1. Learning the Parts of Your New Airgun.
Learning the names of the parts of your new airgun
will help you to understand your owner's manual.
Use this manual to increase your enjoyment of this
airgun.
2. Operating the Safety
2.1 To Put the Airgun "ON SAFE":
• Locate the safety directly in back of the trigger.
• Push the safety from the left side all the way in (Fig. 1).
The safety is not "On Safe" unless it is
pushed all the way in and the RED ring around the safety is NOT showing.
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.
2.2 To Take the Airgun "OFF SAFE":
• Push the safety from the right side all the way in. When you can see the RED ring around the
safety, the airgun is "Off Safe" and can be fired.
3. Installing and Removing the CO2 cartridge
3.1 Installing the CO2 Cartridge
• Make sure the airgun is "On Safe" (See Section 2.1).
• Insert the new CO2 cylinder into the gun with the small neck of the cylinder first. (Fig. 2)
• Replace the filler cap assembly in the action tube. Be sure to screw the filler cap completely into place.
• Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION
• Cock the action by rotating the bolt handle ¼ turn counterclockwise and pull back all the way until you hear two clicks and the bolt stays
rearward. (Fig. 3)
• Take the airgun "Off Safe" (See Section 2.2) and pull the trigger. If the airgun does not make a popping noise after pulling the
trigger, the CO2 is not being discharged. In that event, you should put the gun on safe, tighten the filler cap assembly a little more,
and cock the gun following the steps above. Point the gun in a SAFE DIRECTION, take "Off Safe" and pull the trigger until there is a
popping noise, which will mean the airgun is releasing CO2 with each pull of the trigger.
• Return the safety to the "On Safe" position (See Section 2.1)
NOTE: We recommend the use of CROSMAN® POWERLET® CO2 cartridges.
They are made to fit
your 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. (This is very important to remember, as it will prolong the longevity of your airgun seals.)
3.2 Removing the CO2 Cartridge
• Put the airgun "On Safe" (See Section 2.1).
• Make sure the airgun is unloaded (See Section 4.2).
• Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• With one hand, hold the airgun by the grip. With the other hand, slowly turn the filler cap counterclockwise completely allowing the
release of remaining CO2. (Fig. 2).
REMEMBER: Keep hands and face away from escaping CO2 gas. It can cause frostbite if allowed to come in contact with skin.
Pull the filler assembly from the action tube and remove the empty CO2 cylinder by pointing the muzzle of the airgun down. Avoid prolonged
contact with the CO2 cylinder if it is very cold.
4. Loading and Unloading/Firing Pellets
4.1 Loading Pellets
• Make sure the airgun is "On Safe." (See Section 2.1)
• Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
BUYER AND USER HAVE THE DUTY TO OBEY ALL LAWS ABOUT THE USE AND OWNERSHIP OF THIS AIRGUN.
• Open the bolt by rotating the handle ¼ turn counterclockwise and pull back all the way until you hear two clicks and the bolt stays
rearward (Fig 3)
• With the bolt open, place one pellet, nose first, in to the loading port. (Fig 4)
• Lightly push the pellet in to the barrel by moving the bolt to the full forward position.
• Close and lock bolt by turning clockwise until firm resistance is felt.
• Be sure the bolt is closed and locked before firing.
4.2 Unloading/Firing the Pellets
• The most common way to unload the pellets, is to fire your airgun in a SAFE
DIRECTION after following Section 5 on aiming and firing safely.
• You can also follow the directions under section 6 on removing a jammed pellet.
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
5.1 Aiming and Firing the Airgun
• Always point your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Follow the instructions for installing CO2 (Section 3.1) and loading pellets (Section
4.1)
• 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. 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.
• 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. 5)
• When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear,
take the airgun “Off Safe” (See Section 2.2) and pull the trigger to fire.
5.2 Sight Adjustment
The rear sight may be adjusted to shoot higher or lower (elevation). Turn the rear sight
elevation screw clockwise to make the pellet hit higher on the target. Turn the screw
counterclockwise to make the pellet hit lower on the target (Fig 6).
6. Removing a Jammed Pellet
• Put your airgun "ON SAFE"
• Remove the filler cap (Section 3.2) to release the CO2 charge.
• Recock the action.
• With the bolt in the open position, insert a ramrod in to the muzzle end of
the barrel and gently push the jammed pellet in to the pellet loading port
(forward of the bolt). (Fig 7)
• Do not reuse the pellet again.
• If you are not able to unjam your airgun by following the unloading
procedure, take no further action. An Authorized Service Station will
unjam your airgun (no cost during the warranty period).
7. Maintaining Your Airgun
• Before you attempt to oil your airgun, make sure the gun is unloaded and the CO2 cylinder has been removed (see sections 3.2 and
4.2)
• Your airgun will maintain proper function longer if you oil it every 250 shots. Put 1 drop of Crosman
0241 Pellgunoil® on the threads of the filler cap.
• Putting a drop of Pellgunoil on the tip of every CO2 cylinder will also help to maintain your airgun. DO
NOT use petroleum distillate based oil or solvent and DO NOT over-oil as this can cause damage to
your airgun.
• A light coat of Pellgunoil on the barrel helps prevent rust.
• 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, 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.
8. 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 pellet for your airgun. .177 caliber (4.5 mm) pellet only for the EB17, .20 caliber (5.0 mm) pellet only for the EB20,
and .22 caliber (5.5 mm) pellet only for the EB22 .
• Never reuse ammunition.
• 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.
• 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 that it is unloaded, not charged, and that the airgun is "On Safe."
