practice.

flyballs and Pop-ups (figure 4b and 4c)

• Loosen the L-handle, adjust the trajectory of the machine upward to the

desired position, and then tighten the L-handle securely. The greater the

upward angle, the steeper the angle the flyball or the pop-up will have. For

best results, loosen the ball-chute lock knob and remove the ball chute.

This will then allow you to "push" the ball into the ball sleeve.

WARNING:

Keep hands and fingers away from tires and tire-side

edges of the ball chute and ball sleeve. When throwing

pop-ups, the operator must be wear a catcher's mask

as well as a batting helmet. When finished throwing fly-

balls and pop-ups, always reconnect the ball chute and

tighten the ball chute lock knob securely.
