STEP 7.
COCKING AND FIRING TRAP (FIG-7, 8 & 9).
WARNING: IMPACT FROM THE POWERFUL SPRING LOADED
THROWING ARM CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH. OPERATE TRAP FROM REAR ONLY. STAY CLEAR OF
THROWING ARM AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT LEAVE TRAP COCKED
AND UNATTENDED.
Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened securely. Check Trigger
and Ratchet Springs to assure they are properly installed.
Once assembled, the Throwing Arm will be at a 12 o'clock position as
viewed from the rear. To cock the trap, grasp the Throwing Arm and
pull the Throwing Arm into the 6 o'clock position until the tab at the
end of Throwing Arm pushes up against the Trigger Post.
WARNING: FAILURE TO KEEP HANDS AND BODY OUTSIDE
THE THROWING AREA PATH INDICATOR AREA WILL RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Press Trigger to release Arm. Throwing Arm will return to the 9
o'clock position. Firmly grasp the Throwing Arm again and repeat the
cocking procedure.
STEP 8.
LOADING TARGETS (FIG 8 & 9).
WARNING: IMPACT FROM THE POWERFUL SPRING LOADED
THROWING ARM CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH. ALWAYS LOAD TARGETS FROM THE LEFT, REAR SIDE OF
TRAP. ARM MUST BE IN THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION. DO NOT LOAD
TARGETS, ADJUST TARGET CLIP, OR THE FLIGHT CONTROL RAIL
WITH THE THROWING ARM IN THE 6 O'CLOCK, FULLY COCKED
POSITION.
The Throwing Arm will be at approximately the 9 o'clock position after
you have practiced cocking and firing. Place a target on the Throwing
Arm with the lip of the target tucked under the Flight Control Rail.
Slide the target under the Target Clip to the desired position along
the Throwing Arm. The Target Clip should press against the target
just enough to hold it in place. If an adjustment is needed, slightly
bend the Target Clip until the desired amount of pressure is obtained.
Practice loading targets on the arm a few times before proceeding.
CAUTION: SETTING THE TARGET CLIP TOO TIGHT CAN
CAUSE UNPREDICTABLE TARGET FLIGHT WHICH COULD RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS SET TARGET CLIP TO CONTACT
TARGET LIGHTLY. INCREASE PRESSURE IF REQUIRED.
