping your airgun.
• point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION; take “OFF SAFE” (See Step 3B) and fire. This will unload the BB from the magnetic bolt.
• Repeat this unloading procedure until no BBs are visible on the magnetic bolt.
REMEMBER: BBs will not transfer from the magazine to the barrel if the airgun is tilted upward.

• The airgun is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned exactly in the center of the aperture of the rear sight. The top
of the front sight blade should be even with the top of the aperture in the rear sight. The bulls-eye should appear to rest on the top
of the front sight. (Fig. 10) When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, take the airgun
“OFF SAFE” (See section 3B) and pull the trigger to fire.
Note: You must follow the procedure for pumping, loading and firing your airgun each time you shoot.
