A. To Put the Air pistol “ON SAFE”
1.
Push the safety in and slide all the way forward toward the “S” for “ON SAFE”.
2. The safety is in the SAFE position and the air pistol is “ON SAFE” when the RED indicator is NOT
showing (Fig. 2A).
B. To Put the Air pistol “OFF SAFE”
1.
Push the safety in and slide all the way back toward the “F” for FIRE or “OFF SAFE.”
2. The safety is in the FIRE positon and “OFF SAFE” when the RED indicator is showing.
KEEP THE AIR PISTOL IN THE “ON SAFE” POSITION UNTIL YOU ARE ACTU
ALLY READY TO SHOOT. THEN PUSH THE SAFETY TO THE “OFF SAFE” POSITION.
4. INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE CO
2
CARTRIDGE
• CO
2
CARTRIDGE MAY EXPLODE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 120°F 48.9°C. DO NOT MUTILATE OR
INCINERATE THEM. DO NOT EXPOSE THEM TO HEAT OR STORE CO
2
CARTRIDGES AT TEMPERA
TURES ABOVE 120°F 48.9°C.
• ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE CO
2
CARTRIDGE IS EMPTY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE IT FROM
THE AIR PISTOL BY SLOWLY TURNING THE WING COUNTERCLOCKWISE ALL THE WAY UNTIL YOU
NO LONGER HEAR THE ESCAPE OF CO
2
GAS.
• KEEP HANDS AND FACE AWAY FROM ESCAPING CO
2
GAS. IT CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE IF ALLOWED
TO COME IN CONTACT WITH SKIN.
CAUTION:
• We recommend the use of Crosman Powerlet
®
CO
2
cartridges. They are made to t your air pistol. Other
brands of CO
2
cartridges may not t properly and may result in injury to you or damage to your air pistol.
• Do not store your air pistol with a CO
2
cartridge in it. Doing so can cause damage to the air pistol seal.
A. Installing a New CO
2
Cartridge
1.
Put the air pistol “ON SAFE” (Fig. 2A).
2. Make sure the air pistol is UNLOADED and POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
3. With your hand under the magazine, push the magazine release button to remove
the magazine.
4. Remove the grip cover from the air pistol. Depending on your specic model, you will either
need to lift it at the indentation on the bottom of the grip (Fig. 3A) or slide the grip plate back
to open (Fig. 3B).
5. Turn the piercing wing counter-clockwise to remove tension and allow for clearance of the
CO
2
cartridge (Fig. 4).
6. Put 1 drop of Crosman 0241 Pellgunoil on the tip of every CO
2
cartridge in order to properly
maintain the air pistol seal.
7. Insert a new CO
2
cartridge into the air pistol, small neck rst, pointing toward the piercing
assembly (Fig. 5).
8. With your thumb and forenger, turn the piercing wing clockwise until it pierces the CO
2
cartridge. If you hear a hissing sound when piercing the cartridge, try tightening the wing
slightly more. Be careful not to over-tighten when piercing. Over-tightening the CO
2
cartridge
can cause injury to you or damage to your air pistol.
9. Replace the grips by either inserting the top of the grip rst and pushing the grip down to
close or sliding the grip back in place (depending on your specic model).
10. To make sure the cartridge has been pierced, point the gun in a SAFE DIRECTION, take “OFF SAFE” and pull the trigger. If the air
pistol does not make a popping noise after pulling the trigger, the CO
2
is not being discharged. In that event, remove the grips and
tighten the piercing wing a little more. Point the air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION, and pull the trigger until there is a popping noise,
which means the air pistol is releasing CO
2
with each pull of the trigger.
11. Slide the magazine into the grip and snap in place.
B. Removing the CO
2
Cartridge
1.
Put the air pistol “ON SAFE” (Fig. 2A).
2. Make sure the air pistol is UNLOADED and POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
3. With your hand under the magazine, push the magazine release button to remove the magazine.
4. Remove the grip covers (See Section 4A).
5. Slowly turn the piercing wing counter-clockwise to release any remaining CO
2
, being careful not to come in contact with the escaping gas.
6. Tip out the empty cartridge. It may be cold to the touch.
7. For proper storage, use the piercing wing to tighten the piercing knob enough so the grips can be replaced.
REMEMBER: Keep hands and face away from escaping CO
2
gas. It can cause frostbite if allowed to come in contact with skin.
