Start-up information:

 

 

GP                SC-280 or 360                  12V.

 

 

All GP machines are test fired with White Flyer targets from Webb City, Mo.

 

1)     Uncrate and inspect machine for any shipping damage. Be sure all cable ties and packing materials are removed, so machine will operate correctly.

 

2)     Bolt on front hoop. DO NOT operate machine without front hoop in place.

 

3)     When mounting machine in a trap house, be sure your pedestal is strong enough to support machine. Base plate needs to be bolted down securely to existing pedestal or floor. Make sure existing pedestal or floor is level and existing studs are securely attached. A loose base plate causes unnecessary vibration and target consistency is affected. Check base plate bolts frequently for tightness. Make sure that the magazine does not touch the trap house roof. You need approximately 38 or 42 inches of clearance from top of the pedestal to the trap roof. (See spec. sheet.) If mounting on trailer make sure trap machine is securely bolted down and movement is not restricted.

 

4)     12v. Trap Motor: Red positive lead cable to + positive on battery terminal. Black lead to – negative on battery terminal. REVERSE POLARITY CAN DAMAGE MACHINE. You should disconnect battery leads when not in use. All motors used by GP Traps are D.C. motors.

 

5)     Always operate 12-volt machine with fully charged battery. LOW VOLTS MAKE HIGH AMPS AND CAN DAMAGE MOTOR OR CONTROL BOX.

 

6)     Excessive moisture or floodwaters can damage motor/gearbox assembly and void warranty.

 


Operation Procedures:

 

7)     After machine is safely installed, connect leads from white control box to 12-volt battery.

 

8)     Release cord or remote receiver furnished by GP Traps unless ordered differently. Connect release cord or remote receiver with release socket located on cord out of white control box. See Release/Control Circuit diagram.

 

9)     Toggle switch on white control box turns machine on and off. When turning machine off or to release throwing arm, set toggle switch down to off position and depress black release button on control box to clear throwing arm. Throwing arm will release and last target will be thrown. BEWARE OF LAST TARGET THROWN. (See figure 1.)

 

10)To adjust target distance: At the rear of the machine is a spring knob connected to the main spring. Loosen the retaining nut on the inside of bracket. Tighten knob to lengthen target distance. Loosen knob to shorten target distance. Make sure nut on inside of bracket is tightened. ALWAYS make sure spring knob is tight. There needs to be 3 to 4 threads sticking through adjustment knob to assure spring has no slack during use. A loose main spring causes unnecessary vibration.  If main spring adjustment becomes loose and falls off, your machine could be damaged. Black spring is standard on all models. Silver Spring is optional for long target presentations.

 

11)To adjust target height: On the right side, towards the front of the machine there is a T-handle knob for target height adjusting. To adjust, set toggle switch to off position and depress black release button on control box to clear throwing arm. Then adjust elevation strap to desired height and retighten. ALWAYS make sure T-handle knob is tight. Set toggle switch to on position to turn machine back on. Do not try to adjust target height unless machine is off and throwing arm is released. Machine will adjust from -5° to 60°.

 

12)When filling magazine with targets or to adjust machine be sure machine is off and throwing arm is released.

 

13)When servicing machine or control box, make sure throwing arm is released and 12-volt leads to battery are disconnected.

 

14)Post all literature informing personnel about trap machine operation before servicing or loading targets.

 

15)Please call before you make any major adjustments.

 

16)Stay away from throwing arm!

 

17)THINK SAFETY FIRST!
