A. To put the soft air gun “ON SAFE”
• Locate the safety on the left side of the soft air gun.
• Push the safety until it is lined up with word “SAFE” for “ON SAFE. (Fig 2A). The safety is not “ON SAFE”
unless it is pushed all the way to the word “SAFE”.
WARNING:
Keep the soft air gun in the “ON SAFE” position until you are actu-
ally ready to shoot. Then turn the safety to the “OFF SAFE” position.
Like all mechanical devices, a soft air gun safety can fail. Even when the safety
is “ON SAFE”, you should continue to handle the soft air gun safely. NEVER
point the soft air gun at any person. NEVER point the soft air gun at anything
you do not intend to shoot.
B. To Take the Soft Air Gun “OFF SAFE”
NOTE: This soft air gun fires in auto-mode only. This means it will continue to
fire plastic BBs as long as you hold the trigger.
• Locate the safety on the left side of the soft air gun.
• Turn the safety so it is pointing to one of the “AUTO” positions for “OFF
SAFE”. (Fig 2B). The safety is “OFF SAFE” when it is pushed to one of
the “AUTO” positions, and can be fired.

Before installing, adjusting or removing accessories make sure your gun is “ON
SAFE” (see section 2A).

into place.

• Make sure the soft air gun is “ON SAFE” (section 2A)
and pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.

• With the small end toward the rear of the gun, place the loading chamber on the top rail, lining up the
arrows on the gun with the arrows on the loader.
• Tighten the mounting screws.

• Fill the chamber with 6mm BBs and slide the door closed.

• Point the soft air gun in a SAFE DIRECTION, take “OFF SAFE” and fire the gun in a safe direction until
no more BBs fire.
• Put the soft air gun back “ON SAFE”.
WARNING: Never assume that because the soft air gun no longer fires a BB
and/or the loading chamber is removed, that a BB is not lodged in the barrel.
Always treat the soft air gun as though it is loaded and with the same respect you
would a firearm.

• Your soft air gun is designed for target shooting and is suited for both indoor and outdoor use. Always

soft air gun following sections 3 and 4. Take the soft air gun “OFF SAFE” (section 2A) aim and pull the
trigger to fire.

the soft air gun in any way may make it unsafe to use, may cause serious injury or death 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.
