Page 13: Section 2: Getting To Know The Max
Section 2: Getting to Know the MAX Before you get started you should understand the basic parts and processes of the machine. This section gives you a general introduction to the machine, its design, and how it works. Illustrations identify important parts and systems and provide references to better understand the machine.

Page 15: Transport/Storage Position
Note: It is OK to connect DC power from battery charger in transport position. WARNING! Brunswick recommends using a partner whenever possible to help with lifting or lowering the machine from the operating position. Take care when lowering this machine into the operating position.
Page 16: Operating Position
Most maintenance operations are made with the machine in “operating position” with the covers open. Refer to Figure 2-4. WARNING! Brunswick recommends using a partner whenever possible to help with lifting or lowering the machine from the operating position. Take care when lowering this machine into the operating position.
Page 17: Machine Features
MACHINE FEATURES The MAX is designed to make lane care easy, reliable, and customized for the needs of individual bowling centers. 1. Direct + injector technology. We have leveraged the technology of Mercury Marine to develop a patented injection system with unprecedented precision. Thirty-nine injectors (one for each board) are independently controlled to deliver precise amounts of conditioner directly to the lane surface.
Page 18: New Features
8. Cleaner pressure sensor. A pressure sensor in the cleaner manifold will monitor cleaner spray pressure and will generate an error message if the spray pressure is outside of tolerances. 9. Strong and fast duster motor. The MAX uses a robust motor that has steel gears resulting in more cycles of the motor.

Page 21: Section 3: Max Power System
28.6 vdc. Call Brunswick Technical Service or your installing distributor if your charger is not set to these proper settings for the type of battery in your MAX. It is best to install the charger onto a wall within 8’ (2.438 m) of a power outlet that is not being used to power other equipment.
Page 22: Charging System
CHARGING SYSTEM The MAX Lithium battery is intended to have the power remain ON at all times in order to monitor the performance and charging of the batteries. However, the battery will charge if the machine is powered OFF. A power switch and two indicator lights are located on the left hand side cover to display proper operation.
Page 23: Ac/Dc Power Supply
AC/DC POWER SUPPLY All versions of the MAX utilize an AC/DC power supply which is designed to be operated with an AC power cable. It also provides a level of back up protection if the batteries fail to recharged after use or hold a charge as they end their life cycle.
Page 24 The 125’ power cord should only be connected to the AC/DC Twist-Lock connector on the rear cover when the MAX is in the operating position. This cord should be disconnected before the machine is lifted into the transport position. If the batteries are not fully charged, the AC/DC Power Supply cable should be disconnected from the electrical enclosure after running the lanes and the battery power cable should be reconnected to the electrical enclosure.
Page 25: Section 4: Understanding The Tablet Interface
The Tablet monitors the machine’s operation, tells you when you need to replace or repair parts, and lets you customize just about every aspect of operation to the needs of your bowling center or the preferences of your bowlers.

THE PATTERN MENU The pattern screen lets you schedule, select, create, edit, or save conditioning patterns. The MAX comes with UNLIMITED patterns. You may use these pattern as your own or use them as a template to create more customized patterns. You may also save machine data locally or to a USB drive.
Page 36 Select the desired pattern for this lane range. Start lane is “21”. End lane is “40” Select the desired pattern for this lane range. NOTE: If any day or time period is left without a scheduled pattern, all lanes will run on the default pattern (pattern 1). Please check to make sure that you have not allowed time gaps between any of the 3 allowable time periods or lane ranges. These gaps could result in an unexpected pattern selection if the lane machine is in operation during that time gap. 5. Leave the Pattern Menu to save changes.

Page 45 If necessary the download may be aborted by pressing “Cancel” on the screen. Refer to Figure 4-14. NOTE: Any new or revised pattern must be downloaded from the tablet to the machine control board to perform a conditioning run using that pattern. When the pattern is downloaded from the Operator screen the machine will prepare to run when the download is completed. The machine will instruct the operator to place the machine on the lane. Figure 4-14. Download Progress Bar NOTE: All patterns must be downloaded after changing to a different conditioner selection. To avoid unnecessary downloads, select your desired conditioner from the System menu before downloading patterns.

In addition to the daily and scheduled maintenance, these items should be done once a year, depending on use. The MAX uses high-quality parts to ensure long life. Yet with the demands of daily use, you’ll want to replace parts that wear and check the adjustment of other components to keep your machine in peak working order.
Page 99 WARNING! Before performing maintenance, be sure the charger cord is disconnected from the machine and the machine is off. WARNING!

Recreational patterns can vary from 3 zones to 5 zones with zone lengths from 8 feet to 12 feet.
Page 200 Set all boards for zero (0) and the machine will buff the last zone in the forward direction of travel only. This increases the lengthwise taper even more. Refer to Figure 8-4. Figure 8-4.

Page 201: Verifying The Conditioner Pattern
Verification of the conditioner pattern is a step used to qualify the pattern you are using. It allows you to see that the MAX is consistently producing a conditioner pattern based on what is programmed in the Pattern Design screens. It also allows you to identify wear components such as, the absorbent wiper, squeegee, or buffer brush.
