rate!)

holes in the cage with the holes along the top of the tank.

flat washer, lock washer, and nut and tighten down. Start at
one end of the cage and work your way around to the other end. (See Figure 1.)

2. Remove the transportation chains from around the arms. Drop the
Bottom Canvas Arm into the horizontal position. Remove the pin se-
curing the Top Canvas Arm from its (vertical) transportation position
and put in into its horizontal position, securing it with the pin. (See
Figure 2.)
4. Slide the canvas onto the top and bottom canvas arms. (See Figure 3.)
5. Extend top canvas bar to full height, and use the ball
bungees to secure canvas to the vertical bar. (See Figure
4.)
6. Place the arm into the trigger mechanism. Put the oth-
er end trough the hole in the canvas. Make sure the arm
drops into the tube on the side of the frame. Insert the
target into the end of the arm, and screw tight.
7. 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.
8. Check drain plug to make sure it is tight and then fill tank to the top with water (approx. 500 gal-
lons).
9. REVIEW SAFETY RULES WITH ALL PARTICIPANTS.

OPERATION
1. Check to see that seat is properly locked and is released when the target is pressed. Be sure to
show this operation to the person who will be on the tank as they will need to know how to reset the
seat and trigger mechanism each time it is released, before they get back onto the seat. Instruct them
to use the grip handles for support when climbing up out of the tank. Also, be sure instruct the dunkee
on the proper use of the seat safety latch, which is located behind the seat, to keep it secure until they
are ready to be dunked.
Please remind the dunkee to keep their hands on their knees and sit forward on the seat.
2. Use ONLY the balls that came with the EASY DUNKER.
3. Monitor water level to keep it full.
TAKE DOWN
1. As soon as you are finished using the dunker, open the drain and let the tank empty.
2. Remove target and target arm. Stow the target arm on the side of the frame, inserting the pin into
the tube. Secure with a cotter pin. (See Figure 5.)
3. Remove the pin and carefully lower the top canvas arm, and remove canvas. (See Figure 6.)
4. Lift the bottom canvas arm. Rotate the top canvas arm into its (vertical) transport position and se-
cure with pin. Be sure both top and bottom chains are wrapped around the canvas arms and the
target arm.
5. Place seat in its “up” position and lock.
