Important details. Special Safety Rules Page 6
• Universal Trigger System, Combi Trigger / Set Trigger
Beginning with order date July 1999, all Krieghoff models PLUS, ULTRA, CLASSIC, and HUBERTUS come standard with
the Universal Trigger System. In these cases, the single trigger or the front trigger of a double trigger system has the combi
trigger / set trigger feature. In other words, the trigger can be used like a conventional shotgun trigger or it can be set to
become a hair (set) trigger. Setting the trigger is done by pushing the trigger forward until it engages in the set/hair trigger
position.
Standard factory trigger pulls for the models PLUS, ULTRA, CLASSIC, and HUBERTUS are approximately 10-15N
(1000-1500g, 2.5-3.5 lbs) and for the model CLASSIC “Big Five” approximately 18-20N (1800-2000g, 4- 4.5 lbs).
On special order, the rear trigger in a double trigger system can optionally also be ordered with the combi trigger / set
trigger feature.
Models CLASSIC “Big Five” come without set trigger and the feature is not available for this model.

If a hair trigger is set the slightest touch at the trigger will fire the gun!
Adjustment of the hair trigger sensitivity must be such that there is enough safety margin to control the trigger
even in adverse weather conditions. Do not attempt to go beyond such measure.
Always make sure that the trigger is NOT set before you cock the gun. Should the trigger be in the set position point the gun
in a safe direction, uncock the gun first if the hammers are cocked and then un-set the trigger from the set position.
Set the trigger only just before you are ready to shoot. At that point, have the gun already cocked, ready to fire and pointed
at the target.
For safety reasons, use the hair or set trigger only under highly controlled circumstances when shooting from a bench rest.
Never use the hair or set trigger on driven game or when shooting at a moving target
Should an opportunity pass without firing the gun, then first uncock the gun immediately and then un-set the trigger always
pointing the gun in a safe direction.
