Crosman C11 - Manual

1. Learning the Parts of Your New Airgun
Learning the names of the parts of your new airgun will help you to understand your owner's manual. Use this
manual to increase your enjoyment of this airgun.
2. Operating the Safety
A. To Put the Airgun "ON SAFE:"
• Locate the safety on the right side of the airgun.
• Push the safety in and all the way forward toward the "S" for "ON SAFE" (Fig. 2).
The safety is not "ON SAFE" unless it is pushed all the way forward.
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 airgun
at anything you do not intend to shoot.
B. To Take the Airgun "OFF SAFE":
• Push the safety in and all the way backward toward the "F" for "OFF SAFE".
• The airgun is ready to fire when "OFF SAFE". When the safety is all the way back the airgun is "OFF SAFE"
and can be fired.
3. Installing and Removing the CO2 Cartridge
A. Installing the CO2 Cartridge
• Put the airgun "ON SAFE" (see Section 2A).
• Make sure the airgun is UNLOADED and POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
• Holding the airgun 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 CO2 cartridge into the airgun with the small neck of the CO2 cartridge
inserted first.
• Finger-tighten the cartridge piercing knob by turning it right.
• Slide the grip plate forward to close.
• To make sure the cartridge has been pierced, point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION,
take "OFF SAFE" (see Step 2B) and pull the trigger.
• If the airgun does not make a popping noise after pulling the trigger, the CO2 is not
being discharged. In that event put the airgun "ON SAFE" (Step 2A), open the grip
plate, and tighten a 1/4 turn and repeat the steps above.
NOTE: We recommend the use of Crosman® Powerlet® CO2 cartridges. They are made to fit your airgun. Other
brands of CO2 cartridges may not fit properly and if you force them into place it may result in injury to you or damage to
your airgun. Never try to force any CO2 cartridge into or out of place. Do not store your airgun with a CO2 cartridge in it.
If you know you will not be using your airgun for an extended period of time, empty the CO2 cartridge and remove it from
the airgun (Step 4B). This is very important to remember, as it will prolong the longevity of your airgun seals.
B. Removing the CO2 Cartridge
• Put the airgun "ON SAFE" (section 2A).
• Make sure the airgun is UNLOADED (section 4B) and pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Slide the grip plate straight back to open (fig. 3.).
• Use one hand to hold the airgun at the top of the receiver, being sure not to cover the muzzle.
• Loosen the cartridge piercing knob by slowly turning it left (see fig. 3) allowing any remaining gas to escape.
• Drop out the CO2 cartridge.
• Tighten the cartridge piercing knob enough so that the grip passes over it.
• Slide the grip plate forward to close.
4. Loading and Unloading BBs
A. Loading
• Make sure the airgun is "ON SAFE" (See Step 2A) and pointed in a SAFE
DIRECTION.
• Remove the magazine by pressing on the magazine release button on the left
side of the gun (fig 1.)
• Pull and hold down the BB follower tab (fig. 4).

• Insert up to 18 BBs into the BB loading hole on the front of the magazine (Fig. 4).
• Release the BB follower tab.
• Insert the loaded clip into the air pistol.
• Your gun is now loaded and ready to fire, after reading the entire manual, including section 8 on
reviewing safety.
B. Unloading BBs
• Put the airgun "ON SAFE" (See Step 2A).
• Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Remove the magazine by pressing on the magazine release button.
• Pull and hold down the BB follower tab.
• Tip the magazine until all the BBs fall out of the loading hole.
• If a BB is still visible in the top of the magazine, push the BB out of the magazine using a ramrod.
• Aim the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION, take it "OFF SAFE" (See Step 2B) and fire.
• Repeat this procedure several times until you are sure you are no longer firing BBs.
NOTE: The air pistol must be charged with CO2 when following these steps but remember, do not store your
airgun with a CO2 cartridge in it.
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
• Always point your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Follow the instructions for inserting CO2 (section 3A) and loading (section 4A).
• 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 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 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 remember to place your target carefully. THINK about what you will hit if you
miss the target.
• 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. 5).
• When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is
clear, take the airgun "OFF SAFE" (See Step 2B) and pull the trigger to fire.
6. Removing a Jammed BB
Follow the instructions for unloading BBs under section 4B. If you are not able to unjam your airgun by following the
unloading procedure, take no further action. An Authorized Service Station will unjam your airgun at no cost during the
warranty period.
7. Maintaining Your Airgun
• Putting 1 drop of Crosman 0241 Pellgunoil® on the tip of every CO2 cylinder will help to maintain your
airgun. DO NOT use petroleum distillate based oil or solvent and DO NOT over-oil as this can cause
damage to your airgun.
• 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 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 airgun again.
8. Reviewing Safety
• 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 .177 caliber (4.5 mm) BBs only. Never reuse ammunition.
• 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 that it is unloaded, not charged, and that the airgun is "ON SAFE."
YOU AND OTHERS WITH YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR SHOOTING GLASSES TO PROTECT
YOUR EYES.
