The charger(s) & AC Adaptor are only to be
used indoors.
Always use and store the machine in a dry
environment.
Do not spray with water.
If the battery charger or AC adaptor is wet,
do not pick it up. If the battery charger or AC
adaptor is picked up when wet, a person could be
exposed to hazardous voltages.
Disconnect the machine from any AC adaptor
or battery before making any repairs.
If any power cables are damaged, cease using
them & arrange a replacement.
Connect any charger or AC adaptor to 110
– 250V mains power outlet installed by a

Practice correct lifting techniques.
The machine weighs up to 24 kg / 54 lbs (2
person lift) with an internal battery or 18 kg / 40
lbs (1 person lift) with an external battery. The
gross weight of the packing box is 29 kg / 64 lbs
(2 person lift).
Keep your machine clean. Contaminants such
as dust & leaves inside your machine could
present a burn hazard. Please vacuum out your
machine from the mouth on a regular basis.
A multi-purpose/dry chemical extinguisher
should be used to extinguish any ames.
The master switch is located at the bottom of
the control panel. This switch should be used to
cut o power to your machine in an emergency.
Set the rocker switch to position “O” which is the
middle selection.
Only use tennis, platform tennis or padel
balls with this machine. Low compression &
pressureless balls are acceptable too, as long
as they are the same size as a standard tennis
ball. Using other balls such as cricket balls will
damage your machine and will not be covered
under warranty.

BEFORE FIRST USE
When you rst open your box, you may notice some cosmetic scratches
on your machine, particularly in the ball carousel pit at the top of the
machine. This is perfectly normal and part of the manufacturing process.
You may also notice some yellow ball u inside your machine or on the
throwing wheels. This is also normal as each machine is tested with balls
as part of our quality control process (wheels are wiped down afterwards,
but it’s dicult to remove all traces of ball u).
There is also a 3 position master power switch at the bottom of the
control panel which is turned o for transport. This will need to be turned
on to the correct power source before you can power on the machine
(please turn this o after each use). The 3 positions are:
ASSEMBLY
To assemble your machine, rst simply remove it from the box. You can
safely pick up the machine using the handles at the top front and top back.
You should nd this manual, a charger or AC adaptor and a remote control
in the box. If you have ordered an external battery, AC adaptor or fast

Packaging
We recommend you keep your box in case you need to ship your ma-
chine back to the supplier at a future point in time.
BATTERY AND CHARGING
Your machine should last between 3-8 hours, depending on the settings
you are using (this assumes you are using the standard 20Ah size).
The machine should arrive to you with some charge in the battery,
however, if you have time, we encourage you to charge the machine
before its rst use.
Internal Battery
If you have an internal battery, simply plug the charger into the charger
jack on the rear of the machine and plug the other end into a wall socket.
Any master switch position will work.
Your battery should be charged at least once per month, even if it has not
been used. This will maintain the life of the battery.

You can attach the hopper either upright for play mode, or upside down
for portability/storage. To attach the hopper, simply align it correctly and
then push down on it until it locks into place.
Hopper upside down for
portability/storage

External Battery
If you’ve ordered your machine with an external battery, you have the
advantage of easily charging the battery separately from the machine
(your machine is also 6 to 7 kg (13 – 15 lbs) lighter than internal sealed
lead acid (SLA) battery machines). Your external battery has two plugs,
one for connecting to the machine (male) and the other is for connecting
to the charger (female). Please do not connect these together and always
disconnect the battery from the machine when not in use. There is no
need to remove the battery from the bag while charging.
Your battery should be
charged at least once per
month, even if it has not
been used. This will
maintain the life of the
battery.
When replacing the
battery, please wear
protective glasses,
clothes & gloves.
Please also use
electrical tape or
similar to cover the
battery terminals after
installation. Do not smoke or keep the battery near a ame source. The
battery is completely sealed, but in the event of damage where acid is
exposed to the skin or eyes, rinse with water and visit your doctor. Avoid
short circuiting the battery so as not to cause a re.
The external battery cable includes a 32V 15A fuse built into it (note: 32V
is correct for our 12V battery). If you are required to replace this, they can
be purchased from local electronic stores or your Spinre distributor. We
also include one spare inside the battery bag’s pocket.

Standard Charger
Your machine comes with a standard charger (unless you purchased an
AC machine) which charges the machine safely in 11 hours (assumes
a 20Ah size battery). This charger is the safest charger to use for your
machine and will provide the longest battery life. It is also a “smart”
charger, meaning it will not damage your battery if left on for long periods
of time.
The charger has a red light when charging and a green light when
charging is complete. If after 11 or more hours, your charger light does
not turn green, please disconnect the charger and turn on your machine.
If the battery bar indicator shows 4 bars, then your machine is charged
and ready to play. You can ignore the light on the charger.
If the charger’s light ashes green, this can indicate that the charger itself
is faulty. However, we recommend you try charging your battery for 24
hours, leaving the green light ashing. If within this 24 hours the green
light stops ashing, you will nd it has restored itself and will function
normally going forward.
Your charger should only be used in a dry environment. As the charger
itself can get hot during charging, we recommend you position the
machine and transformer away from combustible items. This charger is
only suitable for sealed lead acid batteries.
Please note, this charger cannot be used to provide direct power to
the machine. If you wish to run directly o AC, you need to purchase a
separate AC Adaptor.
Optional Fast Charger
The fast charger can charge your machine in 4 hours (instead of 11 with
the standard charger). The fast charger is a “smart” charger, meaning it
will not damage your battery if left on for long periods of time. However,
as a precautionary measure, we recommend you unplug the charger once
charging is complete. If after 4 or more hours, your charger light does not
turn green, please disconnect the charger and turn on your machine. If

the battery bar indicator shows 4 bars, then your machine is charged and
ready to play. You can ignore the light on the charger.
Please note, fast chargers reduce the lives of batteries slightly, so it is
always recommended to use the standard charger unless you have time
constraints.
Your charger should only be used in a dry environment. As the charger
itself can get hot during charging, we recommend you position the
machine and transformer away from combustible items. This charger is
only suitable for sealed lead acid batteries.
Please note, this charger cannot be used to provide direct power to
the machine. If you wish to run directly o AC, you need to purchase a
separate AC Adaptor.
AC ADAPTOR
The AC Adaptor is an optional accessory, but it can be used as your
primary power source (you can order a machine without any internal or
external battery). Simply plug the AC Adaptor into your machine and turn
the master switch to External Battery/AC.
Note, if you do have an internal battery, the AC Adaptor can still be used.
It will not damage the internal battery.
Your AC Adaptor should only be used in a dry environment. The Spinre
AC Adaptor has been tested to work perfectly with our machine and
we do not recommend substituting it with a compatible model. Please
disconnect it from the machine when not in use. If using an extension
cord, please ensure it is a good quality, thick cord, at least 16 gauge.
