Installing the ball tray assembly for the Team Feeder on the Hack Attack and Junior Hack Attack Baseball and Softball Pitching Machines.

MATERIAL

1. Taking the bracket and the two (2) mounting bolts (See Figure 6), select the proper alignment holes on the bracket for baseball or softball (See Figure 7).
   IMPORTANT Make sure the bracket is attached with the rubber tube facing up (See Figure 8 on page 8).

2. Using the ½ inch wrenches or ratchet, attach the bracket to the team feeder (See Figure 6 below). The Team Feeder is now ready to attach to your pitching machine.

3. Line the team feeder up directly behind the pitching machine, leaving enough space between the chute and the bracket to allow for the tray that will carry the balls to the machine.

4. Attach the flexible stem socket to the flexible stem (See Figure 8), being sure the flexible stem inserts fully into the flexible stem socket. The ball tray assembly is now fully assembled and ready to use.

Team Ball Feeder Operation

REMOTE ON/OFF/MANUAL ON SWITCH

1. This switch starts and stops the Team Ball Feeder, which also turns the warning light “ON” and “OFF.”

2. Have pitching machine turned on with the wheels turning fast enough to deliver
   a ball so that the first ball from the feeder does not jam in the pitching machine.

3. NEW 3-POSITION POWER SWITCH
   Turning the switch to “Remote On” allows you to turn the feeder “ON” and “OFF” using the remote only. Turning the switch to “Manual On” turns power on and disables remote access. The “Power” light and the “Safety Warning Light” (facing hitter) indicate the feeder power is “ON” and the unit is dispensing balls.

HITTER’S SAFETY WARNING LIGHT

1. Any time the hitter’s safety warning light is on or the Team Ball Feeder is turning,
   • a pitch could be delivered.
2. Care must be taken as the Team Ball Feeder might skip a pitch or deliver a pitch after skipping a pitch near the end of the supply of balls, causing it to appear that no more balls remain to be pitched. One or more balls may have been so distributed in the Team Ball Feeder that a pitch is skipped, causing the hitter to think that the Team Ball Feeder is empty. Be ready at all times.

GENERAL OPERATION

1. Do not mix different types of balls.
2. ALWAYS use the protective screen to protect Team Feeder from batted balls and line drives or void warranty.

CAUTION

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

Team Ball Feeder should be used under adult supervision only! The on/off switch is intentionally located out of reach of children.

• Use of the softball feeder on a machine set up for baseball could result in equipment damage and/or personal injury.•
• Any time the hitter’s warning light is “ON” or the Team Ball Feeder is turning, a pitch may be delivered. Be alert at all times.
