Turning the
PowerPong 2000
off and Putting out of Service
1.
Pull the adapter from current when going out from the place where the machine works. Do not let the robot
switched on without control.
2.
If the robot is taken temporarily from the table, then put the adapter, the control box and the extension cord
in the ball holder part, fold the net in middle stage and get down the robot from the table. The robot can be
put away so easily and quickly until the next practice.
Transport
When the robot is to be transported to another place, also the net keeping poles have to be turned until the
first collision. (
Fig. 3)
Turn the hanging poles and the head in the direction of the robot and turn the net keeping poles in totally
upper position.
Transport the robot in such position.
Do not forget to pack the adapter, the control box and the extension cord.
4. Maintenance and Repair
Important
:
Before executing maintenance and repair works, always first unplug from the mains!
−
During the operation of the ball machine, make sure that no small parts (for example hairs, in-
dented balls, etc.) get into the collection net and thus into the machine, because they can lead to ball
jams.
−
The ball shooting discs are very durable (at least 500 hours). Nevertheless, these discs will finally wear
off after intense use. One sign for a worn disc is that the machine releases the balls at irregular lengths at
high speed. This means that the surface of the discs does not have enough grip on the balls. For that rea-
son, the distance of the discs has to be adjusted.
Put the plastic adjusting tube in the release hole found between the discs
(Fig. 13.)
. Loosen first, for ex-
ample, the black imbus “adjusting” screw near the cover- with the bigger allan key found among the ac-
cessories - of he lower motor
(Fig. 14.)
and turn up the motor (gripping its cover) towards the adjusting
tube until the disc touches it.
(Fig. 15.)
Do all this also with the other two motors.
Please note
:
The correct distance is 35-36 mm. This is the diameter of the adjusting tube. The release
mechanism functions perfectly up to a distance of 37-38 mm
.
