Setting up your SPORTSATTACK Elite E-Hack Attack electronic baseball pitching machine correctly is key for optimal performance. Follow these steps to get started:
- Machine Alignment: Begin by positioning the machine to center the pitch in the strike zone. Throw a couple of test pitches to confirm alignment. If you need to adjust the vertical position by more than half its range, reposition the entire machine. For horizontal adjustments, move the machine left or right.
- Adjustable Leg Positions: The Elite model offers three leg positions on the rear leg. Make sure the machine is stable and securely positioned.
- Test Pitch: Once the "Ready to pitch" light turns green, throw at least two test pitches. This is done without a batter present. Fine-tune the alignment to center the pitch within the strike zone, and select "Ready" once you're satisfied with the alignment.
- Main Menu and Standard Pitches: Access the main menu to choose from pre-programmed pitches such as Fastball, Change-up, Heater, Curve Ball (RH and LH), and Sider (RH and LH). Use the UP or DOWN arrows on the SPEED display to adjust the pitch speed.
- Favorite Pitches and Sequences: Customize your pitching experience by saving custom pitches and sequences. You can modify, name, and save your preferred pitches or sequences for easy access in the future.
- Settings and Utilities: Explore the machine's settings to customize various aspects. You can adjust the default pitch settings, select speed measurement units, set the system suspend timeout, adjust the buzzer volume, and choose your preferred language. The utilities section also provides options for password management, machine diagnostics, and software updates.
Following these steps will help you set up your SPORTSATTACK Elite E-Hack Attack pitching machine for effective practice. For more detailed instructions, always refer to the complete manual. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to contact the customer service department.
