IV. Trap Operation
1. Adjusting the Target Retainer
WARNING! BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, MAKE SURE THE THROWING ARM
IS IN THE UNCOCKED POSITION, THE ON/OFF/SAFE RELEASE SWITCH IS IN THE
“OFF” POSITION, AND THE BATTERY IS REMOVED FROM THE TRAP.
For best results, the Target Retainer System splitter height needs to be adjusted for the brand
of target being used. Adjustment is as follows:
Step 1: Load 8 to 10 targets (108mm standard or 110mm international) into one of the
magazine columns.
Step 2: Rotate the magazine clockwise until the column of targets just makes contact with the
target splitter on the leading target retainer roller.
Note: Both rollers are fixed at the same height with respect to each other.
Step 3: The target splitter should be adjusted so that the knife edge of the target splitter is the
same height as the small gap between the first (bottom) and second target in the
column.
Step 4: To raise the height of the target splitters (along with the retainer rollers), loosen the
upper adjusting nylon lock nut on the retainer system and turn the lower nylon lock
nut counter-clockwise until the target splitter is aligned with the gap between the
bottom and second target. After adjusting, tighten the upper adjusting nylon lock nut
to lock the retainer in position.
Step 5: To lower the height of the target splitters (along with the retainer rollers), loosen the
upper adjusting nylon lock nut on the retainer system and turn the lower nylon lock
nut clockwise until the splitter is aligned with the gap between the bottom and second
target. After adjusting, tighten the upper adjusting nylon lock nut to lock the retainer
in position.
Step 6: Test the adjustment by loading the magazine and throwing several targets as
described in the following section to insure the splitters are at the appropriate height.
