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 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. 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.
