Lyman Products Corporation 475 Smith Street, Middletown, CT 06457 Attn: Service Department Lyman 475 Smith Street Middletown, CT 06457 860-632-2020 www.lymanproducts.com Auto Advance Remote Target System The new Lyman Auto-Advance Remote Target System is a revolutionary design, offering the advantage of remote target advancement previously only found in expen-
sive industrial systems. The Auto-Advance Remote Target System will advance your targets with the use of a hand-held remote controller at distances of up to 200 yards. No more walking downrange to replace targets, or waiting for a cease-fire to be called. Advance to the next target without getting up from your shooting bench! The Auto-Advance system is battery operated, so there is no need for access to power outlets, plus it disassembles easily for transportation back and forth to the range. The Auto-Advance system has protection plates that are rated for use with all rimfire cal-
ibers. The legs of the stand use standard and inexpensive electrical conduit tubing available at any home center. This makes replacing damaged legs simple and also al-
lows for customizing target heights to suit your particular needs. The Auto-Advance System comes with a roll of standard bullseye targets. Additional 50 foot target rolls are available with bullseye, small bore rifle, animal and silhouette designs. Warnings The Auto-Advance System is rated for use with rimfire calibers only. The use of centerfire caliber firearms will void the warranty. Use only on ranges and areas where you are sure of having a safe backstop and that any ricochets will be deflected in a safe manner. Follow all safe firearm handling procedures. Keep firearms unloaded and pointing in a safe direction when anyone is down-
range. For adult use only. Children should be properly supervised by adults if using this product. Be sure to follow any and all range rules regarding target stands.

Fig.2 29 long, which is an optimal length; although you can cut the tubing to what-
ever length best suits your needs. We recommend using approximately 29 long legs for the upper section. The lower legs can be varied up or down approxi-
mately 1 foot as needed. Keep in mind the height of the backstop or retaining wall that the Auto-Advance System may be placed in front of when selecting the height of the legs. Replacement Target Rolls Available Bullseye Target Roll Item #4320075 Small Bore Rifle Target Roll Item #4320076 Slide the motor assembly onto the two tubes so that the angled deflector plate faces forward and is positioned to deflect hits downward. Note that the wing nuts on the sides of the motor assembly may need to be loosened to accept the tubes.
(See Fig.2) Slide the remaining two tubes into the openings on the top surfaces of the motor assembly. Tighten the wing nuts on the sides of the motor assembly securely. Varmint Target Roll Item #4320078 Silhouette Target Roll Item #4320077

Operation tenna to its full length. Turn power switch to the ON position on the motor assembly and pull out the an-
Turn on the power to the remote with the switch on the side of the remote. Press the upper button on the remote to begin advancing the target. Press the lower but-
ton to stop the target from advancing. Line up a target in the center of the opening. The target should be fairly taut so that it does not move excessively in the wind. The tension on the target roll can be adjusted with the knob on the left hand side of the upper target roller assembly. Loosen the outer knob, then adjust inner knob clockwise to add tension and counter-clockwise to decrease the amount of tension. Apply just enough tension to keep the target taut. Too much tension will need-
lessly overwork the motor. Tighten outer knob once adjustment is complete. (See Fig.9) Place the target stand down range as you would any other target stand. Follow all of your local range rules regarding target stands. To secure the stand once in place, four large landscape spikes are provided. Drive them through the holes in the legs by hand or with a mallet. This will keep the stand stable in moderate wind or if the frame is accidentally shot. In the case of concrete, asphalt or frozen ground, sand bags or bags of lead shot could be used to provide stability. After a target is used up, use the remote from your shooting location to advance to a fresh one. Use the top button on the remote to begin advancing and once a new target is lined up in the opening press the bottom button to stop it. The use of a spotting scope or your rifle scope may be necessary at longer ranges. A crank handle is supplied with the Auto-Advance system that will allow the tar-
gets to be rolled back onto the upper roll. This is used to rewind the targets back onto the upper roll so that they can be reviewed. First disengage the motor from the spindle by pulling out the knob and turning as described above, then place the crank handle on the hex bolt on the right hand side of the upper target roller as-
sembly. Crank the handle clockwise to rewind the targets. Changing Target Rolls When a roll of targets is used up, it will need to be rewound back onto the upper roll. Disengage the motor from the spindle by pulling out the knob and turning, then rewind the spent roll completely with the crank handle. (Tip: a cordless drill on low speed with a 10mm socket could be used to speed up rewinding) After rewinding the roll, rotate the locking cam on the right hand side of the upper target roller assembly up and forwards. Lift the right hand side of the target roll up and out of the slot and pull the other end of the target roll off of the left hand side stud. Replace the roll with a new one following the assembly instructions. Changing/Replacing Legs Inevitably the legs on your unit will sustain accidental shots or damage. Be-
cause of this, standard EMT Electrical Conduit tubing is used for the legs of the Auto-Advance System. Contact Lyman or visit the Lyman website at www.lymanproducts.com to purchase replacement legs, or this inexpensive tubing can be found at most hardware stores or home centers. Factory legs are Fig.3 Slide the upper target roller assembly onto the top of the two tubes so that the an-
gled deflector plate faces forward and is positioned to deflect hits downward. Tighten the wing nuts on the back side of the upper assembly securely. (See Fig.3)

Rotate the locking lever on the right hand side of the upper target roller as-
sembly up and forwards.
(See Fig.4) Place a target roll onto the roller stud on the left hand side of the upper assem-
bly. Note that there are two ridges on the stud that need to line up with two slots in the center tube of the target roll. The target roll should be positioned so that the target unrolls facing the shooter. Place the other roller stud onto the opposite end of the target roll and fit it into the two slots. Slide the roller stud into the slot in the top of the upper target roller assem-
bly so that the headed hex bolt is just behind the side wall of the assembly. (See Fig.5) Fig.8 Fig.4 Fig.5 Fig.6 Rotate the locking lever back down over the head of the hex bolt. (See Fig.6) Pull out knob and turn to disengage the motor from the spindle. This allows the lower spindle to freewheel. (See Fig.7) Pull the target material downwards to the lower spindle and slip the end of it into the slot in the center. Allow for about an inch of target to protrude through the bot-
tom of the spindle.(See Fig.8) Start rolling of target material onto lower spindle by rotating a few revolutions by hand. Engage the motor by turning the knob back into position so that it drops down into the two notches. 8 AA batteries are required for the target stand. The battery compartment is located in the motor enclosure. Remove thumb screw and open compartment to install bat-
teries. One 9V battery is required for the remote. Remove cover on back side and install.
