12v DC Power Source:
This product is designed to be powered from a 12v DC baery, it
SHOULD NOT BE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO HOUSEHOLD AC POWER
Baery: Where a trap is connected to any other suitable power source
i.e. a Transformer - the relevant secons of instrucons should sll be
observed, i.e. “Disconnect the baery” and applied to this or any other
power source.

Dis-assemble the trap from its base
The rotaon box forms the basis of the trolley
spine. A swivel piece mounted to this acts as a
mount for the trap and replaces the trap’s ex-
isng base.
As supplied your trap will be ed to a pressed
steel base plate (with diagonal braces) it should
be removed from this base complete with its
rear support stay, this stay and some of the
exisng fasteners will be required to complete
this assembly.
Assemble the Rotaon box to the trolley base:
Fit the trolley axle to the front (gear wheel) end
of the rotaon box, t the bolts from below
with the nuts secured inside the rotaon box.
For each wheel t a brass washer before &
aer and secure in place using a split pin.
Fit the extension tube baery tray assembly to
the rear end of the rotaon box, followed by
the trolley handle using the ground spike and
clam-plate assembly to complete the joint as
shown below.

Fit Trap mount & connect linkage to rotaon wheel:
(All versions)
Insert the trap mount’s lower pin through the bearing in the rotaon box as shown
below, secure with the circlip provided. Fit a threaded spigot to the trap mount, then
t a lightly greased washer, aach the short end of the linkage as shown below and
secure with a spring clip which simply slides into the ne groove, snapping in place
over the end of the sha.
Fit the other threaded spigot into any of the holes of the rotang wheel, t another
lightly greased washer to this spigot and connect the other end of the linkage with a
spring clip as before.
Mount the trap onto the base:
The trap should now be mounted onto the trap carrier. Use a nylock nut and washer on
the pivot points, ghten these unl the trap can just pivot freely on the base without
any resistance being felt.
Rear support stay:
If a rotaon box only is ed (DTL trap) the rear support stay (removed from the old
trap base) should be ed to the trap mount using the original bolt & washer as shown
above. Note this is xed into the hexagonal hole in the trap carrier using the locking
nut “backwards” i.e. the hexagon is placed into the hole and the bolt ed through it
so that the ange is on the inside of the trap carrier locking the assembly in place.
If an elevaon box is to be ed (ABT trap) the rear support stay should not be ed as
this could allow the frame to become locked causing damage to the elevaon motor or
linkage.

Assemble the Elevaon box and bracket (Where ed)
Insert the short M12 cup square bolt into the mounng hole in the side of the swivel
bracket and t the long hexagonal stud onto it (A on diagram) ghtening this securely
to the frame member, next insert a threaded spigot into the other end and ghten this
in place.
Aach the elevaon box mounng bracket to the trap’s right hand pivot point using
the longer M12 hex head bolt and 3 washers (B on diagram) lightly grease the centre
washer (between trap pivot and mount, then secure this assembly on the inside with
an M12 Nyloc nut. Similarly secure the trap’s le hand pivot point using the shorter
M12 hex head bolt and 3 washers, again apply grease to the centre washer and secure
with an M12 Nyloc nut. Do not over-ghten as these are the main pivot points.
Fix the bracket to the trap frame using the Long Cup square bolt vercally through trap
frame (C on diagram) secure below with an M8 nyloc nut.
At the rear of the bracket loosely place the M8x40 Cup square bolt and the shorter
nylon spacer (D on diagram) but do not t the nut yet.
Check that the trap pivots freely on its mount without any resistance being felt (too
much resistance would cause premature wear to the elevaon components as well as
excessive baery drain.
Fit the Elevaon box to the bracket
Remove the large black plasc plugs from the ends of the elevaon box (taking care
not to dislodge the electrical wiring from the motor) this will allow a clear view of the
internal keyhole slots in the rear face of the box.
The elevaon box has two keyhole shaped slots in its rear face, however on this model
these are not used in the convenonal manner.
Fit the elevaon box to the bracket at the front by passing the M10 hex head bolt
through the forward keyhole slot and securing internally with a Nyloc nut (Do not fully
ghten yet).

Each of the threaded spigots should now be ed with a lightly greased washer, fol-
lowed by the crank ed between them. The crank is secured by a spring clip at each
end which simply slides into the ne groove, snapping in place over the end of the
sha.
Keyhole
slot
At the rear of the trap pass the M8
cup square bolt through the rear key-
hole slot and the longer nylon spacer,
passing the bolt through into the hole
in the trap’s side frame ensuring that
the ats of the cup square head sit
properly within the thin part of the
keyhole slot before securing with a
Nyloc nut (Do not fully ghten yet).
Returning to the front of the elevaon
box, place the short M8 Cup square
bolt (Upper xing bolt on diagram
below) through the keyhole slot in the
upper face and securing internally
with a Nyloc nut.
At this stage all three nuts should be
fully ghtened and the plasc end
caps replaced.

Elevaon
box
Blanking plug
Control panel
Connecng the electrical wiring:
Remove the black end plug (control panel) from the rotaon box.
The electrical assembly within the rotaon box has controls for rotaon and elevaon.
The elevaon box is connected into the exisng rotaon box, undo and discard the
white or light coloured blanking plug on the rotaon box and pass the wiring from the
elevaon box through into the rotaon box.
It is advisable to slacken the rear part of the gland to allow it to spin on the cable dur-
ing ng - this prevents the cable from twisng as the gland is screwed in.
Once the cable is in place ghten the gland into the threaded hole and t the plasc
nut to secure it in place, re-ghten the front part to seal the cable against moisture
ingress and prevent it pulling out in use.
The wiring for the elevaon unit is ed with metal boot-lace ends, and should be
ed into the terminal block connectors a shown below.

(ed)
Connect the wiring to the
terminal block.
The cable supplied will have
Brown and green/yellow wires
ed with metal boot-lace ends
(there may also be a blue wire cut
back—this is not used)
The brown wire should be connected to the terminal with the brown wire in it.
The green/yellow wire should be connected to the terminal with the green/yellow
wire in it.
Ensure that the screws are fully ghtened and that the gland is secure to prevent the
cable pulling out in use.
Replace the black end plug (control panel) in the end of the rotaon box ensuring that
the relays are passed inside the box and that no wires become trapped. Tap the plug
home with rm hand pressure near the edges.

Connect the baery:
Secure the baery to the tray using the Velcro strap(s) provided.
Ensure that the main power switch on the trap, as well as the two switches on the con-
trol panel are in the OFF (centre) posion before connecng to the baery.
The RED connector goes onto the + (or red coloured) baery terminal
The BLUE connector goes onto the - (or black coloured) baery terminal
How to operate:
Rotaon Funcon - Seng the switch down to the ROTATION posion will allow to
motor to run connuously varying the angle of the target le-to right. Pushing the
switch upwards to the NUDGE posion will give a momentary burst of movement for as
long as you connue to hold the switch toggle (automacally springing back to the OFF
posion when released) this will allow a xed trajectory to be selected.
Using the oponal holes on the rotaon disc a narrower or wider target eld can be
selected as desired.
The elevaon funcon (where ed) works in the same way, note that the pitch and
gearing of the two funcons has been designed so that the target movement in each
plane is not the same, and once the mechanisms have run for a few turns the move-
ment becomes unpredictable, making the targets that bit more challenging.
Refer to the main operang instrucons for details of specic features and operaon of
the trap, and the leaet provided with any radio which may have been purchased.
Motor wiring:
If any motor wiring has been supplied loose, or has been disconnected at any me
during trap assembly, reconnect as follows:
