•When you are finished with the cheek
piece and/or the horizontal but pad
adjustments tighten the clamp screws.
• BUTT PAD- Vertical: Loosen the
butt pad screw using a 5/32 Allen head
wrench. Slide the butt pad up or down to
desired position.
•A butt pad locking pin has been provided
to comply with some competition
regulations that prohibit vertical butt pad
adjustment. A viewing port has also been
provided to allow for visual verification of
the use of the butt pad locking pin. The
locking pin is stored inside the butt pad.
To locate the locking pin on the inside of
the butt pad, the pad must be removed.
• TO LOCK THE BUTT PAD: (See fig 9B)
Remove the butt pad to locate the pin underneath. Remove the pin, and insert in the top hole of the butt. Replace the
butt pad. Insert and tighten the butt pad screw.
7. Aiming and Firing Safely
A. Aiming the Airgun
•Always point your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
•Follow the instructions for filling the air gun (section 3A) and loading pellets (section 5.
•You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
•Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or
something you had not intended to hit.
•Always choose your target carefully. It is best to shoot at paper bull’s-eye targets which are attached to a safe back-
stop. A heavy blanket should be hung behind the backstop to prevent ricochet should you miss the backstop.
•Your airgun is designed for target shooting and is suited for both indoor and outdoor use. Always remember to place
your target carefully. THINK about what you will hit if you miss the target.
•Before firing the air gun make certain there is sufficient pressure for proper operation. The gauge needle should be
pointing to an area in the green zone on the gauge.
8. Removing a Jammed Pellet
A jammed pellet is usually the result of trying to fire the airgun when the pressure is too low. Before firing the airgun make
certain there is sufficient pressure for proper operation. The gauge needle should be pointing to an area in the green zone on
the gauge.
IN THIS PROCEDURE YOU WILL PUT A CLEANING ROD DOWN THE BARREL OF A CHARGED AIRGUN. IT IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT THAT WHILE YOU ARE DOING THIS THE AIRGUN BE “ON SAFE”, THE BOLT REMAINS IN OPEN POSITION AND THAT YOUR FINGER BE
KEPT AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
•Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
•Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (see section 2A.)
•Open the bolt by pulling it all the way back until you
hear two clicks.
•With the bolt in the rearward position insert a
ramrod of the proper size into the barrel (start at the
muzzle). The barrel could be damaged if the proper
sized cleaning rod is not used
•Using the ramrod push the pellet into the pellet loading port (forward of the
bolt) see fig 10, remove and discard the pellet. Do not reuse that pellet.
•Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION, close the action, take “OFF SAFE” and
fire. Put the airgun “ON SAFE”.
•If you are not able to unjam your airgun by following this procedure, take no
further action. Crosman Corporation or an Authorized Service Station will
unjam your airgun. (no cost during the warranty period)
9. Maintaining Your Airgun
•Apply Crosman silicone chamber oil (part number RMCOIL) on the barrel
o-ring every 3 months or 500 shots. Apply with a cotton swab as shown in
figure 11.
•Apply a dry powder graphite lube (not included) to the sliding bolt mechanism
every three months or 800 shots.
•First, pull back the T-handle bolt.
•Apply the graphite powder sparingly to the bolt, then slide it back into the receiver.
•Repeat this procedure a few time to allow the lubricant to migrate into the bolt wear surfaces.
•Keep all petroleum-based lubricants away from the fill nipple. They MUST NOT be introduced into the high pres-
sure reservoir.
USE OF PETROLEUM-BASED LUBRICANTS IN THIS AREA COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION RESULTING IN PERSON-
AL INJURY.
•DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER YOUR AIRGUN. Attempts to modify the airgun in any way inconsistent with this manual
may make your airgun unsafe to use, cause serious injury or death, and will void the warranty.
•If you drop your airgun, visually check to see that it works properly before you use it again. If anything seems
changed, like a shorter or weaker trigger pull, this may mean worn out or broken parts. Call Crosman customer service
for assistance before using your airgun again.

4. Depressurizing the airgun:
Your CH2009 airgun, like most PCP airguns, is best stored with some pressure in the
reservoir. This keeps the seals in the airgun forced against the sealing surfaces. In the
event you want or need to depressurize (e.g. for service) follow the following steps:
A. Dry Fire Method:
•Keep the air rifle pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
•Remove all the air from your air rifle by repeatedly cocking and dry-firing with
the air rifle pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION until the pressure gauge on your
airgun shows no pressure and air cannot be heard when the shot is fired.
•Put the air gun “ON SAFE” see section 2A.
B. Degassing tool method:
CAUTION: Failure to ensure the gun is NOT cocked when using the degassing tool
WILL cause damage to the sear mechanism in the trigger.
•Make certain the airgun is not in the cocked position by:
o Pointing the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
o Closing the airgun bolt by sliding forward and latching.
o Pulling the trigger.
Note: If you have raised your cheek piece, you may need to lower the cheek piece in
order to use the degassing tool.
•Insert the degassing tool, (included with your CH2009), into the hammer
spring adjustment knob as shown in figure 6.
•Turn the tool in to the airgun in a clockwise direction until resistance is felt.
This will indicate the nose of the tool has come in contact with the hammer.
PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WILL EXHAUST AIR FROM THE BARREL AT A HIGH RATE. MAKE
CERTAIN THE AIRGUN IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
•Using an Allen wrench or screwdriver through the hole in the degassing tool apply leverage to turn the tool clockwise
and force the internal valve open. This may require approximately 1-2 complete turns to totally degas the airgun.
•Remove the degassing tool completely from the airgun. Leaving the tool in the airgun will interfere with the normal
operation of the firing mechanism.
•Cock the airgun and dry-fire (no pellet) in a SAFE DIRECTION to make certain all pressure has been relieved from
the airgun
•Check the gauge to make certain all pressure has been relieved from the airgun.
5. Cocking, Loading, Unloading and Un-cocking the Airgun
USE .177 CALIBER PELLETS ONLY IN YOUR CH2009. NEVER REUSE AMMUNITION. USE OF ANY OTHER AMMUNITION
CAN CAUSE INJURY TO YOU OR DAMAGE TO THE AIRGUN.
A. Cocking and Loading Pellets
•Put the airgun “ON SAFE.” (See Section 2A).
•Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
•Be sure your airgun is properly pressurized (see section 3).
•Open the bolt by pulling the bolt handle all the way back (fig 8).
•With the bolt in the rearward position, place one pellet, nose first, into the
loading port (breech). This is a single shot pellet airgun. Load no more than
one pellet at a time.
•Lightly push the pellet into the barrel by pushing the bolt handle all the way
forward to lock. DO NOT jam the bolt forward. This will damage your airgun.
•Be sure the bolt is completely closed and locked before firing. If it is not closed
and locked, the pellet may not be discharged.
B. Unloading Pellets and Un-cocking Your Air Gun
Unloading
•The most common way to unload a pellet is to fire your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION following the section on Aiming
and Firing Safely. If a pellet has become lodged in the barrel follow the steps in section 8 removing a Jammed Pellet.
Un-cocking
•To un-cock the action, take the airgun “OFF SAFE.” With the muzzle pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION, open the bolt and
pull all the way to the rear. Holding the bolt handle securely, pull the trigger with your other hand and ease the bolt as
far forward as it will go with your hand. You may now release the bolt and the airgun is un-cocked.
•Put the airgun “ON SAFE”
6. Adjusting The Stock
•Your CH2009 is designed with a stock with an
adjustable cheek piece and butt pad.
•Make sure the airgun is “ON SAFE.” (See Section
2A) and pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
•Loosen the two clamp screws located below
the cheek piece using a 5/32 Allen head wrench.
(fig 9A)
• CHEEK PIECE: Pull up on the cheek piece to
adjust for height. To adjust the cheek piece
downward, place your hand on the top of the
cheek piece only and push down, being careful
not to pinch your fingers.
• BUTT PAD- Horizontal: Pull out on the butt
pad to desired position. Tighten the clamp screws
to lock into position.
