The spring tension adjustment
In addition to the main spring fixing/tensioning nut this trap is fitted with a quick
action hand wheel which adjusts the spring tension between two stops, allowing
rapid selection between pre-determined settings, ideal for quickly changing be-
tween the settings for single or double targets.
Adjusting initial spring tension
It is recommended that the spring tension is first set for the trap to function cor-
rectly in doubles mode.
Decrease tension
—Loosen inside nut , then loosen outside nut to desired position.
Re-tighten inside nut.
Increase tension
—Loosen inside nut to required position, then tighten outside nut
until frame meets inside nut. Re-tighten inside nut.
Important: leave 30mm (1
3/16
”) thread length
between inside nut and spring coil. Increasing
spring tension up to full length of thread will seri-
ously detriment the performance of the machine
and will cause spring damage or failure.
