Maintenance
Review the following instructions carefully to maintain maximum
accuracy with your JUGS Pitching Machine.
Maintain tire pressure at 16 to 17 psi.
Cleaning
•
Keep the machine clean, and free of grit and dirt. Always use a clean
damp cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any solvents to clean machine.
•
Periodically, you must clean the wheel to help maintain its maximum
performance. A dirty wheel can easily be distinguished by either a dark
ring around the wheel surface or when the surface itself has turned yellow
and has a very glossy or shiny finish..
•
Using medium-grade sandpaper (sometimes an even coarser grade is
necessary depending on the amount of soil buildup) begin to scrub the
tire surface. This process can be very tedious and may take up to 10
minutes per tire. However, it is necessary to completely remove all foreign
substances from the tire to prepare it for better machine performance.
You should sand the tire whenever you notice the soil build-up forming.
Always sand the tire with the power switch Off and the machine
unplugged.
•
Once you complete this operation the tire surface will, in most cases, take
on the white color it was originally. Maintaining the tire in this fashion will
not only maximize the performance and accuracy of your machine, but it
will extend the life of the tire.
Storage
• Always store the machine and extension cord in separate, clean, dry
secured areas. Cover the machine with a suitable dust cover that does
not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
