Use of the clay pigeon trap
With both tasks complete, the trap is now ready to connect to the battery. When preparing to connect the battery
move to a safe position at the rear of the trap and make sure that NO
-
ONE is in the DANGER ZONE in front of the
trap or inside the area marked out by the safety ring.
Connect the 50m cable release plug or wireless radio receiver to the green socket on the trap, check that the
control box switch is in the off position and then connect the terminals to the battery. To arm the trap, turn the
program switch to
’
on run, the trap will power up and the motor will rotate the throwing arm and stop in the firing
position. Fire the trap by pressing the hand held button (notice that the trap re
-
arms itself ready to fire again). Now
you must disarm the trap in order to load clays and make elevation adjustments.
Disarm and make safe
To disarm and make the trap safe you
‘
flick
’
the program switch to
‘
nudge fire
’.
Notice the trap will fire, but does not re
-
arm with the
throwing arm visible to the left. Remove the battery terminals from the
battery. Load your clays into the carousel. To make elevation
adjustments, there are two lock handles on either side of the trap at the
rear. Release the lever handles, tilt the trap backwards to the desired
height and then re
-
tighten the lever locks. Now you are ready to
re
-
attach the battery terminals (ensuring the program switch is set to
‘
off
’)
and then switch the program to
‘
on run
’
in preparation to fire clays.
Adjusting advance and retard limit switch
The Limit Switch is set to stop the throwing arm just before it goes
‘
over centre
’
and fires. We set this at the facto-
ry however if the arm stops too far from the clay or too close to the centre causing
‘
auto firing
’,
please follow
these instructions to re
-
set it.
“
Disarm and Make Safe Procedure
”
should be followed.
This includes removing the
battery leads so that, with the arm visible to the left, it is safe to adjust the limit switch ring.
Unlock by using a 6mm allen key. Standing in front of the trap and viewing from the top, rotate the ring clockwise
in small increments to stop the arm further away from the clay and anti
-
clockwise to stop the arm closer to the
clay. Re
-
lock the ring and move to a safe position behind the trap. On/run the trap to test the arm position and re
-
adjust if necessary using the same procedure.
Adjusting clay knife separators
We set the knife height at the factory to accommodate standard clays, if you need to alter the height please follow
the written and photographic instructions. The knife separators height can be adjusted by using 2 x 10mm span-
ners. The stainless steel knife should clear the rim of the clay by 0.5mm to operate correctly. To adjust the height,
loosen the locking nut, turn the bolt head clockwise to lower and anti
-
clockwise to raise the knife blades. Once the
correct height is achieved re
-
tighten the locking nut. The knives should ideally clear the driving band of the clay by
3mm thus not damaging the clay in any way.
