Adjusting the timing of the carousel
The timing of the your carousel is set at the Bowman factory. We set is so that when the trap is switched to 'on
run', the carousel indexes around and places a stack of clays over the hole in the main plate. The knives are
responsible for splitting the clays and allowing 1 clay to fall through while the rest remain supported.
Note: The 4 poles should be
evenly spaced within the hole of
the main plate when you turn to
on run. If your carousel timing is
out follow the instructions.
Servicing - Lubrication
The following moving parts of the Supermatch 6&8 need top be lubricated once a month, particularly if the trap is
left outside in all weather conditions. We use a chain oil lubricant CD90 for lubricating moving parts. GT85 is used
as a water displacement spray to protect motors, wires and the main spring from damp conditions and for cleaning
out clay dust from moving parts. There are three grease nipples which need regular greasing they are located 1)
on the center boss of the carousel, 2) on the rod end bearing pictured below and 3) opposite the rod end bearing
located on the other side of the casting. Use a grease gun to pump grease into the grease nipples.
Grease
Nipple
To alter the timing, loosen the
M10 bolt on the pinch block. This
will allow you to move the yellow
spacer on the push bar in small
increments to the right if the poles
are short of the hole or to the left
if they have gone past.
