• 2.1 To Put the soft air gun “ON SAFE:”
• Locate the safety on the right side of the gun
directly behind the bolt.
• Push the safety all the way back toward the
“S” for ON SAFE. (Fig. 2A). The safety is not “ON
SAFE” unless it is pushed all the way back 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.
2.2. To Take the soft air gun “OFF SAFE”:
• Push the safety all the way forward toward the “F” for fire. When the safety is in the “F” position, the airgun is
“OFF SAFE” and can be fired. (Fig 2B)
3. Assembling your Soft Air Rifle
3.1. Assembling the stock and action
• Make sure the soft air rifle is “ON SAFE” (Sec. 2.1).
• NOTE: Locate the two screws and hex wrench in the plastic bag. These items will be used to attach assembly A
(the barrel and action ) to assembly B (stock) .
Using the screws in the wrong location will casue damage to the product and may make it unsafe.
• Install assembly A (the barrel and action) into assembly B (stock) as in Fig 3.
• Insert the longer screw into the hole in the middle of the stock and tighten with
the hex wrench.
• Insert the shorter screw into the hole in the front of the stock and tighten with hex
wrench.
• Locate the screw on the back of the trigger guard and tighten with the wrench.
3.2 Adjusting the length of the Butt Pad
The length of the soft air rifle can be extended by installing up to 3 stackable butt spacers. Each butt spacer is 3/8
inch in length.
• Remove the butt pad by loosening the 2 locking screws (Fig. 4)
• Choose the number of butt spacers you want to use and stack the butt spacers on
the back of the stock.
• Place the butt pad on top of the stack of butt spacers.
• Install and tighten the two locking screws.

• Repeat these steps until you are no longer firing plastic BBs.
• Put the airgun back “ON SAFE“.
WARNING: Never assume that because the soft air gun no longer fires a plastic BB and/or the magazine is re-
moved, that a plastic 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.
5. Cocking Your Soft air rifle
WARNING: Always hold the bolt firmly when you cock it to prevent possible injury.
• Put the soft air rifle “ON SAFE”. (See Step 2A)
• Holding the rifle firmly, pull the bolt up and all the way back. Use a straight stroke
to prevent breakage (Fig. 6)
• Return the bolt to the original closed position with a smooth stroke. Be sure to
hold the rifle firmly as you close the bolt.
NOTE: You must follow the procedure for cocking and firing your airgun each time you shoot.
6. Adjusting the Hop Up
Your soft air gun is manufactured with a hop-up system. The purpose of this airgun is to change the spin on the BB
as it leaves the muzzle allowing you to adapt your shot for differnet distances.
• Locate the hop-up switch at the left side of the foregrip.
• Slide the hop-up adjustment switch to the desired position.
• After you finish reading the manual and have fired a few shots, watch the trajectory.
You may want to adjust the Hop Up again.
7 Aiming and Firing Safely
7.1 Aiming and Firing Safely
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses or goggles designed
for soft air to protect your eyes.
• Always aim your soft air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area
around the target is clear, cock the soft air rifle (see sec. 4), take “OFF SAFE” (see sec 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 some-
one 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 rifle.
• 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 rifle 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, or if the plastic BB richochets.
7.2 Firing
• Make sure the soft air rifle is “ON SAFE” (See Step 2.1).
• Point the soft air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Follow section 5 on cocking the soft air gun and section 4 on loading.
• After reading section 7 on aiming and firing safely, take the gun“OFF SAFE“ and pull the trigger.
8. Maintaining Your Soft Air Rifle
• Tampering with the soft air rifle or attempts to change the soft air rifle 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 rifle, 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 rifle again.
