THE CONTROL PANEL OF THE RIVAL Con’t.
FEED RATE
The interval at which balls are ejected can be adjusted from a full stop to a rapid fire rate. Pressing the
upper key increases the feed rate while pressing the lower key reduces it. The Feed rate is shown in the
window between the two buttons on a scale of 0 (full stop) to 10 (maximum).
SPIN CONTROL
Spin is generated by the relative speed of the two propulsion wheels. The seven lights between the two
buttons light up in sequence to show how much TOP spin or BACK spin is placed on the ball. The middle
light indicates that the ball is thrown “flat”. Press the TOP or BACK buttons to obtain the desired amount
of spin.
MEMORY
You can place the current SPEED, FEED RATE and SPIN settings in memory and retrieve them at a later
time. Press the MEMORY button repeatedly until the light indicating the number of the desired memory
lights up. Now press the button continuously for 2 seconds to enter the settings in memory. To retrieve
the settings from a memory location, press the memory button quickly until the desired memory number
lights up. The machine will now run at these settings. Three memories can be set.
SWEEP
This button turns the oscillator on and off. To achieve symmetrical court coverage, ensure that the lower
platter of the machine is aligned with the court. Alignment fins are provided to make this easy (see page
10).
RIVAL AND QUEST
BATTERY CHARGER JACK
Battery-powered Scoops are delivered with a
smart battery charger that mounts in ordinary
wall outlets. It takes about 10 hours to charge
the battery. The charger can stay connected to
the machine for long periods of time but must be
disconnected during play.
REMOTE STORAGE POCKET
A pocket molded into the base of the panel
allows you to keep the remote safely in the
machine when not in use. Get in the habit of
always storing the remote in the pocket.
RESET BUTTON
If the reset button pops during play, check for obstructions of the propulsion wheels. Never use wet balls
and make sure that the chute that leads balls to the propulsion wheels is always clear of balls.
