Ballistic Cart Accessory

012-05460A

Setting Up the Ballistic Cart Accessory

➀

Move the aim adjusting screws (see Figure 2) in and
out to check that the barrel moves freely. Do this by
looking down the barrel while adjusting the screws. If
the barrel sticks it is because the foam catches it. To
remedy this, gently lift up slightly on the edges of the
foam to unstick it from the barrel.

➁

Level the dynamics track. To check if the track is
level, place the cart on the track and give it a small
push in one direction. Then push it in the opposite di-
rection to see if the cart rolls easier in one direction
than the other. Also make the track level from side-to-
side by placing the plastic ball at rest on the track to
see if it rolls one way or the other.

➂

With the cart at rest on the level track, adjust the aim
adjust screws until the ball shoots straight up and
lands back in the catcher cup. Use a penny or dime to
trip the photogate when the cart is at rest. Remember,
the power switch must be turned on before the trip
switch will operate. The LED will blink while the
power is on. Also remember to turn the power switch
off before storing the accessory.

➤

NOTE: The trip switch must be mounted on the

same side as the photogate on the Ballistic Cart. See
Figure 3.

ME-9487 Drop Rod Accessory

Drop Rod Installation

➀

Use the 1

/

2

inch metal screws to fasten the drop rod

clamp to the side of the Ballistic Cart Accessory. See
Figure 4. Screw the thumb screw into the end of the
drop rod clamp.

➁

Thread the cord from the drop rod through the drop
rod clamp and clamp the end of the drop rod by tight-
ening the thumb screw.

➤

CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the screw or

the tube may be crushed.

➂

Plug the drop rod cord into the drop rod jack on the
side of the Ballistic Cart Accessory.

➤

NOTE: Plugging this cord in disables the

launching mechanism of the Ballistic Cart Acces-
sory so when you want to use the launcher you
must unplug the drop rod accessory.

➃

Note that the Drop Rod Accessory requires a special
ball that has an iron
insert. The balls for
the Drop Rod Ac-
cessory and the Bal-
listic Cart Acces-
sory are different
colors so they can
be easily distin-
guished. To hang
the ball from the
drop rod, the pin on
the drop rod must
be inserted into the
small hole in the
ball. See Figure 5.
