COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
THROWING WHEEL REPLACEMENT
1. Turn the on/off switch “OFF” and unplug the power cord. For the bottom throwing
wheel, remove three (3) bolts holding the ball chute to the main casting.
2. Hold the wheel so that it cannot move. Turn the keyway retaining bolt
counter-clockwise using a box-end wrench.
SUGGESTION: If the bolt is too tight, give the opposite end of the wrench a series of
light taps with a hammer making sure the wrench remains on the bolt.
3. Remove the bolt and washers.
4. Work the wheel off of the motor shaft. Be sure to catch the key as it is freed from
the keyway.
5. Ball throwing wheels are machine balanced. Small holes in the side of the wheel are
applied at the factory and are normal. A slight wobble is normal.
Reassemble in reverse order.
a. Install wheel to motor shaft with key slots aligned.
b. Be sure the key is in place, and inserted so that it is flush with the boss at the
wheel center.
c. Be sure the washer and lock washer are installed in the right order, and that the
keyway retaining bolt is tightened.
d. Test the wheel by spinning it by hand and making sure that it spins freely without
excessive wobble before turning the unit “ON”.
e. Be sure the wheel guard is properly and securely reinstalled.
1. Turn the on/off switch “OFF” and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the throwing wheel (see above).
3. Remove four (4) screws holding controller into main casting. Note the position of the
motor wires on the controller, then disconnect the wires. See Figure 12 on page 12.
When connecting the female plugs onto the male spades on the circuit board, check that
all female connectors connect securly. If they are loose, use pliers to close the female
connectors. So they will fit securly.
4. Note the routing of the motor wires. Loosen any wire clamps.
5. Remove four (4) bolts holding the motor to the main casting. See Figures 9 & 10 on
page 11.
Reassemble in reverse order.
