Figure 21. Then close the action by swinging

the barrels up until they lock into the receiver and

the top lever moves back to the center position.

If the top lever does not move to the center, break

open the action again and check to see if the

shot shells are fully seated in the chambers. If

the shells are fully seated, then re-close the action.

If the shot shells are not fully seated, check the chambers for blockage and

check the shells for deformation and retry closing the action once more. If

the shells are the correct type and the chambers are not blocked and the

shells are not deformed and the top lever does not move at least three quarters

of the full travel distance to the center after closing, then unload the gun

(follow Unloading Instructions) and have a competent gunsmith look at the

shotgun or return the shotgun to European American Armory Corp. for

inspection. Note: The top lever may not move completely to the center on a

new shotgun until it is broken in. The lever must move at least three quarters

of the full travel distance. Try and move the top lever to the center position by

pushing it, but do not force it.

TO UNLOAD:

1) Break open the shotgun by use of the top lever, and tip the barrels down.

2) Remove the shell(s) from the chamber(s) by grabbing them by the rim of the

shell(s) and pulling them from the chambers and

store them in a safe place.

3) Visually check the barrels to make sure that they

are free from obstructions. See Figure 22.

4) Engage the trigger block safety after the shotgun

is unloaded.
