3.  Loosen  Launch  Angle  Knob,  slide  to  adjust  launch  an-

gle to desired position, and tighten Knob. 

4.  Lift the Locking Lever and open the Dummy Launcher. 
5.  Make  sure  there  is 

no  power  load

  in  the  chamber.  

(From this point on, practice 

STAYING CLEAR OF THE 

DUMMY FLIGHT PATH.

6.  Close the Dummy Launcher and lock into place with the 

Locking Lever. 

7.  Slide  a  DT  Launcher  Dummy  completely  onto  the 

Launcher barrel. 

8.  Turn the Remote Receiver ON (

see p. 18

).  Make sure 

the  Motor  Arm  is  not  touching  the  Ratcheting  Safety 
Arm. 

9.  Pull  the  Ratcheting  Cocking  Lever  all  the  way  back.  

The Ratcheting Safety Arm should keep it in place. 

10.  Step away from the launcher. 
11.  Be sure the correct Launcher is selected on the  Selec-

tor Knob and press the “BIRD” button on your transmit-
ter.    The  Remote  Receiver  should  lift  the  Ratcheting 
Safety Arm to release the Ratcheting Cocking Lever. 

CAUTION:

  

Do not launch indoors  with  Launcher  loaded.  

Always check that the Launcher is not loaded before test-
ing.  Keep out of reach of children at all times. 

These are instructions on testing the unit indoors without 
actually firing with a power load.  This will still let you test 
the functions of the unit and will allow you to get familiar 
with the process in a safe, controlled environment.
