G. P. Traps L. L. C. Start-up information:
All G. P. 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 54 inches 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 G. P. 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 G. P. 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 mainspring is standard on all models.
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 50°.
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!
18) Call for optional trailer and remote control release. Figure 1.

SC-70 ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING ADJUSTMENTS BE SURE THAT THROWING ARM IS RELEASED!
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!
1) Rubber pinch roller with splitter washer: Washer or splitter washer needs to be making contact between first and second targets. Don't worry about targets being at different angles in stack. Gravity and weight will make stack of targets lower in front then in back. Adjust splitter washer using 3/4 to full stack of targets at desired target height.
2) Spring bolt tension adjustment: (A) Spring needs enough tension to hold stack up. Adjust bolt (through spring) to change the amount of tension. (B) Top collar adjustment determines when the splitter washer and rubber support will come in contact with targets.
3) Gate opening: Aluminum cam determines when gates open and close. Adjusting clockwise retards gates. Counterclockwise will open gates sooner.
4) Arm timing: (A) When machine is on and throwing arm is in the cocked position, there should be approximately 1 3/4" between end of throwing arm and upright top plate bracket. If arm is coming in too much target will drop on arm rubber. If arm is too far away, target will stay out on stainless outrigger. (B) Move the black collar located on top of sprag unit to make this adjustment. The tab on the black collar makes contact with limit switch located on top of body. Adjusting black collar clockwise makes throwing arm close to the upright top plate bracket. Adjusting the black collar counterclockwise makes the throwing arm farther away from the upright top plate bracket.
5) Adjusting from standard target to Battue: Loosen nut on top of black support bar and adjust height of splitter washer so washer is making contact between first and second targets. Black support bar is threaded so the bolt through rubber support and splitter washer can be easily adjusted to the proper height. Remember, target capacity is 70 targets.
Most Important:
Think Safety first!
STAY AWAY FROM THROWING ARM!
