USE THE CORRECT AMMUNITION AS REFER-
ENCED BY THE INSCRIPTION ON THE BARREL.
BEFORE LOADING YOUR GUN BE SURE ALL
GREASE AND OIL HAVE BEEN REMOVED
FROM THE BARREL AND CHAMBER, AND
THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
T ERMINOLOGY AND D ESCRIPTIONS
Descriptions in this manual generally refer to the gun in
the horizontal position. That is, in the normal firing
position. For example, the muzzle is forward or front; the
butt stock is rearward or rear; the trigger is downward or
underneath; the sight is upward or on top. For general
parts terminology, refer to Figure 1.
The Winchester Super X2 is also shown disassembled to
the extent necessary in order to follow instructions
contained in this book (refer to Figure 14 later in this
manual). Figure 2 covers the general features and benefits
of the Super X2 design.
Throughout this manual the “action” refers to the mecha-
nism of this shotgun which loads and secures the shell in
the chamber.
S ERIAL N UMBER
The serial number is located on the left side of the
receiver, just above the trigger guard. Record the serial
number at the front of this manual for future reference.
