Connect both Frame Connectors (J) to one Frame & Legs (I). Lock into place with the push pins. The push pins lock into place on the bottom of the Frame.

J I I J I STEP 2 ATTACH THE REBOUNDER NET Adult assembly recommended. With the completed frame upside down, lay the Net (K) inside the frame. Starting at position 1 (see diagram) on the frame, slide the bungee head under the net and through the net square. Wrap the bungee around the frame and loop the end of the bungee over the bungee head to secure the net to the frame. NOTE: Make sure that the Bungee head is facing up, this will ensure that when you flip the rebounder back over the Bungee heads will be under the net and will not impact the bounce of the ball. Attach the remaining bungees in the same fashion. For easy net attachment make sure to attach the bungee cords in the numerical order you see them on the diagram. 2 10 11 5 1 6 Your Rebounder Net is now ready for use. 9 12 8 3 ORDER OF BUNGEE ATTACHMENT 7 14 13 4 SKLZ.com
STEP 3 ADJUSTING THE REBOUNDER ANGLE Flip the Rebounder Net over so it is standing on the ground. Remove the locking pin from each angle adjustment leg. Move the leg to the desired angle and replace the locking pin. Make sure that the angle is the same for both legs. Angle Adjustment Leg HOW TO USE THE QUICKSWING PX4 FOUR WAYS: AUTO-FEED GRAVITY DROP: Set up the QuickSwing PX4 at least a foot above your swing height. Position the dial to fit your skill level. Balls will drop every 6, 8 or 10 seconds. You can also set up the QuickSwing PX4 in the manual position. The auto-feed gravity drop pitch allows for batters to work on skills essential for game day. This includes increasing bat speed, better hand-eye coordination and faster reflexes. REBOUNDER FOR TEE SIMULATION: Set up the QuickSwing PX4 Auto without the end dial. Position the rebounder directly below where the ball will be dropped from the QuickSwing PX4. The ball will bounce up directly upward to simulate hitting of a tee. While tee hitting is important for working on the mechanics of ball contact, the QuickSwing PX4 adds another layer to this. The ball dropping from the trainer forces batters to react to ball speed and path to give more of a challenge than an ordinary tee.
REBOUNDER FOR ANGLED SOFT TOSS: Set up the QuickSwing PX4 Auto without the end dial. Angle the rebounder to desired angle and position the rebounder so the higher side is below where the ball will drop from the QuickSwing PX4. As the ball hits the high side of the rebounder it will angle out for a soft toss style pitch. Soft toss pitching allows batters to work on their swing without the pressure of live pitching. Through repetition batters can work on perfecting swing mechanics for live pitching during game days. REBOUNDER FOR ANGLED TURNAROUND DOUBLE PLAY: Set up the QuickSwing PX4 Auto without the end dial. Place the rebounder at level height below where the ball will be released from the QuickSwing PX4. As the ball bounces off of the rebounder catch and throw for a turnaround double play simulation. To add difficulty, angle rebounder for a more challenging initial catch. Ideal for use with SKLZ practice nets. Through turnaround double play practice, athletes can work on their reaction and catch-to-throw transition times. By increasing the speed of the transition, players will be able to make more effective double plays and ultimately get more outs. SKLZ.com
