CLEANING, LUBRICATION
AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before cleaning, make sure your
shotgun is completely unloaded (both the
chamber and the magazine) and engage the
safety mechanism in the “ON” or "SAFE"
position.
WARNING! After each use, follow the lubri-
cation and maintenance directions in this
Manual. If the firearm is immersed in water,
it must be thoroughly cleaned and lubricated
as soon as possible. In case of saltwater
immersion, first flush all parts with fresh
water, then dry, clean and lubricate the
firearm. If the firearm does not function
properly, have it checked and corrected by a
competent gunsmith before further use.
Failure to follow these instructions may lead
to firearm malfunctions which could result in
serious personal injuries or death.
NOTE: The chamber and bore should be
cleaned before loading and firing the firearm
the first time.
Lubrication:
Over-lubrication should be avoided at all
times. A light application of Rem™ Oil
helps to prevent rusting. See note
below.
WARNING! The use of a non-recommend-
ed lubricant could adversely affect the
function and safe operation of your shot-
gun. Failure to properly maintain your
shotgun can not only damage your
firearm, it can expose you and others to
unnecessary risks of personal injury or
death.
When the firearm is to be stored, it
should be carefully cleaned and thor-
oughly oiled. Outside metal surfaces
should be wiped with Rem™ Oil occa-
sionally.
When the firearm is to be reused, all
excess lubrication must be removed.
The chamber and bore must be thor-
oughly wiped dry.
For safe and dependable operation of
your shotgun, the barrel and action must
be cleaned periodically.
NOTE: Remington Rem™ Oil is available
from your local dealer. If your dealer is
out of stock, ask him to order Rem™ Oil
from his remington Distributor.

To Install the Magazine Plug:
