Setup for baseball Use:

1. With the tire side down, place the triangular leg clamp in the leg clamp

casting. (See Figure 3.)

2. Insert the threaded end of the Leg T-Clamp through the center hole in the

leg clamp casting and start the threads.

3. Install one leg in each round hole in the center piece of the leg clamp

casting. Tighten the Leg T-Clamp sufficiently to hold the legs in place very

snugly.

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. Loosen Handle Bar Lock Knob on top of handle bar and position machine

to aim at desired target. Tighten the lock knob. (You will have to practice

this targeting so you will know how to set the machine for each pitch.)

8. Slide the right wheel toward the left wheel and position the base ball

feed chute assembly so that its two mounting holes line up with the two

mounting holes on the pitching machine. See red stripe on the casting for

proper hole alignment. Insert and securely tighten the two lock knobs into

their appropriate mounting holes. You are now ready to throw baseballs,

tennis balls, or poly baseballs.
