SAFETYRULES

WARNING: READ THESE SAFETY RULES & OPERATORS MANUAL BEFORE HANDLING YOUR FIREARM

∙Never point a firearm at anyone and always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

∙Always treat all firearms as if they are loaded. Don’t rely on your gun’s “safety”.

∙Firearms should be unloaded when not in use and stored in a safe and secure location. Keep firearms and ammunition away from children.

∙Use correct ammunition. Only use ammunition that exactly matches the caliber or gauge markings on your firearm.

∙Always wear ear and eye protection when shooting.

∙Before shooting be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions.

∙Never load your firearm until you are in a location where it is safe to shoot. Always keep the safety engaged until you are ready to shoot.

∙Keep your finger off the trigger while loading or unloading the shotgun.

∙If your gun fails to fire, keep it pointed in a safe direction, and then unload it carefully avoiding exposure to breech. If your gun fires, but the report or recoil seem weak, unload it and ensure the barrel is not obstructed.

∙Don’t alter or modify your gun. Use only genuine parts.

∙Clean and maintain the firearm according to the instructions in this booklet.

∙Keep your firearm unloaded. Never carry or store a loaded firearm in a building or a vehicle.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

The CLASSIS shotguns are packed with the barrels and forend separated from the stock and receiver.

To assemble your shotgun please read and follow the instructions printed below, proceed as follows:

1.Depress the forend catch button and carefully pull the forend from the barrel. ( FIG.1 )

2.Move the top lever to the right ( FIG.2 )

3.Position the locking blocks of the barrels on the inside of the receiver ( FIG.3 ). Make sure these locking blocks are engaged in the receiver , then close the breech.

4.Place the forend on the front of the receiver and push the front of the forend toward the barrels until the forend catch button snaps into place. ( FIG.4 )

5.Only then is the forend secured and the barrels safe to open.

WARNING: During assembly, handle the shotgun gently without forcing at anytime. If the barrel is not properly engaged into the action frame or if alignment is incorrect, forcing will only damage the bearing surfaces and upset the alignment.

LOADING THE SHOTGUN

Before loading the shotgun, check the safety to make sure it is on safe by pulling the safety button to the rear ( FIG.5 )

1.Push the top lever to the right, support the receiver with one hand and push down the barrels. The breech will “break open” and pivot on the hinge pin exposing the chambers. ( FIG.6 )

2.Place a shotshell in each chamber. Point the shotgun in a safe position and close the shotgun. This action should cause the top lever to snap to the left slightly, locking the breech closed.

The top lever acts on the locking bolt which is adjusted to the barrel hooks. A locking reserve is built into the bolt, so that perfect barrel locking can be achieved over a long period of time. Do not be surprised if the top lever is not aligned with the barrel. For this reason, it is not necessary to confirm the locking of the gun with your thumb; allow the top lever to return of its own accord.

The angle made by the top lever with respect to the barrels axis is normal and indicates that there is some locking reserve still available.

3.WARNING ! YOU ARE NOW HOLDING A LOADED SHOTGUN !

Keep your finger out of the trigger guard and off the trigger until you are ready to fire the gun

4.Take the shotgun off SAFE by pushing the safety forward to cover with the selector the “S” engraved on the receiver.( FIG.7 )
