13. Increase the speed of the pitch by turning the dial clockwise on the Digital
Readout Panel (see Figure 6).
•
When you increase speed of any pitch, you must lower the elevation
of aim; when you decrease the speed, you must increase the aim
elevation.
14. To regulate the height of the pitch:
•
Hold the Feed Chute Handle and loosen the vertical T-Clamp.
•
Move the feed chute TOWARDS home plate for a lower pitch.
Move the feed chute AWAY from home plate for a higher pitch.
•
Hand tighten the vertical T-Clamp.
WARNING: NEVER loosen the vertical T-Clamp without holding the
Feed Chute Handle.
15. To regulate the direction of the pitch:
•
Loosen the horizontal T-Clamp.
•
Grasp the Feed Chute Handle and move the “top” of the JUGS
sideways until the chute is aimed at the desired target.
•
Hand tighten horizontal T-Clamp.
NOTE: When throwing faster pitches (dial setting 75-100 mph), be sure to
line up horizontal T-Clamp over the red dot on the base and then
tighten the horizontal T-Clamp. To make small lateral adjustments
(for example, from “outside corner” pitches to “inside corner” pitches)
simply “shift” the legs of the pitching machine slightly by gently
tapping the legs with your foot. Be sure to throw test balls to ensure
pitch location before pitching to batter.
