MACHINE SETUP
Intended Use
This pickleball machine is intended for use on a pickleball court. For safety reasons,
players should stand on the opposite side of the net at a minimum of 22 feet away
from the machine. This ball machine is designed to throw pickleballs only.
Unpack and Assembly
Remove the machine from the box. Keep the box along with the packing materials in
case the machine needs to be shipped back to the factory.
Assembly:
• Detach the hopper.
• Flip the hopper and reattach by pushing the hopper on to the case knobs,
starting with the front knob (side furthest from handle), then push down to
attach the hopper to the back knob.
• Do not remove the wire deflectors.
• Snap-in the elevation level pointer on the front of red base.
Handle Operation
To raise the handle, simply lift up on the handle until a click is heard or felt.
To fold the
handle, stand behind the machine and move the switches on the inside of the hinges
up to the unlock position and apply light pressure to the upper section of the handle
until it begins to fold.
Transporting
The handle is provided to push or pull the machine. The lower part of the handle is
designed to easily go up/down stairs but, it can also wear the metal and cause
premature failure if care is not used. Be aware of steps or rough surfaces that may
bend or damage the underside of the machine.
To prepare the machine for transport in your vehicle, invert the hopper to cover the
machine and fold the handle down. The machine weighs approximately 42 lbs and
may be lifted into a vehicle by one or two people. Use the molded handholds on the
underside of the machine to lift and carry the machine.
