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.

Photos below show adjustment with carousel fitted, but you can remove the carousel to make adjustment easier if preferred. ** ALL MEC MACHINES ARE SET UP USING THE WHITE FLYER STANDARD TARGETS. ADJUSTMENTS NEED TO BE MADE WHEN USING OTHER BRANDS...

Rotation Toggle Switch – Pushing the switch downward will turn the oscillation motor on. Note that the oscillation motor will randomly start/stop when the machine is in operation. 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.

Step 6 – Standing at arm’s length behind the machine and making sure that all body parts are clear of the machine, push the ARM/OFF/DISARM toggle switch into the DISARM position and then release it as soon as the throwing arm fires. The toggle switch is spring loaded and will return to the off position as soon as the switch is released, stopping the machine from re-arming itself.

ADJUSTING THE ELEVATION OF THE MACHINE Step 8 – For ATA, set the angle of elevation, push the elevation toggle switch upwards to the nudge position and release when the correct elevation is achieved. See the ATA guidelines for correct rules regarding clay height and distance.

ADJUSTING THE TILT/ANGLE OF THE MACHINE Step 12 – 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.

CENTERING THE FIELD Step 13 – 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.

Step 18 – 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.

Step 20 – Now that the machine is set to the correct ATA standards, carefully fully load the carousel with clays, removing any clays that show signs of damage. Load clays as evenly as possible and do not over load. Step 21 –...

FAULT FINDING MECHANICAL CAUTION: ANY MEC MACHINE MUST BE IN THE DISARMED STATE WITH THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, LOADING WITH CLAYS OR TRANSPORTING 1. The Machine breaks clays - Check loading cycle first: Check that clay in the carousel is intact, not chipped or cracked. If in doubt, remove suspect clays and refill with ones known to be intact.
Page 14
Check throwing cycle next: Check that the bolt holding the arm to its clamp block is tight. Check arm for chunks missing from the black arm rubber or any other physical damage to the arm. 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.

Carousel pusher timing is in-correct, i.e. when the gearbox crank and connecting rod are in line at maximum extension, the Rear Pusher nylon for the carousel should be deep into the cut out on the Top Plate (100 e, 200e, 300e.
