Extension Cords
Use only 3-wire 16 AWG or larger grounding type extension cords that have 3-
prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the machine’s plug.
When using the machine at a considerable distance from a power source, use
an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the machine will
draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting
in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Only round jacketed
cords listed by Underwriter’s laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working with the machine outdoors, use an extension cord designed for
outside use. This is indicated by the letters “WA” on the cord’s jacket. Before
using the extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn
insulation.
WARNING:
Keep the cord away from the rotating tire area. Repair or
replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
Electrical Connection
Your JUGS pitching machine is powered by a 90 volt motor(s). Do not operate
this machine on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a
loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the machine does not operate
when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply. Your pitching
machine will operate under a standard 110 voltage AC outlet. Do not use an
adapter with this product.
This machine is intended
for use on a circuit that
has an outlet like the one
shown in Figure 2. It also
has a grounding pin like
the one shown.
