Use of the clay pigeon trap

 

With all three tasks complete, the trap is now ready to connect to the battery. Do not add clays into the carousel 
at this point. When preparing to connect the battery move to a safe position at the rear of the trap and make 
sure that NO

-

ONE is in the DANGER ZONE in front of the trap or inside the area marked out by the safety ring. 

 

Connect the 50m cable release plug or wireless radio receiver to the green socket on the trap, check that the 
programme switch on the control box is in the off position and then connect the terminals to the battery. To arm 
the trap, turn the program switch to 

on run

’, 

the trap will power up and the motor will rotate the throwing arm 

and stop in the firing position. Fire the trap by pressing the hand held button (notice that the trap re

-

arms itself 

ready to fire again). Now you must disarm the trap in order to load clays and make elevation adjustments. 

 

Disarm and make safe

 

To disarm and make the trap safe you 

flick

’ 

the program switch to 

nudge fire

’. 

Notice the trap will fire, but does 

not re

-

arm with the throwing arm visible to the left. Remove the battery terminals from the battery. Load clays 

and make elevation adjustments as necessary, then you will be ready to re

-

attach the battery terminals 

(ensuring the program switch is set to 

off

’) 

and switch the program to 

on run

’ 

in preparation to fire clays. 

 

Note: When the trap is armed and ready to fire, turning the program switch to off WILL NOT make the 
trap safe, it MUST be de

-

cocked using nudge fire and the power source removed before being 

completely safe. 

 

 

 

Elevation

 

To make elevation adjustments, release the elevation lever 
lock (1), tilt the trap backwards to the desired height and then 
re

-

tighten the lever lock. Note: there are 2 threaded holes in 

the casting for elevation. You can move the handle into the 
second hole to increase the elevation potential of the trap. 

 

Tilt

 

To tilt the trap 40° left or right, release the tilt lever lock (2), 
pull the plunger (3) out of the tilt base and tilt the trap to the 
desired angle. When the desired angle is achieved release the 
plunger so that it can locate into a hole on the tilt base and re

-

tighten the tilt lever lock handle (2). 

 

3. Third task: fit the carousel

 

Remove nut and clutch washers. Position the carousel on the 
shaft and re

-

fit the washers in the order they were removed. The 

domes of the clutch washers pointing towards each other and 
positioned between the 2 flat washers (see photograph). Tighten 
the nut until carousel offers moderate resistance when rotating. 
VERY IMPORTANT pump grease into main boss for smooth 
rotation. Use a grease gun and the grease nipple on the carousel 
boss.
