Crosman HB17-20-22 - Manual

• 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 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 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 Section 2.2) and pull the trigger to fire.
5.2 Sight Adjustment
The rear sight may be adjusted to shoot higher or lower (elevation). Turn the rear
sight elevation screw clockwise to make the pellet hit higher on the target. Turn
the screw counterclockwise to make the pellet hit lower on the target (Fig 6).
6. Removing a Jammed Pellet
• Put your airgun "ON SAFE"
• Recock the action.
• With the bolt in the open position, insert a ramrod in to the muzzle end of
the barrel and gently push the jammed pellet in to the pellet loading port (forward of the bolt). (Fig 7)
• Do not reuse the pellet again.
• 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 (no cost during the warranty period).
7. Maintaining Your Airgun
• Before you attempt to oil your airgun, make sure the gun is unloaded and air has been removed (see section 4.2)
• Your airgun will maintain proper function longer if you oil it every 250 shots. Put 1 drop of Crosman 0241 Pellgunoil® on the pump lever
pivot and rivet (see Fig. 8).
• 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, 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 the proper size pellet for your airgun. .177 caliber (4.5 mm) pellet only for the HB17, .20 caliber (5.0 mm) pellet only for the HB20,
and .22 caliber (5.5 mm) pellet only for the HB22 .
• Never reuse ammunition.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet 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.
• Always keep your CrosBlock trigger block in place when storing this airgun. Store airgun in a secure location. (See CrosBlock
instructions packaged with this airgun for assistance)
• Before you store your airgun, make sure that it is unloaded, not charged, and that the airgun is "On Safe."

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
2.1 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. 1).
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.
2.2 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.
3. Pumping the Airgun
• Put the airgun "On Safe". (See Step 2.1)
• Open the forearm all the way until it stops (Fig. 2). Be sure to hold the forearm firmly as you open it. It could spring back into the closed
position, possibly causing injury. Place your hands in the same positions shown in Fig. 2 in
order to avoid being pinched, should you lose hold of the forearm. Do not twist the forearm
while pumping. Use straight strokes to prevent breakage.
• Be sure to use at least three pumps (but no more than 8) to prevent the barrel from jamming
with a pellet remaining in the barrel after firing.
• Return the forearm to the original closed position with a smooth stroke. Be sure to hold the
forearm firmly as you close it to prevent it from springing open and possibly causing injury.
4. Loading and Unloading/Firing Pellets
4.1 Loading Pellets
• Make sure the airgun is "On Safe." (See Section 2.1)
• Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Open the bolt by rotating the handle ¼ turn counterclockwise. Cock the airgun by pulling the bolt handle back all the way until you hear
two clicks and the bolt stays rearward. (Fig 3)
• With the bolt open, place one pellet, nose first, in to the loading port. (Fig 4)
• Lightly push the pellet in to the barrel by moving the bolt to the full forward position.
• Close and lock bolt by turning clockwise until firm resistance is felt.
• Be sure the bolt is closed and locked before firing.
4.2 Unloading/Firing the Pellets
• The most common way to unload the pellets, is to fire your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION after following Section 5 on aiming and firing
safely.
• You can also follow the directions under Section 6 on removing a jammed pellet.
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
5.1 Aiming and Firing the Airgun
• Always point your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Follow the instructions for pumping (Section 3) and loading pellets (Section 4.1).
