and will distort normal pattern density, accelerating wear and tear. The use of reloaded or remanufactured ammunition can increase the likelihood of excessive pressure, case rupture or other defects in the ammunition. MAGAZINE CAPACITY The magazine of the A400 Xplor has a capacity limited to 2 shots, in line with the current hunting regulations in many countries, due to the insertion of a reducer. This reducer restricts firearm use to no more than three rounds (two in the magazine, and one in the cartridge chamber). This device is fitted by Beretta during manufacture and assembly of the A400 Xplor. WARNING: Wholesalers, dealers or gunsmiths are not authorised to carry out any Warranty repair or adjustment on behalf of the Manufacturer (unless they are a Repair Point authorised by the Manufacturer and/or by its Local Official Distributors). HOW TO LOAD THE FIREARM WARNING: Before loading the firearm, it is a good idea to practice the following handling procedures without the use of ammunition. Never handle a loaded firearm until you are fully familiar with the loading procedures. Always inspect the ejection port, the loading gate and the cartridge chamber to make sure they are empty. Check that there are no cartridges in the magazine tube. Before loading the firearm, ensure that the safety is engaged. Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC SAFETY RULES.) WARNING: Always check the barrel before loading the firearm to make sure that it is clean and free of possible obstructions (see: "Checking for obstructions"). WARNING: Check the conditions and correct tightness of the choke tubes in the barrel. Never use the shotgun without the choke tube inserted (see. "Checking the condition of the choke tubes"). WARNING: The shooter and all bystanders must always wear protective eyewear and ear protection during shooting. Residue from gunpowder, lubricant or metal fragments may be projected backwards and cause injury. Noise-reducing earplugs or earmuffs will reduce the risk of damage to hearing caused by prolonged shooting activity. CAUTION: Always keep your finger off the trigger and avoid contact of other objects with the trigger if you don't intend to fire. ! EN ! ! ! ! ! 21
