*** Warning ***
Do not load the semi-auto shotgun until you are ready to fire.
TO LOAD:
1) Make sure the ammunition that you are using is the correct size and gauge.
2) Visually inspect the chamber and barrel for
obstructions by pulling back the bolt until it locks
back. Note that if the bolt will not lock back then
push the Carrier Stop Button rearward and retry
locking the bolt rearward. The chamber and barrel
should be free of oil or grease or obstructions.
See Figure 23.
3) After inspection, release the bolt by depressing
the carrier latch button.
4) Turn the shotgun upside down so that the barrel
is pointing toward the ground and you are looking
at the carrier latch. Now depress the carrier latch
and insert up to five (5) - 2 3/4" cartridges or five
(5) - 3" cartridges or (4) - 3.5" cartridges into the
magazine tube. Note that if the plastic spring
cap is in the magazine tube then all capacities
are decreased by one round. See Figure 24.
TO UNLOAD:
1) Make sure the cross trigger block safety is
engaged and your fingers are away from the trigger.
Draw back the bolt until a cartridge is ejected or
the bolt has traveled to the rear fully. If there was
no cartridge in the chamber, nothing will be
ejected. Slide the bolt back forward until it is fully
closed. Repeat the drawing back of the bolt while
depressing the carrier stop button until no more
rounds are ejected from the shotgun. The bolt will
lock back when the last round is ejected. See
Figure 25.
2) Now lock the bolt in the rearward position. (Note:
You must move the Carrier Stop Button rearward
for the bolt to lock in the rearward position). With
the bolt locked back, visually inspect the chamber
to insure that it is empty. You should also look
down into the receiver through the ejection port
and verify that the magazine tube is empty. See
Figure 26.
