2 When shooting is imminent, slide the "safety"/selector forward to the off safe position. 3 Take aim and, when ready, squeeze the trigger to fire. After firing one barrel, it is not necessary to move the "safety"/selector to fire the second barrel. Simply release the trigger to its original forward position and pull it a second time. Be certain you fully release the trigger between shots. If the trigger is not permitted to return to its fully forward position, the firing mechanism will not reengage. The subsequent pull will fail to fire the gun. Proper execution of this maneuver is necessary with any single trigger gun. Failure to release the trigger ordinarily occurs with overly rapid firing or heavily gloved fingers. After firing, or when shooting is no longer imminent, immediately PLACE THE "SAFETY" IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.

Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or death. 1 Using your thumb, move the top lever fully to the right to open the action. The action must be opened completely to reset the firing mechanism. Due to tight manufacturing tolerances, it may be necessary to pull downward slightly on the forearm to completely open the breech. For proper ejection, keep the receiver level and allow the barrels to completely drop. This keeps empty hulls in full contact with the ejectors. 2 It is important to point the breech, by canting the shotgun to the right (left for left-handed shooters), so empty hulls eject clear of 18 your body and face. Citori shotguns feature automatic ejectors. Fired shells with be thrown completely out of the gun upon opening the action; and unfired shells will be elevated above the chambers for unloading.
