►Birds nd it dicult to adapt to the
confusion presented when using several
deterrents together. Combine scare
cannons with other audio and visual
deterrents for the best eect.
TIPS AND TRICKS
►The Zon Mark IV Rotating Zon Mark IV Rotating
TripodTripod (#1002#1002) provides
360° coverage and
elevates the cannon’s
blast. Using the tripod will
increase the cannon’s
coverage to 30 acres.
UPGRADES
►120dB blasts scare birds and keep
them away.
►One 20lb propane tank will provide
approximately 17,000 detonations.
►Stable frame design prevents
movement when detonating.
►Operates in strong winds.
►40 second to 30 minute intervals.
►Weight: 8.4kg (18.5lbs)
CANNON FEATURES
►The Zon Quartz Clock Zon Quartz Clock
TimerTimer (#1001#1001) activates
and deactivates the
Zon Mark IV Cannon
automatically at set
interval times.
►Deploy your cannons before your crops are
damaged, not after. It’s easier to keep birds
out of the control areas than to chase them
out once they’ve been rewarded.
►Birds are most active at dawn and dusk.
►In order to reduce your overall sound output
and prevent habituation, restrict cannon
use when birds are not active.
►A single cannon will protect up to 6 acresof
high lure value crop from persistent birds.
►Relocate the cannon frequently to prevent
habituation. Depending on the bird, cannon
should be moved every 1-2 days. More
frequent moving delivers the best result.

►Do not place objects on top of the
cannon.
►Do not operate cannon in an enclosed
space.
►Keep re and other sources of heat/
ignition away from the cannon.
►Cannon should be on a stable, horizontal
ground when in use.
►Only use LP Gas (propane) or butane gas.
Keep canister upright. DO NOT place in a
pit.
►Call the proper authorities/emergency
services in case of a re.
►Service cannon after 150kg (330lbs) of
use.
►Replace the gas hose every 2 years.
Contact Margo Supplies to order
replacement.
►Clear an area of 5m (15ft) surrounding
the propane tank and cannon. This
means removing any debris and
ammable / combustible materials such
as dried weeds and grass.
►The area directly in front of the
megaphone must be clear of all
obstructions.
►Never place objects or look directly into
the megaphone.
►Never walk in front of or look into the
barrel.
WARNING! ALWAYS WEAR EAR
AND EYE PROTECTION WHEN
OPERATING CANNON!
SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION:
After the cannon is turned off, propane will
remain inside the hose and diaphragm. Lift the
hammer to release any gas once disconnected
from the propane tank.
7. When the Precise Valve (#Z4-91806) is
entirely open, the cannon will re in 40-60
second intervals. For longer time intervals,
close the Precise Valve until you reach your
desired timing.
8. Close the Propane Tank Valve to turn o
the cannon.
NOTE:
The first few cycles may have low/no volume
due to air being in the system. Once the air is
cleared, the volume will adjust.

cannon body with the Handle (#Z4-91616).
2. Insert the Plastic End Caps (#Z4-91656)
onto the end of the Metal Legs (#Z4-91636)
and (#Z4-91646) using 4 buttery nuts.

and the Propane Tank both have
connections.
4. Connect the Gas Regulator (#Z4-91926)
to your Propane Tank (not included) snug
with a 24mm (15/16’’) wrench. Do not open
propane valve.
5. Open the valve on the Gas Regulator and
on the Propane Tank by turning them both
counterclockwise.
