• Use the right ball. For best results, use JUGS dimpled-style, JUGS hard
dimpled-style, Lite-Flite, or cricket-style balls in this machine.
• Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
• Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire-gauge
size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or
less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
• do not abuse the cord. Never yank cord to disconnect it from receptacle.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Stay constantly aware of cord
location and keep it well away from the rotating tires.
• dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets,
or other jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into the moving parts. Long
hair should be tied up and tucked under hats and helmets. Severe physical
harm may result if loose clothing, jewelry or hair is caught in rotating tires.
• Always wear safety glasses and batting helmets while the wheels are
rotating. Debris on the tires can fly off and cause physical harm. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
• Never touch rotating tires. Do not put hands or fingers into the ball-feed
chute. Hands and fingers should only go to the edge of the chute (or the edge
of the sleeve, in the case of fly-ball or pop-up practice).
• Inspect the machine before every use. If damaged, have it repaired by a
qualified JUGS service technician.
• Inspect the tires before every use. Be sure tires are free of grit and debris
before turning on the machine.
• do not use the machine if ON/OFF switch does not work. In the unlikely
event that the switch becomes defective, have it replaced by a qualified JUGS
service technician.
