Using the Scatterbird Mark 4
To operate the Scatterbird Mark 4, you will require a 12-volt battery and a cylinder of propane gas, any size is suitable for use with the Scatterbird.
Use of an internal 12-volt battery (not included) is recommended to keep the wiring away from vermin and to prevent any kind of flood damage to the battery and wiring.
The Scatterbird MK4’s plated stainless steel legs raise the unit off of the ground to allow the full force of the bang to be heard with maximum effect.
