CLEANING THE THROWING WHEELS

- Methyl Ethyl Ketone (M.E.K.), small can*
- Hair dryer or heat gun
Supplies can be purchased at a local paint or hardware store.
*Please follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions when using any chemicals.
Directions for Cleaning:
Estimated time is 10+ minutes per wheel depending on the amount of build-up.
Step One:
Before attempting any kind of service on your machine, always disconnect
unit from power source.
Step Two:
Heat up the ball material build-up on one wheel with a hair dryer or heat gun
on high setting until build-up softens.
Step Three:
With a putty knife, simply loosen and peel off the build-up material.
Step Four:
Wet a rag or paper towel with M.E.K. and wipe the wheel to take off any
remaining build-up. Do not turn machine “On” and have the throwing wheels turning
during this time.
For wheels with excessive build-up, you may need to repeat this process.
EXAMINE THE MACHINE
Examine Strike Attack for condition and completeness before every use:
1. Throwing wheels must be tight on the motor shafts. Check that the four bolts
holding each motor to the throwing head assembly are tight.
2. Wheel guard and ball chute must be securely fastened.
