USER MANUAL

Section-1: Before Using Machine
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a SPINSHOT tennis ball machine. This
manual contains important information concerning the proper use and
care of your ball machine. Please read owner’s manual completely
before operating your machine.
Tennis Balls To Be Used
Please take note that brand new tennis balls are not recommended to
be used especially during first ten hours of break-in period. The ink and
waxy coating on brand new tennis balls can leave a slick coating on the
new ball throwing wheels, resulting in inconsistent ball throws. It is best
to use balls that are slightly used to reduce the potential for developing
the slick coating on the wheels.
The consistency of ball throws will depend on the consistency of the
tennis balls being used. A mixture of new and old balls will produce
inconsistent throws. Inconsistent ball throws may also be caused by
excess dirt and ink build up on throwing wheels. Cleaning the ball
throwing wheels as described in the section “Maintenance and
Cleaning” will restore consistent performance.
Important Warnings
WARNING: Do not reach or look into the ball exit hole without turning
the main power off and only after both wheels come to a complete stop.
WARNING: Do not stand closer than 10 meters in front of the ball
machine when the power is on.
WARNING: Do not place balls or foreign objects into the ball hopper
while the power is on. It could cause jam and damage the feeder motor.
WARNING: The overloading of balls into the ball hopper may result in a
jam of the feeder. It is suggested that no more than 120 balls be put
inside the ball hopper.
WARNING: Do not use machine while it is raining or in water. Do not
use wet tennis balls.
