SOCCER MACHINE bALL-fEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow all safety-performance instructions in this manual. The following ball-
feeding instructions should be used to insure accurate and efficient operation
of the JUGS soccer machine.
Important Soccer Machine ball feeding Instructions.
1. Have all players and observers stand well clear of the target as you throw
test balls to adjust the trajectory and aiming point. Always move the player
away from the target area while making any direction or speed changes.
2. VERY IMPORTANT: Before you place the ball in the feed chute,
you should look up at the player and make absolutely sure the
player is watching you and is ready to receive the ball. It is
extremely important that you make sure the immediate area in front of
the soccer machine and the flight path of the ball is clear before you feed
the balls into the soccer machine.
3. Place a ball in the Feed Chute and observe the trajectory. Loosen the
elevating lock knob and adjust them until the desired trajectory is attained.
It is normal to throw a few practice balls before arriving at the desired
trajectory and speed setting.
4. When the player has taken his or her position and indicates he or she
is ready, hold the ball high in the air where the player can see it. Then
bring the ball down to the chute, simulating live action. Watch the ball as
it goes toward the wheels, then look up at the player. Set the ball in the
feed chute and push. The whole feeding operation should be smooth and
without interruption.
5. Time the throws at intervals that are comfortable for the receiver. Always
“show” the ball to the player, set it in the feed chute, and push.
