MACHINE SETUP
Intended Use
Lobster tennis ball machines are intended to be used in a dedicated tennis facility.
For safety reasons, the machine should only be used when players stand on the
opposite side of a tennis net at a minimum of 35 feet away from the machine. This
tennis ball machine is designed to throw tennis balls only.
Unpack and Assembly
Remove the machine from the box. Keep the box along with the packing materials in
case the machine needs to be shipped back to the factory.
Assembly:
• Detach the hopper.
• Flip the hopper and reattach by pushing the hopper on to the case knobs,
starting with the front knob (side furthest from handle), then attach the hopper
to the back knob.
•
Do not remove the wire deflectors.
• Snap-in the elevation level pointer on the front of red base.
Handle Operation
To raise the handle, simply lift up on the handle until you hear the lock buttons click
into place. To fold the handle down, stand behind the machine and place hands on
each of the plastic handle hinges. Simultaneously press up on the hinge lock buttons
and gently push the top section of the handle forward over your machine.
Transporting
The handle is provided to push or pull the machine. The lower part of the handle is
designed to easily go up/down stairs but, it can also wear the metal and cause
premature failure if care is not used. Be aware of steps or rough surfaces that may
bend or damage the underside of the machine.
To prepare the machine for transport in your vehicle, invert the hopper to cover the
machine and fold the handle. The machine weighs approximately 42 lbs and may be
lifted into a vehicle by one or two people. Use the molded handholds on the underside
of the machine to lift and carry the machine.
