• Use the right ball. Use only JUGS LeatherLast® Softballs, JUGS Sting-
Free® dimpled style softballs, Lite-Flite® softballs, Softie® softballs,
Bulldog™ poly softballs, or high-quality leather softballs.
• Inspect extension cords periodically and replace 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 cord to disconnect it from
receptacle. Keep 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.
• Always wear safety glasses and batting 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 tires. Do not put hands or fingers into ball feed
chute. Hands and fingers should only go to the edge of the chute (or
the edge of the sleeve in the case of fly ball or pop-up practice).
• Inspect machine before every use. If damaged, have repaired by a
qualified JUGS service technician.
• Inspect tires before every use. Be sure tires are free of grit and debris
before turning on machine.
• Do not use machine if ON/OFF switch does not work. In the unlikely
event that the switch becomes defective, have it replaced by a
qualified JUGS service technician.
• Keep machine clean, and free of grit and dirt. With the machine
