Gunners Up GUORGWGRRS Remote Launcher

OWNER’S MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing the Gunners Up Remote Launcher. I have spent many days in the field training my retrievers—alone or with expensive hired help. I saw a need, both by myself and by others, for a reliable and economical way to train retrievers. It was through this need that the inspiration and passion for Gunners Up was born. I am confident that the Gunners Up Remote Launcher will become an integral tool in your retriever training program and will help you and your retriever achieve all your competitive goals.

Please use this manual to become familiar with your remote launcher. Always keep in mind, this is a serious tool for retriever training and must be respected as such. Gunners Up has taken great care in the design and manufacture of your launcher; failure to heed the safety warnings and follow the operating procedures set forth in this manual could result in bodily injury to yourself or others.

Wishing you successful training,

-Your Gunners Up Team

SAFET Y GUIDELINES

STOWING YOUR REMOTE L AUNCHER

1. Important Notice: Release all tension on the tubes before unfolding or folding the launcher forks.
2. Always use Safe-Pins on forks! Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
3. After releasing the tension on the tubes, simply reverse the set-up procedure and you’re ready to go.

CARE AND C LEANING

UV rays will naturally breakdown the latex tubing. When not in use, limit the tubing’s exposure to the sun. Always check tubes for tears and nicks before use. If a tear or nick is detected, discontinue use and replace tube immediately.

Clean your launcher with soap and water—do not use chemical cleaners. Use only soft towels or pads—do not use harsh or abrasive chemicals, brushes or pads. Towel-dry your launcher or allow to air-dry. For optimal performance and longevity, ensure that your launcher is dry and clean when stowing.

Do not set base of launcher in water.

ELECTRONICS

The electronic wiring harness provided with the Original Gunners Up Remote Launcher series, the Gunners Up Son Of A Gun series and the Gunners Up Box Style Launcher, are user-friendly to all brands of receivers. No adaptor is necessary.

SET-UP AND USE

PART A – FRONT LEGS

1. Stand remote launcher upright with the legs facing toward the direction you would like the mark to fall.
2. Pull on the legs so that they separate from the plastic clips disengaging from the main body of the remote launcher. Once legs are disengaged from the clips, push the ends of the legs into the ground to establish a firm base.

PART B – LAUNCHER FORKS

1. Disconnect the four rings from the hooks on the main body of the launcher.
2. Pull the forks of the launcher up until the hinges lock into place.

3. Insert Safe-Pins into hinges!

WARNING

Always secure the hinge position by inserting the Safe-Pins into the holes on the hinges!

PART B – LAUNCHER FORKS (continued)

1. Attach the electronic receiver to the frame of the launcher and plug in the wire lead.

PART C – LOADING THE REMOTE LAUNCHER

WARNING

Do not place head or hands over basket while hooking up tubes!

2. For simulated gun sound, place a 209 primer into the hole at the left hand side of the release mechanism.

Note: If the primer should come loose or jump out of the primer hole, place a small amount of “Permatex #2 Form-A-Gasket” into the hole.

3. Pull the ring on the bird pouch downward and place it over the latch.
Position the ring at the RED MARK on the latch. Make sure the latch and the trigger are secure. Secure the safety bar behind the trigger.
4. Hooking up the resistance tubes.

Stay behind the launcher while hooking up the tubes. Pull each of the four tube-rings down separately to the appropriate anchor hook as follows:
(Use either the upper hooks for shorter marks or use the lower hooks for longer marks)
First, attach the front, right-side tube-ring to the appropriate right-side hook (upper or lower).
Second, attach the back, right-side tube-ring to the appropriate right-side hook (upper or lower).
Third, repeat process on the left side.
5. It is best to vertically insert your bird or dummy, head-first into the bird pouch. Make sure that the wings, head and feet are securely tucked.
6. Once all is in place, pull the safety bar, with lanyard provided, to the firing position. You are now ready to launch your mark. Set transmitter to the appropriate receiver and press button.
