R UTINE MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS DISARM MACHINES AND DISC NNECT BATTERY
BEF RE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.
Position your body and all body parts behind the unit. Never ap-
proach from the front, st and in front or to the sides of the unit.
Proper care and maintenance will reatly extend the life of your ma-
chine. We recommend the followin :
Daily
•
Dirt, dust and tar et debris should be cleaned off the machine.
Accumulations of debris will result in broken clays, more wear on
bushin and bearin s, less than optimum performance and
erodes the protective coatin on the machine causin rust to
form. A shop vacuum or blower works well for this task.
•
Check that the batteries are fully char ed. A dead or low battery
will result in premature motor and electrical components failure.
We recommend usin a di ital battery tester.
Two to Four Times a Year
The followin maintenance should be performed two to four times a
year, dependin on tar et volume:
•
Inspect the battery cables for loose or corroded connections.

•
Inspect the throwin strip for uneven wear. Uneven wear can re-
sult in broken tar ets and is an indication that the throwin plate
hei ht needs to be adjusted.
•
Inspect to le switch and fire button covers for tearin and dry
rot. Replace items as needed to prevent moisture from dama in
electrical components in the housin .
•
Inspect nuts and bolts to insure nothin is loosened or over-
ti htened.
•
Lubricate all movin parts with a dry lubricant (i.e. silicone).
•
Grease the rease certs inside the carousel. DO NOT OVER
GREASE. If over reased, the rease will run onto the carousel
plate and cause erratic tar ets.
