MACHINE SETUP
Intended Use
This tennis ball machine is intended to be used in a dedicated tennis facility.
For safety reasons, players should stand on the opposite side of the tennis net at a
minimum of 35 feet away from the machine. This tennis ball machine is designed
to throw tennis balls only.
Unpack and Assembly
Remove the machine from the box. Keep the box along with the packing materials
in case the machine needs to be shipped back to the factory.
Assembly:
• Detach the hopper.
• Flip the hopper and reattach by pushing the hopper on to the case knobs,
starting with the front knob (side furthest from handle), then attach the hopper
to the back knob.
• Do not remove the wire deflectors.
• Snap-in pointer
Handle Operation
To raise the handle, simply lift up on the handle. The handle will be locked when it
is in the upright position and the lock buttons have clicked into place. The lock
buttons are located on the outside of each handle hinge. To fold the handle, stand
behind the machine and place hands on each outer side of the handle hinges. Press
the lock buttons on the outside of the handle hinges and push the top of the handle
forward over your machine.
Transporting
The handle is provided to push or pull the machine. The lower part of the handle is
designed to easily go up/down stairs but, it can also wear the metal and cause
premature failure if care is not used. Be aware of steps or rough surfaces that may
bend or damage the underside of the machine.
To prepare the machine for transport in your vehicle, invert the hopper to cover the
machine and fold the handle. The machine weighs approximately 46 lbs and may be
lifted into a vehicle by one or two people. Use the molded handholds on the
underside of the machine to lift and carry the machine.
