wheels. Place seat in its “up” position and lock.

3. Attach trailer to vehicle. Put pin or bolt through hitch release lever and secure. Attach safety chain
to vehicle. NOTE: Always use the safety chain when towing.

SET UP:
1. Select a level area for set up.

NOTE: Trailer and tank are one unit, do not try to separate!
3. Raise tongue end of trailer and remove hitch pins from tongue bar. Slide tongue bar out and
replace pins in bar. Slide tongue bar out and replace pins in bar.
4. Slowly lift up and set tank upright. (Be careful not to drop tank onto its bottom)

5. Untie rope holding the wing against the tank. Swing wing out into position. NOTE: The wing
MUST BE STRAIGHT out from the tank frame. If it is at an angle the trigger will not work
properly.
6. Lower the stabilizing rod on the bottom of the wing so the wind does not move it as this will
cause the target arm to jam.

gallons).
8. Make sure the pivot point in the arm drops into the hole on the side of the frame. Insert the end of
the arm through the hole in the canvas. Insert the target into the end of the arm and rotate it
clockwise until the target is tightened into the arm. NOTE : do not over tighten the target. Just
tighten until snug.
9. Place one hand on the front of the seat and push down. With the other hand “test” the target to see
that it works properly.
