Falcon 6 & 8 stack Carousel Timing Method

Launcher-Rear-Pusher-Timing-Method-fig-1

The reason the carousel timing is important is that the clay must be moved over the top plate drop hole in order for it to drop onto the casting plate. This must be done during the firing/reloading cycle, but before the throwing arm returns to its firing position.

Make the trap safe by nudging the trap until it fires. Continue to nudge until the gearbox clamp block and the crank are in line with each other and the gearbox crank points toward the rear of the machine.
Disconnect the power to the trap.
Slacken the rear pusher clamp block bolt.
Rotate the rear pusher anti-clockwise (when viewed from above) until the nylon roller is just clear (2-3mm gap) inside the notch at the rear of the top plate.
Tighten the rear pusher clamp block bolt
Test the machine
