Check Contents

 

Having moved the protective card from around the clay pigeon trap, check its contents to ensure they are 
all present. You should have included:

 

• 

Trap fixed to a pallet

 

• 

1 carousel

 

• 

Coil of 50m cable and button unit / or wireless radio remote (if purchased)

 

• 

Bowman barrow (if purchased with the trap)

 

• 

Yellow Safety Ring

 

Positioning and fixing clay pigeon trap

 

Your clay pigeon trap can be fixed onto and operated from a pallet however, we could recommend a more 
permanent bolted position or a Bowman barrow. If you have purchased a barrow position the trap onto the 
barrow and line up the 3 bolt holes. Use the 12mm bolts provided to secure your trap to the barrow. A 
washer should be placed on either side, a spring washer goes on before the nut to secure.   

 

Key Points:

 

 Check your contents

 

 Read thoroughly before 

attempting to assemble or 
operate.

 

 Do not attempt to fit the battery 

until all three assembly tasks 
have been completed!

 

Think! Safety First!

 

These machines can cause serious injury, read these 
instructions prior to assembly and use.

 

If you are missing any contents, are unsure or concerned 
about the use of your clay pigeon trap then please don

hesitate to call bowman

s directly on 01777 870243.
