Adjusting clay knife separators

 

We set the knife height at the factory to accommodate standard clays, if you need to alter the height please follow 
the written and photographic instructions. The knife separators height can be adjusted by using 2 x 10mm 
spanners. The stainless steel knife should clear the rim of the clay by 0.5mm to operate correctly. To adjust the 
height, loosen the locking nut, turn the bolt head clockwise to lower and anti

-

clockwise to raise the knife blades. 

Once the correct height is achieved re

-

tighten the locking nut. The knives should ideally clear the driving band of 

the clay by 3mm thus not damaging the clay in any way. 

 

 

Electric Box

 

The motor is protected by either a fuse or circuit breaker housed in the control box. If the fuse is activated it can 
easily be replaced. Two spare fuses are supplied in the control box. If the circuit breaker is activated the Thermal 
Overload reset button will pop up to cut the power. 

Before replacing the fuse or pressing the Thermal 

Overload reset button to re

-

activate the trap you must turn the 3 position switch to off and disconnect the 

battery to investigate the reason for the malfunction

.

 Most commonly this is because of a flat battery or the 

throwing arm is jammed. 

Please be aware the throwing arm may be parked in a dangerous position so be 

careful not to place yourself in harms way while you investigate or when you re

-

activate the trap.

This includes removing the bat-

Unlock by using a 6mm allen key. Standing in front of the trap and viewing from the top, rotate the ring clockwise 
in small increments to stop the arm further away from the clay and anti
