II. Safety
WARNING! THIS MACHINE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
THOROUGHLY READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING TRAP.
DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE TRAP WHEN IT IS IN THE COCKED POSITION.
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT.
THIS TRAP IS CAPABLE OF THROWING TARGETS A DISTANCE OF 70 YARDS. USE
ONLY IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS NO RISK OF HITTING A PERSON WITH THE
TARGET.
CAUTION! The EASYBIRD 6-Packer Trap or EASYBIRD Auto-Feed Trap must be bolted
down to the trailer, stand, or to a flat, solid surface to eliminate any movement of the
trap while operating! Do not install in an area that does not allow safe access to the trap
during loading and use. Provide ample clearance around trap. The ON/OFF/SAFE
RELEASE switch is located on the rear of the trap to allow the trap to be uncocked
before approaching it. Provide for safe access to the switch that will not require anyone
to walk in front of the trap to load targets or perform work on it.
WARNING! IF THERE IS A TARGET ON THE THROWING ARM, SAFE RELEASING THE
THROWING ARM WILL THROW THE TARGET. DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE TRAP
WHILE SAFE RELEASING THE THROWING ARM.
1. Before adding the oscillating base, performing any work or maintenance on the
EASYBIRD 6-Packer or EASYBIRD Auto-Feed Traps, check to see if the trap throwing arm
is in the “cocked” position (FIGURE 2). If it is, move the throwing arm to the uncocked
position (FIGURE 3) by momentarily pressing the ON/OFF/SAFE RELEASE switch
(FIGURE 1) to the “Safe Release” position, and after the arm releases to the uncocked
position, release the ON/OFF/SAFE RELEASE switch allowing it to return to the “OFF”
position.
2. Finally, remove battery cables from battery.
WARNING! THE ON/OFF/SAFE RELEASE
(MAIN POWER) SWITCH ON THE TRAP
MUST BE IN THE ‘OFF‘ (CENTER)
POSITION , THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED
FROM THE TRAP, AND THE THROWING
ARM IN THE UNCOCKED POSITION
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY REPAIR,
MAINTENANCE OR ASSEMBLY.

3. All personnel operating the trap should be thoroughly familiar with the
operating instructions and the safety issues relating to the trap.
4. Do not leave trap in the cocked position. Not only is this potentially dangerous,
but it puts undue stress on the mainspring.
5. Always load the trap magazine from the rear of the trap.
6. Keep hands and body outside the trap and throwing arm path indicator areas
while the trap is operating. This ring shows the throwing arm’s path when
throwing a target, and should always be attached to the trap when it is in use.
7. Be aware that a cracked or broken target thrown from the trap will sometimes
scatter pieces out the right side of the machine as the arm throws. These
pieces may hit nearby unsuspecting bystanders.
8. Always wear eye and hearing protection when shooting.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFETY RULES CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH!
