Adjusting advance and retard limit switch

The Limit Switch is set to stop the throwing arm just before it goes
'over centre' and fires. We set this at the factory however if the arm
stops too far from the clay or too close to the centre causing 'auto fir-
ing', please follow these instructions to re-set it. "Disarm and Make
Safe Procedure" should be followed.
tery leads so that, with the arm visible to the left, it is safe to adjust the
limit switch ring.
Unlock by using a 6mm allen key. Standing in front of the trap and viewing from the top, rotate the ring clockwise
in small increments to stop the arm further away from the clay and anti-clockwise to stop the arm closer to the
clay. Re-lock the ring and move to a safe position behind the trap. On/run the trap to test the arm position and re-
adjust if necessary using the same procedure.

Adjusting clay knife separators

We set the knife height at the factory to accommodate standard clays, if you need to alter the height please follow
the written and photographic instructions. The knife separators height can be adjusted by using 2 x 10mm
spanners. The stainless steel knife should clear the rim of the clay by 0.5mm to operate correctly. To adjust the
height, loosen the locking nut, turn the bolt head clockwise to lower and anti-clockwise to raise the knife blades.
Once the correct height is achieved re-tighten the locking nut. The knives should ideally clear the driving band of
the clay by 3mm thus not damaging the clay in any way.
