2. Turn on/off switch to “ON.” The wheels will spin slowly. Turn speed control knobs clockwise to increase speed.
3. Turn the speed control knobs counter-clockwise to decrease speed.

BALL SPIN, BREAK OR MOVEMENT

1. Floater: All 3 knobs turned to the same setting, making the wheels spin at the same RPM.
2. Top Spin: 2 upper wheels turning fast, lower wheel turning slowly. Variations of the ball spin and break are determined by the wheel speeds.
3. Breaking: Refer to speed chart on machine

HORIZONTAL CONTROL

1. Loosen to vary direction.
2. Tighten for repeatability.

WARNING PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Never reach down near throwing wheels for any reason! Always turn all three speed control dials “OFF”, turn the on/off switch “OFF”, unplug Total Attack from the power source and wait until the throwing wheels have come to a complete stop before reaching hands or fingers anywhere near throwing wheels.

Dampen a rag with soap and water. Turn the throwing wheel by hand and scrub the wheel until the build-up is removed. For very heavy build-up, a synthetic scouring pad, such as a Scotch-Brite® scouring pad, or medium sandpaper may be used sparingly. Methyl Ethyl Ketone (M.E.K.) may be required to help loosen the build-up of dirt or ball residue.Dampen a rag with soap and water.

COMPONENT REPLACEMENT

THROWING WHEEL REPLACEMENT

1. Turn the throwing wheels “OFF” and unplug the power cord. Remove four bolts holding the wheel guard to the motor-side wheel guard.

2. Hold the wheel so that it cannot move. Turn the keyway retaining bolt counter- clockwise using a box end wrench (See Figure 9).
   
   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 also 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 before turning the unit “ON”.
e. Be sure the wheel guard is properly and securely reinstalled.

NOTE: Check bolts for tightness once a season. Tighten bolts securely, but do not over-tighten.

MOTOR REPLACEMENT

1. Turn the on/off switch “OFF” and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the throwing wheel (see above) and two wheel guards.
3. Remove four screws holding controller into main electrical box. Note the position of the motor wires on the controller, then disconnect the wires. See Page 14. 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 bolts holding the motor to the main frame.

Reassemble in reverse order.

NOTE: Check bolts for tightness once a season. Tighten bolts securely, but do not over-tighten.

Figure 9

2. Remove the four screws holding controller faceplate. Note the position of the main power and motor wires on the controller, then disconnect the wires.

Reassemble in reverse order.

a. Be sure wires are correctly reinstalled. Motor wire connectors are different sizes.
Be sure they are installed on the correct size terminal.
b. When attaching the knobs, turn the speed control shafts fully counter- clockwise, then install the knobs with the pointer to “0.”
