LOADING THE FIREARM WARNING ! • Always keep your fingers away from the trigger if you do not intend to fire. • Always check cartridge chamber, magazine tube and receiver to see that the firearm is not already loaded. • After you load the firearm, always point the barrel in a safe direction before you aim at your safe intended target. • Always use the correct ammo for which your firearm is chambered.
WARNING ! If the trigger is pulled and a "click" is heard but a chambered cartridge fails to fire, follow the below instruction. 1. Point the firearm in a safe direction. 2. Engage safety. 3. Wait 30 seconds. 4. Eject the cartridge from the chamber by pressing the action release button and by pulling the fore-end backward. Examine the cartridge primer. If it has been deeply indented by the firing pin, the cartridge is defective.
Fixed Cylinder Bore Choke Fixed Cylinder Bore Choke means the choke constriction is pre-machined into the barrel at the factory. No choke adjustments can be made and no interchangeable chokes can be put. 18" (46cm) and 20" (50cm) barrel Escort AimGuard pump action models are produced with this choke system as standard. Turkey Choke: Turkey choke tubes are also available which are specially designed for turkey hunting.

Disassemble, clean and lubricate the firearm when grease, dirt or powder fouling accumulates in the barrel and action. To avoid rust and corrosion, clean and lubricate after each use.
