JUGS Sports Cricket Bowling Machine - Manual (Page 23)

▲
NOTE:
We suggest that each operator spend a couple of hours experimenting with the
JUGS Bowling Machine. (You may want to jot down the wheel position and speed-
dial settings for future reference). Try many different speed settings. Do not be
afraid that any setting you make will harm the bowling machine; however, you
should use a wide backstop when experimenting with faster speeds.
• 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 bowled to make
sure the ball is aimed at the desired target. If you move the machine for any
reason, repeat this process.
• Bowl balls at speeds the batter can learn to hit. As the batter’s skills increase
you can bowl faster deliveries.
• When you increase the speed of any delivery, you must lower the elevation of
aim; when you decrease the speed, you must increase the aim elevation.
• Do not permit the bowling machine to fall on its wheels. This could result in
non-warrantied damage.
• Check the tightness of all bolts and nuts at regular intervals. If any looseness,
vibration, or rattle is noticed, correct it immediately before further use.
• Always turn both dials to the full counter-clockwise position when bowling is
completed or temporarily stopped. Then turn the toggle switch to the OFF
position.
! WARNING: A protective screen must be used to protect the operator and the
machine from batted balls.
