3. Distance Adjustment
WARNING! BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, MAKE SURE THE
THROWING ARM IS IN THE UNCOCKED POSITION, THE ON/OFF/SAFE
RELEASE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION, AND THE BATTERY IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRAP.
THIS TRAP IS CAPABLE OF THROWING TARGETS A MAXIMUM DISTANCE
OF 75 YARDS. USE ONLY IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS NO RISK OF
CAUSING DAMAGE, OR HITTING A PERSON WITH A TARGET.
The trap has an adjustable throwing range of approximately 55 to 75 yards. Adjustments to
throwing distance are made by adjusting the mainspring tension.
1. Loosen the Tension Adjustment Lock Nut. Turn the Tension Adjustment Flange Nut
clockwise to increase spring tension and target distance, or counter-clockwise to decrease
spring tension and target distance.
2. Maximum spring tension is set when mainspring bushing contacts the step on the
mainspring bolt. At this point the Tension Adjustment Flange Nut cannot be turned
clockwise any farther. It is recommended spring tension be adjusted in five-turn increments
and the results observed before adjusting further .
3. Make sure the spring tension is not reduced to the point that there is slack in the spring
when the arm is in the twelve o’clock position (straight out in front). Take up any slack in
the spring when the arm is in this position. This is the minimum tension point to ensure that
damaging spring slap does not occur.
4. After adjusting the spring to the desired tension, tighten the Tension Adjustment Lock Nut
against the Tension Adjustment Flange Nut to lock the setting in place.
