1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• 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 BB (.177 cal) only in your airgun.
• Never reuse ammunition.t
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The BB 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.
• Before you store your airgun, make sure it is unloaded, not charged, and the airgun is “ON SAFE.”

3. Operating the Safety
A. 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. 2). 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.
B. 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 left side of the safety, the airgun is “OFF SAFE”
and can be fired.
4. Loading and Unloading BBs
A. Loading BBs
• Make sure the air rifle is “ON SAFE” (sec. 2A) and pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION,
• While keeping your hand away from the front of the muzzle open the BB loading port door.
(Fig. 3).
• With the muzzle end of the barrel pointed up at an angle, slowly pour up to 700 BBs through
the BB loading port into the BB reservoir. (Fig 4)
• Close the BB loading port door.
B. Unloading the BBs
• Put the air rifle “ON SAFE” (See Step 2A).
• While keeping your hand away from the front of the muzzle open the BB loading port door.
• Tilt the muzzle end of the barrel down.
• Shake the air rifle until all BBs fall out.
• Close the loading port door.
• Cock the air rifle.
• With the gun pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION take “OFF SAFE” and fire the gun by pulling
the trigger.
• Repeat these steps several times to make sure that no BBs remain in the air rifle.
NEVER ASSUME THAT BECAUSE THE AIRGUN NO LONGER FIRES A BB, THAT A BB IS NOT LODGED IN THE BARREL. ALWAYS TREAT
THE AIRGUN AS THOUGH IT IS LOADED AND WITH THE SAME RESPECT YOU WOULD A FIREARM.
5. Cocking Your Air Rifle
Fig. 5 Fig. 6
ALWAYS HOLD THE LEVER FIRMLY WHEN COCKING TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY.
• Make sure the air rifle is “ON SAFE.” (See Step 2A)
• With the muzzle end of the barrel raised upward in a SAFE DIRECTION, as shown in figure 5 pull the cocking lever all the
way outward.
NOTE: Raising the muzzle while cocking the air rifle enables a BB to roll into the firing position.
ALWAYS HOLD THE LEVER AS SHOWN TO AVOID PINCHING YOUR FINGERS.
• Close the cocking lever as shown in Fig 6, making sure to hold it firmly to prevent it from springing open and possibly caus-
ing injury.
• Your air rifle is now ready to fire.
6. Aiming and Firing Safely
A. Aiming the Airgun
• Always point your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• 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 BB or 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 or 0852 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 remem-
ber to place your target carefully. THINK about what you will hit if you miss the target.
• Follow the instructions for cocking (Section 4) and loading BB (Section 3A).
• 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. 7)
• When you are sure of your target and backstop and the area around the target is clear, take the airgun “OFF SAFE” (See section 2B) and pull the trigger to fire.
Note: You must follow the procedure for cocking; loading and firing your airgun each time you shoot (See sections 3-5).
B. Sight Adjustment
• The rear sight may be adjusted to shoot higher or lower (elevation).
• Move the rear sight elevator back to make the BB or pellet hit higher on the target.
• Move the rear sight elevator forward to make the BB or pellet hit lower on the target. When
moving the elevator, slightly lift the rear sight with one hand, and move the elevator with
the other hand and reset it on the desired notch. (Fig. 8)
7. Maintaining Your Airgun
• Before you attempt to oil your airgun, make sure the gun is “ON SAFE”, unloaded and
not cocked.
• Your airgun will maintain proper function longer if you oil it every 250 shots. Put one drop
of Crosman 0241 Pellgunoil® in the tube as shown (Fig 9). DO NOT use petroleum distillate
based oil or solvent, and DO NOT over-oil as this can cause damage to your gun.
• 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, visually check to see that no damage has occurred to the gun. 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.
