MAINTENANCE
Your machine comes with a Limited Warranty.
Under normal use and care ATEC guarantees, to the original owner, the
machine to be free from defects in materials and workmanship with the
following limitations,
5-years on all structural components.
2-years on all moving and wear components.
During this period ATEC will repair or replace with new or refurbished
components, at ATEC’s sole discretion, any component found to be
defective without cost to the owner, provided the defective product is
returned to the factory at the owner’s expense. Proof of purchase may be
required by ATEC to approve certain warranty claims.
This product is not intended for commercial use. Commercial use of this
product without the prior written consent of ATEC will void your warranty.
ATEC machine wheels are made of elastometric urethane which
maximize ball grip and overall machine performance. This material,
by nature, is very pliable. To maintain optimum performance, never
store or transport your machine laying on its throwing wheel(s).
Also, never store or transport your machine in an environment that
exceeds 120°F.
ATEC training machines require little maintenance, but there are a
few actions that will extend the life of your machine.
1. Keep the machine clean. Clean any dust or dirt from all parts of
the machine after each use. Use a soft dry cloth and wipe the frame
and wheels. Note: Only clean your machine when it is
unplugged and all parts have stopped moving.
2. Some types of balls may cause a buildup of residue on the
wheel’s tread. Light buildup will not affect the machine’s
performance, however you will need to clean the tread if the buildup
becomes excessive. To remove residue from the tread: unplug the
machine and wait for the wheel to stop. Use 80-grit sandpaper to
lightly sand the surface of the wheel’s tread.
3. The motor is sealed and requires no lubrication/maintenance.
4. Any maintenance or repair to the motor or electrical
components must be performed only by a qualified technician.
WARNING: After turning your machine off, the wheel(s) will continue
to turn for 2-3 minutes. DO NOT attempt to move the machine until the
wheel(s) stop completely. DO NOT attempt to stop the wheel(s) with
your hand or any other object.
