• Locate the safety on the left side of the receiver. (Fig. 2)
• Push the lever to the semi-auto fire or full-auto fire position.

• Point the soft air gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Locate the forearm locking tab and push it up toward the barrel. With the other hand
push the forearm forward and out (Fig. 6).
• Disconnect the wire socket by pushing the clip on the gun portion and separating the
connectors.
• Remove the battery
5. Charging the battery
• Your soft air gun comes with a battery charger to help prolong the life of the battery.
• To remove the battery, follow section 5.
• Plug the white connector on the battery into the connector on the battery charger.
• Plug the charger in to a standard 110 outlet.
NOTE: The battery charging time is a MINIMUM of 4 hours and a MAXIMUM of 6 hours. DO NOT OVERCHARGE
THE BATTERY
6. Installing/Replacing the Battery
• Make sure the soft air gun is "ON SAFE" (section 2A) and the magazine is
removed (section 3B).
• Point the soft air gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• If the forearm is not already removed follow section 5 to remove.
• Using a table or other flat surface and keeping the gun pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION
insert the battery into the forearm so that the wire end is hanging out (Fig. 7)
• Connect the wire socket of the battery to the socket of the gun and tuck inside the
forearm.
• Put the forearm back on by lining up the tabs with the slots on the gun.
• Slide the forearm back.
• Raise and hold the forearm locking tab up and push the forearm on to the gun until it locks in place.
7. Selecting the Hop-Up Mode
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" (section 2A) and the magazine is removed
(section 3B).
• Point the soft air gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Pull the cocking lever back and lock in place (Fig. 8). This will expose the hop up dial
on the right side of the gun.
• Turn the white dial up for more BB spin, move down for less spin.
• Release the lever.
8. Aiming and Firing Safely
NOTE: This soft air gun fires in semi or full-auto modes. Full-auto means it will continue to fire plastic BBs as long as
you hold the trigger. Semi-auto means you will have to pull the trigger each time you want to fire a shot.
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
• Always point your soft air gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• 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 re-use those plastic BBs because they could possibly cause
damage to your soft air gun.
• 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.
• When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, take
the soft air gun "OFF SAFE" (section 2A) and pull the trigger to fire.
To adjust the sights
• Your rear sight has two peep sight settings and two notched sight settings. To select
your preference, simply turn the rear sight until it clicks into the desired position.
• The soft air gun is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned exactly in the
center of the notch or peep of the rear sight. The top of the front sight blade should be
even with the top of the notch or peep in the rear sight. The bulls-eye should appear to
rest on the top of the front sight (fig. 9).
• To adjust for windage (left or right) loosen the sight screw on top of the rear sight. Do not
remove the screw, loosen just enough for the sight to have a little play in it. With the gun
pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION, position as shown in figure 10. Turn the windage screw on
the side of the sight to the left (counter-clockwise) to move the point of impact to the left. Turn
the windage screw to the right (clockwise) to move the point of impact to the right.
• Tighten the sight screw to lock in the setting.
9. Maintaining Your Soft Air Gun
• Periodically your soft air gun will require fine tuning and you will need to tighten the screw under the pistol
grip. This is regular maintenance and will help keep your soft air gun working properly.
• DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER 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, may cause serious injury and will void the
warranty.
• If you drop your soft air gun, 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 parts are worn out or broken. Call Customer
Service at Crosman for assistance before using your soft air gun again.
10. 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.
• 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 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 airgun. Use an Authorized Service Station.
• DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER YOUR SOFT AIR GUN. Attempts to modify the soft air gun in any way may make
your soft air gun unsafe to use, cause serious injury or death and will void the warranty.
• Using unauthorized repair centers or modifying the function of your soft air gun in any way may be unsafe
and will void your warranty.
