not intended to hit.

• 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.
• Your airgun is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is position 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 bulls-eye should appear to rest on the top of the front sight
(Fig. 5).

7. Maintaining Your Airgun
• Putting 1 drop of Crosman 0241 Pellgunoil ® on the tip of every CO
2
cylinder will help to maintain your airgun. DO NOT use petroleum distillate based oil or solvent and DO NOT
over-oil as this can cause damage to your airgun.
• 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,
especially to the eye 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.
