Set-up & Preparation
SET-UP & PREPARATION
1. Install the rear leg (NOTE: the leg has a push button, which locks the leg into the
socket). Roll Hack Attack onto the mound approximately four feet in front of the rubber.
2. Be sure the horizontal swivel lock is tightened securely.
3. Tilt Hack Attack forward until it rests on the throwing wheel guard.
4. Insert the two front legs into the front sockets in the undercarriage (NOTE: the front
legs also have locking push buttons).
5. See Figure 2 on page 4.
Walk around to the front of Hack Attack, and, with your back to home plate, reach
down and grasp the wheel guards. Then, lift Hack Attack up and over the front legs
and set it gently onto the rear leg.
6. Position Hack Attack:
a. To approximate the release point of a live pitcher, position Hack Attack so that the
rear leg is just in front of the rubber.
b. Then, sight down ball chute. Move the rear leg right or left to adjust machine so
that it is pointing directly at home plate.
c. Check the horizontal swivel lock to make sure it remains tight.
7. Unlock the travel lock. Turn the handle of the elevation control counter-clockwise
until the bar of the travel lock snaps back out of the way.
8. Adjust the throwing head:
a. Turn the handle of the elevation control clockwise. Raise the throwing head until
it will throw somewhere near the required height.
b. This initial adjustment will come through experience. To start, turn the elevation
adjustment 10 turns clockwise.
9. Examine Hack Attack for condition and completeness:
a. Be sure the horizontal swivel lock is secured.
b. Throwing wheels must be tight on the motor shafts. Check that the keyway retaining
bolts are tight.
c. Wheel guard and ball chute must be securely fastened to the throwing head.
10. Be certain on/off switch is turned “OFF”, then plug Hack Attack into an extension
cord or other power source. (See generator information at right if applicable.)
