CARE, CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Throwing Wheel Motors
Motors are sealed and require no lubrication.
Check bolts for tightness once a season. Tighten bolts securely, but do not over-tighten.
Cleaning the Throwing Wheels
The throwing wheels must be kept clean to maintain accuracy. Clean the wheels
periodically to control the build-up of grass and dirt.
1. Turn the on/off switch “OFF” and allow the wheels to come to a complete stop.
Unplug the Elite from electric power.
2. Dampen a rag with soap and water. Turn the throwing wheel by hand and scrub
the wheel until the build-up is removed. For very heavy build-up, a synthetic
scouring pad, such as a Scotch-Brite
®
scouring pad, may be used sparingly.
Acetone may be required to help loosen the build-up of dirt or ball residue.

Examine e-Hack Attack for condition and completeness before every use:
1. Throwing wheels must be tight on the motor shafts. Check that the keyway
retaining bolts are tight.
2. Wheel guard and ball chute must be securely fastened to the throwing head.
