Crosman SAMM50 - Manual

3.1. Installing the CO
2
Cartridge
• Make sure the soft air gun is “ON SAFE” (See Section 2.1).
• Point the soft air gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Loosen the CO
2
piercing assembly by slowly turning counter-clockwise.
• Pull out piercing assembly.
• Cock the gun by pulling back on the cocking lever and releasing.
• Insert a new CO
2
cartridge with the small neck of the cartridge pointing toward the top (Fig. 3).
• Replace the piercing assembly.
• With your thumb and finger, turn the piercing knob clockwise to pierce the CO
2
cartridge. Never
use any tool on the piercing lever. Over-tightening can cause injury to you and/or damage to
your soft air gun (Fig. 4).
• Point the soft air gun in a SAFE DIRECTION, take “OFF SAFE” (See section 2.2) and pull the
trigger. If the soft air gun does not make a popping noise after pulling the trigger, the CO
2
is not being discharged. In that event, you will have to put the soft air gun “ON SAFE” (See
Sect. 2.1) and tighten the piercing lever ¼ turn. Cock the soft air gun, point it in a SAFE
DIRECTION, take “OFF SAFE” (See Sect. 2.2), and pull the trigger. Repeat this process if
necessary, until CO
2
is discharged when you pull the trigger.
We recommend the use of CROSMAN® POWERLET® CO
2
cartridges; they are made to fit your
soft air gun. Other brands of CO
2
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 CO
2
cartridge into or
out of place. Do not store your airgun with a CO
2
cartridge in it. (This is very important to remember, as it will prolong the longevity of
your soft air gun seals.)

2.1 To Put The Soft Air Gun “ON SAFE:”
• Locate the safety on the left side of your soft air gun. Push the safety all the way back covering the red dot. (Fig. 2A) The safety is
not “ON SAFE” unless it is pushed all the way back covering the red dot and lined up with the “S“.
Like all mechanical devices, a softair gun safety can fail. Even when the safety is “ON SAFE”, you should continue to handle the softair
gun safely. NEVER point the softair gun at any person. NEVER point the air gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
2.2 To Take The Soft Air Gun “OFF SAFE”:
• Locate the safety on the left side of your soft air gun. Push the safety forward, exposing the red dot and lining up with the “F“ (Fig.
2B). When safety is in this position, the soft air gun is “OFF SAFE” and can be fired.

• While supporting the bottom of the grip with your hand to catch the magazine, press the
magazine release lever and remove the magazine from the bottom of the grip frame.
• NOTE: If the magazine contains a charged CO
2
cartridge, take special care in
handling. If you depress the button near the top of the magazine some CO
2
will be released.
• Place the black loading cap over the top of the magazine.
• Insert the larger white tube into the hole of the loading cap.
• Locate the BB guide (Fig 5) on the front of the clip. Pull the BB guide down and hold in place.
• Insert up to 25 BBs into the tube.
• Using the smaller white tube push the BBs into the magazine.
• Insert up to 25 more BBs and push into the magazine.

• Insert the loaded magazine back into the bottom of the grip frame until it clicks, indicating

4.2 Unloading by Firing

DIRECTION.
• Point the muzzle in a SAFE DIRECTION, take “OFF SAFE” (See Section 2.2) and pull the
trigger to fire.
• Repeat these steps until you are no longer firing plastic BBs.

• Holding the magazine, push each BB out being careful as they will have the spring force behind them.
IMPORTANT- Never attempt to unload the plastic BBs from the magazine until you have ensured the gas from the soft air gun and
magazine have been released.
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
• Always aim your soft air gun in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is
clear, cock the gun by pulling back on the cocking lever and releasing.
• Take the soft air gun “OFF SAFE” (See Section 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 gun.
• 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 gun 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 soft air gun is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned exactly in 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 bullseye should appear to rest on the top of the front sight
(Fig. 6).
6. Maintaining Your Soft Air Gun
• Tampering with the soft air gun or attempts to change the soft air gun 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 gun, 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 gun again.
7. Reviewing Safety
• Do not ever point the soft air gun at any person. Do not ever point the soft air gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Always treat the soft air gun 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 soft air gun pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always keep the soft air gun “ON SAFE” until you are ready to shoot in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always check to see if the soft air gun 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.
• Use 6 mm plastic BBs only.
• 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 gun.
• Replace the backstop if it becomes worn. Place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your soft air gun. Call Customer Service at Crosman Corporation for repair. Using
unauthorized repair centers or modifying the function for your airgun in any way may be unsafe and will void your warranty.
• Do not put the soft air gun away loaded. Make sure the soft air gun is uncharged and ALL of the plastic BBs are unloaded from the soft
air gun. (See Section 4.3)
