WARNING:

A pitching screen must be used to protect the operator and the

machine from batted balls.

NOTE:
We suggest that each operator spend a couple of hours experimenting with the
JUGS pitching machine. 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.

10. Space all pitches approximately six seconds apart. Try to get the

batter to regard each pitch as a “separate” pitch and not to be an “automatic”
swinger.

11. Always “show” the ball to batter. When you are certain the batter has

acknowledged that he or she is ready, set ball in feed chute and release. Do

not drop the ball into the chute.

12. Do not permit more than one or two persons around the pitching machine

during its operation.

13. Do not permit the pitching machine to fall on its wheels. This could result in

non-warranty damage.

14. Check tightness of all bolts and nuts at regular intervals. If any looseness,

vibration, or rattle is noticed, correct immediately before further use.

15. Always turn speed dial to the full counter-clockwise position when throwing

is completed or temporarily stopped. Then turn toggle switch to the OFF
position.
