Preparation for operation
Please fully charge the lithium-ion battery before using it for the very first time.
The battery is located inside the machine. On the back of the machine you will find
a switch labeled AC ( Alternating Current), OFF and DC(Direct Current). While the
battery is charging, the switch must be in the OFF position. Connect the power
cable to the AC adapter and plug the supplied cable of the charger into the DC
connector of the machine - screw the connector tightly if necessary.
A red diode on the back of the charger lights up during charging. As soon as the
battery is fully charged, this diode lights up green. (If the diode lights green from
the start, MSV has already charged the battery. It is then no longer necessary to
charge it again). The charging time can take several hours. The charger gets warm
during charging.
If you want to operate the machine with the battery, the switch must be set to DC.
If you want to operate the machine via the power outlet, the switch must be set to
AC. The supplied power cable that leads to the power supply unit must be
connected directly to the machine (AC connection).
Behind the screw cap marked FUSE there is a 15A/h glass fuse, two of which are
included in the delivery - an intact fuse must be inserted for correct operation.
Balls
If possible, do not use completely new balls during the first 10 hours. The printer
ink and wax film on brand new balls can leave a smooth film on the rubber coating
of the throwing wheels. This can lead to irregular ball throws (e.g. two balls are
thrown at once, or the accuracy of the ball placement decreases). New balls can
be used after the initial shooting time, although it is better to use lightly used balls
to reduce the potential risk of film formation. If no used balls are available, then
after the first 10 hours you should clean the throwing wheels as described in the
chapter "Cleaning".
The uniformity of the throws depends on the homogeneity of the balls you use.
The machine will throw slightly used balls faster than old worn balls. A mixture of
old and new balls should therefore be avoided.
Irregular throws can also be caused by a lot of dirt and ink on the rubber coating.
In such a case clean the throwing wheels as described in the chapter "Cleaning".
Please do not use wet balls!
