- Page 6 Setting the field - continued Single Setup Doubles targets “straight away” Single Target Doubles Setup “equal field” Random Interrupter The signature ATA machine is designed to throw targets at random angles, and has been equipped with a timer device to interrupt irregularly the oscillation of the trap, making it difficult for the shooter to “read the target”.

- Page 8 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.
- Page 9 Quick Adjustment using Hand Wheel When changing from doubles or singles the spring will need to be adjusted. The machine is supplied with two locking collars for the convenience of being able to pre-set the desired tensions for quick and easy change over from singles to dou- bles.
- Page 10 Adjusting the Spread of the Targets Casting Plate When launching doubles, the spread of the clays is adjustable. Loosen the wing-nut on the underside of the casting plate and pivot the back rail forwards to reduce the spread, or backwards to increase the spread of the clays.

- Page 12 Adjustment: Throwing arm timing Disarm the machine by flicking the ARM/DISARM switch upwards towards the DISARM position and immediately releasing (long enough for the trap to fire, but not giving the machine a chance to rearm). The gearbox block will now be pointing towards the front of the machine.
- Page 13 Solenoid release Mechanism Solenoid release mechanisms are used on machines where an instantaneous re- lease of the target is required. The solenoid release mechanism consists of a re- lease bearing fitted to the throwing arm, a trigger assembly which pivots on a bar mounted on a bracket and a solenoid to move the trigger out of the way to allow the release bearing to move past it when the trap is fired.
- Page 14 Setting the Solenoid With the trap in the DIS-ARMED/SAFE position; standing at the rear of the trap, adjust the roller switch out to the left side of the machine as far as it will go. Press the toggle switch to “ON”. The machine will load a clay and come to the cocked position and is now ready to fire.
- Page 15 Setting the Solenoid (Continued) With the arm timing set correctly, the roller switch needs to be adjusted back in to the correct position. Before making any adjustment ensure that the machine is in DIS-ARMED/SAFE position. It is best to move the roller switch back in towards the trap about 2-3mm (1/8") at a time.
- Page 16 Carousel Timing When the trap fires the clay stacks need to advance smoothly through the knife edges with enough momentum to reach the drop hole and still have enough clearance to drop properly through it. Block Set the crank at its furthest forward position by nudging (the trap will fire) next undo and remove the lock bolt through the locking ring and slacken the rear pusher clamp bolt.
- Page 17 Transit Mode Procedure - This is recommended for machine transportation. Warning: Stand at rear of machine only Disarm the machine by flicking the ARM/DISARM switch momentarily to- wards the DISARM position and immediately releasing (long enough for the trap to fire, but not giving the machine a chance to rearm). The throwing arm should be pointing towards the front of the machine.
- Page 18 As the throwing arm gets to the firing position (pointing directly to the back of the machine) the spring will take over, moving the arm onto the drive bolt on the Gearbox block. This will stop the arm and prevent it from firing. This is TRANSIT MODE.
