SAM SPORT™
POWER
The power entry module is located on back of the ball machine. Unless designated otherwise, the SAM
Sport™ requires 110 Volts. The power on/off switch and fuse are also located on the back of the
machine.
FEED
To activate the ball feed carousel, turn the feed knob clockwise to the desired feed rate. The feed rate
adjustment goes from 1-9 with 1 as the slowest (8 seconds) and 9 the fastest (1.5 seconds).
NOTE: For safety reasons, if no balls have been fired for 20 seconds, the ball feed shuts off
automatically and must be turned on again at the machine by turning the feed knob to off and then
back to desired feed rate.
SPEED
This control adjusts the speed of the balls shot from the machine. There are 10 speed settings. Speed
setting 1 is approximately 20 mph and speed setting 10 is approximately 90 mph. When changing
speeds, allow a few seconds for the throwing wheels to settle to the new speeds.
SPIN
This control is calibrated with 0 as the no spin (flat ball) position, 1 to 5 as the top spin position and -1
to -5 as the back spin positions.
ELEVATION
The elevation position is adjusted manually by the elevation handle on the right side of the machine.
Turn the handle forward (clockwise) to raise the elevation and backwards (counter-clockwise) to lower
the elevation.
