ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS DISARM MACHINE AND DISCONNECT BATTERY
BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.
Position your body and all body parts behind the unit. Never ap-
proach from the front, stand in front or to the sides of the unit.
Proper care and maintenance will greatly extend the life of your ma-
chine. We recommend the following:
Daily
•
Dirt, dust and target debris should be cleaned off the machine.
Accumulations of debris will result in broken clays, more wear on
bushing and bearings, less than optimum performance and
erodes the protective coating on the machine causing rust to
form. A shop vacuum or blower works well for this task.
•
Check that the batteries are fully charged. A dead or low battery
will result in premature motor and electrical components failure.
We recommend using a digital battery tester.
Two to Four Times a Year
The following maintenance should be performed two to four times a
year, depending on target volume:
•
Inspect the battery cables for loose or corroded connections.
•
Inspect the throwing strip for uneven wear. Uneven wear can re-
sult in broken targets and is an indication that the throwing plate
height needs to be adjusted.
•
Inspect toggle switch and fire button covers for tearing and dry
rot. Replace items as needed to prevent moisture from damaging
electrical components in the housing.
•
Inspect nuts and bolts to insure nothing is loosened or over-
tightened.
•
Lubricate all moving parts with a dry lubricant (i.e. silicone).
•
Grease the grease certs inside the carousel. DO NOT OVER
GREASE. If over greased, the grease will run onto the carousel
plate and cause erratic targets.
