WARNING: Do not brandish or display this soft air gun in public – it may confuse people

• Put the soft air gun “ON SAFE” (see Section 2A).
• Make sure the soft air gun is UNLOADED and POINTED IN A
SAFE DIRECTION.
• Holding the soft air gun as shown, slide the grip plate straight back
to open (Fig. 3).
• Turn the piercing knob left until it is all the way down.
• Insert the new CO
2
cartridge into the soft air gun with the small neck of the
CO
2
cartridge inserted first.
• Finger-tighten the cartridge piercing knob by turning it right.
• To make sure the cartridge has been pierced, point the soft air gun in a SAFE
DIRECTION, take “OFF SAFE” (see Step 2B) and pull the trigger.
• If the soft air gun does not make a popping noise after pulling the trigger, the

in injury to you or damage to your soft air gun. Never try to force any CO
2
cartridge into or out of place.
Do not store your soft air gun with a CO
2
cartridge in it. If you know you will not be using your soft air gun
for an extended period of time, empty the CO
2

This is very important to remember, as it will prolong the longevity of your soft air gun seals.

your soft air gun with a CO

WARNING: Even though you go through the unloading procedure, continue to treat the
soft air gun as though it were loaded. Do not point at anything you do not intend to shoot.
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
• You and others with you should always wear eye protection designed for
soft air to protect your eyes.
• Always point your soft air gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• 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.
• DO NOT re-use plastic BBs because they could possibly cause damage
to your soft air gun.
• Your soft air gun 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.
• Your soft air gun is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is position 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. 5).
• When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, take the soft
air gun “OFF SAFE” (section 2A) aim and pull the trigger to fire.
6. Removing a Jammed BB
Follow the instructions under section 4B. If you are not able to unjam your soft air gun by following the
unloading procedure, take no further action. An Authorized Service Station will unjam your soft air gun at
no cost during the warranty period.
7. Maintaining Your Soft air gun
• Putting 1 drop of Crosman 0241 Pellgunoil® on the tip of every CO
2
cylinder will help to maintain
your soft air gun. DO NOT use petroleum distillate based oil or solvent and DO NOT over-oil as this
can cause damage to your soft air gun.
• DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER YOUR SOFT AIR GUN. Attempts to modify the soft air gun in any
way inconsistent with this manual may make your soft air gun unsafe to use, cause serious injury,
especially to the eye and will void the warranty.
• If you drop your soft air gun, 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 soft air gun again.
8. Reviewing Safety
• Do not ever point the soft air gun at any person. Do not ever point the soft air gun at anything you do
not intend to shoot.
• Always treat the soft air gun 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 gun pointed in
a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always keep the soft air gun “ON SAFE” until you are ready to shoot in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always check to see if the soft air gun 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 eye protection to protect your eyes.
• Always wear eye protection designed for soft air over your regular glasses.
• Use 6 mm plastic BBs only.
• Do not reuse plastic BBs because they could cause possible damage to your soft air gun.
• 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.
• Replace the backstop if it becomes worn. 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 soft airgun.
• DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER YOUR SOFT AIRGUN. Attempts to modify the soft air gun in any way
may make your soft air gun unsafe to use, cause serious injury or death and will void the warranty.
• Using unauthorized repair centers or modifying the function of your soft air gun in any way may be
unsafe and will void your warranty.
• Do not put the soft air gun away loaded. Make sure ALL of the plastic BBs are unloaded from the
soft air gun.
• Always store this soft air gun in a secure location.
