Maintenance
Review the following instructions carefully to maintain maximum
accuracy with your JUGS Pitching Machine.
• Maintain tire pressure at 16 to 17 psi (25 psi for tennis balls).
Cleaning
• Keep machine clean, and free of grit and dirt. Always use a clean
damp cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean machine.
• Periodically, you must clean the tires to help maintain their maximum
performance. A dirty tire can easily be distinguished by either a dark
ring around the tire surface or when the surface itself has turned
yellow and has a very glossy or shiny finish.
• Take medium grade sandpaper (sometimes an even coarser grade is
necessary depending on the amount of soil buildup) and begin to
scrub the tire surface as you would a very dirty frying pan. This process
can be very tedious and could take up to 10 minutes per tire. However,
it is necessary in order to completely clean the rubber of all foreign
substances, as well as prepare it for better machine performance.
You should sand the tires whenever you notice the soil build-up
forming. Always sand tires with the power switch OFF and the machine
unplugged.
Once you complete this operation the tire surface will, in most cases,
take on the white color it was originally. Maintaining the tire in this
fashion will not only maximize the performance and accuracy of your
machine, but it will extend the life of the tire.
Storage
• Always store machine and extension cord in separate, clean, dry
secured areas. Cover the machine with a suitable dust cover that does
not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
