Trius®Traps – 1 Step www.triustraps.com2
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Tools Needed: 2 adjustable wrenches or 9/16
socket/open end or box end wrenches.
Your Trius 1 Step is preassembled as much as possible
before shipping. The trap has been tested with the main
spring that has been sent with it. By following the
instructions, the trap should go together quickly and
easily. Do not tighten nuts and bolts before all are in
place. When tightening the lock nuts, remember lock nuts
seem tight before really snug.
Put rear support with pedal, trap base and stabilizer together as shown in Illus. A. Please note that trap
base goes in between the rear support and stabilizer.
Put bolt #1 from bottom through rear support and trap base
as shown. Tighten nut finger tight.
Put bolt #2 from bottom through rear support, add 2 wash-
ers, then through the stabilizer. Tighten nut finger tight.
Put bolt #3 from bottom through trap base, add 1 washer,
then through stabilizer. Tighten nut finger tight.
Put bolt #4 from bottom through rear support, trap base and
stabilizer. Tighten nut finger tight.
You are now ready to tighten all bolts and nuts.
Now place arm assembly onto trap base and secure with
lock nut and elevation knob.
ATTACHING MAIN SPRING:
(Illus. B.) Raise pedal, extend arm forward, attach main spring to spring hook, then onto eyebolt assembly.
Put eyebolt through rear bracket, add washer and adjusting knob. Important: Put spring through spring hook
as shown. Do not push on pedal until chain is adjusted properly!
TENSION ADJUSTMENT:
Tighten tension knob just enough to have
eyebolt take up full thread of knob. This
should throw a fine target and be just right
for teaching new shooters. For faster more
difficult targets, increase tension by tighten-
ing knob. Doubles usually require higher
tension. A regulation trap target flight is
between 8 and 12 feet high at a point 10
yards from the trap, and the horizontal dis-
tance is between 48 and 52 yards.
