Operation
9. When you increase speed of any pitch, you must lower elevation of aim;
when you decrease speed, you must increase the aim elevation.
10. Space all pitches approximately six seconds apart. Try to get the batter
to regard each pitch as a “separate” pitch and not to be an “automatic”
swinger.
11. Always “show” the ball to batter. When you are certain the batter has
acknowledged that he or she is ready, set ball in feed chute and release.
Do not drop the ball into the chute.
12. Do not permit more than one or two persons around the pitching machine
during its operation.
13. Do not permit the pitching machine to fall on its wheels. This could result
in non-warranty damage.
14. Check tightness of all bolts and nuts at regular intervals. If any looseness,
vibration, or rattle is noticed, correct immediately before further use.
15. Always turn speed dials to the full counter-clockwise position when
throwing is completed or temporarily stopped. Then turn toggle switch to
the Off position.
WARNING:
A pitching screen must be used to protect the operator and
the machine from batted balls.
NOTE:
We suggest that each operator spend a couple of hours experimenting with
the JUGS pitching machine. Try many different speed settings. Do not be
afraid that any setting you make will harm the pitching machine; however, you
should use a wide backstop when experimenting with faster speeds.
