panel must be covered for the warranty to be valid.
•Place the ramp on a firm and level surface. The distance between the next tee should
not be less then 3 meters (10 ft.).
•Remove the sheets (below the mats), unscrew the bolts (17 pieces).
•Mount the hitting platform to the stance platform with the supplied M10x35 bolts (3
pieces).
•Attach the feed unit to the hitting platform by using M6x30 bolts (3 pieces), from inside of
the platform (remove the middle sheet below grass to reach from inside)
•Connect the feed unitʼs electrical plug to the tee mechanism as shown on the following
figures.
"" " "
•Connect the feed unit plug (A) to the platform plug (B)

4.1 Operation of Tee-Up with Feed Unit
•Collect a bucket of balls from the ball dispenser or storage bin.
•Pour the balls into the feed unit which holds a maximum of 100 balls. If no ball comes
out, place a ball on the tee to start.
•Place a club head against the + or - sensor to adjust the ball height, up or down. The
desired tee height is achieved by resting the club head on the sensors.
•Hit the ball.
•Next ball will be fed to the tee and raised to the same tee height as the previous ball
(until all balls have been hit).

5.4 Troubleshooting and Repairs
5.4.1 General
Even though the unit is reliable failures do occur for various reasons. Start troubleshooting
by deciding whether a fault is mechanical or electrical.
5.4.2 Troubleshooting and Repairs
Type of fault
Symptoms
Checks/Repairs
Mechanical failures can in most case
changes in moving parts caused by
ses be detected by observing
y e.g. wear and tear or damage.
Check that no balls are stuck in
the tube system inside the feed
unit. Remove worn, damaged
and dirty balls. Check for leaf and
other dirt in the feeder outlet
tube.
The feed unit works but no balls
are delivered.
Check that the supply voltage
does not vary.
Check that the mixer wheel is
undamaged.
A ball has been caught under the
ramp blocking the tee movement.
Remove the ball.
Mechanical failure
The tee stops in the lower detent
position.
Check that the adjusting spring
on the tee arm is not too tightly
tensioned.
The ball doesn't remain on the
tee or the tee comes loose.
Check that the tee is
undamaged. If necessary replace
the tee.
The tee height can not be
adjusted.
Check that the sensors detect the
club head. Check that the
sensors are clean from dust and
dirt.
The ball stops on the mat before
the tee.
The feed unit must be inclined
forward. Adjust the foot on the
back side for more inclination.

Type of fault
Symptoms
Checks/Repairs
Electrical failures are usually identifie
different measuring points. This allo
certain function or component, conn
fied by checking the voltage at
ows you to locate the fault to a
nection or cable.
Check that the teeing machine is
on level ground.
Th f d it d t st rt
Check that the supply voltage
does not vary.
Electrical failure
The feed unit does not start.
Check that the machine is
connected to the mains and that
all fuses are intact.
Check that that all the cables and
contacts are intact and properly
tightened.
5.4.3 Replacing of the rubber tee
"
Sink the tee to the lowest level. There must be a ball on the tee to do it.
•Take away the ball
•Insert a cross-headed screwdriver inside the tee and screw off the tee.
•Now the tee is loose and can be removed.
•Replace the old, damaged tee with the new one.
•Reverse the procedure to fasten the new tee.
•Pull the tee (by hand) to make sure it is mounted correctly.
•Place a ball on the tee.
• Raise the tee from the lowest position. Now the the tee-up is ready to use.
13

5.4.4 Replacing or adjusting of the adjustment spring for the tee balance
•Disconnect the power supply.
•Remove the tee mats and the sheet (sheet below grass).
•Loose the lock-nut using box wrench 19mm and allen key 6mm.
•The bolt can now be adjusted so that the tee goes down when the ball is on and goes up
when there is no ball.
•Adjust the spring until you have a balance on the arm/tee with ball and without. Check
that it is good balance even if you put on the ball slowly.
•Reverse the procedure to lock the bolt / nut.
14

•Connect the power supply and check the function.
• Mount the sheet and mats.
15

5.4.5 Replacing or adjusting of the inductive sensor
•Disconnect the power supply.
•Remove the tee mat and the sheet (sheet below grass), unscrew the bolts.
•The sensor stops the arm when going down by sensing the screw cap mounted on the
motor axis.
•If the sensor is damaged or the distance between the sensor and the screw cap
increases 2mm, it would not work and the arm can not find the home (down) position.
Resolve the problem as following:
•Remove the cover of the control box. Loose the nuts holding the sensor, adjust the
distance between the sensor head and screw to approx. 0.5-1mm.
16

• Connect the power supply and check the function.
•If necessary, replace the sensor (Part No TCA0010).
•Mount the cover, sheets, mats.
5.4.6 Replacing the tee mat
To replace the Range mat lift the mat from the stance platform and replace it with the new
one.
When replacing the Hitting mat it is the same as above, except that the mat needs be
adjusted so it falls into place. The Hitting mat should not be easily movable.
17
Lift the mat from the stance platform.
