Manual

The ejector mechanism only ejects fired
shells. It does not
eject live ammunition.
Do not rely upon the ejector mechanism
to unload the gun. Simply opening the
gun does not unload it. To unload, open
the gun smartly, manually remove the
cartridge, and visually check chamber to
be sur
e the chamber is unloaded and
empty. See “Unloading Sequence”, p. 17.
MAKE SURE GUN
IS UNLOADED

WARNING –UNLOADING
After firing, move the top lever completely to the right, and pivot the barrel
downward to open the action and eject the empty shot shell. Keep your face away
from the action when ejecting the empty shell, in order to avoid being struck by
it as it leaves the gun. Vigorously opening the barrel downward will assist in
ejecting the empty shell. If the action is opened with an unfired (“live”) shotshell
in the chamber, it will be elevated (but not
ejected) sufficiently to be easily
extracted with the fingers. You must remove a live (unfired) cartridge manually!
Visually inspect the chamber to be sure the shotgun is completely
unloaded prior
to closing the action when you are finished shooting, and again before putting
the gun away.
TO UNLOAD
WARNING –FIRING
All persons must be a safe distance to the
rear of the shooter when a shotgun is being
fired. Particles of shot, lead, powder,
lubricant, accumulated bore deposits and
particles of clay targets can be blown in a
wide area – particularly if the wind is
blowing – into the eyes and face of the
shooter and those nearby. For that reason
shooters and bystanders must wear shooting
glasses or similar eye protection. Hearing
protection must also be worn because
exposure to shooting noise can damage
hearing. See “Ammunition Warning”, p. 10.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND
HEARING PROTECTION
