Lubrication
The following moving parts of the Supermatch 6&8 need top be lubricated once a month, particularly if the trap is left
outside in all weather conditions. We use a chain oil lubricant CD90 for lubricating moving parts. GT85 is used as a
water displacement spray to protect motors, wires and the main spring from damp conditions and for cleaning out
clay dust from moving parts.
Ensure that the joint remains
lubricated and free moving so the push
bar can index the carousel.
Ensure moving joints powered by the
motor are well lubricated
Lubricate these areas. Avoid putting any grease
onto the plate of the throwing arm.
Electric Box
The motor is protected by either a fuse or circuit breaker housed in the control box. If the fuse is activated it can
easily be replaced. Two spare fuses are supplied in the control box. If the circuit breaker is activated the Thermal
Overload reset button will pop up to cut the power.
Before replacing the fuse or pressing the Thermal Over-
load reset button to re
-
activate the trap you must turn the 3 position switch to off and disconnect the
battery to investigate the reason for the malfunction
.
Most commonly this is because of a flat battery or the
throwing arm is jammed.
Please be aware the throwing arm may be parked in a dangerous position so be
careful not to place yourself in harms way while you investigate or when you re
-
activate the trap.
