4. Loading and Unloading Plastic BBs
4.1 Loading Plastic BBs
• Make sure the soft air pistol is "ON SAFE" (See Section 2.1).
• Point the soft air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• While supporting the bottom of the grip with your hand to catch the clip, press the clip
release lever and remove the clip from the bottom of the grip frame.
• Be sure not to touch the piercing knob as it will release the CO2 from the soft air
pistol.
• Locate the BB guide (Fig.5) on the front of the clip. Pull the BB guide down and to the
left until it locks into place.
• Insert up to 17 BBs into the magazine.
• Release the BB guide.
• Insert the loaded clip back into the bottom of the grip frame until you hear a click, indicating the clip is securely
locked into place.
4.2 Unloading BBs
• Make sure the soft air pistol is "ON SAFE" (See Section 2.1).
• Point the soft air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Remove the CO2 from the soft air pistol following Section 3.2.
• While supporting the bottom of the grip with your hand to catch the clip, press the clip release lever and remove
the clip from the bottom of the grip frame.
• Locate the BB guide on the front of the clip. Pull the BB guide down and to the left until it locks into place.
• Pour the BBs from the clip into your hand or a container.
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
• Always aim your soft air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and backstop, and
the area around the target is clear, take "OFF SAFE" (See Section 2.2) and squeeze the trigger to fire.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The plastic BBs may bounce off or ricochet and hit
someone or something you had not intended to hit. If the plastic BBs should happen to hit a hard surface,
DO NOT reuse those plastic BBs because they could cause possible damage to your soft air pistol.
• Always choose your target carefully. It is best to shoot at targets, which are attached to a safe backstop.
Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. Replace your backstop if the surface
is worn or damaged, or if a ricochet occurs.
• Your soft air pistol 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 soft air pistol is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is
positioned exactly in 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. 6).
6. Maintaining Your Soft Air Pistol
• Tampering with the soft air pistol or attempts to change the soft air pistol in any way may make it unsafe to
use, cause injury particularly to the eye, and will void the warranty.
• If you drop your soft air pistol, 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 Customer
Service at Crosman for assistance before using your soft air pistol again.
7. Reviewing Safety
• Do not ever point the soft air pistol at any person. Do not ever point the soft air pistol at anything you do not
intend to shoot.
• Always treat the soft air pistol 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 soft air pistol pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always keep the soft air pistol "ON SAFE" until you are ready to shoot in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always check to see if the soft air pistol 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.
• If your reading or prescription glasses are not safety glasses make sure you wear shooting glasses over
your regular glasses.
• Use 6 mm plastic BBs only.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The plastic BBs may bounce off or ricochet and hit
someone or something you had not intended to hit. If the plastic BBs should happen to hit a hard surface, DO
NOT reuse those plastic BBs because they could cause possible damage to your soft air pistol.
• Replace the backstop if it becomes worn. Place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your soft air pistol. Call Customer Service at Crosman
Corporation for repair.
• Do not put the soft air pistol away loaded. Make sure ALL of the plastic BBs are unloaded from the soft air
pistol (See Section 4.2).
• Always store this soft air pistol in a secure location.
• Before you store your soft air gun, make sure that it is unloaded, not charged, and that the airgun is "ON SAFE."

1. Learning the Parts of Your New Soft Air Pistol - Learning the names of the parts of your new soft air pistol
will help you to understand your owner's manual. Use this manual to increase your enjoyment of this soft air
pistol (Fig. 1).
2. Operating the Safety
2.1 To Put The Soft Air Pistol "ON SAFE:"
• Locate the safety on the right hand side of the receiver.
• Push the safety forward toward "S", covering the red dot and exposing the white
dot (Fig. 2A).
The safety is not "ON SAFE" unless it is pushed forward all the way and cov-
ering the red dot.
Like all mechanical devices, a soft air pistol safety can fail. Even when the safety is "ON SAFE", you
should continue to handle the soft air pistol safely. NEVER point the soft air pistol at any person.
NEVER point the soft air pistol at anything you do not intend to shoot.
2.2 To Take The Soft Air Pistol "OFF SAFE":
• Push the safety rearward all the way toward "F"(Fig. 2B). When the red dot is exposed
on the receiver, the soft air pistol is "OFF SAFE" and can be fired.
3. Installing and Removing the CO2 Cartridge
3.1. Installing the CO2 Cartridge
• Make sure the soft air pistol is "ON SAFE" (See Section 2.1).
• Point the soft air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• While supporting the bottom of the grip with your hand to catch the clip, press the clip
release lever and remove the clip from the bottom of the grip frame (Fig. 3).
• Loosen the piercing lever by slowly turning counterclockwise until it stops.
• Insert a new CO2 cartridge into the clip with the small neck of the cartridge pointing
toward the top (Fig. 4).
• Replace the clip.
• With your thumb and finger, turn the piercing lever clockwise to pierce the CO2 cartridge.
(Never use any tool on the piercing lever. Over-tightening can cause injury to you
and/or damage to your airgun).
• Point the soft air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION, take "OFF SAFE" (See section 2.2) and
pull the trigger. Note: If the soft airgun does not make a popping noise after pulling
the trigger, the CO2 is not being discharged. In that event, you will have to put the
airgun "ON SAFE" (See Section 2.1) and tighten the piercing lever ¼ turn. Point
the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION, take "OFF SAFE" (See Section 2.2), and pull the
trigger. Repeat this process if necessary, until CO2 is discharged when you pull
the trigger.
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.) (See Section 3.1 & 4.2).
3.2 Removing the CO2 Cartridge
• Make sure the soft air pistol is "ON SAFE" (See Section 2.1).
• Point the soft air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• With one hand, hold the airgun by the frame. With the other hand, slowly turn the piercing lever counterclockwise
until it stops. This will release CO2 left in the cartridge.
• While supporting the bottom of the grip with your hand to catch the clip, press the clip release lever and remove
the clip from the bottom of the grip frame (Fig. 3).
• Remove the CO2 cylinder by turning the magazine over and allowing the cylinder to fall out.

and or the clip is removed from the grip frame, that a plastic BB is not
