Operation
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Do not permit more than one or two persons around the pitching machine
during its operation.
bATTING HELMETS MUST bE WORN AT ALL TIMES.
9. 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 experiment-
ing with the JUGS Jr. pitching machine. (You may want to jot down the
wheel position and speed dial settings in the space provided on pages
29-30 for future reference). Try many different speed settings. Do not be
afraid that any setting you make will harm the pitching machine; how-
ever, you should use a wide backstop when experimenting with faster
speeds.
10. At the beginning of practice, or after any change in speed, or trajectory, have
the batter stand well clear while at least one test ball is thrown to make sure
the ball is thrown at the desired target. If you move the machine for any
reason, repeat this process.
WARNING: A pitching screen must be used to protect the
operator and the machine from batted balls.
