Step 4
– Check that the ARM/OFF/DISARM switch on the electrical box is in the
OFF
position.
Step 5
– 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 6
– Standing at arm’s length behind the machine and making sure that all body parts are clear
of the machine, push the ARM/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.
Disconnect the power supply to ensure that the machine is not accidentally armed while
adjusting and loading the machine.
Step 7
– Place a couple of clays in each of the carousel columns, for the purpose of testing the clay
flight and trajectory.
