Operation (cont.)
11 . At the beginning of practice, or after any change in speed, or trajectory, have
the batter stand well clear while at least one test ball is thrown to make sure
the ball is thrown at the desired target . If you move the machine for any
reason, repeat this process .
12 . Throw balls at speeds the batter can learn to hit . As the batter’s skills
increase you can throw faster pitches . Always pitch balls at a speed
suitable for the age and skill level of the batter . Pitches thrown too fast will
be counterproductive and dangerous .
13 . When you increase speed of any pitch, you must lower the elevation of aim .
When you decrease the speed, you must increase the aim elevation .
14 . Do not permit the pitching machine to fall on its wheel . This could result in
non-warranty 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 (see figure 5) . Then turn the
on/off switch to the Off position .
! CAUTION: The wheel will continue to spin for up to two minutes after the
power has been shut off. Stay clear of the wheel until it has come
to a complete stop before stepping into the line of flight of the
pitch or transporting the pitching machine.
