Gun safety catch
Press the safety button on the trigger guard until
its red ring, indicating firing position, is no long-
er visible (figs. 17-18).
Loading
Before starting any operation on your shotgun,
make sure that the chamber and the magazine
are unloaded!
(Carefully read the instructions on gun loading
and unloading).
NOTE: make sure that your firearm is fitted with
a magazine tube containing a number of car-
tridges permitted by legislation in the country
where you intend to use it.
Loading procedure
NOTE: make sure that the shotgun safety catch
(see “Gun safety catch”) is engaged and the
hammer cocked (so that the carrier latch can
retain the cartridges as they are inserted in the
magazine).
WARNING: for safety reasons, check if by open-
ing the bolt the shotgun is unloaded. Then close
the bolt again.
1) The red dot on the cartridge drop lever (in-
dicating that the hammer is cocked) must be
clearly visible. To bring lever to this position,
press the carrier button and open the bolt by
hand, then bring it to close position again
(fig. 19).
2) With the bolt closed and the hammer
cocked, reverse the gun pointing the barrel
downwards.
3) Insert a cartridge into the magazine (fig. 20):
push it until it is retained by the carrier latch
which engages automatically (fig. 21).
Repeat the operation until the magazine is
fully loaded.
NOTE: the gun must be loaded with the hammer
cocked so that the carrier latch can retain the
cartridges as they are inserted in the magazine.
