Operation in the Field
Your Bumper Boy is a flexible tool that will provide realistic
training situations to prepare your dog for hunting and
competition. The following step-by- step procedures will
assist you to safely and effectively use the Bumper Boy in
your training program.
Plan the Scenario
Examine the terrain and choose the lines you wish to use
to challenge your dog. Select the location for setting up the
launcher, the area of fall for the bumper or Super Bird, and
the location of the line from which you and your dog will
run the scenario. Consider the effect wind may have on
the path of the bumper and the dog’s performance.
CAUTION
Inspect the line your dog may run to the area of the fall
for holes, hidden ditches or other obstacles that may
injure your dog. Be sure there is no vegetation or other
obstructions overhanging the location you have
selected for the launcher or in the line of flight of the
bumper.
Tip
Run the In House Test, and check the sound function,
the night before you plan to use your Bumper Boys. If
you observe a low battery light on either the transmitter
or the receivers, or the sound does not activate at the
launcher, charge the batteries in those components.
CAUTION
Ensure the launcher is not set up on dry grass to avoid
an accidental fire.

Configure the Launcher
(Bi-Directional Mode)
The Ultra II Bumper Boy 2 and 4 shot models can be
configured to launch the bumpers in one direction, or in
opposite directions. The unit is shipped with all launcher
tubes oriented in the same direction. To configure the unit
to launch bumpers in opposite directions proceed as
follows:
Remove the three wing nuts and their associated
washers and lock washers.
Remove the end plate.
Rotate the threaded angle adjustment rod(s) for the
removable launcher assemblies past the top of the
frame or end plate, so they lie on the opposite side of
the launcher frame when the end plate is replaced.
Pull the near Launcher Assembly(s) and the spacer
from the launcher frame.
Rotate the Launcher Assembly(s) 180 degrees in a
horizontal plane.
Replace the Launcher Assembly and the spacer on
the launcher frame
Replace the end plate and the washers and wing nuts.
Use the same method to return the launcher assemblies to
the same direction.
CAUTION
Be sure the wires leading to the launcher tube servo
are free to remain slack when the launch tube is rotated
on the launcher frame and the launcher tube breech is
opened.
