HOW TO UNLOAD THE SHOTGUN WARNING: The firearm is loaded and ready to fire. Always keep your finger off the trigger and avoid contact with the trigger by other objects if you don't intend to fire. Never point the firearm at someone or at hard, flat surfaces. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC SAFETY RULES.) • Keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction, check that the safety is engaged (Fig. 3) (red ring not visible). • Pull back the breech bolt to extract and expel the live cartridge from the chamber (Fig. 8). • Release the breech bolt so that it locks. • Raise the carrier, push the cartridge lightly into the magazine tube and at the same time press down the release button, guiding the cartridges out of the magazine tube. • After checking the magazine tube and the receiver are empty, keeping the shotgun pointed in a safe direction, disengage the safety (Fig. 5) (red ring visible). • Keeping the breech bolt pulled back 2 cm, pull the trigger, thereby decocking the hammer.
