5. Pumping Your Soft Air Rifle
• Put the soft air gun "ON SAFE" (See Step 2A).
• 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 soft air gun each
time you shoot.
6. Adjusting the Hop Up
Your soft air 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 soft air gun is "ON SAFE" (see section 2A)
and the magazine is removed.
• Point the soft air 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.
7. Aiming and Firing Safely
7.1 Aiming Safely
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
• Always aim your soft air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and
backstop, and the area around the target is clear, pump the soft air 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 soft air 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 soft air 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.
7.2 Firing Safely
• Make sure the soft air rifle is "ON SAFE" (See Step 2.1).
• Point the soft air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Follow section 5 on pumping the soft air gun.
• After reading section 7 on aiming and firing safely, take the soft air gun "OFF SAFE" and pull
the trigger.
• Repeat these steps until you are no longer firing plastic BBs.
• Put the soft air gun back "ON SAFE".
• Remove the magazine.
8. Maintaining Your Soft Air Rifle
• Tampering with the soft air rifle or attempts to change the soft air 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 soft air 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 soft air rifle again.

possible damage to your soft air rifle.
