8. Installing the Mainspring
1. Remove the plastic tie holding the arm in place and rotate the arm counter clockwise 180
°
so it is facing forward of the trap in the 12 o’clock position. Remove Mainspring (D-2) and
all remaining hardware from shipping cartons and bags.
2. Mainspring Hex Bolt (D-3) should be assembled into Mainspring (D-2) through largest
opening with the threaded end of mainspring bolt showing.
3. Place Mainspring and Bolt inside body of trap and push threaded end of Mainspring Bolt
through hole in rear of body.
4. Attach the hook end of the mainspring through the crankshaft eyebolt located inside of trap
body. First remove the wire tie holding the eyebolt in position and rotate the eyebolt so it is
pointing toward rear of trap.
5. Slide Mainspring Bushing (D-4) over Mainspring Hex Bolt so small end fits into trap body
6. Attach Flat Washer (D-5) and Tension Adjustment Flange Nut (D-6)
7. With the throwing arm still facing forward of the trap, tighten the Tension Adjustment Flange
Nut until all the slack is taken up in the spring and bolt. This is the minimum spring tension
point and operating the trap at any less tension will cause “spring slap” that can damage
the machine. Add the Tension Adjustment Lock Nut (D-7) and tighten against 1st nut.
8. The throwing arm is now in the uncocked position and is under minimum tension.
