• 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 the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Stay
constantly aware of cord 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.
• Any person near this machine must always wear safety glasses and
football helmets while the wheels are rotating. Debris on the tires can
fly off and cause physical harm. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
• Never touch rotating wheels. While pushing the passing/kicking slide,
hands and fingers should not go beyond feed-bar bearing.
• 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.
