The more common statements regarding Feedback or
over current error messages are…
“My machine stopped working and the screen
says Over Current error.”
“My machine says Over Current Sweep
Error.”
“My Machine says Over Current Elevation
Error.”
The most common reason for these error messages
are:
A wire on the sensor harness has become un-
plugged or damaged. A sensor disc needs to be
rotated.
A ball has made its way back into the machine
and rattled inside the machine enough to
dislodge a wire or sensor.
The machine needs to be cleaned out from any
ball fuzz, debris or dirt that may cause
interference with the sensors.

I have an Over-Current Sweep motor Error Message on my Phenom Machine.
Trouble Shooting Instructions
1
Checking for balls within the inside base of the
unit. MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS TURNED OFF.
1. Reach inside to the right side of the unit near the
sweep motor and feel around for any tennis
balls.
2. Reach inside to the left careful as to not pull or
yank any of the fragile cables. If a ball is found
remove it carefully as it may be tangled within
other wires.
3. Removing the control board will provide another
angle from the rear to check for balls. To do this
simply remove the 4 black screws holding in the
control board. Gently pull the board out carefully
and allow the board to hang from the wires to
get a good look inside.
2
Cleaning Debris From The Machine that may cause
miscommunication between the sensors.
1. Using a vacuum with hose extension, move
around the Platform rim removing all the
ball fuzz and debris. BE SURE NOT TO
VACUUM UP ANY WIRES!
2. If available use an air compressor to blow
out the machine especially around the
motors and control board area. If an air
compressor is not available then a can of
keyboard cleaner (compressed air) will also
do the trick.
3. Some ball fuzz and or natural debris will be
so thick that it will require a hand or 2 to
remove from the machine.
If these steps do not fix the issue proceed to the next
step.
3
Checking the Timing Discs

I have an Over-Current Sweep motor Error Message on my Phenom Machine.
Trouble Shooting Instructions
1. Just above the Snap-In sensor, and little bit to
the right of it, there is a disc mounted on-top of
the motor. This is known as the Timing Disc.
Sometimes the motor can seize up, and the disc
can become “stuck” in place. This is generally
fixed with the help of your index finger.
2. Use you index finger to rotate the Timing Disc
clockwise, and then counter clockwise (The
discs should be rotated approximately 5 to 6
times each way).
If the Timing Disc does not move, you are applying
firm pressure or the disc feels like it is winding and
shooting back in the opposite direction, then the
motor may be broken. Contact Lobster Sports

ext.14 for a Repair or Warranty Repair Return
Authorization.
