>> ADAPTING RRT HAND HELD LAUNCHER FOR THE
VERSA-LAUNCH REMOTE LAUNCHER SYSTEM
The Versa-Launch Remote Launcher System was designed
to work with any RRT Hand Held Launcher built from 1990
to present. The RRT Launchers manufactured during this
time period have a rubber ribbed hand grip and a plastic
or aluminum pull knob. If you have recently purchased a
new RRT Launcher (will have RRT LAUNCHER on the
grip in raised lettering) you can skip step one below.
If you are unsure if your RRT Launcher is compatible
contact Specialty Products Company before attempting to
use with your Versa-Launch Remote Launcher System. If
your RRT Launcher is different from the ones in the images
On the base of the grip (end closest to the pull knob) the lip of the grip must be trimmed.
Please refer to image below. This can be achieved by using a sharp utility knife and turning
the grip or turning the grip on a sander.
2) Install the black cap plug into the bottom of the pull knob on the RRT Launcher. Lightly
tapping with a hammer will help to set the cap plug. The black plug must be installed
completely into the pull knob with no gap present.
the end of the pull knob and tighten the set screw securely with the allen wrench. Failure
to properly tighten the set screw may allow it to loosen with use and will cause failure to
launch the dummy.
4) Repeat steps 1-3 for all RRT Hand Held Launchers you wish to use with your Versa-
Launch Remote Launcher System.

6) Turn the servo arm so it is pointing in the 1 o’clock position - FAILURE TO SET THE ARM TO THE 1
O’CLOCK POSITION MAY CAUSE MORE THAN ONE LAUNCHER TO FIRE AT ONE TIME. Some models
of release systems will not send a signal that is long enough to move the servo arm from 1 o’clock around
7) Locate the remote to the receiver that you are using and ensure that it is clear of any pressure on it.
Do not keep in your pocket or leave it placed on the ground where it could be walked on. ACCIDENTAL
DEPRESSION OF THE BUTTON WILL CAUSE THE VERSA-LAUNCH REMOTE UNIT TO FIRE AND
COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
8) Slide the pin/pull ring back and seat the pin into the notch ensuring that it is as far left as it can be
positioned. ACCIDENTIAL RELEASE OF THE PIN WILL CAUSE THE FIRING PIN TO MAKE CONTACT
WITH THE POWER CHARGE AND THE LAUNCH OF THE DUMMY WILL OCCUR! ALWAYS KEEP
YOURSELF, SURROUNDING PERSONS AND ANIMALS FULLY CLEAR OF THE UNIT, LAUNCHERS,
LAUNCHER DIRECTION AND DUMMYS! Also check to ensure that you do not have any launch
interference with the launchers and/or bumpers of your Versa-Launch. Every path of launch is clear of
any obstruction!
When you have completed above steps with extreme caution and you and surrounding persons and
animals have full clearance you may plug the remote receiver into the Tube Connecting Harness and turn
the power switch on.

Launchers to ensure there is no debris and no damage
to the equipment. Improper maintenance and failure to

User is responsible to evaluate the entire unit before
functioning.
You may purchase the Retriev-R-;rainer Cleaning Kit at any of our retailers listed on our
website at www.rrtlauncher.com.
A small amount of gun oil applied to the hinge area after cleaning will help to ensure smooth
operation. Cleaning of the chamber can be enhanced by using a .22 caliber wire brush.
Also thoroughly clean and dry the inside of the aluminum dummy tube after each launch.
Be certain that prior to each time you launch the dummy from your Versa-Launch Remote
Launcher System that it is free of debris both internally and externally. Failure to properly
maintain the aluminum insert tube in your dummy may result in serious injury or death.
A rubber “O” Ring in a groove near the outer end of the barrel provides a seal for the release
gases from the power charge. ;OPZ “O” Ring will wear, causing some of the gases to escape,
Apply a thin coat of Vaseline, or any other lubricant safe for use on rubber components, to
prevent drying and cracking of the “O” Ring. Replacement “O” Rings are available from our
retailers on our website.
