How to use messengers

1. Run line through messenger so tapered end points toward lower line end.
2. Run line through hole in trip release and knot securely under the handle.
3. Attach line to bottle, calibrate if desired.
4. Set stoppers in position. Pull them out of bottle end and attach cable loop to pin. When cables are attached, lower slowly, counting marks.
5. Hold messenger to keep it from falling down the line before you are ready.
6. When the bottle is at desired depth, drop the messenger, tapered nose first, to strike the trip release pad.
