JUGS Sports MVP Baseball (1 wheel) Pitching Machine - Manual (Page 15)

Operation
6. To adjust the height of the pitch or trajectory for flyballs and pop-ups, loosen
the vertical adjustment, T-clamp, (located underneath the motor) a half turn.
Grab the grip on the rotating plate and pull back toward you (the operator)
to raise the height. Push forward away from you (the operator) to lower
the height and tighten the handle securely. (You will have to practice this
targeting so you will know how to set the machine for each pitch.)
7. Out-of-round, soft, mushy, or wet balls will affect accuracy of pitches and
must not be used. Mixing different types of balls (leather, rubber, JUGS, etc.)
will affect consistency of pitches. For best accuracy, throw only one type of
ball at a time.
8. Use only JUGS dimpled style, Lite-Flite®, Softie®, one-ounce poly baseballs,
high quality leather baseballs (9" Wilson A1010 or better) or tennis balls in
this machine.
9. Do not permit more than one or two persons around the pitching machine
during its operation.
bATTING HELMETS MUST bE WORN AT ALL TIMES.
10. Operators of JUGS Pitching Machines must wear safety glasses and batting
helmets at all times.
NOTE:
We suggest that each operator spend a couple of hours experimenting with the
JUGS MVP
® pitching machine. (You may want to jot down the wheel position
and speed dial settings in the space provided on page 19 for future reference).
Try many different speed settings. Do not be afraid that any setting you make
will harm the pitching machine; however, you should use a wide backstop when
experimenting with faster speeds.
WARNING: A pitching screen must be used to protect the operator and
the machine from batted balls.
