• To move the pitching machine, slowly tip machine over until tires rest on the

ground. Grasp and lift two legs and roll on wheels to new position as you
would a wheelbarrow. The JUGS pitching machine will fit in the trunk of a car
by removing its legs.

• Do not roll tires on surfaces that might damage the tire. If the tire becomes

deformed, flat, or damaged, it must be repaired before using the machine. (See
tire specifications, page 18.)

WARNING:

Never leave pitching machine unattended.

4. Place rubber leg caps on lower end of legs if JUGS is to be used indoors. The

leg caps are not recommended for outdoor use.

5. Lift the pitching machine upright.

IMPORTANT:
Always set up the pitching machine so that the two legs are positioned in front,
facing the pitching screen and batter, and one leg facing back toward the operator.
6. Check both speed dials and make sure they are in the full counter-clockwise

position (pointer at “0” setting) and the toggle switch is in the OFF position.

7. Plug heavy-duty, no.16-gauge three-prong extension cord into 110-volt GFCI

outlet and connect to short cord on pitching machine. Place the pitcher’s
screen in front of the pitching machine to protect the operator and the pitching
machine from batted balls.

8. Loosen handle bar lock knob on top of handle bar and position machine to aim

at desired target. Tighten handle bar lock knob. (You will have to practice this
targeting so you will know how to set the machine for each pitch.)

WARNING:

Horizontal adjustment and T-clamp must always be tightened
securely before throwing pitches. All lock knobs and T-clamp
must also be tightened firmly before using the pitching machine.
