Pad Installation Instructions (printable version)

1.  Remove any and all residue from the area where the bumper pad will be installed.  The mounting area must be free of all traces of the old pad's adhesive or the replacement pad will not stick.

2.   With the arm assembled in the Statapult, mark with a pencil the top of where the stop position pull pin impacts the arm.  This will be just above the center position of where the pad needs to be installed.  Remove Arm Assembly from Catapult body. Scrape clean the pad area then wipe with the included IPA (Alcohol) swab. Let this area dry for 30 seconds.

3.  Remove the black round pad from its sheet.  Hold and align the pad centered on the arm in the position shown below so that the Stop Position pull pins’ impact is centered on the pad.  The pull pin should impact the center of the pad once the arm is assembled.  There is a small mark on the arm which denotes the bottom of the pad.

4. Install the Arm Assembly to the Statapult body and make sure Stop Position pin is in position B5.  Impact the installed pad 20 times by pulling back the arm and letting it go to cause impact with the stop position pin.  This will seat the pad.

Our new high durometer black pad needs no glue to hold it in place.  It was chosen specifically for its adhesive properties.  Units placed in service after August, 2007 incorporate this new pad.  Also all replacement pads shipped after June, 2007 will be this new black round pad.
