1 .Safety First
• ALWAYS treat the airgun as though it is loaded and ready to re and with the same respect you
would a rearm.
• ALWAYS store the airgun unloaded.
• ALWAYS store the airgun away from children.
• ALWAYS aim in a SAFE DIRECTION – DO NOT point the airgun at any person or at anything you do
not intend to shoot.
• ALWAYS keep the muzzle of the airgun pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• ALWAYS keep your nger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot.
• ALWAYS keep the airgun “ON SAFE” until you are ready to shoot (see section 3A).
• ALWAYS check to see if the airgun is “ON SAFE” (see section 3A) and unloaded when getting it from
another person.
• ALWAYS have you and others wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
• ALWAYS wear shooting glasses over eye glasses if your reading or prescription glasses are not
safety glasses.
• ALWAYS place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail.
• ALWAYS check your backstop 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 rico-
chet occurs.
• ALWAYS use the proper size BB in your airgun. Check the markings on your airgun to verify the
BB size.
• NEVER reuse ammunition.
• NEVER 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.
• NEVER attempt to disassemble or tamper with your airgun.
• Use an Authorized Service Station, using unauthorized service or repair centers, or modifying the
function of your airgun in any way, may be unsafe and will void your warranty.
• NEVER point the airgun at any person. NEVER point the airgun at anything you do not intend
to shoot.

4 Installing and Removing the CO
2
Cartridge
A. Installing a New CO
2
Cartridge
Keep hands away from escaping CO
2
gas. Escaping CO
2
gas can cause frostbite if allowed
to come in contact with skin. Always make sure the CO
2
cartridge is empty before attempting to remove it
from the airgun by slowly turning the knob counter-clockwise all the way until you no longer hear the escape
of CO
2
gas.
CAUTION: We recommend the use of CROSMAN
®
POWERLET
®
CO
2
cartridges. They
are made to t your airgun. Other brands of CO
2
cartridges may not t properly and if you
force them into place it may result in injury to you or damage to your airgun. Never try to
force any CO
2
cartridge into or out of place. Do not store your airgun with a CO
2
cartridge
in it. (This is very important to remember, as it will prolong the longevity of your airgun
seals.) (See Steps 4A & 4B).
• Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (see Section 3A).
• Make sure the airgun is POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
• With your hand under the magazine, push the magazine release button and remove
the magazine.
• Remove the grip cover from the left side of the airgun, using your thumbnail, by lifting it
at the indentation on the bottom of the grip.
• Remove piercing wrench by sliding down and away.
• Using the piercing wrench provided, turn the piercing screw counter- clockwise to
remove tension and remove the old POWERLET
®
CO
2
cartridge.
• Insert a new CO
2
cartridge into the airgun with the small neck of the cartridge rst and pointing toward the
piercing assembly (Fig. 3).
• Using the piercing wrench, tighten the piercing screw by turning it clockwise. If you hear a hissing sound when
piercing the cartridge, try tightening the screw slightly more.
• Replace the piercing wrench in the bottom of the grip.
• Line the grip cover up by inserting the top of the grip rst and push the grip down to close. Slide the magazine
into the grip and snap in place.
• To make sure the cartridge has been pierced, point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION, push the safety in and
slide all the way toward the “F” for “OFF SAFE” or “FIRE”.
• If the airgun does not make a popping noise after pulling the trigger, the CO
2
is not being discharged. In that
event, tighten the piercing lever a little more, point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION and pull the trigger until
there is a popping noise, which will mean the airgun is releasing CO
2
with each pull of the trigger.
IMPORTANT: Do not store your airgun with the CO
2
cartridge in it. If you know you will not be using your
airgun for an extended period of time, empty the CO
2
cartridge and remove it from the airgun. This is very
important to remember, as it will prolong the longevity of your airgun.
B. Removing the CO
2
Cartridge
Keep hands away from escaping CO
2
gas, CO
2
gas is extremely cold when released and
It can cause frostbite if allowed to come in contact with skin. Always make sure the CO
2
cartridge is empty
before attempting to remove it from the airgun by slowly turning the knob counter-clockwise all the way until
you no longer hear the escape of CO
2
gas.
• Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (See Step 3A).
• Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• With your hand under the magazine, push the magazine release button and remove the magazine.
• Remove the grip cover from the left side of the airgun, using your thumbnail, by lifting it at the indentation on
the bottom of the grip.
• Remove piercing wrench by sliding down and away.
• Use one hand to hold the gun at the top of the slide, being sure not to cover the muzzle.
• Loosen the piercing screw by slowly turning it left using the piercing wrench provided, allowing any remaining
gas to escape.
• Tip out the empty cartridge. REMEMBER- It may be cold to the touch.
• For proper storage, use the piercing wrench provided to tighten the piercing knob enough so that the wrench
will slip inside the grip.

• Aim the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION; insert the magazine into gun, take it “OFF SAFE” (see Step 2B) and re.
• Repeat this procedure several times until you are sure you are no longer ring BBs.
CAUTION: For gas blowback (GBB) version airguns ; the slide will remain in the rear position when the magazine
is empty. The slide can be released by pushing down on the slide release lever. BEFORE RELEASING THE SLIDE,
MAKE SURE FINGERS ARE MOVED AWAY FROM THE SLIDE AND NOTHING CAN BE PINCHED BY THE SLIDE.
6. Sighting the Gun
• The airgun is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned in the notch of
the rear sight. (Fig. 5)
• 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.
• When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is
clear, take the airgun “OFF SAFE” (see section 3B) and pull the trigger to re.
7. Maintaining Your Airgun
A. General
• Put 1 drop of Crosman 0241 Pellgunoil
®
on the tip of every CO
2
cylinder 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 or death, and will void the warranty.
• If you drop your airgun, visually inspect for damage 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.
B. Clearing a Jam
• Never look down the barrel to see if a jam has been cleared.
• Make sure the airgun is ‘ON SAFE” and pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Remove magazine.
• Insert the tapered end of the cleaning rod (rod not included) into the barrel.
• CAREFULLY and slowly apply more pressure until you push the BB out of the breech.
• Reinstall the magazine and test gun.
• If you are not able to unjam your airgun by following the procedure above, take no further action. An authorized
service station will unjam your airgun at no cost during the warranty period.
