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.

Do not touch the trigger(s) while moving the safety . When operating the safety,
make sure you push or pull it to the full extent of its travel in the desired direction,
either fully “on” or fully “off.” Half-safe or partially-safe is UNSAFE.
Top Lever: The top lever is
located just forward of the safety
mechanism. See Figure 8. The
top lever is used to break open
the action to load and/or unload
the shotgun, and to assemble
and disassemble the shotgun. To
break open the action, fully push the top lever to the right.
See Figure 9.
Trigger(s): Over and under shotguns from European
American Armory Corp. are available in either a
double-trigger configuration or a single trigger
configuration. See Figure 10 and Figure 11.
Double-trigger shotguns are patterned after classic
over and under shotguns with two triggers. The front
trigger always fires the bottom barrel. The back
trigger always fires the top barrel. Pulling either
trigger with the safety in the “off” or “fire” position
fires the shotgun.
W A R N I N G
Never pull the trigger(s) until you are actually ready
to fire. Keep your fingers off the trigger(s) and outside of the trigger guard until
you are ready to pull the trigger and fire the shotgun. When opening and closing
the action and when engaging or disengaging the safety mechanism, make
sure your fingers are outside the trigger guard and away from the trigger(s).
