Once clear of balls, with the help of a flashlight, inspect inside the ball channel and clear out any foreign
objects or dirt. With the ball channel empty, test ball feed to see if the ball stirring mechanism rotates
when Ball/Min knob is turned up. Without any balls in the machine, the ball stirring mechanism should
rotate approximately 11-12 times before it stops automatically. If so, place balls back in machine and
resume normal operations. If not, it is indicative of problems with the Ball Feed Motor and/or the Ball
Feed Mechanism and you should contact your an AMICUS Service Center for further assistance.
Other Maintenance
After a lot of use, the White Strip found on the inside upper surface of the Deflector Plate can wear out
and the machine becomes inaccurate. In such case, without dismounting the Deflector Plate, clean the
White Strip with isopropyl alcohol to remove all dirt.
The rest of the machine needs no maintenance. However, you can remove dirt and dust from the sur-
face of the robot with a moist cloth and a mild, water-based cleaner as necessary.
5. Troubleshooting
Problems
Solutions
1.
Head or Support Legs point
towards net.
A.
Loosen the large Black Knob on the rear of the Ball Tube,
then rotate head 180° so head points away from net. Grasp
Support Legs and rotate them away from net (p. 4).
2.
The robot does not function.
No lights, no sound, no
movement.
A.
Control Panel Cable loose or unattached. Check connection
at Control Panel & Base.
B.
Plug Power Supply into power outlet and connect other end
to power jack on the Base (see Photo 6A, p. 6).
C.
Is green LED on Power Supply lit? If not, check outlet for
power. If power is present, replace Power Supply.
3.
Control Panel LEDs light up,
but no balls are thrown.
A.
Set the Ball/Min knob higher than zero.
B.
If using Remote and Ball/Min is higher than zero, press but-
ton A to start ball delivery.
4.
Balls thrown to wrong
places.
A.
Are there rubber bands around the Deflector Plate and/or is
there a blue foam pad above it? If yes, remove those parts so
Deflector Plate can move freely. Those parts are used only
during transport.
B.
Is Random on? If so, turn off (p. 10).
C.
Unplug all 3 cable connections and then re-plug. Connect
cable to Control Panel last.
D.
Check pins of Head Cable to be sure none are bent or miss-
ing. There are 15 pins.
E.
If robot throws balls further to one side than the other,
Deflector Plate may need to be adjusted or replaced. Consult
an AMICUS service center.
