JUGS Sports Combo (2 wheel) Pitching Machine - Manual (Page 18)

Your JUGS Combination (Combo) Pitching machine has the versatility to
throw baseballs, softballs, tennis balls and polyballs.
1. Operators of JUGS Pitching Machines must wear safety glasses and
batting helmets at all times.
2. Check speed dial and make sure it is in the full counter-clockwise position
(pointer at “0”) and the toggle switch is in the Off position.
3. Plug heavy-duty, No. 16 gauge three-prong, extension cord into II0-volt
A/C outlet and connect to short cord on pitching machine. Place the
pitcher’s screen in front of the pitching machine to protect the operator
and the pitching machine from batted balls.
4. Loosen Base T-Clamp and aim machine at desired target. Re-tighten
Base Clamp. To adjust trajectory, loosen Handle Bar Lock Knob (Figure
3) and adjust until desired trajectory is attained, then tighten securely. For
fine adjustments, loosen lock knob slightly and adjust Handle Bar down,
or sideways. (It is normal to throw five or six test balls before arriving at
the setting and aim point you desire).
5. Place toggle switch in the ON position. Gradually turn speed dials to
desired speed.
6. Have all batters and observers stand well clear of the target as you throw
practice balls to adjust trajectory. Tighten Handle Bar securely. Always
have the batter stand clear while adjusting your JUGS pitching machine.
7. At the beginning of practice, or after any change in speed, curve, or
trajectory, have the batter stand well clear while at least one test ball is
thrown to make sure the ball is thrown at the desired target. If you move
the machine for any reason, repeat this process.
8. Throw balls at speeds the batter can learn to hit. As the batter’s skills
increase you can throw faster pitches.
