JUGS Sports 101 (2 wheel) Baseball Pitching Machine - Manual (Page 8)

• Use the right ball. Use only JUGS dimpled-style, Lite-Flite, Softie, one-
ounce polyball baseballs, high-quality baseballs (9-inch Wilson A1010
equal or better), or tennis balls in this machine.
• Inspect extension cords periodically. Replace them if damaged.
• Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
A wire gauge size (AWG) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension
cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never yank the cord to disconnect it from a recep-
tacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Stay constantly
aware of the cord’s location, and keep it well away from the rotating tires.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into the
moving parts. Long hair should be tied up and tucked under hats and
helmets. Severe physical harm may result if loose clothing, jewelry or hair
is caught in rotating tires.
• Always wear safety glasses and batting helmets while the wheels are
rotating. Debris on the tires can fly off and cause physical harm. Everyday
eyeglasses have only one-impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses.
• Never touch rotating tires. Do not put hands or fingers into the ball feed
chute. Hands and fingers should only go to the edge of the chute (or the
edge of the sleeves in the case of fly ball or pop-up practice).
• Inspect the machine before every use. If damaged, have it repaired by
a qualified JUGS service technician.
• Inspect tires before every use. Be sure tires are free of grit and debris
before turning on the machine.
