Operation
1. Make sure deep cycle battery (not included) is fully charged. Before clamping wobbler and trap alligator clips to battery, make sure the toggle switch on the trap is set to off. NEVER CARRY TRAP BY THROWING ARM – THIS CAN BEND AND AFFECT PERFORMANCE! 2. Connect foot pedal to the corded 3 prong plug coming out of the trap. NEVER PLUG THIS INTO A WALL. 3. Connect red alligator clips to the positive battery post and the black alligator clips to the negative battery post. 4. Flip the toggle switch on the trap up to “disarm.” Once arm moves to 12 o’clock position, turn the machine back off and load STANDARD SIZE CLAYS ONLY into the stacker tube assembly. Once the trap is loaded, you can flip the toggle switch down to “on.” The arm will rotate counterclockwise and automatically load a clay onto the throwing arm. THE TRAP IS NOW COCKED. PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION. 5. To turn the wobbler on, flip the switch to on. The wobbler will begin moving the trap head side to side until it is manually turned off. 6. ALWAYS set trap up pointing away from bystanders, trees, and animals with a recommended 400 meter open field/shot fall zone. Always look over the trap for damage and test throw a few clay pigeons before use to make sure the trap is operating properly. NEVER ADJUST TRAP WHEN COCKED AND IN FIRING POSITION!!! 7. With the shooter/bystanders standing to the left or behind the trap, press the foot pedal to throw the clay!
8. When you are done shooting, switch the toggle switch to disarm, hold the foot pedal down until the throwing arm reaches 12 o’clock, and turn the toggle switch to off. The trap is now safe to unload/move.

Troubleshooting
ALWAYS REMOVE MAIN SPRING PRIOR TO TROUBLESHOOTING

MACHINE NOT TURNING ON
1. CHECK BATTERY CONNECTION. THE MACHINE DRAWS 16 AMPS TO WORK PROPERLY. WE RECOMMEND A DEEP CYCLE BATTERY WITH A MINIMUM OF 675 COLD CRANKING AMPS.
2. CHECK THE 15A AUTOMOTIVE BLADE FUSE IN THE REAR OF THE TRAP HEAD. REMOVE THE COVER AND PULL THE FUSE OUT TO INSPECT. REPLACE AS NEEDED.

3. CHECK RELAY. PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE IF ISSUES CONTINUE.

AUTO FIRING/NOT FIRING
1. IF THE TRAP CONTINUES TO FIRE, UNPLUG THE FOOT PEDAL. IF IT STOPS, THE SCREWS ON THE FOOT PEDAL NEED TO BE LOOSENED TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL DURING OPERATION.
2. IF FOOT PEDAL ISSUES CONTINUE, PLEASE SEE OUR TROUBLESHOOTING PAGE ON OUR WEBSITE FOR TESTING YOUR FOOT PEDAL.
3. ONCE YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED YOUR FOOT PEDAL IS NOT THE ISSUE, MOVE ON TO THE LIMIT SWITCH. IF YOUR TRAP CONTINUES TO AUTO FIRE, USE A 2.5MM ALLEN WRENCH TO LOOSEN
THE ALLEN SCREW AND ADJUST THE LIMIT SWITCH UP SO THE ARM WILL TRIGGER THE LIMIT SWITCH EARLIER TO STOP THE ARM
FROM CONTINUOUS FIRING
4. IF THE TRAP WILL NOT FIRE AND COINCIDES WITH THE LIMIT SWITCH, THIS MEANS THE ARM IS STOPPING TOO SOON. THE LIMIT SWITCH NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED DOWN AND THEN
RECHECKED TO ENSURE PROPER FIRING
5. A GOOD RULE OF THUMB FOR ARM PLACEMENT WHEN LOADED IS TO MAKE SURE THE CLAY LOADS BETWEEN 1/2 AND 1 INCH FROM THE RUBBER STRIP. IF IT’S FARTHER, THE
ARM IS STOPPING TOO SOON.

BREAKING CLAY PIGEONS
1. MAKE SURE THE TURRET ASSEMBLY IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND ALL BOLTS AND POLES ARE SECURELY TIGHTENED.

2. IF TRAP IS “JUMPING” AROUND WHEN THE ARM SWINGS, THIS COULD BREAK CLAYS IN THE STACK OR WHILE LOADING ONTO ARM. THE TRAP SHOULD BE SECURED USING STAKES (NOT
INCLUDED) OR BY MOUNTING TO A BOARD OR PIECE OF PLYWOOD FOR STABILITY.

3. SOMETIMES WHEN THE STACK IS DOWN TO A FEW CLAYS, THE MOTION OF THE TRAP CAN THROW THE CLAY PIGEONS AROUND AND THEY BREAK. ONCE YOU GET DOWN TO 2-3
CLAYS LEFT, ADD MORE TO WEIGH DOWN THE STACK AND CONTINUE SHOOTING!

4. CHECK TO SEE WHERE THE BASE OF FEEDER BRUSHES ARE TO THE TOP OF THE CLAY

ARM. THE MOUNTING HARDWARE SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THE TOP OF THE BIRD. IF THIS IS

HAPPENING, THE ARM OR CHASSIS IS BENT
