SIDE-KICK REMOTE LAUNCHER
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
>>
BLANK POWER CHARGES
Choose your power charge based on the distance you wish to throw the dummy. Use only those charges
intended for the Side-Kick Remote Launcher.
• Light Green Load - Distance of approximately 75’-100’
• Medium Yellow Load - Distance of approximately 100’-150’
• Heavy Red Load - Distance of approximately 150’ - 200’
1) Place your Side-Kick Remote Launcher where you will be training with it. Spread the legs open and press down on the
leg spreader bar until the legs are in the LOCKED open position. Loosen the angle adjustment knob and position legs so
that the desired launch angle is achieved. ENSURE THAT IT IS FULLY LEVEL AND NEVER USED ON UNEVEN GROUND!

PREPARATION FOR FIRING
2) Press the 2 metal stakes into the ground so that the hooks on top
of the stake captures and secures the leg spreader bar and securely holds the
Side-Kick on the ground. Place the stakes on either side of the leg spreader bar
approximately 1 inch from either outside leg.
3) Install any RRT Dummy onto each launcher.
4) Open the breech of the Launcher by depressing the thumb latch. Install a green,
yellow or red power level Blank Cartridge.
!!! WARNING !!!
BEFORE PERFORMING THE NEXT STEPS USE EXTREME CAUTION!!
BE SURE YOUR FULL BODY, SURROUNDING PERSONS AND ANIMALS ARE IN A POSITION THAT IS
OPPOSITE FROM THE DIRECTION OF ANY OR ALL OF THE LAUNCHERS WHERE THE DUMMIES ARE
POINTING AND THE REMOTE RECEIVER IS TURNED OFF AS WELL AS UNPLUGGED FROM THE TUBE
CONNECTING HARNESS!
5) Close the breech of the RRT Hand Held Launcher
6) Turn the servo arm so it is pointing in the 1 o’clock position. Some models of release systems will not send a signal that
is long enough to move the servo arm from 1 o’clock around and fire the launcher. If this happens, try setting the servo
arms to 2 o’clock or 3 o’clock. This will shorten the distance the servo arm needs to travel, allowing it to fire the launcher
with a single press of the button.
7) Locate the remote to the receiver that you are using and ensure that it is clear of any pressure on it. Do not keep in your
pocket or leave it placed on the ground where it could be walked on. ACCIDENTAL DEPRESSION OF THE BUTTON WILL
CAUSE THE SIDE-KICK REMOTE UNIT TO FIRE AND COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
8) Slide the pin/pull ring back and seat the pin into the notch ensuring that it is as far left as it can be positioned.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE OF THE PIN WILL CAUSE THE FIRING PIN TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE POWER CHARGE
AND THE LAUNCH OF THE DUMMY WILL OCCUR! ALWAYS KEEP YOURSELF, SURROUNDING PERSONS AND
ANIMALS FULLY CLEAR OF THE UNIT, LAUNCHERS, LAUNCHER DIRECTION AND DUMMYS!
If using multiple Side-Kicks in the same location check to ensure that you do not have any launch interference with the
launchers and/or bumpers of other Side-Kicks. Every path of launch must be clear of obstruction!
When you have completed above steps with extreme caution and you and surrounding persons and animals have full
clearance you may plug the remote receiver into the Tube Connecting Harness and turn the power switch on.
You are now ready to fire your Side-Kick Remote Launcher!
