DANGER - THESE MACHINES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY!
READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OR OPERATE!
1.
F
BEFORE:
q
Installing the trap,
q
Connecting power,
q
Lubricating,
q
Loading the magazine or
q
Making any adjustments
F
Be sure that the throwing arm is in the safe,
uncocked position or that the mainspring is
disconnected, the "
ON-OFF-UNCOCK
" toggle
switch on the electrical control box is in the "
OFF
"
position, and the machine is disconnected from the
power source.
NOTE: The "Decocked" position mentioned
throughout this manual refers to the position of
the throwing arm.
2.
All personnel required to operate the trap, or load
targets into the magazine, should read this
instruction manual and be trained by someone
knowledgeable as to the safe operation of the
equipment.
3.
Do not leave trap cocked when not in use. Not
only is this practice very hazardous, but, as the
mainspring is stretched, its useful life will be
shortened.
4.
Only one person should operate the trap at
any one time.
5.
Do not operate the trap without the safety guard
ring installed on the trap as illustrated in this
manual. This safety guard defines the danger zone
of the throwing arm rotation.
6.
Do not lift or move the trap by the throwing arm
or the safety guard. Do not lean on the safety guard
or place any weight on it such as box of targets.
7.
Safety glasses must be worn by all personnel
within close proximity to the trap to prevent eye
injury from flying target fragments.
8.
Always keep children and animals away from
the trap machine.
9.
Before turning on any switches, move to a safe
position at the left rear of the trap and make sure
that no one is within the danger zone in front of the
trap. High-speed fragments from broken targets
being thrown may fly outside the normal target
danger zone, even backwards. (They may even
rebound off traphouse sides etc.). When trap is
cocked and ready for use, always leave the area by
keeping to the rear of the machine.
10.
Before approaching the trap, for any
maintenance, adjustments, or for the loading of
targets, be sure the trap is turned off with the
"ON-
OFF-UNCOCK"
toggle switch on the electrical
control box in the "
OFF
" position, and the throwing
arm is in the "Decocked" 8:45 position.
NOTE: TO DECOCK THE THROWING ARM
AND PLACE THE TRAP IN A SAFE
CONDITION,
MOVE
THE
"ON-OFF-
UNCOCK" TOGGLE SWITCH, ON THE
ELECTRICAL CONTROL BOX, TO THE
"UNCOCK" POSITION, THEN TO THE
"OFF" POSITION. THE THROWING ARM
SHOULD 'FIRE” AND STOP IN THE
"UNCOCKED" POSITION OUT IN FRONT
OF THE TRAP. THEN DISCONNECT
POWER
FROM
THE
ELECTRICAL
CONTROL BOX.
