In the previous screen we left with the load area at 00 to 07 feet, the beginning screen in the second screen forward begins with the ending distance of the previous screen.
  • Page 53 Operators Manual * Remember the area for the each load is calculated with the ending distance of the previous load screen. This is the starting distance for each successive screen. The ending distance is calculated with the number of loads versus the speed the machine is programmed to travel. This is added to the starting distance for each screen.
  • Page 54 Operators Manual Note: If you were to go into the screen with the last oil distance to increment the number of loads from 0 to 1, the program will not allow you to increase the number of loads until you “enter around” to the travel distance and decrement it.
  • Page 55 Operators Manual RETURN OIL SCREENS When the last screen forward has been entered you may now proceed to the next screen. Depress NEXT and the following menu will appear: 01R 10L-10R X 00 38->10 FT IPS=56 Notice the screen number is now 01 again and the F has changed to an R (meaning reverse).
  • Page 56 Operators Manual Depress NEXT and the following screen will appear: 03R 8L- 8R X 00 05->00 FT IPS=14 Remember the last screen in reverse should always end a minimum of 4 feet before the foul line (or 0 feet). If more than 2 or 3 loads are set for reverse, then end the loads even sooner.

It should be adjusted so the machine travels the correct distance back to the foul line. The return distance may be a couple of counts different than the distance to the end of the pindeck.

    Operators Manual Section VI - Maintenance Maintenance: The following items should be done to the machine on a regular basis: A. Power Cord Care should be taken to see that the power cord is handled properly and stored correctly. Do NOT wrap the cord around the machine for storage. Some type of cord wrap or cord spool for suitable means of storage will add life to the cord.

    Operators Manual F. Vacuum Motor Important! This motor should be wiped off daily and blown out weekly. This is especially important in high dust areas, or bowling centers who do not dust gutters and caps daily. Dirt can build up on the electrical end of the motor which will obstruct the air flow.
  • Page 103 Operators Manual After draining, set the machine back down and remove the drain hose. Insert the plug into the tank fitting. 2) FLUSHING THE LINES: The oil lines should be flushed to remove all the old conditioner. Located on the top left of the conditioner tank is the Oil Tank Return Line.
  • Page 104 Operators Manual Stand the machine up to the storage position. On the bottom side, locate the two small valves. Remove the line coming from the bottom of the right-hand valve and drain into cup. (The gray collet must be depressed to release the hose from the fitting.) This will drain the line that runs to the transfer roller.

    Operators Manual NOTE: When using conditioners with a viscosity less than 18 centipoise, use the special reducer attachment found in the accessory kit. Attach to the oil return line and adjust the pressure as stated above. (Figure 12 of the Parts Drawings shows the reducer fitting.) This attachment will increase the back pressure of the return line at the oil...

    Operators Manual L. Automatic Maintenance Checks The machine features an Automatic Maintenance program which alerts the operator when to perform regularly scheduled maintenance. In addition to normal daily maintenance, the machine requires inspections at 20, 100 and 200 miles of travel. Each time these distances are reached, a maintenance message will appear.

    Operators Manual Section VII - Inputs and Outputs The PC of the machine has 16 inputs (all of which are used) and 24 outputs (21 of which are used). Inputs accept data from various components in the machine, and then use that information to control functions of the machine through its outputs.
  • Page 110 Operators Manual Here is a list of the OUTPUT numbers for the PC, along with their designations on the machine: OUTPUT# CONTROLS: OIL PROGRAM CONTROL VALVE (24V DC) LEFT TO RIGHT OIL HEAD DRIVE RIGHT TO LEFT OIL HEAD DRIVE OIL PUMP MOTOR SPEED CONTROL 2ND SPEED RELAY OIL CALIBRATION TEST VALVE (115V AC)
  • Page 111 Operators Manual DESCRIPTION OF INPUTS The machine monitors the Input Module for DC Voltage. If the terminal strip pops loose, an Error Message will appear on the keypad display. This error will appear: INPUT ERROR! CHECK TERM STRIP This screen is alerting the operator to check the terminal strip on the ID212 Input Module of the PC Assembly.
  • Page 112 Operators Manual Left to Right Oil Head Sensor: This sensor is located next to the side wall when looking at the Head Timing Assembly. This sensor counts the number of boards that the head crosses from left to right. This works along with the proximity sensor that will show the lane edge when moving left to right.
  • Page 113 Operators Manual Buffer Up Switch: This switch is located nearest to the Buffer Up/Down mounting bracket. When the lobe of the cam on the motor shaft actuates this switch, the PC receives a signal that the brush is in the UP position. This switch is wired Normally Open.
  • Page 114 Operators Manual Failsafe Switch: There are two of these microswitches, located across from each other on the side walls, below the Cushion Roller Pivot Arms. When the pivot arms drop and actuate the switches, the machine will travel for three more inches before it reverses itself to exit the pindeck.
  • Page 115 Operators Manual Squeegee Up Switch: This switch is located on the Squeegee Motor Mounting Bracket (furthest away from the angle). The switch works the same way as the Buffer Up Switch. When the cam lobe actuates the switch the PC receives the signal telling the machine the squeegee is UP.

  • Page 118 Operators Manual Lane Distance Sensor (LDS): This infrared pass- thru sensor is mounted on the rear of the machine (on the right pillow block before Serial Number 2459 or on the center block on from Serial Number 2459 and higher). A sprocket passes through this sensor as the shaft turns.
  • Page 119 Operators Manual Drive Shaft Tachometer Sensor: Mounted to the left side of the machine is the TACH sensor. A ten-tooth timing sprocket is rotated by the drive shaft. the teeth of the sprocket pass through this sensor pulses are sent to the PC. The PC counts these pulses and calculates the IPS (INCHES PER SECOND) travel speed of the machine.
