The Attack or AttackII is a total practice machine. No special training other than the
complete, careful reading of this manual is required to operate the machine. Many
coaches have broadened and refined their own coaching skills by its use.
ELEVATING AND LOWERING THE MACHINE HEAD
1. Release the locating pin on the sliding tray.
2. Position the throwing head into one of five elevation settings to the required height.
3. Locating pin will snap into place.
INCREASE OR DECREASE SPEED
1. Before turning machine “ON,” turn dials located on the throwing head to the “0” position.
2. Turn on/off switch to “ON.” The wheels will spin slowly. Turn speed control knobs
clockwise to increase speed.
3. Turn the speed control knobs counter-clockwise to decrease speed.
BALL SPIN, BREAK OR MOVEMENT
1. Floater: Both knobs turned to the same setting, making the wheels spin at the
same RPM.
2. Top Spin: Upper wheel turning fast, lower wheel turning slowly. Variations of the ball
spin and break are determined by the wheel speeds.
The throwing wheels must be kept clean to maintain accuracy. Clean the wheels periodically
to control the build-up of dirt.
1. Turn the on/off switch “OFF” and allow the wheels to come to a complete stop. Unplug
machine from electric power.
Dampen a rag with soap and water. Turn the throwing wheel by hand and scrub the wheel
until the build-up is removed. For very heavy build-up, a synthetic scouring pad, such as a
Scotch-Brite
Ketone (M.E.K.) may be required to help loosen the build-up of dirt or ball residue.
EXAMINE THE MACHINE
Examine Attack or AttackII for condition and completeness before every use:
® scouring pad, or medium sandpaper may be used sparingly. Methyl Ethyl
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY
HAZARD
Never attempt to clean the
throwing wheels while they are
turning. Rags or implements

the wheels or performing any
kind of service.
CHEMICAL HAZARD
Methyl Ethyl Ketone (M.E.K)
Read and follow the directions
and safety instructions on the
M.E.K container.
Care, Cleaning & Maintenance
1. Throwing wheels must be tight on the motor shafts. Check that the keyway retaining
bolts are tight.

provided, but do not over-tighten. See Page 8, Schedule 3.
4. Check all casters and bolts of frame once a year for tightness.
FIRE HAZARD
Methyl Ethyl Ketone (M.E.K)
M.E.K. is flammable. Do not
use M.E.K. around a fire or
flame. Do not use M.E.K. near
a running generator or other
1. Turn the throwing wheels “OFF” and unplug the power cord. Remove four bolts
holding the wheel guard to the motor-side wheel guard.
2. Hold the wheel so that it cannot move. Turn the keyway retaining bolt counter-clockwise
using a box end wrench (See Figure 9).
SUGGESTION: If the bolt is too tight, give the opposite end of the wrench a series of light taps with a hammer making sure the wrench remains on the bolt.
3. Remove the bolt and washers.
4. Work the wheel off of the motor shaft. Be sure to catch the key as it is freed from
the keyway.
5. Ball throwing wheels are machine balanced. Small holes in the side of the wheel are
applied at the factory and are normal. A slight wobble is also normal.
