This is a HEAVY piece of equipment, and care should be taken when lifting it into the transport position.
Use the proper technique to lift and lower the machine, and get a partner to help lift it up and set it
down whenever possible. Make sure to bend at the knees and use a back support or mechanical lift if
needed. Kegel does sell an optional piece of equipment that can assist the operator when lifting and
lowering the machine. It can be mounted next to the end pairs of lanes to significantly reduce the
transitional weight of the machine. Large centers might consider getting one for each end of the
center for more convenience.
DO NOT operate the machine while standing up in the transport position. There is a POTENTIAL FOR
INJURY due to moving parts. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. This machine is designed and
manufactured for many years of dependable service. To ensure the durability of this equipment
please handle it carefully. Do NOT drop or bang the machine around.
Disconnect power BEFORE filling the Supply Tank or the Conditioner Tank. Be careful not to overfill the
tanks. Do not allow excess fluid to enter the electrical compartment or come into contact with any
electrical components. WIPE UP spills immediately, and make sure all components are dry before
applying power to the machine.
Replace fuses with the same type (Slow Blow) and Amp rating as indicated on the original fuse (or refer
to the wiring diagram). Failure to do so may result in DAMAGE to the machine.
NEVER use any batteries, other than the type supplied with the machine. Mixing battery types or using
batteries that are different from what is supplied with the machine may damage the machine and
cause serious injury or death to the operator. Use of alternate battery or charger types will void the
