Zinger Winger G5 Uplander Assembly Instructions


1. Insert the swing arm into the bushing on the pouch arm. Thread the locking nut and tighten.
WARNING: Failure to securely tighten this part can result in severe injury.

2. Align the metal arm bushings to the box frame holes and install all four bolts and locknuts. Make sure the bolts are facing inside and the nuts are facing outside. Tighten the bolts so that the metal arms still pivot freely.

3. Loop one end of the spring through each end of the metal arm assembly. Repeat with the other springs.
4. The free end of the springs can now be connected through the holes located on the brace of the box frame.
NOTE: You may need to use pliers or vise grips to loop the spring ends through the holes.

5. Attach the strip of RecieverLok to the back of your remote and press the two mating surfaces together. Ensure the remote receiver's antenna will not interfere with the metal arms of the launcher when activated.

6. Attach the electronic plug to the receiver.

7. An extension leg is provided if you require an angled launch.
