GETTING READY TO PLAY
ALIGNING THE OSCILLATOR
When using the oscillator, begin by
aligning the machine with the court
by ensuring that the lower platter is
“square” with the court. The lower
platter is the part to which the
rubber feet are attached. Its front
edge must be parallel to the
baseline (check both sides). This
will ensure that the machine will
swing equally to the left and right.
Note that it is not the body of the
machine that needs to be aligned
with the court but the stationary
platter that sits on the ground. The
alignment fins that jut out from
under the machine provide an easy
way of checking on alignment.
THE HOPPER
To install the hopper for play, lift
it up from the body of the
machine, remove the pin from
the post shown in the photo,
and lay the hopper right-side-up
on top of the machine.
It is essential that the pin be
inserted in the post as shown
in the photo. Without the pin,
the hopper will lift from the
machine during play and will
allow balls to become
jammed.
Note that the handle is lowered
during play. This protects the
handle and provides for a free flow of balls in the hopper.
