The following instructions detail how to assemble the basic frame for the GreyT Shooter (7”).
Press ThunderHex Bearing into the shooter side plate. Repeat this step for the other side. Be sure to press the bearing in from the opposite side so that the bearing flanges are on opposite sides of the plates.
The bearing is not needed for the direct drive or VersaPlanetary options.
Repeat the step for the desired amount of holes to achieve the exit angle wanted.
It is recommended to not skip any holes between the first and last standoff used.
This spacer and standoff may be replaced with 3/8” hex or similar material. The recommended replacement material is 3/8” ThunderHex stock.
Install the spacer and standoffs in the front guard set of holes.
This spacer and standoff may be replaced with 3/8” hex or similar material. The recommended replacement material is 3/8” ThunderHex stock.
Use the remaining spacers and bolts to attach the other side plate.
If custom standoffs were made, the extra spacers are not needed
Cut a piece of 1/16” polycarbonate for the backing of the shooter hood. It is recommended to cut the piece slightly longer, about 1”, so that this extra length can be wrapped under the first standoff. This prevents the game object from being caught on the plastic as it feeds through the shooter.
Zip ties are the recommended means of attaching the plastic backing. Start from the first standoff and work up. Drill one set of holes and then secure with the zip tie before moving on to the next standoff.
Attach 1” x 1” VersaFrame Aluminum Angle to either side of the shooter with bolts or rivets.
Center the Limelight Mount between the Shooter Side Plates. Secure the Limelight Mount to the two top most standoffs using four #10-32 x 1”L bolts and nuts.
Do not over tighten the bolts as this will cause the plates to bend.
Attach the Limelight to the Limelight mount using four #10-32 x 2”L bolts and nuts.
The bolts need only be tightened so that the Limelight is not loose on the plate. Over tightening the bolts may cause damage to the case or the electronics inside.
Attach the spacer and standoff in the desired set of holes for the desired distance from the shooter wheel to where the hood will be. Reference the drawing on the for more information on the sets of holes.
