Model ME-9868
Replacement Plumb Bobs (30)
012-08711C
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The ME-9868 Replacement Plumb Bob provides 30
individually packaged weights and string to replace
the plumb bob on the PASCO Projectile Launchers
(ME-6825, ME-6800 or ME-6801).
Equipment included
- Nylon thread
- Lead weight (30)
- Nylon washer (30)
Equipment not included:
- Pliers
Assembling the Plumb Bob
1. Cut a piece of string approximately 20 cm (8
inches), or gauge the string length directly on the
launcher unit as indicated in the picture.
2. Tie a knot at one end of the string and use pliers to
crimp a weight over the knot. (The knot prevents
the weight from slipping.)
Attaching the Plumb Bob
1. Feed the string from the front of the launcher
through the hole in the label and the launcher cylinder.
2. Tie the string just once around the washer.
3. Pull the washer taught against the launcher cylinder and adjust the string length until the weight just
swings past the label corner.
➤ Note: The weight must clear the launcher
body in all orientations. The actual string length
will vary depending on the launcher being restrung.
4. Secure the string with a double or triple knot to the
washer, be careful not to change the length of the
string as determined from the previous step.
5. Release the weight so that the washer rests against
the launcher cylinder and cut any excess string.
