Fit Trap mount & connect linkage to rotation wheel:
(All versions)
Insert the trap mount’s lower pin through the bearing in the rotation box as shown
below, secure with the circlip provided. Fit a threaded spigot to the trap mount, then
fit a lightly greased washer, attach the short end of the linkage as shown below and
secure with a spring clip which simply slides into the fine groove, snapping in place
over the end of the shaft.
Fit the other threaded spigot into any of the holes of the rotating wheel, fit another
lightly greased washer to this spigot and connect the other end of the linkage with a
spring clip as before.
Mount the trap onto the base:
The trap should now be mounted onto the trap carrier. Use a nylock nut and washer on
the pivot points, tighten these until the trap can just pivot freely on the base without
any resistance being felt.
Rear support stay:
If a rotation box only is fitted (DTL trap) the rear support stay (removed from the old
trap base) should be fitted to the trap mount using the original bolt & washer as shown
above. Note this is fixed into the hexagonal hole in the trap carrier using the locking
nut “backwards” i.e. the hexagon is placed into the hole and the bolt fitted through it
so that the flange is on the inside of the trap carrier locking the assembly in place.
If an elevation box is to be fitted (ABT trap) the rear support stay should not be fitted as
this could allow the frame to become locked causing damage to the elevation motor or
linkage.
