PLEASE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO SETTING OR
TUNING THE MACHINE.
CAUTION: ANY MEC CLAY TARGET MACHINE MUST BE IN THE DISARMED STATE WITH THE
BATTERY DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, LOADING THE CLAY
TARGETS OR TRANSPORTATION OF MACHINE.
Step 1
– Securely set the machine in the trap house. See below for the correct way to install the
MEC machine into the trap house.
IF NOT FASTENED SECURELY, SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR
DAMAGE TO MACHINE CAN OCCOUR!!!
DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER.
Ensure that the machine is in the
DISARMED/SAFE
position.
Step 2
– In most cases, your machine has been supplied to you ready to fire. If so, please proceed
to
Step 3
. If your machine is supplied in a box without its carousel (shown below) fitted, you will need
to attach it to the machine. Simply slide the carousel weldment onto the top plate shaft. If no grease
is present, please add a little bit to the shaft. You may have to spin/rotate the carousel counter
clockwise for it to slide on. Next, place the white plastic collar over the boss. Then slide the spring
over the boss. Next, slide the washer over the shaft and tighten the nylon nut so that the washer
bottoms out. As the carousel rotates, the nut may loosen to the correct setting. This is normal.
Step 3
– Your machine is factory set to White Flyer clays. Sizes may vary based on manufacturer, so
you may need to check the height / clearance of the knife-edges by placing a clay in the carousel.
Rotate the carousel so that the clay starts to pass underneath the inner and outer knife separator
blades. The clay must pass freely under the knife separator blades without binding but with the
minimum of clearance. Adjust if necessary,
with 7/16” open ended wrench. You are looking for a gap
about the thickness of a business card, between the horizontal shoulder of the clay and the underside
of the knife edges. Photos below show adjustment with carousel fitted, but you can remove the
carousel to make adjustment easier if preferred.
