QUICK TIPS
Before You Go Out:
•
Purchase and use only D.T. recommended GREEN and
YELLOW power loads. RED power loads can be used
but are not recommended as they will cause faster wear
and tear on your unit and dummy.
•
Be familiar with the operation of your dummy launcher
and test your unit (
see p.10-12
).
•
Make a checklist of needed items for your training ses-
sion (launcher, dummy, protective eyewear, hearing pro-
tection, power loads, etc.).
•
Make sure your dog is in proper condition for these train-
ing exercises.
At the Training Site:
•
Find a large open area where the operation of your
launcher will not be a disturbance to the public.
•
Always wear protective hearing/eye gear during use.
•
Make sure your dog is always under control when load-
ing the launcher. Keep your dog away from the
launcher, especially when loaded.
•
Make sure your launcher is unloaded when training is
complete.
•
Take everything from your checklist with you when leav-
ing the training site (including empty shells).
After Your Training Session:
•
Again, make sure the launcher is unloaded.
•
Follow all maintenance instructions (
see p.13
).
