Clean it up real good when you unpack it and lube it up and shoot it. It will take several rounds to break in. It's not quite like a handgun or rifle, but there is a breakin (seating of moving parts) periodfor these parts.

Skeet or trap shooting would serve as a good breaking in session. hpg

It's a Benelli, run it hard and don't be shy.
