NEVER TURN TENSION ADJUSTMENT OR ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT WING NUTS WHEN THE THROWER IS
COCKED.
POSITIONING
1. Position thrower in desired location.

the wing nut and moving it to another adjustment hole.

target on the throwing arm.
COCKING THE THROWER
1. Stand on the left side and to the rear of the thrower base
when facing forward. NEVER STAND ON THE RIGHT SIDE!
2. Grasp top and end of throwing arm and rotate clockwise
until it catches in the trigger. Be sure that the throwing arm
is secured by the trigger before releasing.
CHECKING THE GAP
1. The throwing arm is designed to have a specific gap
between the upper and lower edges of the aluminum
throwing arm.

enter, gently spread the upper part of the throwing arm until
the gauge slides easily the full length of the throwing arm.
DO NOT CHECK WITH THROWER COCKED!
