REMOTE CONTROL LAUNCHER
INSTRUCTION MANUAL

SAFETY FIRST
This device res a dummy at considerable velocity. It is capable of
causing severe injury or death to any person, animal or object it may
hit if used incorrectly. Treat the launcher as you would a loaded gun.
Never point it at anyone or anything under any circumstances.
Always leave it unloaded when not being used.
ALWAYS
• WEAR BOTH EAR AND EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING ANY
LAUNCHER!
• Make sure the launcher dummies intended trajectory is clear
of obstacles, property and wildlife.
• The launcher has been set up in a stable way and is not likely
to be knocked over or fall.
• Use only .22 calibre launcher blanks of either low or medium
power.
• Never leave the launcher unaended where a person or ani-
mal may wander into its path or collide or interfere with it.
• Use only the correct type of launcher dummy
• Make sure any launcher dummy is in good working condion.
• Keep the launcher clean and well maintained.
• Make sure that there is no other source of radio signal that
may inadvertently re the launcher. Keep the remote with
the operator at all mes. It may operate the launcher from a
considerable distance so never be around a launcher if
someone else has the handset/controller.
• Remember wind may aect the dummies intended trajectory
so be sure you have allowed plenty of space for the dummy to
land safely.
• Without a dummy in place the launcher will re out a hot
ash/ame this is capable of damaging anything it makes
contacts with and may also be a re hazard.
• Never re the launcher without a blank in with the head unit
closed, it will cause damage to the ring pin/extractor mecha-
nism.

Always store the launcher in somewhere warm and dry if it has been
used in moist condions ensure it dries fully before storing.
Periodically open the launcher head and without a blank in cock the
launcher then Spray a very small quanty of Sporng Saint Dummy
Launcher Lubricant Spray down the ring pin hole. Never spray oil
down the hole the blank goes in. This will cause misres. Clean
the .22 chamber every so oen with a .22 cleaning brush.
Available in The Sporng Saint Dummy Launcher Care Pack.
Keep the spigot clean at all mes, wipe with a baby wipe or similar
to remove burn powder residue. Change the seal if it looks perished
or worn as this will greatly aect dummy launching distance.

of the black box on the launcher body. Insert the charger’s DC male power
plug.

charge is completed, the status LED will change green to indicate that the
charge is completed and baeries are ready for use. Once the status LED is
Green, the charge switches to trickle mode to keep the baeries at full.
