TO LOAD:
1) Make sure the ammunition that you are using is
the correct size and gauge. The barrels are marked
with the gauge and chamber size. 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.
2) Visually inspect the chambers and barrels for
obstructions by breaking open the shotgun by
depressing the locking lever and tipping the barrels
down. The chambers and barrels should be free
of oil or grease or obstructions. See Figure 19.
3) After inspection load the correct type of shot shells
into the chambers, making sure that the shells
are flush with the extractor. See Figure 20 and
