and remove the Base T-Clamp which will allow you to turn the pitching
machine freely from side-to-side.

Grounders (figure 8)
Position the wheels so they point downward. The greater the downward angle,
the bigger the hop will be on the ground ball.
flyballs and Pop-ups (figure 9)
Position the wheels pointing upward. The greater the upward angle, the
steeper the angle of the flyball or the pop-up will be. For best results, loosen
the ball chute lock knob and remove the ball chute. This will then allow you to
“push” the ball into the sleeve.
The angle of the flyball, the pop-up, or the grounder, can be adjusted by
loosening the handle bar lock knob (power off) and changing the angle of
the wheels. Different spins can be put on the ball by changing the speed dial
settings.
WARNING: Keep hands and fingers away from tires and tire side edges
of ball chute. When throwing pop-ups, the operator must
wear a catcher’s mask. When finished throwing flyballs and
pop-ups, always reconnect the ball chute and tighten the ball
chute lock knob.
