  •  The throwing arm is dangerous and travels counter clockwise from 6:00 back to 3:00, 12:00, 9:00 and 6:00 where it “cocks” again
  • Stay behind machine, keep eye protection on.
  • Use one finger to depress the toggle switch (control box on wall) down and release. This will throw target (be sure no one is in front
  • of low house window), and de-cock machine  making it safe. Throwing arm will stop at 9:00 position. Do not lean on throwing arm, it will break.
