BEFORE FIRST USE

To protect the machine in transport, the internal pivot plate may have been

secured to prevent it from moving. Please remove any cable ties or bolts prior to

turning the machine on. You can locate these by following the ribbon tied to the

transport handle back to its location. If there is no ribbon, then these may have

been removed by the distributor on your behalf.

There is also a master power switch under the machine which is turned off for

transport. This will need to be turned on before you can power on the machine.

ASSEMBLY

To assemble your machine, first simply remove it from the box. To do this, start

by removing the hopper, followed by the machine. You can safely pick up the

machine by placing one hand inside the mouth at the front and using the handle

located at the rear of the machine above the control panel.

You should find this manual, a charger, remote and the carousel in the box. The

carousel is the white 5 fingered device which stirs the balls when they are sitting

in the hopper. You need to attach this to the top of the machine on the rod,

noting the flat side of the rod needs to align with the hole in the carousel. If you

cannot insert the carousel due to an obstruction, you may need to turn the

machine on and rotate the rod to find a suitable location to attach the carousel.

You can do this by pressing the Feed Start/Pause button. It is also possible

that the carousel may already be attached when you receive your machine, so

nothing will need to be done.

You can attach the hopper either upright for play mode, or upside down for

portability/storage (note you can remove the carousel too if you need to). To

attach the hopper, simply align it correctly and then push down on it until it

locks into place.

Hopper upside down for portability/storage

Packaging

We recommend you keep your box in case you need to ship your machine back

to the supplier at a future point in time.

CHARGING

The machine should arrive to you fully charged, however, if you have time, we

encourage you to charge the machine before its first use. To charge the

machine, simply plug the charger into the charger jack on the rear of the

machine (swivel the jack cover to expose it) and plug the other end into a wall

socket. There is a light on the charger which will be red when charging and

green when complete. Make sure that the machine you have purchased has a

charger which is suitable for your country’s power voltage.

Your machine should be charged at least once per month, even if it has not

been used. This will increase the life of the battery.

Standard Charger

Your machine comes with a standard charger which charges the machine safely

in 11 hours. This charger is the safest charger to use for your machine and will

provide the longest battery life. It is also a “smart” charger, meaning it will not

damage your battery if left on for long periods of time. However, as a

precautionary measure, we recommend you unplug the charger once charging

is complete.

Optional Fast Charger

The fast charger can charge your machine in 4 hours and also has the added

benefit of allowing you to plug the machine in while playing with it on court. This

means you will have unlimited play time while using your machine and is very

similar to running your machine off AC. Please note though that the battery must

have at least a small amount of charge in it before plugging in the fast charger if

you wish to use it while playing with the machine. The fast charger will not be

able to give you extra time if plugged in when the battery is completely flat.

Whilst this charger can charge your machine much faster than the standard

charger, it cannot be left on for more than 24 hours without damaging your

battery. Always remove this charger once the machine is charged and never

leave it on for more than 24 hours.

CUSTOMER CARE

Caution

This machine was designed to be used on a tennis court and in no other

circumstances. Only tennis balls must be used, no other balls should be ejected

from the machine. Never stand in front of the machine unless you are on the

other side of the net (more than 7 metres (8 yards) away). Even when the

machine is paused, never stand in front of it as balls can eject at any time.

Children should be supervised at all times and taught never to stand in front of

the machine.

Do not use the machine in rain and avoid using wet balls. We recommend the

use of pressureless balls to give your machine the best performance. Using a

combination of new and old balls will give inconsistent results.

Maintenance

You can vacuum out the inside of your machine to remove ball fluff. The outside

of the machine can be wiped down with a mild detergent, however, please be

careful not to get water inside the machine. The throwing wheels should be

wiped down after every use to prevent any buildup of residue from the balls.

Storage

We recommend that your machine is stored inside/under cover and preferably in

a Spinfire cover to protect it from debris. Do not leave your machine on court

even with the protection of a cover as heavy rain may damage your machine.

TRANSPORTATION

To transport the machine, simply slide out the handle at the front of the machine

(underneath). Lift the machine by the handle until it rests on the rear wheels.

Make sure that the machine is tilted enough not to drag the bottom of the

machine. Simply pull the machine to your destination. Never move the machine

while it is on.

Page 5 Manual Revision 2.7.2

To transport in your car, you may need to remove the carousel. The machine

can lie on its side, although wherever possible we recommend storing it upright.

The machine weighs 24kgs (50lbs) and should be lifted carefully with the use of

the handles. We recommend removing the hopper before lifting the machine and

gripping it by the top of the mouth and the handle at the rear (above the control

panel).

To assist with transporting your machine, you can purchase a Spinfire Carry

Case which has handles and pockets for storing your charger, remote control

and accessories.

USAGE

The machine should be placed on the baseline of the court, preferably in the

centre, however you can place it in varying locations if you wish (note features

like oscillation may not work as well when the machine is not positioned in the

centre).

Page 6 Manual Revision 2.7.2

CONTROL PANEL

Power: Press this button to start the machine (hold it for 3

seconds). Please note that there is a main power

switch underneath the machine. Please make sure

this is on before operating your machine. The main

power switch should be switched off when

transporting or storing the machine.

Menu: To adjust the interval, ball speed, or spin you need

to press the menu button. Once pressed, a menu

option will begin to flash (it will stop flashing after 30

seconds if no selection is made). You can move

between the 3 top menu items by using the up and

down buttons. You can adjust the settings of each

item by pressing the left and right buttons. Note:

you cannot adjust the elevation from within the

menu. Once you have finished making your

adjustments, press the menu button again to

complete your selection.

Interval:

This sets how often the balls are ejected from the

machine. It can be adjusted from 0 – 20 with 20

being the fastest (approximately 1 ball every 2-3

seconds). The maximum interval during the “2 line

drill - wide” setting is 15. Note that the balls will not

Page 7 Manual Revision 2.7.2

start ejecting from the machine until you press the

feed (start/stop) button.

Ball Speed:

This sets the speed at which the balls are propelled.

It can be set from 0 – 20 with 20 being the fastest

speed (approximately 80mph or 130km/h).

Spin: Using this setting, you can add topspin or slice to

each ball. It can be set from -10 to +10. When set to

-10 you will achieve the highest level of slice. When

set to 0 you will have flat balls while +10 represents

the highest level of topspin. You can also set mild

levels of spin.

Elevation:

By pressing the up and down buttons you can

adjust the level of elevation. It can be set from 0 –

200 with the highest elevation being 200 (use this

setting for lobs). Note: you can only adjust the

elevation when the menu is not flashing.

Horizontal Angle: You can vary the horizontal angle that balls are

ejected to by pressing the left and right buttons.

Note: you can only adjust the horizontal angle when

the menu is not flashing.

Feed start/stop:

This allows you to start and stop the feeding of balls

from the machine.

ertical Oscillation:

Once pressed, the machine will internally oscillate

up and down approximately 4 degrees causing the

depth of each ball to vary. Press this button again to

cancel the vertical oscillation.

Horizontal Oscillation:

Once pressed, the machine will internally oscillate

from side to side in its wide setting, firing balls to

any horizontal angle on the court randomly (within

the singles lines). Press this button a second time to

enter the medium setting which provides the same

random feature with less width (making it easier).

Press this button a 3rd time to cancel the horizontal

oscillation and the machine will automatically return

to the centre of the court. Once you press this

button, a message will display on the LCD to let you

know whether you are in wide, medium or off

mode.

2 Line Drill:

By pressing this button once you will enter the 2 line

drill wide mode which will alternate between hitting

you a wide forehand then a wide backhand. If you

Page 8 Manual Revision 2.7.2

press it again, you will enter the 2 line drill

edium

mode which alternates between a medium forehand

and a medium backhand (easier). Pressing the

button a 3rd time will enter the 2 line drill narrow

mode which alternates between a narrow forehand

and narrow backhand (easiest). Press this button a

4th time to turn off the 2 line drill. Note that the

maximum interval setting when using the “2 line drill

– wide” is 15, it can be set up to 20 for the “2 line

drill – narrow and medium”

Feed On: When illuminated, the machine is currently feeding

balls (ie, more caution should be used when

standing in front of the machine). If no balls are fired

from the machine for approximately 30 seconds, the

feeder will pause as a safety precaution.

Low Battery: The low battery light will illuminate when the

battery’s charge is getting low. You will have limited

time left once this illuminates and you should charge

your battery. You also have the 4 bar battery

indicator on the right hand side of the LCD. Note,

the battery should be charged after every use and if

possible the battery should not be left on charge for

more than 24 hours.

Charger: Plug the charger provided into the jack on the rear

of your machine (swivel the black cover to uncover

the jack) and the other end into a power outlet to

start the charging of your machine. Please observe

the light on the charger to determine when your

machine is fully charged. The light will be red when

it is charging and green when charging is complete.

REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control has been designed to be as small as possible to fit easily

into your pocket. To achieve this, the labels on the buttons have been

abbreviated. Please use the below reference to understand the buttons:

UP Elevation Up

DO Elevation Down

HO Horizontal Oscillation (1 = wide, 2 = medium, 3 = off)

ertical Oscillation

DR 2 line drill (1 = wide, 2 = medium, 3 = narrow, 4 = off).

FE Feed on/off

L Swivel Left

R Swivel Right

PA Pause – conserves battery

Page 9 Manual Revision 2.7.2

The remote control uses a radio frequency to communicate with the machine. It

has been designed to work from a range that easily extends the length of a

tennis court. If you are experiencing issues with the range of your remote, please

try replacing the battery. The main cause of range issues (other than battery) is

interference from other radio frequencies in the area. If you are able to try

another public court at the facility, you may find improved results. Please also

be careful to gently extend the remote control aerial as this can easily be

damaged.

EXAMPLE SETTINGS

When first using your machine, it can take a while to get use to the settings. By

adjusting one setting, you may find you need to adjust others to compensate.

We recommend reducing the interval setting while you are experimenting. You

can speed it back up again once you have found the settings that you like. To

help get you started, here are some example settings that you might like (please

note, you may need to adjust them slightly to suit your machine).

With your machine placed just behind the base line in the centre, please enter

the four settings of your choice into your control panel:

Interval Speed Spin Elevation

Beginner topspin 9 10 +2 55

Beginner flat 9 8 0 64

Beginner slice 9 9 -3 68

Beginner lob 13 6 0 150

Intermediate topspin 13 14 +4 50

Intermediate flat 13 12 0 30

Intermediate slice 13 15 -5 16

Intermediate lob 13 9 +2 200

dvanced topspin 16 18 +6 47

Advanced flat 13 18 0 10

dvanced slice 16 18 -6 47

Advanced lob 13 12 -3 200

TENNIS BALLS

Your machine can hold 200 balls. Whilst the hopper can possibly take a larger

quantity than this, we recommend you restrict it to 200 balls, which puts less

weight on the carousel motor.

We strongly recommend the use of pressureless balls, preferably from a

reputable brand. Balls can contain an oily coating in the felt which can cause

damage to the throwing wheels rendering them useless. Please choose carefully

when determining which balls to use in your machine. We endorse Spinfire

Juice, Tretorn Micro X & Babolat Academy balls which have been thoroughly

tested with this machine.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Machine won’t turn on

Please check that the master switch has been turned on under the machine and

that you are holding the on button for at least 5 seconds.

Machine fails to initialize

If your machine will not fully initialize, there may be a problem with an infrared

sensor inside your machine. As a short term fix, please try the following steps to

start your machine:

1. Make sure your machine is turned off (you may need to use the master

switch under your machine).

2. Manually move the internal mechanism of your machine to the lowest

possible elevation and to the centre of the opening.

3. With the master switch on, hold both the power and menu buttons at the

same time for 5 seconds to turn on your machine. The LCD should

display a message to let you know you have entered “manual mode”.

If this resolves your problem, then you can continue to use your machine this

way until a permanent solution can be obtained from your Spinfire dealer. Please

note that this solution relies on you performing step 2 above correctly. If you do

not set the machine to the correct position before turning on the machine, you

will find that the calibration may be off target. You will either need to turn the

machine off to try again, or physically point your machine in a direction that will

achieve the desired results.

The solution above is only a short term fix. Whilst you can continue to use your

machine indefinitely with the above solution, you may want to resolve the sensor

issue. To do this, please contact your local Spinfire dealer to discuss the

problem you are experiencing. If possible, please create a short video showing

the problem which can be emailed to your dealer. To create the necessary

video, please follow these steps:

1. Turn your machine off and empty all of the balls. Please make sure there

are no balls stuck behind the throwing wheels.

2. Manually raise the elevation of your machine to approximately half way

up.

3. You are now ready to start filming. While filming the front of the machine,

please turn it on. The Spinfire Pro 2 should lower the elevation and then

move to the side (if standing in front of the machine, it will move to the

right). After this it will return to the centre and then raise the elevation to

the level set on the control panel (if elevation is set to zero then no

elevation will occur). Given that you are experiencing a problem, we

expect this sequence to fail at some point and this video will help to

assist us in locating where.
