WARNING LUBRICATION
OIL
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE – At regular intervals, or whenever the gun has been
exposed to sand, dust, extreme humidity, condensation, rainwater, snow, or other
adverse conditions, take down and clean and oil your shotgun as outlined above.
Lubricate contact area of forend iron and receiver with stainless steel lubricant.
Proper periodic maintenance is essential to the reliable functioning of any
firearm.
STORAGE
GUNS SHOULD NOT BE STORED LOADED!
USE THE LOCKING DEVICE SUPPLIED WITH THE SHOTGUN FOR STORAGE.

EE PAGE 3)
Do not store a shotgun in a leather case. Leather, and many cloth cases, attract
moisture even though they may appear to be perfectly dry.
TO RENDER THE SHOTGUN INOPERATIVE
FOR SAFE STORAGE
Open the action and check the chamber to be sure the shotgun is completely
unloaded! With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, close the barrel assembly
fully. Turn the shotgun over and swing the forend latch open. Carefully remove
the forend from the barrel assembly. Next, turn the shotgun over and press the
barrel opening lever fully to the right. Swing the barrel assembly downward and
then carefully remove it from the receiver. Assemble the forend to the barrel
assembly.
Store the shotgun stock-receiver assembly and the barrel-forend assembly in
different locations. When disassembled in this manner, the shotgun is
inoperable. It is impossible to fire the shotgun until the barrel assembly has been
correctly reattached to the receiver assembly.
Firing a shotgun with oil, grease, or any other
material even partially obstructing the bore may result
in damage to the shotgun and serious injury to the
shooter and those nearby. Do not spray or apply
lubricants directly on shot shells. If the shot shell’s
powder charge is affected by the lubricant, it may not
be ignited, but the primer firing may push shot or
wads into the bore where they may be lodged. Firing a
subsequent shot into the obstructed bore may damage
the gun and cause serious injury or death to the
shooter and those nearby. Use lubricants properly. You
are responsible for the proper care and maintenance of
your firearms.
