cloth which is monitored by the duster up switch. If the switch's normally open
contacts do not open up there will be a DUSTER EMPTY error displayed. The
squeegee will move down and stop when the down switch normally open contacts
close. If the switch contacts do not close there will be a SQUEEGEE DOWN error
displayed. The oil pump will turn on.
3. Push the machine onto the lane and make sure it is properly seated. Press the start
button a second time and the moving heads will start and move from left to right or
from right to left (the heads move in opposite directions). The cleaner head will start
to apply cleaner instantly to the lane and not stop until the last squirt distance has
been reached. When the oil head reaches the right board edge proximity sensor, the
moving heads will reverse and begin to apply the first stream of oil.
4. The moving heads are now moving in opposite directions, so when the oil head
reaches the left board edge proximity sensor, the head motor will reverse and the
drive motor will start up. The buffer will then turn on and the machine will begin its
forward travel down the lane. When using the factory settings, the buffer motor does
not turn on until the rear of the machine is about 3 feet (0.914 meters) past the foul
line. Also, the vacuum motor does not turn on until the rear of the machine is about
3 to 4 feet (0.914 to 1.2 meters) past the foul line.

amount of run time to be displayed; the total valve time will also be recorded and
displayed.
6. As the machine travels forward down the lane the moving heads will continue to
operate applying oil and cleaner. The board counting proximity sensor monitors the
motion of the moving heads. If the motion is interrupted, a MOVING HEAD TRAVEL
error will be displayed.
7. As the machine travels down the lane, the lane distance sensor (LDS) is counting
inches traveled and is also monitoring the movement of the machine. If travel is
interrupted a FORWARD TRAVEL error will be displayed. The speed of the machine is
also being displayed on the screen.
8. As the machine continues to move forward, speeds will change and oil and cleaner
will continue to be dispensed to the lane as programmed. As the machine
approaches the applied oil distance, the oil will turn off and the buffer will continue
to buff oil onto the lane.
9. When the oil distance is reached the buffer brush will stop and rise up, then the
brush up switch normally open contacts close. If the contacts do not close there will
