JUGS Sports Field General Football Machine - Manual (Page 6)

WARNING: Do not allow your familiarity with the machine to cause you
to be careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is enough time to inflict severe injury on yourself or
others.
SAVE THIS MANUAL. Refer to it often and use it to instruct other users. Do
not loan your football machine to anyone who has not been instructed in its
use. If you do loan your machine, be sure this manual goes with it.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
connected to an appropriate GFCI outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes, is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if you are in doubt as to whether
the pitching machine is properly grounded.
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
Electrical
9
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 or 220-voltage if
applicable. 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.
