2. Operating the Safety
Keep the airsoft gun in the “ON SAFE” position until you are ready to
shoot. Then turn the safety to the “OFF SAFE” position.
WARNING:
2.1 To Put the airsoft gun “ON SAFE:”
• Locate the safety directly behind the trigger.
• Push the safety from the left side all the way in (Fig. 2).
The safety
is not “ON SAFE” unless it is pushed all the way in and the RED
ring around the left side of the safety is NOT showing.
Like all mechanical devices, a 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.
2.2. To Take the airsoft gun “OFF SAFE”:
• Push the safety from the right side all the way in. When you can
see the RED ring around the left side of the safety, the airgun is “OFF SAFE” and can be fired.
3. Loading and Unloading Plastic BBs
WARNING:
Use 6 mm airsoft BBs only in this airsoft gun. Use of any other ammunition
can cause injury to you or damage to the airsoft gun.
NEVER RE-USE AMMUNITION.
3.1 Loading Plastic BBs
• Make sure the airsoft rifle is “ON SAFE” and pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Release the BB magazine by pushing in on the magazine release button behind
the magazine (Fig. 3).
• Open the BB loading door of the magazine and pour up to 400 – 6mm airsoft
BBs in. (Fig. 4A)
• Close the BB loading door.
• Turn the magazine as shown in figure 4B and pull back the BB follower tab.
• Gently shake the magazine, allowing BBs to load in the chamber.
• Place a finger over the end of the magazine where the BBs will exit.
• With the magazine pointed in a safe direction, release the BB Follower tab.
NOTE: Releasing the BB follower tab quickly, or without the end covered, could
allow BBs to exit the magazine.
• Insert the loaded clip into the airsoft gun.
• Your airsoft gun is now loaded and ready to fire, after reading the entire
manual.
3.2 Unloading Plastic BBs
• Make sure the airsoft rifle is “ON SAFE” and pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Release the BB magazine by pushing in on the magazine release button
behind the magazine (Fig. 3).
• Do not put the clip back in the gun.
• Follow section 4 on pumping the airsoft gun.
• After reading section 5 on aiming and firing safely, take the gun ”OFF SAFE”
and pull the trigger.
• Repeat these steps until you are no longer firing plastic BBs.
• Put the airsoft gun back “ON SAFE”.
• Open the BB loading door of the magazine and pour out any remaining – 6mm
airsoft BBs in.
• Close the BB loading door.
WARNING:
Never assume that because the airsoft gun no longer fires a plastic BB
and/or the magazine is removed, that a plastic 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.
4. Pumping Your Airsoft Rifle
• Put the airsoft gun “ON SAFE” (See Step 2A).
WARNING:
Always hold the forearm firmly when you pump it to prevent possible injury.
WARNING:
Never pump your airsoft gun more than once. Over-pumping can cause
major damage to your airsoft gun.
• Holding the forearm firmly, pull it all the way back. Do not twist the
forearm while pumping. Use a straight stroke to prevent breakage
(Fig. 5).
• Return the forearm to the original closed position with a smooth
stroke. Be sure to hold the forearm firmly as you close it.
NOTE: You must follow the procedure for pumping and firing your
airsoft gun each time you shoot.
5. Adjusting the Hop Up
Your airsoft gun is manufactured with a hop-up system. The purpose
of this system is to change the spin on the BB as it leaves the
muzzle allowing you to adapt your shot for different distances.
• Make sure the airsoft gun is “ON SAFE” (see section 2A) and
the magazine is removed.
• Point the airsoft gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Locate the hop up adjustment slide on the side of the gun
(fig. 6) Push the slide back for less spin or forward for more
spin.
6. Aiming and Firing Safely
6.1 Aiming Safely
• You and others with you should always wear shooting
glasses to protect your eyes.
• Always aim your airsoft rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the
area around the target is clear, pump the airsoft rifle (See Step 4), take “OFF SAFE” (See Step 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 airsoft rifle.

• 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 airsoft rifle 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, or if the plastic BB richochets.
6.2 Firing Safely
• Make sure the airsoft rifle is “ON SAFE” (See Step 2.1).
• Point the airsoft rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Follow section 5 on pumping the airsoft gun.
• After reading section 7 on aiming and firing safely, take the airsoft gun “OFF SAFE” and pull the trigger.
• Repeat these steps until you are no longer firing plastic BBs.
• Put the airsoft gun back “ON SAFE”.
• Remove the magazine.
7. Maintaining Your Airsoft Rifle
• Tampering with the airsoft rifle or attempts to change the airsoft rifle in any way may make it unsafe to use,
cause injury particularly to the eye, and will void the warranty.
• If you drop your airsoft rifle, 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 airsoft rifle again.
8. ADJUSTING THE STOCK
• The airsoft gun is shipped with the stock in the closed position and is capable of adjusting to different lengths.
• Before adjusting the stock make sure the airsoft gun is “ON SAFE”, (see section 2A) and pointed in a SAFE
DIRECTION.
• Push the stock release lever and adjust the stock until it locks into the desired position.
9. Reviewing Safety
• Do not ever point the airsoft rifle at any person. Do not ever point the airsoft rifle at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Always treat the airsoft rifle 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 airsoft rifle pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always keep the airsoft rifle “ON SAFE” until you are ready to shoot in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always check to see if the airsoft rifle 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.

• 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 airsoft rifle.
• Replace the backstop if it becomes worn. Place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail.
