You Are Responsible For Firearms Safety 2 There is no excuse for careless or abusive handling of any firearm. At all times handle this firearm and all other firearms with intense respect for their power and potential danger. Never rely totally on your Firearm’s mechanical “safety” device. Like any mechanical device, a “safety” can sometimes fail; it can be jarred or inadvertently manipulated into an unsafe condition.
muzzle blast, debris and ejecting shells could inflict serious injury. While it is a good idea to “test” your firearm’s mechanical “safety” periodically for proper function, never test the “safety” while your firearm is loaded or pointed in an unsafe direction. 3 Always wear eye protection when disassembling and cleaning any firearm to prevent the possibility of springs, spring-tensioned parts, solvents or other agents from contacting your eyes.
8 Store your firearm and ammunition separately, well beyond the reach of children. Take prudent safeguards to ensure your firearm does not become available to untrained, inexperienced or unwelcome hands. Store all firearms in secure, locked cases or a gun safe. Keep your firearm unloaded when not in use. 9 BEWARE OF BARREL OBSTRUCTIONS. Mud, snow and an infinite variety of other objects may inadvertently lodge in a barrel bore.
12 examine every shell you put in your firearm. We assume no responsibility for the use of unsafe or improper firearm and ammunition combinations or damage or injury caused by damaged ammunition. It is your responsibility to read and heed all warnings in this owner’s manual and on ammunition boxes. See page 13 for more information on the correct ammunition for your firearm.
20 BE CERTAIN your firearm is UNLOADED BEFORE CLEANING. Because so many firearm accidents occur when a firearm is being cleaned, special and extreme care should be taken to be sure your firearm is unloaded before disassembly, cleaning and reassembly. 24 Practice periodic MAINTENANCE, AVOID UNAUTHORIZED SERVICING. Your firearm is a mechanical device which will not last forever, and as such, is subject to wear and requires periodic inspection, adjustment and service.

Every design feature of the Super X Pump works together to make what many consider the most reliable pump shotgun on the market today.
Prior to using live ammunition, familiarize yourself thoroughly with the operating instructions in this owner’s manual. Get accustomed to the feel of your new firearm and know the forces required to operate the action. Learn how to pull the trigger and, above all, know the location and operation of the “safety.” Procedures for disassembly and operation of various components are outlined later in this owner’s manual. Please read and study them thoroughly.
FIGURE 2 Shotgun Features The advanced, high-strength alloy receiver is much lighter than steel. The rugged rotary bolt design engages the barrel extension instead of the top of the receiver. Stocks are profiled for an ideal fit. Convenient push button safety. The Inflex Technology recoil pad utilizes directional deflection and a soft durometer for maximum comfort.
Most Super X Pump hunting models are fitted with the InvectorPlus™ interchangeable choke system. It allows you to change choke constriction to the demands of the game being hunted or your shooting situation. You can easily change the pattern size and density by simply switching choke tubes. A variety of accessory choke tubes are available. Faster pump-action. Inertia assists you as you pump the forearm rearward to load for the next shot.
FIGURE 3 WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN assembling and DISASSEMBLING YOUR shotgun TO PREVENT springs, spring-loaded parts, SOLVENTS OR OTHER AGENTS FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, resulting in injury. Lugs Firing Pin Some metal parts of your new Super X Pump have been coated at the factory with a rust preventative compound. Before using your Super X Pump, clean the anti-rust compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, bolt mechanism and the action/chamber areas.

Slide the barrel rearward until it seats in the receiver. 10. Immediately replace the magazine cap.
FIGURE 6 Ammunition use only shells of the correct gauge and length. The gauge and length of the chamber is inscribed on the side of the barrel. Do not use ammunition other than what is inscribed on the side of the barrel. Examine every shell you put in your shotgun. failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death and cause damage to your shotgun. Press the disconnector release button to unlock the action. Use shells of the correct length.
Remember, “total” capacity includes an additional shell in the chamber in addition to a full magazine. The most certain way to bulge or rupture a shotgun barrel is to load a smaller gauge shell into a larger gauge chamber. The smaller gauge shell will not fall completely through the barrel; its rim is caught by the front of a larger gauge chamber or at the larger gauge’s choke. Your shotgun will misfire (with the chamber appearing to be empty).

Push down on the magazine spring retainer and rotate it ¼ turn. three-shot adapter (plug) and replace the magazine spring retainer. Removing the Three-Shot Adapter (Plug) 1. Unscrew the magazine cap and remove it. 4. Align the full-length grooves in the magazine spring retainer with the protrusions inside the magazine tube, found at the six and nine o'clock positions. 2.
FIGURE 9 Installing the Three-Shot Adaptor (Plug) If you need to install the magazine three-shot adapter (plug) to limit your shotgun magazine to two shells again perform the following operation: 1. Unscrew the magazine cap and remove it. 2. Using your index finger or a large blade-type screwdriver, press the magazine spring retainer into the magazine approximately 1" and rotate it ¼ turn (Figure 7). 3.
Do not carry your shotgun with a shell in the chamber to avoid accidental discharge. when firing is no longer imminent, make sure the “safety” is in the on safe position and unload the chamber. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or death. 3.

Your Super X Pump is again ready to fire. Immediately put the “safety” in the on safe position (with the red warning band hidden) until you are ready to fire again. THE SHOTGUN IS now READY TO FIRE BY SIMPLY MOVING THE “safety” TO THE off safe POSITION and pulling the trigger. Firing After firing, or when shooting is no longer imminent, immediately PLACE THE “safety” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or death.
FIGURE 10 ALWAYS INSPECT THE CHAMBER, barrel, feed mechanism and mAGaZINE CAREFULLY AFTER UNLOADING TO BE SURE ALL LIVE shells ARE CLEARED FROM THE firearm. Press the shell stop inward to release shell from magazine. Unloading by Cycling the Action Perform the following steps to remove shells from the chamber and magazine on all Super X Pump models. 1. Place the “safety” in the on safe position. 2. Press the disconnector release button to release the slide (Figure 6, page 13). 3.
USE ONLY THE APPROPRIATE GAUGE AND TYPE OF CHOKE TUBES, MARKED INVECTOR-PLUS or Standard INVECTOR, DEPENDING ON YOUR SHOTGUN. 4.

FIGURE 11 All Super X Pump shotgun barrels (except Defender models) are threaded to accept the Invector-Plus™ choke tube system. WinChoke®, Standard Invector™ and Invector-Plus tubes are not interchangeable. Confirm the choke system of your shotgun by looking on the right side of the barrel where the specifications are inscribed, where the choke markings are normally located.
These notches are a code to allow you to determine the choke designation while the tube is installed. Rim notches refer specifically to lead shot. Use the charts on page 21 to cross-reference from lead to steel, and determine the appropriate tubes for your ammunition and hunting/shooting situation. 2. Before installing a tube, check the internal choke tube threads in the muzzle, as well as the threads on the choke tube to be sure they are clean.
6. Pre-position the bases on the receiver top to determine the best orientation of the bases. Most bases have transverse grooves cut into them that are offset from the middle. These are the grooves that the crossbolts in your scope rings will pass through. The grooves are offset to allow you to position the bases to fit the design/length of your scope and the placement of the scope front to back for proper eye relief.
Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions Always make sure that the saddle crossbolts and the cap bolts are fully tightened before using your shotgun. NOTICE!
