To achieve the best results from your Tetra Line Thrower and accessories we strongly recommend that you take the time to read this manual thoroughly. We also have an instructional video available. The Tetra Line Thrower is shipped fully assembled.  Before use, clean any excess oil or grease from the action and chamber areas (refer to the cleaning instructions).  No further assembly or adjustments are required prior to operating the Line Thrower. Tetra Line Thrower Safety must be the first and continual concern of all persons handling Power Operated Equipment. These instructions are designed to aid you in learning to use and care for your Tetra Line Thrower properly. Only when you are positive that you fully understand these instructions and can carry them out properly should you practice loading, unloading and firing with live Tetra Power Loads. If you have any doubt regarding your ability to use this particular type of equipment with safety you should obtain supervised instructions.  Contact your dealer for details as to where these instructions may be obtained. ALTERATION WARNING: Palmer Cap-Chur Equipment, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Cap-Chur Equipment), accepts no responsibility for any alterations of any type to any products after they leave its control.  Neither will responsibility be accepted for the substitution or addition of any parts or accessories not made by Cap-Chur Equipment.  Changes to any product are absolutely in contradiction to our instructions and we expressly do not authorize any changes to be made subsequent to manufacture.  These products are designed to operate correctly in their original condition.  Do not jeopardize your safety by making modifications to Tetra Line Throwers or any other Tetra Accessories.   BLANK CHARGE WARNING: Use only Tetra Power Loads supplied by Cap-Chur Equipment for use in the Tetra Line Thrower.  Power Loads or Blank charges designed for other uses may be dangerous if used in the Tetra Line Thrower.   Operating the Line Thrower The Tetra Line Thrower is similar in operation to a standard bolt-action firearm but uses only Tetra Power Loads, which are supplied by Cap-Chur Equipment, for use in the Tetra Line Throwers.  It is loaded, discharged and unloaded in a similar way to many single shot, bolt action rifles.  It features a spigot type Barrel to guide the Safety Line Weight, which has four gas vents placed at 90-degree angles to the direction of firing.  This means that it is safe to use because it is virtually impossible to fire any projectile other than the special Tetra Safety Line Weights. Aiming the Tetra Line Thrower is much the same as aiming a shotgun except for the more curved trajectory of the Safety Line Weight and Line. There are no sights fitted apart from the Guide Rib on the top of the Blast Arrestor as the Tetra Line Thrower is aimed ‘instinctively’. Practice with the type of Line, the strength of Power Load, and the type of Safety Line Weight to be used is essential to achieve proficiency and accuracy with the Tetra Line Thrower. Recoil force varies according to the strength of Power Load used but even with a High (Green) Tetra Power Load it is never greater than approximately that of a 12 gauge shotgun.  To minimize the effects of recoil always pull the Tetra Line Thrower firmly into your shoulder before firing. IMPORTANT WARNING: As with all other power operated equipment, eye protection such as safety or shooting glasses must be worn at all times by the operator and also by any persons standing close to the Tetra Line Thrower when it is discharged. IMPORTANT WARNING: While the Tetra Line Thrower is not excessively noisy, it is always good practice to wear ear protection while firing to avoid risk of hearing impairment.
