Loading the Hopper
When the Paw Knob (Angle) is on the lower settings (1-4), three tennis balls will fit into the Hopper. When the
Paw Knob (Angle) is on the higher settings (5-9), it is best to use one ball at a time. Three balls may be placed
into the Hopper on higher settings, however, the balls in waiting may be knocked out of the Hopper.
Distance Settings
The distance settings are a guideline and not exact. Pressure in the balls used may affect the distances
launched. Start with the Tennis Ball Knob all the way to the right.
DISTANCE SETTINGS TENNIS BALL KNOB SETTING
For 2.5 to 3 metres launch range Turn Knob left 1 – 2 notches
For 3 to 6 metres launch range Turn Knob left 3 – 5 notches
For 6 to 7.5 metres launch range Turn Knob left 6 – 7 notches
For 7.5 metre or more launch range Turn Knob left 8 – 9 notches
While using the Ball Launcher, do not allow your dog to overexert themselves,
especially puppies whose muscles and joints are still developing.
Motion Sensor
There is also a Motion Sensor on the front of the Ball Launcher. If motion is detected, a 1 second tone will
play, alerting the user there is a disturbance. The sensor will stop the launch for 5 seconds until motion is no
longer detected, and the ball will launch if there are no more disturbances. For this reason, do not walk in front
of the Ball Launcher if your intention is to launch a ball. Train your dog to stand to the side or 2 metres away
from the front of the launch area. If nothing is in the way of the Motion Sensor, the ball will launch.
• There is a Ball Detection Sensor in the Hopper. When a ball is detected in the launch pocket, a launch
tone will play.
• There is also a Safety Sensor in the launch pocket that will detect foreign objects in the launch pocket to
stop a launch. Do not interfere with the Safety Sensor or disable it for any reason.
NEVER touch the Safety Sensor in the launch pocket area. This sensor is for your safety
and if it is touched during operation or while the unit is ON it may cause serious injury.
Rest Mode
This safety feature is to ensure that your dog will not over-work itself. It is very easy for dogs to play without
realising they need to rest, especially younger dogs. When the Ball Launcher is powered ON, the dog may
initiate play at any time. After 15 minutes of continuous play, the machine will go into Rest Mode and rest for
15 minutes. The Ball Launcher will let the dog and person know when it will go into Rest Mode by emitting
