Capacity: 120 PCS of 40MM-ball.
The robot and the remote control should be protected from strong vibrations and getting wet. Failure
to do so may cause a short circuit resulting in damage to the electrical components.
After a period of use there will be wear and tear on the spin wheels causing slower serving speeds
than usual. Adjust the distance between the two wheels to resume the effectiveness of the serves.
Please see P.11 for further detail.
After use for 1 to 2 months dust and dirt may gather in the ball running track. Clean the ball running
track with a wet cloth.
When the robot is not in use for a long period of time please disconnect the power supply and cover
the robot with cloth or a plastic bag.
Note: Nothing other than table tennis balls should
be placed in the dish. Otherwise it may cause robot
failure or damage to the parts.

Ⅶ. Correcting Irregular Serves
When the guiding board of the serving head receives external interference such as
strong contact by returned balls or by hands the serves may land irregularly. Power off
the robot and restart after 10 seconds. The robot will automatically correct the problem
and resume its previous setting.

(1) Adjustment of Spin Wheel
After a period of use there will be wear and tear on the spin wheels causing slower serving
speeds than usual. Adjust the distance between the two wheels to resume the effectiveness of the
serves.
Note: Within a range of wear and tear serves still work properly through the above adjustment. It
is recommended that the wheel should be replaced when the diameter of the wheel is reduced to
70mm due to wear and tear.

Adjustment and Replacement of Spin Wheel
Disconnect the power supply. Remove the
wheel cover of the Under spin wheel by
using the screwdriver to unscrew the 3
screws of the cover.
Use the allen wrench to remove the Under
spin wheel. While removing the wheel, make
sure the small blocking sleeve that separates
the wheel and the motor is still on the axis of
the motor ( See picture 1). Install the new
wheel onto the axis of the motor. Use the
allen wrench to tighten the screw of the
wheel (See picture 2). Loosen the 2 motor
screws to adjust the distance between the 2
wheels to about 36.5-37mm in which the
gauge for standard distance between wheels
can perfectly fit. Tighten the screws.
Reinstall the wheel cover of the Under spin
wheel and the replacement is completed.
Repeat the three steps above if the Top spin
wheel needs to be replaced.

. Storage
The robot is easy to disassemble. It
can be stored almost anywhere
because of its small size. To remove,
first disconnect the power supply. Pull
out both the upper side net rods and
insert into the two holes at the back of
the robot. Fold back the supporting
unit and both trays. Put the robot in
the backpack.
A ball getting stuck is mainly attributable to damaged balls or other items that may be
blocking the ball running track. If the problem occurs, disconnect the power supply and
follow the procedures as below to correct:
Remove all the balls in the dish.
Remove the screw by turning
counter-clockwise.
Where the
ball gets stuck
While using fingers to push and release
the lock, pull and lift the main cover.
Remove the stuck ball or object.
