4.
The detent/hose combo is now free from the machine and all its plastic parts. Remove the electrician’s tape
that attaches the detent (D, silver cylinder) to the rubber detent hose (a black corrugated hose). Pull out the
detent. Slide the detent about one inch into the new hose. Make sure the little “L” shaped notch is facing up
and out; this is the notch that the shot selectors will lock into. Tape them together with electrician’s tape for a
snug fit. Do not cover the bleed hole. Also you must never adjust the breeze clamp (hose clamp) on the new
detent that is tightened around the silver detent. This will break the inside seal of the detent, it will then leak air
and your tennis balls will not shoot out.
5.
With the detent and hose attached together, put the open end of the hose back onto the machine and tighten it
on with the original breeze clamp that you took off before.
6.
Attach the yoke (H) with the bolts on the top and the bottom. The top screw attaches just below the muffler
foam (J). The yoke should be surrounding the detent hose now.
7.
Attach the channel to the yoke with two Allen shoulder bolts (G), one on each side. The detent should now be
lying in the channel.
8.
Push the detent back a little and slide the channel ring onto the channel. Next slide the detent into the channel
ring making sure the little “L-shaped-notch” is facing up on the other end of the channel ring, and sticks out
about an inch.
101/201: Detent
Tools Needed: Wrench, Electrician’s Tape
Warning:
Never adjust the detent hose clamp on the new detent. This will damage the new detent.
1.
Loosen screws on top of the front clamp (A1) that secures the detent (D). Remove top half of the front clamp.
2.
Lift the detent up a little so you can get to it. Remove the black electrician’s tape and pull the detent out.
Insert the new detent (rubber side in) with the “L” shaped notch facing up about one inch in depth.
3.
Tape the detent and detent hose with electrician’s tape. Do not cover bleed hole.
4.
Place top half of the front clamp on and tighten screws.
Chain (401/301)
Tools Needed: Flat Head Screwdriver
1.
Enclosed with the new chain (C), is an extender. Snap this extender to the last ball of the remaining chain on
the machine. If the extender is too tight, widen the opening with a flat head screwdriver.
2.
If the chain is broken off at the end of the cam, you must replace the entire cam assembly.
Vertical Cam Assembly (401/301)
Tools Needed: Allen wrench
(1/8)
1.
To remove the cam assembly find the chain (C) that attaches to the cam and unscrew the two Allen screws
located inside the cam with a 1/8 Allen wrench. Save these screws.
2.
Once unscrewed, the cam assembly will slide off the motor shaft.
3.
Replace with new cam assembly.
4.
Reinsert and tighten screws.
Rotor
Tools Needed: Long Flat Head Screwdriver, Pliers
1.
The bolt that attaches the rotor (X) to its base must be removed. To find it, look for a hole in the back of the
white hopper (R); on a Ball Bucket the hole will be located underneath the handle. Stick a long screwdriver
through this hole. With a pair of pliers hold the nut still while you unscrew the screw. If pliers don’t work, try
wedging a screwdriver between one flat edge of the nut and the rotor preventing the nut from moving while you
unscrew. Remove the rotor and replace it with the new one. You must make sure the hole in the rotor lines up
with the hole in the motor shaft. It is possible for the screw to fall out and the rotor to stay on but spin freely.
If this occurs and the rotor is in good shape, order a screw and bolt from Lobster Sports 800-526-4041.
2.
Insert screw and tighten nut.
