Safety instructions
Before cleaning the machine make sure that the machine is completely switched off.
Do not use the machine in the rain, barefoot or with wet hands.
Never stand in front of the ball ejector.
The machine should not be operated unsupervised by children.
A small chain is attached below the machine as grounding. This must not be
removed and should touch the ground during operation.
Preparing for operation
First insert one of the supplied 30/A/h fuses. To do this, please unscrew the screw
cap labeled FUSE on the back of the machine, insert the fuse and screw the screw
cap shut.
Please have a look to the two throwing wheels, there might be a fist-sized white
square foam to the right of the lower motor, please remove it by hand. It was placed
there to protect the motor for transport.
Please insert the two supplied batteries into the remote control. Please fully charge
the lithium-ion battery before the very first use.
The battery is located inside the machine. On the back of the machine, you will find a
switch labeled AC (Alternating Current, for plugging into a wall outlet), OFF, and DC
(Direct Current). While the battery is charging, the switch must be in the OFF
position. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and plug the supplied charger
cord into the DC port on the machine - tighten the plug if necessary. There is no
diode lit on the machine. A red diode lights up on the charger.
Once the battery is fully charged, the color of the diode on the charger will change
from red to green. (If the diode is green from the beginning, then MSV has already
charged the battery. It is then no longer necessary to charge it again). The charging
time can be several hours. The charger becomes warm during charging. You can see
what percentage is charged on the display, above the toggle switch. In the graphic:
Battery Level. You should recharge the battery at a level of 20% charge at the latest.
If you want to operate the machine with the battery, the switch must be set to DC. If
you want to operate the machine from the wall socket, the switch must be set to AC.
The supplied power cable, which leads to the power supply unit, must be connected
directly to the machine for this purpose (AC connection).
Balls
We recommend using pressure less balls because they last longer than pressured
balls when using a ball machine. (Pressurized balls lose the gas contained in the ball
due to compression when ejected from the machine).
If possible, do not use brand new balls during the first 10 hours. The printing ink and
wax film on brand new balls can leave a slick film on the rubber coating of the
throwing wheels. This can result in erratic ball throws (e.g., two balls are shot at
once, or ball placement accuracy decreases). New balls can be used after the initial
shot-in period, although it is better to take lightly used balls to reduce the possible
risk of film formation. If no used balls are available, then after the first 10 hours you
should clean the throwing wheels as described in the chapter "Cleaning".
