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.

This prevents shooters from being able to predict the direction of the next target. Pushing the toggle switch upward allows you to nudge the oscillation motor which pivots the machine from one side to the other enabling you to check the angle of the clays flight.
  • Page 6 ADJUSTING THE ELEVATION OF THE MACHINE Step 8 – Adjust the machine elevation by loosening lever on the side of the machine as shown below. Extending the turnbuckle will tilt the machine backwards to the desired angle. Once the correct angle is achieved, RETIGHTEN the lever. NOTE: you may need to use a ¾” wrench to make this adjustment.
  • Page 7 ADJUSTING THE TILT/ANGLE OF THE MACHINE Step 9 – Adjust the machines tilt by loosening the lever on the rear side (Photo #1) of the upright of the machine as shown below. Tilt the machine to the desired angle by adjusting the turnbuckle. (Photo #2) Adding tilt allows the machine to throw a flat target with no curl.
  • Page 8 CENTERING THE FIELD Step 10 – Set the bolt in the center of the rotation gear box shaft as shown in Photo #1 below. To center the field, fire a clay and see if the clay comes out of the center of the trap house and travels straight away down the center of the field.

  • Page 10 Step 15 – You can adjust the distance that the clay is thrown by extending the spring. This is achieved by winding tension on or off the main spring using a ¾” wrench or the optional ¾” extended socked which can be attached to an impact drive. This should be done with the machine in the disarmed/safe condition for small adjustments.
  • Page 11 Step 19 – Press the fire button on the pull cord or wireless release. This will cause the machine to fire a clay target and then reset to the firing position. Pressing the fire button again will do the same as above.

If damage has occurred the black arm rubber should be replaced. Check for damage to the throwing plate, in case it has been dented, bent or burred.
  • Page 14 3. Carousel does not rotate. Check the following: The Carousel pusher arm is not jammed with broken clays or dirt. The pusher return spring is broken or missing. With the pusher arm withdrawn, the carousel should be free to rotate with a small amount of friction. This is adjusted by tightening or loosening of the lock nut on top of the carousels shaft.
