REPLACING THE BATTERY ON THE LITE
(Service also offered by factory)
The battery on the LITE can be replaced without opening
the machine:
1. Center the oscillator plate with the machine then turn
the machine OFF. Remove the hopper and place the
elevation in the lob position.
2. Looking through the ejection hole, locate the battery on
the lower left and disconnect the red and black wires
from the battery posts. You will need a Philips (cross)
screw driver to unscrew the two screws that secure the
steel battery holder.
3. Rest the machine on its back and locate the two holes in the
oscillator plate. These holes give access to the nuts that
hold the Philips screws in place. You will need needle-nose
pliers, or preferably a nut driver, to hold each nut securely
while unfastening the Philips screws.
4. Remove the steel battery holder carefully (do not short the
battery posts) and extract the battery through the ejection
hole.
5. Note the red and black battery posts on the new battery.
After inserting the battery and securing it with the fastened
steel battery holder, connect the red wire to the red battery
post and the black wire to the black post (do not reverse
polarity!)
REPLACING THE BATTERY ON THE
SPORT STAR
Because of its larger size, the battery on the STAR
cannot be removed through the ejection hole. The
procedure for opening the machine and replacing
the battery is described at
www.sptennis.com/service.
ACCESSING THE CIRCUIT BOARD
All the electronics of the Silent Partner are
mounted on the control panel. You do not need to
open the machine to get to the circuit board.
Under factory guidance, follow these steps:
1. Remove the four screws that hold the
panel in place.
2. Slide the panel down into the machine a
third of the way.
3. Tilt the top of the panel towards you and
lift it away from the machine (all wires
remain connected during this operation).
