Step 5
– Check that the ON/OFF/DISARM toggle switch on the grey control box
in the OFF position. Connect the terminals from the wire harness to the battery.
A fully charged good quality deep cycle marine battery is recommended. It is
imperative that the
Red Wire
goes to positive (+) and
Black Wire
goes to
negative (-) on the battery. Never hammer the terminals onto the post of the
battery and do not over tighten the terminals.
Step 6
– Visually check, from the rear of the machine, that the motion of the
Throwing Arm is not restricted or blocked in any way.
CAUTION: ALWAYS OPERATE THE MACHINE FROM BEHIND,
NEVER FROM THE FRONT OR THE SIDES OF THE MACHINE.
KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS AWAY FROM THE MACHINE
WHEN ARMING, RELEASING AND DISARMING.
Step 7
– Standing at arm’s length behind the machine and making sure that all
body parts are clear of the machine, push the ON/OFF/DISARM toggle switch
into the DISARM position and then release it as soon as the throwing arm fires.
The toggle switch is spring loaded and will return to the off position as soon as
the switch is released stopping the machine from re-arming itself. If done
correctly the arm will be pointing away from the left side of the machine when
viewed from behind (right handed machines only). On left handed machines the
arm will point away from the right side of the machine. The machine will now be
in a safe condition.
Disconnect the terminals from the battery to ensure that the machine is not
accidentally armed while adjusting and loading the machine.
