•
Use the right ball. Use only JUGS dimpled style, Lite-Flite, one-ounce
polyball softballs or high quality leather softballs 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 (AWG) 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 tire.
•
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 tire. Do not put hands or fingers into ball feed
chute. Hands and fingers should only go to the edge of the chute.
•
Inspect machine before every use. If damaged, have repaired by a
qualified JUGS service technician.
•
Inspect tire before every use. Be sure tire is free of grit and debris
before turning on machine.
