2. Operating the Safety
A. To Put the Airgun “ON SAFE:”
Locate the safety in front of the trigger. •
The letters “F” (fire) and “S” (safe) on the bottom of the •
trigger guard also indicate the appropriate position of the
safety (Fig 2A).
Push the safety towards the trigger to put the safety on. •
The safety is on, and the airgun is “ON SAFE” when the
lever is in the rear position (near the trigger). (Fig. 2B)
Even when the safety is on, you should continue to handle the
airgun safely. Don’t point the gun at anything 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 airgun safely. NEVER point the airgun at any person. NEVER
point the airgun at anything you do not intend to shoot
B. To Take the Airgun “OFF SAFE”
Push the safety to the forward position (away from the trig-•
ger). When the airgun is “OFF SAFE” it is ready to be fired
after following the instructions in this manual on how to fill
and load. (Fig. 2C)
3. Pressurizing the Airgun
This airgun is designed for use at pressures between 2,000 and
3,000 psi depending on how you, as the user, adjust (tune) the
gun to work.
WARNING:
Use only compressed air in this airgun. When using Crosman’s optional
CO
2
adapter you may use CO
2
. Use no other gasses—including oxygen, which can cause a
fire or explosion that may result in serious injury or death.
A. Pressurizing (Filling) the Airgun with a Hand Pump
Be sure to wear eye protection•
Make sure the airgun is unloaded and not cocked. (See •
section 6 for instructions on unloading and un-cocking.)
Read all instructions with your hand pump so you are famil-•
iar with its operation. Use only a pump designed for filling a
pre-charged airgun and outfitted with a Foster #12FS quick
disconnect fitting. Do not use a standard air compressor or
bicycle pump.
Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (see section 2A).•
Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.•
Remove the threaded cap that covers the fill nipple on the airgun by turning •
counter-clockwise.
Connect the quick-disconnect fitting on the hand pump hose to the fill nipple (fig. 3)•
Make certain the bleed valve on the hand pump is fully closed (tighten in a •
clockwise direction) (fig.4).
Start pumping and continue until the gauge needles on your pump and on the •
airgun are between 2000 psi and 3000 psi depending on your desired tune.
DO NOT fill the airgun to more than 3000 psi. See “Overfill” information section 3C.
WARNING:
Disconnecting the fill hose from the airgun without bleeding the air first
may result in injury from hose whip as a result of pressure in the fill hose.
Open the bleed screw on the pump base rapidly in a counter-clockwise direction to COMPLETELY bleed •
the hose. You must bleed the fill hose COMPLETELY to avoid hose whip from pressure in the fill hose.
Disconnect the pump from the fill nipple on the gun•
Replace the cap over the fill nipple and tighten. Always keep the fill nipple capped to eliminate the pos-•
sibility of dirt entering the check valve.
