1. Learning the Parts of Your New Airgun.
Learning the names of the parts of your new airgun will help you to understand your owner's manual. Use this manual to increase your
enjoyment of this airgun.
2. Operating the Safety
2.1 To Put the Airgun "ON SAFE":
• Locate the safety directly in front
of the trigger.
• Pull safety back toward trigger.
• Even when the safety is on, you
should continue to handle the rifle
safely. Don't point the gun at any-
thing you don't intend to shoot.
Like all mechanical devices, an airgun safety can fail. Even when the safety is "On Safe", you should continue to handle the air-
gun 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":
• To take the air rifle "OFF SAFE," push the safety to the forward position (away from the trigger). When the air rifle is "OFF SAFE" it is
ready to be fired. (Fig. 2)
CAUTION: Do not fire your air rifle without a pellet in the chamber (dry fire). This may permanently damage your air rifle.
3. Adjusting the Trigger
• This airgun is supplied with a trigger with an adjusting screw for adjustment of the sec-
ond stage length
NOTE: This feature is added for advanced shooters. Most shooters can use the settings
provided during manufacturing of the gun, and should not need to make any modifica-
tions.
• Be sure the air rifle is "ON SAFE", unloaded and not cocked.
• To reduce the second stage length, rotate the screw clockwise.
• To increase the second stage length, rotate the screw counterclockwise.
4. Cocking and Loading Your AirRifle
4.1 Cocking Your Air Rifle
Do not cock your rifle until you are ready to load and fire, since the only way to uncock your air rifle is to fire it. Firing your gun
without a pellet in the chamber (dry firing) may cause damage to your air rifle.
• Put the air rifle "On Safe". (See Section 2.1).
• Point the airgun in a safe direction.
• Grasp the air rifle by the rifle grip with one hand and place your other hand around the barrel.
• Pull the barrel downward to the stop (Fig. 4A). Do not pull past this point and do not use excessive force or speed when cocking your
air rifle.
• Some find it easier to cock the air rifle when bracing the butt of the rifle against your leg (Fig. 4B).
• Be careful not to pinch your hand or fingers in the hinge area of the air rifle.
4.2
Loading Your Air Rifle
• With the barrel in the open position, after it has been cocked, place one pellet, nose forward, into the breech (Fig. 5). Make sure that
the skirt of the pellet is flush with face of breech.
• Move the barrel back to its original position by pushing the barrel up until it locks (Fig. 6). Once again, be careful not to
pinch your hands or fingers. Be sure the rifle is "ON SAFE" and pointed in a safe direction.

4.3 Unloading Your Air Rifle
Do not cock and load your air rifle until you are ready to shoot since the only way to decock your air rifle is to fire it in a safe direction.
REMEMBER, choose your targets carefully and be sure that the area around the target is clear. THINK what you will hit if you miss the
target! Do not store your air rifle cocked or loaded.
CAUTION: Use .22 caliber pellets only. Never reuse ammunition. Use of any other ammunition can cause injury to you or damage to the
air rifle.
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
5.1 Aiming and Firing the Air Rifle
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
• Always aim your air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is
clear, take the air rifle "OFF SAFE" (See SECTION 2.2) and squeeze the trigger to fire.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or something you had
not intended to hit.
• Always choose your target carefully. It is best to shoot at paper bull's-eye targets which are attached to a safe backstop. A heavy blan-
ket should be hung behind the backstop to prevent ricochet should you miss the 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 air rifle is designed for target shooting. Always remember to place your target carefully. THINK about what you will hit if you miss
the target.
• The air rifle is correctly aimed when the front sight is positioned 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 bull's-eye should appear to rest on the top of the front sight (Fig. 7).
• 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.
5.2 Sight Adjustment
• Elevation is set by means of the rear sight-elevating dial situated on the rear sight base. Turn the dial counterclockwise to make the
pellet hit higher on the target and turn the dial clockwise to make the pellet hit lower on the target. (Fig. 8)
• Windage is set by turning the windage dial located on the right side of the sight. Turn the dial counterclockwise to make the pellet hit to
the left on the target and turn the dial clockwise to make the pellet hit to the right on the target. (Fig. 8)
6. Removing a Jammed Pellet
• Put your airgun "ON SAFE" (Section 2).
• Do not reload the air rifle if a pellet is jammed.
• Break the barrel open slightly (without pulling the barrel all the
way down to the point that it cocks the action) and look down the
breech to see if the gun is jammed.
• If it is jammed, insert a cleaning rod into the breech and push the
jammed pellet out of the muzzle. Don't try to reuse that pellet
(Fig. 9)
CAUTION: Do not cock the air rifle during the removal of a jammed
pellet unless you plan on continuing to shoot.
• Remember; do not fire your air rifle without a pellet in the cham-
ber (dry fire). This may permanently damage your air rifle.
• Do not leave the rifle cocked. This will weaken the main spring and cause damage to your airgun.
• If you are not able to unjam your airgun by following the unloading procedure, take no further action. An Authorized Service Station will
unjam your airgun (no cost during the warranty period).
7. Maintaining Your Airgun
To ensure that your air rifle maintains uniform power, it is important that you apply a drop of
Crosman RMCOIL every few hundred shots into the compression chamber. (Fig.10). The
external parts should be cleaned with a cloth that has RMCOIL on it.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to disassemble your airgun. Take it to your nearest authorized
service station.
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.
CAUTION: Use Crosman RMCOIL only and do not over-oil. To do so can cause possible
damage to the gun and injury to the shooter and bystanders.
8. 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 the proper size pellet for your airgun ( .22 caliber or 5.5 mm).
• Never reuse ammunition.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet 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.
• Always keep your CrosBlock® trigger block in place when storing this airgun. Store airgun in a secure location. (See CrosBlock
instructions packaged with this airgun for assistance)
• Before you store your airgun, make sure that it is unloaded, not charged, and that the airgun is "On Safe."
