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.
WARNING: Keep the airgun in the “ON SAFE” position until you are actually ready to shoot.
3. Pumping the Airgun
WARNING:
Always hold the forearm firmly when pumping forearm to prevent possible injury.
WARNING: Never pump your airgun more than 10 times. Over-pumping can cause major
damage to your airgun. Pumping more than 10 times may also leave a small amount of air in the
airgun after it is fired which may allow you to fire a second shot without additional pumping.
• 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 10) 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.
Note: You must follow the procedure for pumping, loading and firing your airgun
each time you shoot.
4. Loading and Unloading/Firing BBs
4.1 Loading BBs
Your airgun gun was designed to work with Crosman branded ammunition. These include CROSMAN, COPPER-
HEAD, and BENJAMIN. Use of other ammunition may cause your gun to malfunction.
WARNING:
Use .177 (4.5mm) caliber BBs or pellets only in your airgun. Never reuse
pellets. Use of anyother ammunition can cause injury to you or damage to the airgun.
• Put the air gun “ON SAFE”. (See Section 2.1).
• Slide grip cap toward the rear of the airgun (Fig. 3).
• Pour no more than 200 BBs into the reservoir hole. Never put pellets in the reservoir hole because they will jam
the reservoir.
• Close grip cap
• Pull the BB follower stem back and latch in the notch. (Fig. 4)
• Point the barrel straight down.
• With a hand twisting motion, shake and twist the air gun (See Fig. 4) to fill the visual magazine.
• Take BB follower stem out of notch and release it to hold BBs in visual magazine.
• Cock the bolt by pulling it all the way back. The magnetic bolt will pick up a BB.
• Push the bolt all the way forward slowly and you will see the BB move through the port. (Fig.5) The BB is now in
a position to be fired out of the barrel.
4.2 Unloading/Firing the BBs
• The most common way to unload BBs is to fire your airgun in a SAFE DIREC-
TION after following Section 6 on aiming and firing safely.
• With the air gun “ON SAFE” (See Section 2.1), pump the air gun three times
(See Section 3) and cock the bolt by pulling it all the way back and pushing
• it forward.
• Take the air gun “OFF SAFE” (See Section 2.2), point the air gun in a SAFE
DIRECTION and pull the trigger to fire.

• Pull the BB follower stem back and latch in the notch
• Tilt the barrel upward.
• With a hand twisting motion, shake and twist the air gun until ALL of the BBs
are out of the visual magazine (Fig. 6).
• Check to see if there are any BBs in the visual magazine. If there are still BBs in
the magazine repeat the unloading procedure until the magazine is empty.
• Take the BB follower stem out of the notch and release it to block BBs from the visual magazine.
• Cock the bolt by pushing in while pulling all the way back.
• Pull the bolt all the way back and then push slowly forward noticing if there is a BB on the magnetic bolt.
• Pump the air gun (See Section 3).
• Point the air gun in a SAFE DIRECTION, take “OFF SAFE” (See Section 2.2) and fire. This will unload any BB
from the magnetic bolt.
• Repeat this unloading procedure until no BBs are visible on the magnetic bolt.
• Another way of unloading the air gun is to follow the directions listed under Section 7. - Removing a Jammed
BB or Pellet.
5. Loading and Unloading Pellets
5.1 Loading a pellet (use .177 caliber pellets only)

6. Aiming and Firing Safely
6.1 Aiming the Airgun
• Always point your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Follow the instructions for pumping (Section 3) and loading BB (Section 4.1) or pellets (Section 5.1)
• 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 BB or 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. 8)
• 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.
NOTE: You must follow the procedure for pumping, loading and firing your airgun each time you shoot. (see Sec-
tions 3-5)
6.2 Sight Adjustment
The rear sight may be adjusted to shoot higher or lower (elevation). When moving the elevator, slightly lift the rear
sight and reset it on the desired notch in the elevator. (Fig. 9) Move the rear sight elevator back to make the BB or
pellet hit higher on the target. Move the rear sight elevator forward to make the BB or pellet hit lower on the target.
make the BB or pellet hit lower on the target. The rear sight may also be adjusted to shoot right or left (windage).
Loosen the windage adjustment screws by turning them counterclockwise. Move the sight to the right to make
the BB or pellet hit to the right on the target. Move the sight to the left to make the BB or pellet hit to the left of the
target. Then tighten the windage adjustment screws by turning them clockwise. (Fig. 10)
7. Removing a Jammed BB or Pellet
• Do not reload the air gun.
• Point the airgun in a safe direction.
• Put the airgun “ON SAFE”.
• Unload the BBs from the visual magazine
(See Section 4.2).
• With the airgun “ON SAFE”, open the bolt by pulling it all
the way back, insert a .177 caliber ramrod into the barrel
and carefully push the jammed pellet or BB into the load-
ing port. Do not try to reuse that pellet or BB. (Fig. 11)
• If you are not able to unjam your air gun by following the unloading
procedure, take no further action. An Authorized Service Station will
unjam your air gun (at no cost during the warranty period).
8. 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 pivot
pins and the pump cup in the pump mechanism. (Fig 12) DO NOT
use petroleum distillate based oil or solvent and DO NOT over-oil as
this can cause damage to your gun.
• 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, 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 worn out or broken parts. Call Crosman customer
service for assistance before using your airgun again.
9. 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 .177 caliber (4.5 mm) BBs only. Never reuse ammunition.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The BB 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.
• Before you store your airgun, make sure that it is unloaded, not charged, and that the airgun is “ON SAFE.”
