Type Of Ammunition To Be Used: It is suggested that high quality commercially manufactured ammunition be used in this firearm.

The use of reloaded, high pressure or hand-loaded ammunition can be dangerous and will void the warranty.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE Get competent firearms instruction in safe handling before using this firearm. Please ask your dealer for names of qualified instructors. All guns are extremely dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the firearm user is the primary “safety” and that reliance on any mechanical device should never replace safe handling procedures.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall. Store guns and ammunition separately beyond the reach of children. Make sure that they are properly secured so untrained individuals and children will be denied access to your guns and ammunition.

FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE Spectators should be at least 10 feet behind and away from the shooter while the shooter is loading, shooting and unloading. Spectators should wear protection for hearing and sight loss and they should avoid distracting those shooting their firearms. Never drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check it for proper function before using it again. Do NOT alter or modify your gun.

NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT WITH ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BLOW IT OUT WITH A BLANK CARTRIDGE OR A CARTRIDGE FROM WHICH THE SHOT HAS BEEN REMOVED. SUCH TECHNIQUE(S) CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

If the blockage cannot be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning rod, take the firearm to a gunsmith.
or “safe” position, pull the button all the way to the rear. When in the “on” or “safe” position, the safety blocks the rearward motion of the trigger(s). To place the safety in the “off” or “fire” position, push the slide all the way to forward. When in the “off” or “fire” position, a red dot is exposed behind the slide button. You have now disengaged the safety and the shotgun is in the ready-to-fire position. See Figure 7. Figure 7 WARNING Do not touch the trigger(s) while moving the safety .
WARNING Never fire a double-trigger shotgun by using two fingers because you may inadvertently pull both triggers at the same time resulting in a near simultaneous firing of both barrels. Use your index finger to pull one of the triggers to fire the first shot. After that shot is fired, release the trigger and move your index finger to the other trigger to fire the second shot. Single-trigger IZH27 shotguns have a single trigger which is used to fire each barrel.
To return the shotgun to the automatic-ejection mode, simply turn the set screws counterclockwise ˘ of a turn to their original position with the set screw Figure 18 Figure 19 slots oriented in a vertical position perpendicular to the length of the barrels. See Figures 18 and 19. WARNING Never adjust or disable the ejector set screws when the shotgun is loaded. Adjust the set screws only when the shotgun is completely unloaded. WARNING Never remove the ejector set screws from the shotgun.
The Forend: The forend is the wooden grip piece which attaches to the barrel assembly and locks the barrel assembly into the receiver. See Figure 20. The forend has a mechanical latch which is used to lock and unlock the forend to the barrel assembly. Never attempt to fire your shotgun without having the forend locked in its proper position on the barrel assembly. Figure 20 The Serial Number: The shotgun’s serial number is located on the top of the receiver underneath the top lever.
quarters of its full travel distance. See Figure 23 (a,b,c). Figure 23b Figure 23a Figure 23c 4) Now that the barrels have been locked into the receiver, you must reattach the forend to the barrels. Place the forend on the front curve of the receiver (the angle between the forend and barrels should be about 20 degrees). Keep contact between forend and receiver and with an upward swinging motion, lock Figure 24 the forend into the barrels.
WARNING Do not load shotgun until you are ready to fire. TO LOAD: 1) Make sure the ammunition that you are using is the correct size and gauge. The barrel is marked with the gauge and chamber size. Barrels marked 3" 76mm will use only 2 3/4" (70mm) or 3" (76mm) shot shells and must not be used with 3 1/2" (89mm) shells. Barrels marked with 2 3/4" (70mm) will use only 2 3/4" (70mm) and must not be used with or 3" (76mm) or 3 1/2" (89mm) shells.
TO UNLOAD: 1) Break open the shotgun by pushing the top lever of the receiver all the way to the right and tipping the barrels down. See Figure 31. 2) Remove the shell(s) from the chamber(s) by grabbing them by the rims and pulling them from the chambers. See Figure 32. 3) Visually check the barrels to make sure that they are free from obstructions. See Figure 33. Figure 31 Figure 32 FIRING YOUR SHOTGUN Figure 33 WARNING Never load a cartridge into the chamber until you are ready to fire the shotgun.
READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE FIRING THE SHOTGUN.

See Figure 34. 3) Keeping your fingers away from the trigger(s), push the trigger block safety to the “off” or “fire” position with the red dot showing. See Figure 35.
3) Make sure the barrel assembly is locked into the receiver and the action closed. The top lever should now be in the center position. Remove the forend from the barrels by pulling out the mechanical lever in the lower center of the forend and removing the forend in a downward outward swinging motion. See Figure 38. Never force the forend off the barrels and receiver.
E) Any powder fouling on the firing wall, barrel, etc. can be easily cleaned with a brush and powder solvent. F) All external surfaces should be wiped down with a light coat of rust preventative. Avoid using too much oil as powder, dust or other foreign material may get trapped in the oil. This could lead to congealed deposits which may interfere with the safe and reliable operation of the shotgun. G) USE CAUTION while using solvents in gun bore cleaning.

Steel shot choke tubes will protrude out from the barrel about 3/4” and the mating lip will be flush with barrel end. E) Before using the shotgun make sure that the choke tubes are installed correctly. F) Keep choke tubes lubricated and installed. Never fire the gun without a choke tube installed. Handle choke tubes carefully since the leading edge is very thin.
