Connecng the baery:
Ensure you are behind the machine, the ARM/DISARM switch is in the OFF posion
and it is otherwise safe to proceed. Connect the red cable to the Red (+) terminal
and the black cable to the Black (-) Terminal. Ensure the terminal fasteners are
ght, the baery is securely strapped to its tray and the charger has been removed.
Never approach the machine from the front or sides, Do not assume
the trap is safe even without electrical power it may sll be armed.
Electrical Troubleshoong :
Trap fails to re-arm - aer a period of prolonged use the trap fails to re-arm itself
and is found to be stalled (may also be making a humming sound) then this is an
indicaon that the baery is depleted, and the voltage has fallen too low to oper-
ate the trap. Disconnect the baery immediately and re-charge (or t a replace-
ment fully-charged baery).
Although the baery may appear to have recovered, the trap should not be used
any further than necessary to make it safe as this may cause damage to the motor,
Baery or other electrical circuits.
Trap res by itself - Disconnect any external cable and switch the trap back on. If
the trap arms normally then the command cable is faulty. If the trap connues to
re, switch the machine o and disconnect the baery. Check the roller switch is
moving freely and an audible click can be heard when it is moved. Re-test the ma-
chine. If the machine sll res by itself then the Roller switch is faulty and must be
replaced.
Circuit breaker has operated - The baery may have been incorrectly ed
(terminals reversed) or an excessive amount of current was drawn either due to a
fault or obstrucon within the trap.
If the circuit breaker has tripped due to an obstrucon DO NOT AS-
SUME THE TRAP IS SAFE it may sll be armed with the obstrucon
holding back the energy from the spring - carefully clear the obstruc-
on whilst remaining in the safe area behind the trap BE AWARE of
the path of the throwing arm AND the debris that may be ejected.
