• Inspect extension cords periodically and 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 a cord to disconnect it from receptacle.
Keep cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Stay constantly aware of
the cord location and keep it well away from the rotating tires.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, 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 (or goggles) while the wheels are
rotating. Debris on the wheels can fly off and cause physical harm.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT
safety glasses.
• Never touch rotating wheels. Do not put hands or fingers into ball- feed
chute. Hands and fingers should only go to the edge of the chute.
• Do not permit the soccer machine to fall on its wheels. This could
result in non-warrantied damage.
• Inspect the machine before every use. If damaged, have it repaired by
a qualified JUGS service technician.
• Inspect the wheels before every use. Be sure the wheels are free of grit
and debris before turning on the machine.
• Do not use machine if the ON/Off switch does not work. In the
unlikely event that the switch becomes defective, have it replaced by a
qualified JUGS service technician.
