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.
Remote Disarm Socket The machine is supplied with a remote disarm box assembly and 10ft. of
cable. This unit plugs into the remote disarm socket on the control box, allowing the remote disarm
box assembly to be placed by the opening of the trap house. The user can now disarm the machine
before entering the trap house.
Fire Button The fire button allows you to test fire the machine from inside the trap house.
Disarm/Off/Arm Pushing the switch downward to the arm state will arm the machine. Pushing the
switch upward will cause the machine to fire (if in armed state) and disarm when the switch is
released. Note holding the disarm toggle will continually fire clay targets. Please use caution!
Breakers The breaker on the left is for the oscillation motor. The breaker on the right is for the
cocking motor. If the breaker trips, it needs to be pushed back in to reset.

Step 4 Check that the ARM/OFF/DISARM switch on the electrical box is in the OFF position.
Step 5 Visually check, from the rear of the machine, that the motion of the Throwing Arm is not
restricted or blocked in any way.
CAUTION: ALWAYS OPERATE THE MACHINE FROM BEHIND, NEVER FROM
THE FRONT OR THE SIDES OF THE MACHINE. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS
AWAY FROM THE MACHINE WHEN ARMING, RELEASING AND DISARMING.
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. If done
correctly the arm will be pointing away from the left side of the machine when viewed from behind.
Disconnect the power supply to ensure that the machine is not accidentally armed while
adjusting and loading the machine.
Step 7 Place a couple of clays in each of the carousel columns, for the purpose of testing the clay
flight and trajectory.
