FOR MEC MODEL 300E/400E CHANDELLE
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 on level ground, either on the optional T Cart
with hardware supplied or a pallet. If using a pallet, please make sure that it is
fastened with clamps to keep machine from tipping.
IF NOT FASTENED
SECURELY, SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO MACHINE CAN OCCOUR!!!
DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY. 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 for it
to slide on. Next, place the gray plastic collar over the shaft and onto the flange
bearing in the carousel. Now place the ¾" washer and nut onto the threads and
tighten. Do not over tighten. You want a little bit of resistance there, but not too
much. You shouldn't be able to spin the carousel with one finger.
