LOADING AND OPERATING YOUR SHOTGUN
1. Slide the safety, located on the tang of the receiver, toward the butt of the gun into the “safe” position (Photo 4).
2. Break the action open.
3. Check the barrels for any obstruction, including dirt and excess oil. CAUTION: Obstructions can increase barrel
pressure sufficiently so that the barrel can explode when the gun is fired. This may result in serious injury or death
to the shooter and others in the vicinity.
4. Insert the shot shells into the chamber or chambers you plan to fire. CAUTION: Make sure the shells are of the
proper gauge and chamber length for your gun.
TriStar is not responsible for damage to a gun or shooter caused by malfunctioning ammunition, new,
remanufactured, reloaded, or hand loaded.
5. Close the action.
6. The order in which the barrels are fired depends upon the selective trigger.
7. When contemplating firing your gun, be sure of your target, what is behind it, and the location of all persons with
you or in your vicinity. Pick your target, release the safety by sliding it forward with your thumb and squeeze the
trigger with your forefinger.
8. To unload, press the opening lever to the right and open the action. Fired shells will be ejected and unfired shells
will be elevated above the chamber on models with automatic selective ejectors. Models with extractors will only
elevate both fired and unfired shells above the chamber.
CAUTION: In case of a misfire, wait at least 30 seconds while keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction. Then,
carefully open the action away from yourself and others. If the primer on the rim is indented, the shell should be
discarded in a manner that would prevent accidental injury to you and others. If there is no indention on the primer
or rim, your gun has malfunctioned and should be serviced by a qualified gunsmith. If the gun is under warranty it
must be serviced by an authorized TriStar Gunsmith to not void warranty.
