(b) The clay goes no distance (even though the main spring is wound up tight).
The arm is probably bent upwards causing clay to go under it at its tip. This will also cause clays to
break, the solution, is to straighten or replace the arm.
(c) The clays are inconsistent in direction.
This could be caused by buildup of debris on the throwing plate; dirt, leaves, pieces of broken clay.
This is could also be caused by the front rail not moving freely. Light oil or a mechanical adjust if not
free.
(d) If the machine is a “Midi” or Mini”, the arm timing could have slipped.
3. Carousel does not rotate.
Check the following:
(a) The Carousel pusher arm is not jammed with broken clays or dirt.
(b) The pusher return spring is broken or missing.
(c) With the pusher arm withdrawn, the carousel should be free to rotate with a small amount of friction. This is
adjusted by tightening or loosening of the lock nut on top of the carousels shaft.
(d) 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. 306xp). If your machine is a 400e or 408xp then the rear pusher will be on the radius of the top plate. If
this is not the case, then the clamp on the rear pusher shaft should be adjusted accordingly. It must be tightened
before operation of the machine.
