2. Operating the Safety
Keep the airsoft gun in the “ON SAFE” position until you are actually ready to shoot. Then
turn the safety to the “OFF SAFE” position.
A. To Put the Airsoft Gun “ON SAFE”
• Locate the safety on left side of the receiver (Fig. 2).
• Push lever so that the lever is lined up with the word “SAFE”.
B. To Take the Airsoft Gun “OFF SAFE”
NOTE: This airsoft gun fires in full-auto mode. Full-auto means it will continue to fire
plastic BBs as long as you hold the trigger.
• Locate the safety on left side of the receiver (Fig. 2).
• Push the lever to the full fire position.
• The airsoft gun is “OFF SAFE” and ready to fire when safety is pointing to full-auto
mode.
Like all mechanical devices, an airsoft gun safety can fail. Even when the safety is “ON SAFE”, you should continue
to handle the airsoft gun safely. NEVER point the airsoft gun at any person. NEVER point the airsoft gun at anything
you do not intend to shoot.
3 Adjusting the Size of Your Airsoft Gun
A. Installing and Removing the Stock
• To install, line stock up with grooves at the back of the rifle. With the stock in this position push the stock down
until it locks into place.
• To remove the stock, pull the stock release button toward the back of the stock. Push the stock upward until it
has cleared the rail.
B. Removing/installing the Compensator
• Before removing the compensator, make sure your gun is “ON SAFE” (see section 2A) and pointed in a SAFE
DIRECTION.
• To remove the compensator, turn it clockwise all the way, and then pull off the gun.
• To put the compensator back on, be sure to line up the tabs on the gun with the slots in the compensator.
Push compensator on, and then turn counter-clockwise to lock in place.
4. Loading and Unloading Plastic BBs
NOTE: For optimum performance Crosman recommends using only Crosman brand
airsoft BBs.
A. Installing and Filling the Hopper- Loading Chamber.
• Make sure the airsoft gun is “ON SAFE” (section 2A) and pointed in a SAFE
DIRECTION.
• Make sure your loading chamber is empty.
• Loosen the mounting screws on the loading chamber.
• With the small end toward the rear of the gun, place the loading chamber on the
top rail, lining up the hole on the gun with the hole on the loader (fig.3).
• Tighten the mounting screws.
• Slide open the loading chamber door located on top of the chamber.
• Fill the chamber with 6mm BBs and slide the door closed.
NOTE: Use 6 mm plastic BBs only in this airsoft gun. Use of any other ammunition can cause injury to you or dam-
age to the airsoft gun.
B. Unloading Plastic BBs
• Make sure the airsoft gun is “ON SAFE” (section 2A).
• Point the airsoft gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• To empty the chamber slide open the door on the top of the chamber and pour the BBs out into a container or
your hand.
• Point the airsoft gun in a SAFE DIRECTION, take “OFF SAFE” and fire the gun in a safe direction until no more
BBs fire.
• Put the airsoft gun back “ON SAFE”.
Never assume that because the airsoft gun no longer fires a BB and/or the loading
chamber is removed, that a BB is not lodged in the barrel. Always treat the airsoft gun as though it is loaded
and with the same respect you would a firearm.
5. Charging, Loading and Removing the Battery
