MOTOR / WHEEL POSITION The gap between the wheels is a critical adjustment to maximize pitch speed and accuracy. The optimal distance between wheels depends on the size and compressibility of the ball being used. Softer, more compressible balls require a smaller gap than harder balls do. - Page 6 Figure 6: Typical top motor / wheel positioning for real baseballs.

Profiled blocks are located at bottom position ADJUSTING MACHINE ORIENTATION The machine is positioned using 3 different angle adjustments: horizontal, vertical, and twist.
- Page 8 the twist angle is used to change the direction of ball spin and therefore ball curve. When using the machine for defensive drills, the horizontal and vertical pin joints can be left loose to let the machine swivel freely, but the twist angle should always be locked during use to prevent accidental movement.
- Page 9 Do not loosen the vertical angle clamping knob without a firm grip on either the ball ended aiming handle or the micro adjust knob, or else the machine could rotate unexpectedly under its own weight. The best practice for making small aim adjustments is to loosen the joint just enough that you can adjust the machine with a little effort, but not loosen it enough that it can flop around on its own.
