1. Keep It Clean

• Ball Chamber and Feed Mechanism:
  Regularly clean these areas to remove dirt, dust, and ball fuzz, which can accumulate and affect performance. Use a soft brush or cloth to wipe away debris.
• Exterior:
  Wipe the outer casing with a damp cloth to keep it clean and free from residue.

2. Use the Right Balls

• Pressure-less Balls:
  Always use pressure-less tennis balls as they are more durable and reduce wear on the internal mechanisms.
• Avoid Dirty or Wet Balls:
  Dirt and moisture can damage the machine’s internal components.

3. Battery Maintenance

• Charging:
  • For lead-acid batteries (v1), recharge immediately after use to prevent deep discharge, which can shorten battery life.
  • For lithium batteries (v2), avoid overcharging and allow occasional full discharges to maintain battery health.
• Storage:
  Store batteries in a cool, dry place and avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures.
• Replacement:
  Check the battery every 1–2 years for reduced performance and replace it if necessary.

4. Lubrication

• Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for lubrication. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to moving parts like the oscillation mechanism, if specified, to ensure smooth operation.

5. Regular Inspection

• Cables and Connections:
  Inspect power cords, connectors, and any cabling for wear or damage. Replace or repair as needed.
• Wheels and Transport Mechanism:
  Ensure that the wheels and handles are secure and functioning correctly for safe and easy transport.

6. Firmware Updates (For v2 Models)

• Check for firmware updates if your model includes app connectivity. Updates can improve functionality or address performance issues.

7. Professional Servicing

• Schedule routine servicing if the machine shows signs of mechanical issues, such as irregular ball feeds or unusual noises. Many manufacturers provide servicing options or advice.

8. Proper Storage

• Store the machine in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or damp conditions.
• Use a protective cover to shield the machine from dust and accidental damage.

9. Follow Manufacturer Guidelines

• Refer to the user manual for specific maintenance instructions and recommendations tailored to the Spinfire Pro 2 model.

With regular maintenance and proper care, your Spinfire Pro 2 can deliver consistent, high-performance training for years.
