110v.

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

3) When mounting machine in a trap house, be sure your pedestal is strong enough to support machine. Make sure that the magazine does not touch the trap house roof. You need approximately 40 inches clearance from top of the pedestal to the trap roof. (See figure 2.) If mounting on trailer make sure trap machine is securely bolted down and oscillating movement is not restricted.

4) Trap Motor: 110v trap motor will draw 2 AMPS when in use. 110v service needs to have disconnect, so power can be shut off. You should unplug machine when not in use. Lightning can damage electric box and void warranty. All motors used by G. P. Traps are D.C. motors.

5) Horizontal motor (or oscillating motor) gets power from the 110 v. power cord. When oscillating motor is running the motor draws less than 2 AMPS.

6) Vertical motor gets power from the 110 v. power cord. When vertical motor is running the motor draws less than 2 AMPS.

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

8) There are three (3) toggle switches on the front of the gray control box. One is for the trap motor and the other two are for the horizontal and vertical motors. Horizontal and vertical motors can be used separately or in conjunction with each other. See figure 1.

9) Release cord or remote receiver furnished by G. P. Traps. See Release/Control Circuit diagram.

10) When turning machine off or to release throwing arm, set all three (3) toggle switches down to off position and depress black release button on gray control box to clear throwing arm. Throwing arm will release and last target will be thrown. BEWARE OF LAST TARGET THROWN. See figure 1.

11) The two (2) black push buttons on side of gray control box allows you to bump or move your horizontal or vertical motor. Using push buttons easily sets up field and angle adjustments. This will allow you to move machine to desired angle and it will stay there until toggle switches are turned on. Always oscillate machine first before turning trap motor to "on" position, to check for adequate clearances. (Check clearance between magazine and trap house roof. Also check clearance completely around machine and trap house.) Use black push buttons to perform this function. See figure 1.

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 110v is disconnected from power source.

Mount gray control box inside trap door for easy access. Make sure control box is in a safe place. See figure 2.

Make sure you have trap machine bolted down securely. Set all three (3) toggles switches to the on position. The trap motor will cock machine, but oscillating motors will not start until the puller depresses release button for the first time. The trap machine will oscillate and interrupt during use; after 60 seconds of non-use it will stop oscillating and will be dormant. The machine will start oscillating again when release button is depressed. The horizontal motor has the time delays incorporated in, vertical motor will run for the full 60 seconds with no time delays. Time delays are factory set to have five (5) time delays in 60 seconds. There is a time delay relay and a one shot timer that perform these functions. These functions are independently programmable. Instructions are on components for custom programming. There are two models of timers. Macromatic timers work as described. Eagle timers turn on when you switch oscillating motor toggle switches to on position. Note: Vertical motor is running for 60 seconds and horizontal motor incorporates delays.

Wobble trap has horizontal movement up to 45° each way from center or total movement of 90°. This setting is adjustable. (See number 6 in Installation and operation procedures.)

Wobble trap has vertical movement of 25° (movement is factory set at 5° to 30°).

Vertical and horizontal motors can work separately or in conjunction to each other depending on your desired target presentation.

When filling magazine with targets or to adjust machine be sure machine is off and throwing arm is released. (See number 10 in Start Up information for how to release throwing arm.)

Don't try to load targets in machine while it is oscillating. Trapper can easily hit targets on side of magazine tubes and crack or fatigue targets. A cracked target in the magazine will become a broken target when thrown. Broken targets out of machine will cause everyone involved to be dissatisfied.

1) Check your A.T.A. regulations to be sure your existing trap layout is staked properly with the correct measurements for proper angles and distance. This will assure you correct target presentation.

2) The base plate design will allow you to install in any existing trap house. Position the trap base straight out or squarely with front of trap house. Base plate needs to be bolted down securely to existing pedestal. Make sure existing pedestal 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. Always oscillate machine first before turning trap motor to "on" position, to check for adequate clearances. (Check clearance between magazine and trap house roof. Also check clearance completely around machine and trap house.) Use black push buttons to perform this function. See figures 2 and 3.

4) Connect release cord or remote receiver with release socket located on cord out of gray control box. For more information see Release/Control Circuit diagram.

5) Setting the field: By using the horizontal motor push button (See figure 1), move the machine to throw five (5) left angles and then throw five (5) right angles. To move the full field right or left, loosen both jam nuts and turn hand knob on the connecting rod. This rod connects the slotted arm collar on gearbox to tab on vertical upright. After adjustments are made, tighten both jam nuts. This adjustment moves entire field to the left or to the right. This enables you to center your field from your trap house. ¾” wrench is needed for jam nuts. See figure 4.

6) To adjust the amount of angle of field: To widen or narrow your full field, loosen ½” bolt through slotted arm collar and adjust the rod on top of the oscillation motor, towards the center to narrow, away to widen. This adjustment makes your angles open or closed. This adjustment replaces the 2-3-4 hole settings on other models. ¾” wrench is needed for adjusting ½” bolt. See figure 5.

Figure 5:

7) Vertical Movement: The vertical movement is factory set to move 25° (up and down). Factory setting is 5° to 30°. If you desire different vertical movement please call G.P. Traps before adjusting.

8) 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 the 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 in it. 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 all Wobble models.

9) After use of the machine or when reloading targets, set all three (3) toggle switches to off position and depress the black release button on gray control box to clear throwing arm. REMEMBER, LAST TARGET WILL BE THROWN!

10) Always release throwing arm and disconnect power when servicing or adjusting machine.

11) Always disconnect power when not in use, electric storms/spikes can damage control box.

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