Important Safety Information
YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OR OLDER TO BUY ANY AIR GUN OR AIR RIFLE. Always treat an airgun as if it were loaded. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction. Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. Always be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Setup
1. Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the air rifle for any signs of damage. Ensure all included components (air rifle, 4x15 scope, safety glasses) are present.
2. Attaching the Scope
- Locate the integrated dovetail rail on top of the receiver.
- Attach the 4x15 scope using the provided mounts. Ensure the scope is securely fastened and aligned.
- Adjust the scope for proper eye relief and a clear sight picture.
3. Initial Lubrication
Before first use, apply a small amount of non-petroleum-based airgun oil to the pumping mechanism and any moving parts as indicated in the detailed product diagram (not provided in this manual, refer to manufacturer's full guide). Avoid using WD-40 or other petroleum-based lubricants as they can damage seals.
Operating Instructions
1. Loading BBs
- Ensure the safety is engaged.
- Open the BB loading port, typically located on the side of the receiver.
- Pour up to 850 steel BBs into the reservoir.
- Close the loading port.
- To load a BB into the chamber, pull back the bolt and push it forward. The spring-loaded 17-round magazine will feed BBs into the chamber.
2. Loading Pellets
- Ensure the safety is engaged.
- Pull back the bolt to expose the side-loading pellet chamber.
- Insert a single .177-caliber pellet (e.g., Crosman Premier Hollow Point) into the chamber.
- Push the bolt forward to seat the pellet.
3. Pumping the Air Rifle
- Grasp the forearm firmly.
- Pump the forearm downwards and then back up. This action compresses air into the chamber.
- For optimal power, pump the rifle between 3 and 10 times. Do not exceed 11-12 pumps to prevent damage to the mechanism.
4. Firing the Air Rifle
- With the rifle loaded and pumped, aim at a safe target.
- Disengage the crossbolt safety (push to the 'Fire' position).
- Gently squeeze the trigger to fire.
- After firing, engage the safety immediately.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Barrel
Regularly clean the barrel to maintain accuracy. Use a .177 caliber cleaning kit with appropriate cleaning patches and non-petroleum-based cleaning solvent. Follow the cleaning kit instructions.
2. Lubrication
Apply a few drops of non-petroleum-based airgun oil to the pivot points and pumping mechanism periodically. This helps ensure smooth operation and prolongs the life of the air rifle. Avoid over-lubrication.
3. Storage
Store the air rifle in a safe, dry place, unloaded and with the safety engaged. Keep it out of reach of children and unauthorized users. Consider using a gun case for protection.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low velocity or inconsistent shots | Insufficient pumping, worn seals, improper ammunition. | Ensure adequate pumps (3-10). Check for air leaks. Use recommended .177 caliber pellets or steel BBs. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Ammunition not loading | Obstruction in loading port, incorrect ammunition size, damaged magazine (for BBs). | Clear any obstructions. Ensure correct .177 caliber ammunition. Inspect BB magazine for damage. |
| Scope not accurate | Scope not properly sighted in, loose mounts, damaged scope. | Re-sight the scope. Check that scope mounts are tight. If scope is damaged, consider replacement. |
| Pumping mechanism feels stiff or makes unusual noises | Lack of lubrication, foreign debris, internal wear. | Apply airgun oil to moving parts. Inspect for debris. If severe, contact customer support. |
| Stock or forearm damage | Improper handling during pumping or transport. | Always support the rifle properly when pumping. Avoid excessive force. For significant damage, contact Crosman for repair options. |
