the FIRE position. The only time the safe- ty should be placed in the FIRE position is when you intend to shoot. •WARNING: Never disassemble the
safety mechanism. It has been correctly designed, fitted and tested. Any mechanical device can fail, however, so never rely on the safety to justify care- less handling. Never use a firearm with a safety that does not function properly.
How to Load • WARNING: Never attempt to load your
shotgun with ammunition that does not meet the cartridge designation stamped on the inside of the action. This designa- tion is only visible when the shotgun’s action is open.
• WARNING: Before loading this firearm,
always check the bores to be sure they are free of grease, oil or any other obstruction. Be sure the chambers are empty and the safety is on SAFE.
To open the action of the shotgun, first make sure the gun is pointed in a safe direction. With one hand, move the top lever to the right as far as it will go (don’t use excessive force – it should move eas- ily). With the other hand, pull down on the barrels until the action is fully open

•WARNING: The safety switch is not
automatic. In other words, it does not automatically go to the SAFE position when the shotgun breech is opened and closed. It must be manually moved to the SAFE position.
Never try to put the safety switch between the SAFE and FIRE positions. Unless the safety is positioned all the way forward or all the way to the rear, you cannot be cer- tain whether it is on SAFE or FIRE. The safest way to carry this shotgun is with NO shells in the chambers. If you feel that you must carry the shotgun with shells in the chambers, then the safety must be on SAFE. When you are ready to fire, the safety can quickly be moved to
(see E & F). Insert one or two shells of the proper gauge into the chambers. Keeping you fingers away from the trigger and out of the action, close the action by pulling up on the barrels until it snaps
