Thank you for purchasing the D.T. Systems SUPER-
PRO
TM
Remote Dummy Launcher, the most technologi-
cally advanced Dummy Launcher on the market today.
Through extensive field research, with feedback from our
top retriever Pro-Trainers and working retriever owners all
around the country, D.T. Systems has created a remote
training aid that will make retriever training easier, more
productive, and result in a more well rounded working dog
in the field, on hunt tests, and in trials.
The new Super-Pro Remote Dummy Launcher incorporates D.T.’s long standing leader in the field (the SuperPro Dummy Launcher) and pairs it with a remote launching system, giving the user the ability to launch dummies
from a remote location from up to 1,200 yards away! One
handheld transmitter will handle up to 16 programmable
launchers to aid in setting up blind retrieves, multiple retrieves, or setting a course for hunt tests or field trials! The
aluminum frame and compact folding design make it lightweight (less than 7 lbs per complete unit) and portable for
ease of use in the field. The remote receiver unit features
a Power-Save Mode as well as a Beeper/Locator to aid in
finding a unit in the field or help as a training aid. It operates off of a .22 caliber blank firing method, utilizing the
same patented features that have made D.T.’s Super-Pro
handheld Dummy Launcher famous (please read the Super-Pro Dummy Launcher owner’s manual for a full list of
features). If you have been looking for a compact, lightweight, and portable REMOTE retriever training aid—look
no further than the D.T. Systems Super-Pro Remote
Dummy Launcher!
D.T. Systems: Dog Tested, Dog Tough Since 1983.

QUICK TIPS
Before You Go Out:
•
Purchase and use only D.T. recommended GREEN and
YELLOW power loads. RED power loads are not recommended as they will cause faster wear and tear on
your unit and dummy.
•
Be familiar with the operation of your RDL and test your
unit (see p.20-21).
•
Make a checklist of needed items for your training session (RDL, dummy, transmitter, protective eyewear,
hearing protection, power loads, batteries, etc.).
•
Make sure your dog is in proper condition for these training exercises.
At the Training Site:
•
Find a large open area where the operation of your RDL
will not be a disturbance to the public.
•
Always wear protective hearing/eye gear during use.
•
Make sure your dog is always under control when setting
and loading the RDL. Keep your dog away from the
RDL, especially when loaded.
•
Make sure your Remote Receiver unit is OFF and
unloaded when training is complete.
•
Take everything from your checklist with you when leaving the training site (including empty shells).
After Your Training Session:
•
Again, make sure the Remote Receiver is OFF (or remove the batteries if storing for an extended period).
•
Follow all maintenance and storage instructions (see
p.24).
