Some metal parts of your new Super X Pump have been
coated at the factory with a rust preventative compound.
Before using your Super X Pump, clean the anti-rust
compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, bolt
mechanism and the action/chamber areas. A high quality,
lightweight gun oil should be used to remove this
compound and to give your new firearm its first
lubrication. Clean the barrel using a cleaning rod and
patch as explained under “Cleaning and Maintenance
Suggestions” found on page 23 in this owner’s manual.
Before beginning assembly of your Super X Pump you
should first wipe the mechanism clean and apply a few
drops of quality oil on the indicated surfaces (Figure 3).
Avoid applying too much oil. Only a light film is necessary.
Excessive oil should be wiped off, especially in cold
weather.

The cross bolt “safety” is designed to prevent the trigger
from being pulled when in the on safe position. The
“safety” is located at the front of the trigger guard
(Figure 4, page 11). In the off safe position, a red warning
band is visible on the “safety” button on the left side of the
trigger guard. It is essential that you become very familiar
with the feel, look and operation of the “safety” on this
shotgun before attempting to load and shoot.
To place the firearm on safe, press the “safety” button to
the right (Figure 4, page 11). To move the “safety” to the
off safe or fire position, press the “safety” button to the left.
