I. Trigger guard  J. Barrel  K. Muzzle  L. Stock

Your new airgun is unique because it operates on either air or CO2. To fill and shoot with CO2, an optional CO2 fill adapter must
be purchased. This owner’s manual describes operating the gun with air, only. The manual that comes with Crosman’s CO2
adapter describes operation on CO2.
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 indi-
	cate the appropriate position of the safety.
	••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. 2A)	Safe On
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		2A
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 trigger). 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. 2B)

3. Pressurizing the Airgun

NOTE: Operation instructions for CO2 operation are contained in the manual that comes with the CO2 adapter.

USE ONLY COMPRESSED AIR IN THIS AIRGUN. WHEN USING CROSMAN’S OPTIONAL CO2 ADAPTER YOU MAY USE CO2. 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 5 for instruc-
tions on unloading and un-cocking.)
••Read all instructions with your hand pump so you are familiar with its opera-
tion. 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 com-
pressor or bicycle pump.
••Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (see section 2A).		Safe Off
••Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
••Pull off the protective cap that covers the fill nipple on the airgun.				2B
••Connect the quick-disconnect fitting on the hand pump hose to the fill nipple
(fig. 3) by
o Pulling back and holding the knurled ring
o Connecting the fitting over the fill nipple.
o Releasing the knurled ring.
••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 1000 psi and
2000 psi depending on your desired tune.
DO NOT fill the air gun to more than 2000 psi (138 bar). See				3
“Overfill” information (section 3C).

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. Always keep the fill nipple capped to eliminate the
B.	possibility of dirt entering the check valve.
	Pressurizing (Filling) the Airgun with a High Pressure Tank
The CH2009 may be filled from a high pressure tank (bottle). Scuba tanks and other high pressure
tanks can be outfitted for the task. Make certain that only clean, dry, compressed air is used in
your filling apparatus. A reputable dive shop or paintball shop is best suited to fill and service			4
tanks and bottles used for filling your PCP airgun.
	••Be sure to wear eye protection
	••Make sure the airgun is unloaded and not cocked. (See section 5 for instruc-
	tions on unloading and un-cocking.)
	••Read all instructions with your tank and hose adaptor so you are familiar with
	its operation.
	••Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (see section 2A).
	••Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
	••Remove the protective cap that covers the fill nipple on the airgun.
	••Connect the quick-disconnect fitting on the tank’s hose to the fill nipple (fig. 3).
NOTE: the fitting must be a Foster #12FS quick disconnect fitting.
	••Slowly open the valve on your tank and start filling the gun SLOWLY. Filling too		5
	quickly will cause heat buildup that can affect accuracy of the fill pressure.
	••Watch the gauges on the airgun and your tank (if equipped) until the desired
	pressure is reached (1000-2000 psi)

DO NOT fill the airgun to more than 2000 psi. See “Overfill” information in section 3C.

••Turn the valve on your tank off when the desired fill pressure is reached.

••Follow instructions with your tank and hose to BLEED the fill hose COMPLETELY to avoid hose whip from pressure in the fill hose

••Disconnect the tank’s fill hose from the fill nipple on the airgun.

••Replace the cap over the fill nipple and tighten. Always keep the fill nipple capped to eliminate the possibility of dirt entering the check valve.

TIP: If your airgun is being filled from completely empty (zero pressure) the tension of the hammer pressing against the valve may keep the valve open which will cause air to leak down the barrel. This is most likely to happen with a gun where the hammer spring is adjusted to a high rate. In the event this occurs try cocking the bolt and leaving it in the rear (fully open) position to eliminate the force on the valve allowing it to close. Always make certain the airgun is not loaded and there is not a pellet in the chamber.

C. Overfill:

••Over filling beyond the “as tuned” best fill pressure does not improve performance. It will actually lessen performance and may cause the valve to lock. If you discover that the airgun has been over filled, try to dry fire the airgun (cock and shoot with no pellet loaded) in a SAFE DIRECTION until pressure on your airgun drops to 2,000 psi or less depending on where your gun’s tuned best fill pressure is.

••If the airgun will not discharge air with each shot, the valve may be completely pressure locked and will require use of the degassing tool included with your airgun. Follow the instructions included with the degassing tool, or see section 4B on degassing tool method.

3	E N G L I S H

4.	Depressurizing the airgun:
Your CH2009 airgun, like most PCP airguns, is best stored with some pressure in the
reservoir. This keeps the seals in the airgun forced against the sealing surfaces. In the
event you want or need to depressurize (e.g. for service) follow the following steps:
A.	Dry Fire Method:
	••Keep the air rifle pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
	••Remove all the air from your air rifle by repeatedly cocking and dry-firing with
	the air rifle pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION until the pressure gauge on your
	airgun shows no pressure and air cannot be heard when the shot is fired.
	••Put the air gun “ON SAFE” see section 2A.
B.	Degassing tool method:	6
CAUTION: Failure to ensure the gun is NOT cocked when using the degassing tool
WILL cause damage to the sear mechanism in the trigger.
	••Make certain the airgun is not in the cocked position by:
	o Pointing the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
	o Closing the airgun bolt by sliding forward and latching.
	o Pulling the trigger.
Note: If you have raised your cheek piece, you may need to lower the cheek piece in
order to use the degassing tool.
	••Insert the degassing tool, (included with your CH2009), into the hammer
	spring adjustment knob as shown in figure 6.
	••Turn the tool in to the airgun in a clockwise direction until resistance is felt.	7
	This will indicate the nose of the tool has come in contact with the hammer.

PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WILL EXHAUST AIR FROM THE BARREL AT A HIGH RATE. MAKE CERTAIN THE AIRGUN IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

••Using an Allen wrench or screwdriver through the hole in the degassing tool apply leverage to turn the tool clockwise and force the internal valve open. This may require approximately 1-2 complete turns to totally degas the airgun.

••Remove the degassing tool completely from the airgun. Leaving the tool in the airgun will interfere with the normal operation of the firing mechanism.

••Cock the airgun and dry-fire (no pellet) in a SAFE DIRECTION to make certain all pressure has been relieved from the airgun

••Check the gauge to make certain all pressure has been relieved from the airgun.

5. Cocking, Loading, Unloading and Un-cocking the Airgun

USE .177 CALIBER PELLETS ONLY IN YOUR CH2009. NEVER REUSE AMMUNITION. USE OF ANY OTHER AMMUNITION CAN CAUSE INJURY TO YOU OR DAMAGE TO THE AIRGUN.

A. Cocking and Loading Pellets
••Put the airgun “ON SAFE.” (See Section 2A).
••Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
••Be sure your airgun is properly pressurized (see section 3).
••Open the bolt by pulling the bolt handle all the way back (fig 8).
••With the bolt in the rearward position, place one pellet, nose first, into the
loading port (breech). This is a single shot pellet airgun. Load no more than
one pellet at a time.
••Lightly push the pellet into the barrel by pushing the bolt handle all the way
forward to lock. DO NOT jam the bolt forward. This will damage your airgun.
••Be sure the bolt is completely closed and locked before firing. If it is not closed	8
and locked, the pellet may not be discharged.
B. Unloading Pellets and Un-cocking Your Air Gun
Unloading

••The most common way to unload a pellet is to fire your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION following the section on Aiming and Firing Safely. If a pellet has become lodged in the barrel follow the steps in section 8 removing a Jammed Pellet.

Un-cocking

••To un-cock the action, take the airgun “OFF SAFE.”With the muzzle pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION, open the bolt and pull all the way to the rear. Holding the bolt handle securely, pull the trigger with your other hand and ease the bolt as far forward as it will go with your hand. You may now release the bolt and the airgun is un-cocked.

••Put the airgun “ON SAFE”

6. Adjusting The Stock

••Your CH2009 is designed with a stock with an adjustable cheek piece and butt pad.

••Make sure the airgun is “ON SAFE.” (See Section 2A) and pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.

••Loosen the two clamp screws located below the cheek piece using a 5/32 Allen head wrench. (fig 9A)

••CHEEK PIECE: Pull up on the cheek piece to adjust for height. To adjust the cheek piece downward, place your hand on the top of the cheek piece only and push down, being careful not to pinch your fingers.

••BUTT PADHorizontal: Pull out on the butt pad to desired position. Tighten the clamp screws to lock into position.

7.Aiming and Firing Safely A. Aiming the Airgun

••Always point your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.

••Follow the instructions for filling the air gun (section 3A) and loading pellets (section 5.

••You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.

••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 blanket should be hung behind the backstop to prevent ricochet should you miss the backstop.

••Your airgun is designed for target shooting and is suited for both indoor and outdoor use. Always remember to place your target carefully. THINK about what you will hit if you miss the target.

••Before firing the air gun make certain there is sufficient pressure for proper operation. The gauge needle should be pointing to an area in the green zone on the gauge.

8. Removing a Jammed Pellet

A jammed pellet is usually the result of trying to fire the airgun when the pressure is too low. Before firing the airgun make certain there is sufficient pressure for proper operation. The gauge needle should be pointing to an area in the green zone on the gauge.

IN THIS PROCEDURE YOU WILL PUT A CLEANING ROD DOWN THE BARREL OF A CHARGED AIRGUN. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WHILE YOU ARE DOING THIS THE AIRGUN BE “ON SAFE”, THE BOLT REMAINS IN OPEN POSITION AND THAT YOUR FINGER BE KEPT AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

	••Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
	••Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (see section 2A.)
	••Open the bolt by pulling it all the way back until you			Rod
	hear two clicks.
	••With the bolt in the rearward position insert a	Pellet
				10
	ramrod of the proper size into the barrel (start at the
	muzzle). The barrel could be damaged if the proper
	sized cleaning rod is not used

••Using the ramrod push the pellet into the pellet loading port (forward of the bolt) see fig 10, remove and discard the pellet. Do not reuse that pellet.

••Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION, close the action, take “OFF SAFE” and fire. Put the airgun “ON SAFE”.

••If you are not able to unjam your airgun by following this procedure, take no further action. Crosman Corporation or an Authorized Service Station will unjam your airgun. (no cost during the warranty period)

9. Maintaining Your Airgun

••Apply Crosman silicone chamber oil (part number RMCOIL) on the barrel

o-ring every 3 months or 500 shots. Apply with a cotton swab as shown in 11 figure 11.

••Apply a dry powder graphite lube (not included) to the sliding bolt mechanism every three months or 800 shots.

••First, pull back the T-handle bolt.

••Apply the graphite powder sparingly to the bolt, then slide it back into the receiver.

••Repeat this procedure a few time to allow the lubricant to migrate into the bolt wear surfaces.

••Keep all petroleum-based lubricants away from the fill nipple. They MUST NOT be introduced into the high pressure reservoir.

USE OF PETROLEUM-BASED LUBRICANTS IN THIS AREA COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.

••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.
