THE AMMUNITION DESIGNATION ON THE
BARREL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
INSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE
TO YOUR GUN AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS
INJURY TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS.
U NLOADING P ROCEDURES
Fully unloading your shotgun for storage or in other
appropriate situations is essential to safe gun handling.
BEFORE UNLOADING, CHECK TO ASSURE
THAT THE MANUAL HAMMER STOP IS IN
THE “ON” POSITION (SAFE) BY PUSHING IT
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. KEEP YOUR FINGER
AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER WHEN CYCLING
THE ACTION.
1. With the gun pointed in a safe direction and your finger
off the trigger
, swing the finger lever downward fully. This
will extract any shell from the chamber and eject it.
Capture (or pick up) the shell and return the finger lever
fully upward.
2. Proceed to operate the finger lever in the same manner
transferring all the remaining cartridges from the magazine
to the chamber and then eject them out.
THROUGHOUT THE UNLOADING PROCESS
MAKE SURE THAT THE MANUAL HAMMER
STOP STAYS IN THE "ON" POSITION AND
THAT YOU KEEP YOUR FINGER AWAY FROM
THE TRIGGER AT ALL TIMES.
When shells no longer eject when you cycle the action,
further assure that no shells remain by opening the action
and visually checking the chamber and feed/magazine
mechanism to be sure no shells remain (Figure 12).
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS VISUALLY NOTE,
BY LOOKING THROUGH THE TOP OF THE
OPEN RECEIVER, THAT THE MAGAZINE
FOLLOWER IS SHOWING—AND NOT A SHELL
BASE. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THAT NO
SHELLS REMAIN.
Push the last shell fully in,
allowing the cover to close
