JUGS Sports 101 (2 wheel) Baseball Pitching Machine - Manual (Page 16)

14
Operation
10. When you increase the speed of any pitch, you must lower the eleva-
tion of the aim; when you decrease speed, you must increase the aim
elevation.
11. 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.
12. Always "show" the ball to the batter. When you are certain the batter has
acknowledged that he or she is ready, set the ball in the feed chute and
release it. Do not drop the ball into the chute.
13. Do not permit more than one or two persons around the pitching machine
during its operation.
14. Do not permit the pitching machine to fall on its wheels. This could result
in non-warrantied damage.
15. Check tightness of all bolts and nuts at regular intervals. If any looseness,
vibration, or rattle is noticed, correct immediately before further use.
16. Always turn the speed dial to the full counter-clockwise position when
throwing is completed or temporarily stopped. Then turn the 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.
IMPORTANT: If the machine becomes wet during practice, turn it off immedi-
ately, and transport it to a clean, dry location. Wipe off surface water with a soft,
clean cloth and permit the machine to air dry completely before its next use.
