The first time you use this machine, take it from storage, adjust the timer or change the spring, make sure to follow these directions to Test Load the Poptoss.

 

1. Place the Bat Knob on the Anglar and steadily push down the Ball Striker until it bottoms out in the Chamber. (Keep the bat on the same angle as the Poptoss is sitting.)

* Do Not remove the Bat during “Test Loading”.

 

2. Make sure to place your hand on the top of the end of the bat while keeping the Knob in the Chamber. Just hold the bat in the machine (gently making contact with the Anglar) do not continue to push down on the Ball Striker. You will feel the Ball Striker pushing up on the bat. 

* Always keep the Bat and the machine pointed away from people and faces.

 

3. Count off how many seconds it takes for the Ball Striker to Pop up while maintaining a firm grasp on the bat end (The machine has enough power to pop the bat up). This is your count off time. This can be adjusted by using the Timer Knob located on the Base of the machine. 1/4 or 1/2 turn Clockwise for more count off time and a 1/4 or 1/2 turn Counter-Clockwise for less count off time.

Repeat as necessary to get the count off time where you want it.
