Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Welcome to the Crosman 760 Pumpmaster Classic Manual! When unpacking, carefully remove the air rifle and accessories from the box. Inspect for any visible damage or defects. Ensure all components, including the barrel, stock, and pump mechanism, are included. Verify the presence of the owner’s manual and any additional accessories. Before assembly, thoroughly review the manual to understand proper setup and safety guidelines.
Step-by-Step Assembly Process
Begin by carefully removing the Crosman 760 Pumpmaster Classic from its packaging. Attach the stock securely, ensuring all screws are tightened properly.

Loading and Firing Instructions
Load BBs or pellets into the reservoir or chamber as specified. Cock the rifle, aim carefully, and squeeze the trigger smoothly. Always engage the safety when not firing.
Loading BBs and Pellets
Load BBs into the reservoir by pulling the bolt handle and pouring BBs into the port. For pellets, insert one into the chamber through the loading port. Ensure the pellet is seated properly. Do not overfill the BB reservoir, as this can cause jams. Always use Crosman-approved BBs or pellets to maintain performance and avoid damage to the rifle.

Clean the barrel and valve stem assembly periodically to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for lubrication and storage to maintain the Crosman 760’s reliability and accuracy over time.
Cleaning the Barrel and Internal Components
Regular cleaning of the barrel and internal components is essential for maintaining accuracy and performance. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to wipe down the barrel and valve stem assembly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage finishes. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry completely to prevent rust. Focus on the pump assembly and valve areas to ensure smooth operation and consistent power delivery over time.
Lubrication and Long-Term Storage
Proper lubrication ensures smooth operation and longevity. Apply silicone-based lubricant to the pump assembly, valve stem, and moving parts. Avoid over-lubrication to prevent attracting dirt. For long-term storage, store the air rifle in a dry, cool place, preferably in a protective case. Keep the pressure tube empty and the bolt open to prevent moisture buildup. Periodically inspect and maintain the rifle during storage to maintain its performance and reliability over years of use.
