VI. Adjustments
1. Throwing Arm Limit Switch
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
DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRAP.
1. The limit switch controls the stop position of the throwing arm during the traps
cocking cycle.
The switch position is set from the factory and only needs
adjustment if a target does not drop while the arm is cocking, or if the
trap continuously fires
. It is important that the switch be properly adjusted to
provide safe and efficient use. The limit switch is located under the trap near
the front. Adjustments to the limit switch are made by loosening the two
mounting screws and moving the switch slightly. Move the switch towards the
center of the trap for the arm to stop further away from the edge of the main
body. Move the switch towards the end of the trap for the arm to stop closer
to the edge of the main body. Be sure to re-tighten the mounting screws after
adjusting the switch.
2. Adjust arm so that a target drops onto the throwing arm as the arm is cocking.
The tip of the arm should stop about 1” - 2” from the edge of the main body of the
trap.
CAUTION!
Adjusting the arm to stop at a point too far away from the spring’s over-
center point can result in a delayed release or improper loading and targets breaking.
WARNING!
ADJUSTING THE ARM TO STOP AT A POINT TOO CLOSE
TO THE SPRING’S OVER-CENTER POINT CAN RESULT IN THE ARM
CONTINUOUSLY FIRING AND CAUSING POTENTIAL INJURY FROM
BEING STRUCK BY THE ARM.
If target has not dropped onto the
throwing arm:
Move switch this direction (towards
the end of the machine) to stop arm
closer to edge of top plate
If arm continuously fires:
Move switch this direction
(towards the center of the
machine) to stop arm further
from edge of top plate
