Operation
Proper Position of the Feed Chute for Various Throws:
•
Straight balls and Risers:
Position the feed chute level to throw
straight balls and risers by adjusting the
vertical T-Clamp. To make the ball “rise”,
turn the control dial up to "75" or more.
Under "75", the ball will move straight.
•
Slow Pitch Tosses:
By adjusting the vertical T-Clamp, you can
position the feed chute slightly upward for
soft pitch tosses (or higher for flyballs, see
Fielding Practice). The dial setting should
be around "30" for slow pitch tosses.
•
Drop balls (High Profile Leg Position):
The legs should be in the “High Profile” position. Position the two
legs so they point in the direction of second base, and one leg points
toward home plate. (This is the exact opposite of the position of the
legs when you are throwing straight balls. See Figure 5.) Position the
rotating plate so that the ball feed chute is near the bottom of the tire
or wheel and facing the operator.
One JUGS leg should be pointing at home plate when throwing drop balls.
When throwing risers, one JUGS leg should be pointing at second base.
