Crosman PRO77 (2007-2008) - Manual

1. Learning the Parts of Your New Air Pistol
Learning the names of the parts of your new air pistol will help you to understand your owner's manual. Use this man-
ual to increase your enjoyment of this air pistol.
2. Operating the Safety
A. To Put the Airgun "ON SAFE:"
• Locate the safety on the right side of your airgun.
• Rotate the lever toward the rear of the gun until it covers the red dot and the "S" for safe
is showing. (Fig. 2A). The safety is not "ON SAFE" unless it is pushed all the way back
covering the red dot.
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 air gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
B. To Take the Airgun "OFF SAFE"
• Locate the safety on the right side of your airgun.
• Rotate the lever forward until the red dot and the "F" for fire are showing. When you can
see the RED dot the airgun is "OFF SAFE" and can be fired.
3. Removing and Installing CO2 Cartridge
A. Installing a New CO2 Cartridge
• Put the airgun "ON SAFE" (section 2A.)
• Remove the clip by pressing the clip release button.
• Turn the piercing knob counter-clockwise and remove (fig. 3).
• Insert a new CO2 cartridge into the airgun with the small neck of the CO2 cartridge
toward the top.
• Replace the piercing knob and turn the knob until finger tight.
• Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Cock the airgun by pulling the slide all the way back to the rearward position
and slowly releasing it, allowing it to move forward (fig. 4).
• Take "OFF SAFE" (section 2B) and pull the trigger.
• Return the safety to the "ON SAFE" position (section 2A).
• If the airgun did not make a popping noise after pulling the trigger, the CO2 is
not being discharged. In that event turn the piercing knob another ¼ turn, point
the gun in a SAFE DIRECTION, cock the gun, take "OFF SAFE" and pull the
trigger. Repeat as necessary until a popping noise is heard.
NOTE: We recommend the use of Crosman ® brand Powerlet CO2 cartridges. They are made to
fit the Model PRO77 airgun. Other brands of CO2 cartridges may not fit properly and if you force them into place it may result in injury to
you or damage to your airgun. Never try to force any CO2 cartridge into or out of place. Do not store your airgun with a CO2 cartridge in
it. If you know you will not be using your airgun for an extended period of time, empty the CO2 cartridge and remove it from the airgun.
(See section 3B). This is very important to remember, as it will prolong the longevity of your airgun seals.
B. Removing CO2 Cartridge.
• Put the airgun "ON SAFE" (section 2A).
• Remove the clip from the airgun by pressing the clip release button.(see section 4B)
• With one hand hold the gun as shown (fig. 5).
• With the other hand turn the piercing knob counter-clockwise until you start to hear gas
escape, remove hand from the piercing knob being careful not to come in contact with
the escaping gas.
• When you no longer hear gas escaping, continue to slowly turn the piercing knob until
it is removed from the gun.
• Drop out the CO2 cartridge and replace the piercing knob.
4. Loading and Unloading BBs
A. Loading BBs
• Put the airgun "ON SAFE" (section 2A)
• Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Remove the clip by pressing the clip release button.
• Pull and hold down the BB follower tab on the clip (fig. 6).
• Insert up to 17 BBs into the hole on the back of the clip.
• Gently release the BB follower tab.
• Insert the loaded clip into the airgun.
• Your airgun is now loaded and ready to fire, after reading the entire manual, including section
7 on reviewing safety.
NOTE: This airgun has been developed with a blowback feature, which allows the gun to automatically re-cock after each trigger pull. You
need only cock your air pistol manually once when you load the CO2. In addition, when the BBs have been shot out of the clip, the airgun
will not fully re-cock and the slide will remain in the rearward position. To continue shooting, place the gun "ON SAFE' and reload BBs,
following section 4A. If you are done shooting de-cock the airgun by placing your thumb on the hammer and pulling the trigger as you
slowly guide the hammer into the forward position.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BLOWBACK FEATURE
EMPTY CLIP
When the clip is empty, the airgun will not fully re-cock, and the slide will remain in the rearward position. To continue
shooting, place the gun "ON SAFE" and reload BBs following section 4A. Release the slide by pressing the slide
release lever (fig. 4). The airgun is cocked and ready to fire after taking "OFF SAFE".
EMPTY CO2 CARTRIDGE
As the CO2 is consumed, the cartridge may not have enough CO2 to re-cock the airgun, and the slide may remain in
the forward position. Put the airgun "ON SAFE" and follow section 3B on removing the CO2 cartridge.
NOTE: The faster you shoot the gun, the faster you will use up the CO2. For OPTIMUM CO2 EFFICIENCY pause 5 seconds between shots.

B. Unloading BBs
• Put the airgun "ON SAFE" (section 2A).
• Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Remove the clip by pressing the clip release button.
• Pull and hold down the BB follower tab.
• Tip the clip until all the BBs fall out of the hole.
• If a BB is still visible in the top of the clip, push the BB out of the clip using a .177 caliber ramrod.
• Aim the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION take "OFF SAFE" (section 2B) and fire.
• Repeat this procedure several times until you are sure you are no longer firing BBs.
• NOTE: The airgun must be charged with CO2 when following these steps but remember, do not store your
airgun with a CO2 cartridge in it.
• De-cock your airgun by placing your thumb on the hammer and pulling the trigger as you slowly guide the
hammer into the forward position.
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
• Always point your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• 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 BB may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or
something you had not intended to hit.
• Always choose your target carefully. For example, you may wish to shoot at paper bulls-eye targets that are
attached to a safe backstop such as the Crosman 850 Target Trap. A heavy blanket should be hung behind
the target trap 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.
• Follow the instructions for charging the airgun (section 3) and loading BBs (sec-
tion 4A).
• The airgun is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned exactly in
the center of the notch of the rear sight. The top of the front sight blade should be
even with the top of the notch in the rear sight. The bulls-eye should appear to
rest on the top of the front sight (fig. 7).
• When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the tar-
get is clear, take the airgun "OFF SAFE" (see section 2B) and pull the trigger
to fire.
6. Maintaining Your Airgun
• Before you attempt to oil your airgun, make sure the gun is unloaded and air has been removed (sections 3B
and 4B.)
• A drop of oil on the end of every CO2 cylinder will help to prolong the life of your airgun.
• DO NOT use petroleum distillate based oil or solvent and DO NOT over-oil as this can cause damage to
your airgun.
• 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 the factory for assistance
before using your airgun again.
7. Reviewing Safety
• Never point the airgun at any person or at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Always treat the airgun as though it is loaded and with the same respect you would a firearm.
• Always aim in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always keep the muzzle of the airgun pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always keep the airgun "ON SAFE" until you are ready to shoot.
• Always check to see if the airgun is "ON SAFE" and unloaded when getting it from another person or from storage.
• Always keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot.
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
• If your reading or prescription glasses are not safety glasses make sure you wear shooting glasses over your
regular glasses.
• Use the proper size BB for your airgun.
• Never reuse ammunition.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The BB may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or
something you had not intended to hit.
• Place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail.
• Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. All backstops are subject to wear and
will eventually fail. Replace your backstop if the surface is worn or damaged or if a ricochet occurs.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your airgun. Use an Authorized Service Station. Using unauthorized
repair centers or modifying the function of your airgun in any way may be unsafe and will void your warranty.
• Always keep your CrosBlock trigger block in place when storing this airgun. Store airgun in a secure location. (See
CrosBlock instructions packaged with this airgun for assistance).
• Before you store your airgun, make sure it is unloaded, not charged, and is "ON SAFE."
YOU AND OTHERS WITH YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR SHOOTING GLASSES TO PROTECT YOUR EYES.

Keep hands away from escaping CO2 gas. It can cause frostbite if allowed
to come in contact with skin. Always make sure the CO2 cartridge is empty
before attempting to remove it from the air pistol by slowly turning the filler cap counter-clockwise
all the way until you no longer hear the escape of CO2 gas.

thumb MUST remain on the hammer as you slowly guide the hammer back to
the upward position. If you do not keep your thumb on the hammer while de-cocking the air
pistol, it can fire, causing possible injury.
