1. Insert the two front legs into the front sockets in the undercarriage
(
Note
: the front legs also have locking push buttons).
2. See Figure 2 on page 4.
Walk around to the front of Crick Attack, and, with your back to home plate, reach
down and grasp the wheel guards. Then, lift Crick Attack up and over the front legs
and set it gently onto the rear leg.
3. Position Crick Attack:
a. To approximate the release point of a live bowler, position Crick Attack
so that the rear leg is level with the stumps (TBC).
b. Then, sight down ball chute. Move the swing control right or left to adjust
machine so that it is pointing directly at home plate.
c. Check the horizontal swivel lock to make sure it remains tight.
4. Unlock the travel lock. Turn the handle of the elevation control counter-clockwise
until the bar of the travel lock snaps back out of the way.
5. Adjust the throwing head:
a. Turn the handle of the elevation control clockwise. Raise the throwing head
until it will throw somewhere near the required height.
b. This initial adjustment will come through experience. To start, turn the
elevation adjustment 10 turns clockwise.
6. Examine Crick Attack for condition and completeness:
a. Be sure the horizontal swivel lock is secured.
b. Throwing wheels must be tight on the motor shafts. Check that the keyway
retaining bolts are tight.
c. Wheel guard and ball chute must be securely fastened to the throwing head.
7. Be certain on/off switch is turned “OFF”, then plug Crick Attack into an extension
cord or other power source. (See generator information at right if applicable.)
