PUMP ACTION SHOTGUNS

IMPORTANT “SAFETY WARNINGS” - NOTE THE SYMBOL

These safety warnings are for your protection as well as the safety of others.

Disregarding information in this manual may result in serious injury or death.

Be certain this owner’s manual is available for reference and is kept with this

firearm if transferred to another party. If the manual is lost or misplaced,

contact Maverick for a free replacement copy.

After performing any work on your firearm such as cleaning, adjustments,

disassembly or installation of any accessory, the firearm should be re-checked

for proper functioning before firing live ammunition.

Firearms are complicated mechanisms. Any modification, alteration, or improper

fitting of parts may result in a dangerous malfunction, damage to the firearm

and injury to the shooter and other persons. The firearm’s owner must accept

full responsibility for the correct reassembly and functioning of the firearm after

any disassembly or replacement of parts.

If you do not understand any of the material in this manual or have any

questions, contact a qualified gunsmith or Maverick directly.

Do not attempt to load or use any firearm until you read and understand the

information contained in its owner’s manual. Before handling your firearm, you

should learn how it operates and how to maintain it. This includes knowing its

basic parts, how the manual safety and other safety features operate, how to

safely open and close the action and how to safely load and unload ammunition from

the firearm. Improper use and handling is dangerous and could cause serious injury or

death to you or those around you. All users of the firearm must become thoroughly

familiar with the instructions in this manual.

Safety and safe firearms handling is everyone’s responsibility.

As the owner of a firearm, you must undertake the full-time responsibility of

safe firearms handling for your own safety and the safety of those around you:

• Keep all firearms and ammunition out of the reach of children.

• Store your firearms and ammunition separately.

• Never store a loaded firearm.

• Never leave a loaded firearm unattended.

• Never transport a loaded firearm in a vehicle.

• Unload your firearm when you have stopped shooting and when you have to

climb a tree, fence, cross a slippery surface or have to transport it in a vehicle.

• Do not load your firearm before you are in a place where it is safe to shoot,

and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

• Never shoot at water, rocks or any hard surfaces. Shot may glance off such

surfaces and cause injuries.

• Do not use alcohol or drugs before or while handling firearms.

• Do not touch the trigger while the safety button is being engaged or disengaged.

Always point the muzzle of your firearm in a safe direction, regardless of whether

the firearm is loaded or unloaded.

Always treat every firearm as if it were loaded. Give your firearm to someone

with the action open (bolt fully rearward) and the safety button pushed fully to

the right to the “ON” (SAFE) position after you verify the firearm is unloaded.

Insist on the same procedure when receiving a firearm from someone else.

Learn the location of all the safety features of your firearm and how they

operate.

Wear eye and ear protection when shooting. Shooting without proper ear

protection can cause hearing damage. The use of eye protection during any

type of shooting is important to protect your vision.

Due to the heavy recoil of a shotgun, maintain an adequate distance between the

rear of the scope and your face at all times.

We specifically disclaim any responsibility for damage or injury

whatsoever occurring in connection with, or as a result of, the use of

faulty, or non-SAAMI standard, or “remanufactured” or hand-loaded

(reloaded) ammunition. Additionally, we disclaim any responsibility for

damage or injury which results from any modifications or changes that

are not a part of the firearm as delivered from the factory.

Learn to clean your firearm thoroughly and make certain no oil, grease or other

materials are blocking the barrel. Obstructions of any kind can cause damage

to the firearm resulting in personal injury.

Practice proper firearm maintenance and safety. Make sure all exposed metal

surfaces are coated with a thin film of oil, especially after being exposed to

damp weather. (See proper section of this manual for cleaning instructions.)

Do not plug barrel or store in fabric-lined case which will absorb lubricants from

the firearms. Before using after storage, follow complete instructions stated in

this manual for refamiliarization with the firearm. A thorough inspection should

be performed before going into the field. Have your gun periodically checked

by a qualified gunsmith.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read and understand this entire manual and its safety warnings before handling this firearm.

MECHANICAL SAFETY

Never rely on any mechanical safety device to prevent the dangers of careless

handling or pointing a firearm in an unsafe direction.

The safety is located at the front of the trigger guard (Fig. 2) and must be manually moved

to the desired position by the shooter.

The safety is set in the “ON” (SAFE) position by pushing the button from the

left side (side opposite the ejection port) so that it moves all the way to the

right. The button must always be pushed fully to the right until it moves no

further to be in the “ON” (SAFE) position.

Remember, a firearm’s manual safety is a mechanical device which can never

replace safe firearm handling practices.

Moving the safety button fully to the left will put the safety in the “OFF” (FIRE) position.

The safety button is designed to function only as described above and should

not be reversed. Do not attempt to remove or reverse the button. Doing so will

result in an unsafe condition which can cause serious injury or death.

The safety button is marked with a red ring for training purposes as a reminder that

moving it to the left with red showing is the “FIRE” position, moving it all the way to the

right with red not showing is the “SAFE” position.

SAFETY

ACTION RELEASE CONTROL

The action lock lever is located on the left side of the trigger housing just rearward of the

trigger guard.

The action lock lever allows the action to be unlocked and opened for inspection or

unloading without pulling the trigger. The action may be opened by depressing the lever

and pulling the forearm rearward (Fig. 3).

NOTE: During firing, the action unlocks automatically after the hammer falls and

the action can be cycled without depressing the action lock lever.

BARREL ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: Never close the action or pull trigger while barrel is removed as damage

could result to the firearm.

To facilitate shipping, some models are packaged with the barrel removed. To install the

barrel in the receiver, proceed as follows:

Visually inspect the inside of the barrel to make certain it is free of any

obstructions, excessive oil or grease before installation. If you are unable to

remove all obstructions, bring the shotgun to a qualified gunsmith or ship it to the

authorized Product Service Center. Failure to do so may result in firearm

damage and/or personal injury if the shotgun is fired.

Move the safety button, fully to the right, to the “ON” (SAFE) position (Fig. 2).

All Models: Depress the action lock lever (Fig. 3) and move the forearm rearward until

the front of the bolt is in the middle of the ejection port (Fig. 7).

88™ Models: Slide the barrel into the receiver and tighten the takedown screw, finger

tight only. DO NOT use pliers or a wrench to tighten the takedown screw. A little space

between the magazine tube and the takedown mount is normal (Fig. 4).

91™ Models: Unscrew the magazine/barrel cap by turning it counterclockwise.

The magazine spring exerts pressure on the retainer, use caution when

assembling or disassembling.

Slide the barrel takedown mount ring over the magazine tube while guiding the barrel extension

portion of the barrel into the receiver (Fig. 4).

Gently rotate the barrel back and forth while pushing the barrel into the receiver.

Tighten the magazine cap, finger tight only. DO NOT use pliers or a wrench to tighten

magazine cap.

88 and 91 Models: Check to be certain that the barrel is fully seated into the

receiver by looking through the ejection port.The barrel extension must rest firmly

against the corresponding cut in the top of the receiver as shown in Figure 4.
