CYNERGY SHOTGUN.The Cynergy is the very latest in quality over and under 
shotgun technology from Browning. Taking its place beside
the timeless Citori and Superposed models, the Cynergy 
utilizes cutting edge features in technology with harmony 
of stock and steel. Its unique visual appearance of forward,
flowing propulsion, coupled with advanced ergonomics,
transfer to superb balance and handling characteristics.

Safe gun handling does not stop with your gun’s mechanical “safety”
devices—it starts there. Always treat this shotgun with the respect due
a loaded, ready-to-fire firearm.
3WHENEVER YOU HANDLE A FIREARM OR HAND IT TO SOMEONE,
ALWAYS OPEN THE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. VISUALLY CHECK YOUR 
SHOTGUN’S CHAMBERS.
Make certain that they do not inadvertently
contain any ammunition. Always keep the chambers empty and the
“safety” in the “on safe” position unless shooting is imminent.

ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR SHOTGUN WHEN NOT IN USE.
As a safety 
precaution, it is preferable to disassemble your gun for storage.
Store your gun and ammunition separately–well beyond the reach of
children. Take all safeguards to ensure your shotgun does not become
available to untrained, inexperienced or unwelcome hands.

USE THE PROPER AMMUNITION.
The barrel and action of this shotgun
have been made with substantial safety margins over the pressures
developed by established American commercial loads....

WEAR EYE AND EAR PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING.
Unprotected,
repeated exposure to gunfire can cause hearing damage. Wear ear
protectors (shooting ear plugs or muffs) to guard against such 
damage. Wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes from flying 
particles. Always keep a safe distance between the muzzle of your
firearm and any persons nearby, as muzzle blast, debris and ejecting
shells could inflict serious injury. Also, wear eye protection when 
disassembling and cleaning your shotgun to prevent the...

when the trigger is pulled for the second shot. It will not fire both 
barrels simultaneously. Only one barrel will be fired with each pull 
of the trigger.
CAUTION: 
Once again, the Cynergy shotgun has
mechanical triggers. The recoil action of a fired shell in the first 
barrel is not necessary to set the trigger to fire the round in the 
second barrel. If you pull the trigger on the first barrel selected and
there is no round loaded or there is a misfire, then immediately
pulling the trigger again will...

actually firing your shotgun, always be certain that your gun is 
pointed in a safe direction. Check the safety manually and visually to
avoid any chance of accidental discharge. Always keep your safety in
the “on safe” position unless you are actually firing the shotgun.ASSEMBLY1
BEFORE USING, CLEAN ANTI-RUST COMPOUND FROM ALL METAL

LOADING AND FIRINGVISUALLY CHECK YOUR SAFETY TO BE CERTAIN IT IS IN THE “ON SAFE”
POSITION BEFORE LOADING.To load your Cynergy shotgun, move the top lever to the right and
open the breech. Check chambers and bores to be sure they’re clear 
of obstruction. Insert a shell in each chamber, or in the chamber 
you intend to fire, and close the action. Check to see that the barrel 
selector is set for the barrel you wish to fire first. By sliding the
safety/selector button to the right a “U” will appear...

It is not necessary that the top lever return to a completely central
position, but it should not be hanging over the right side or edge of
the stock as you look down on it.
Many experienced shooters cultivate the habit of lightly pushing 
the top lever to the left after the gun is closed. This habit causes no 
trouble; it becomes automatic and is a quick method of assuring 
yourself that foreign matter has not interfered with the complete 
closure of the breech. Keep the polished breech surfaces...
