  • Page 11: Introduction

    Section 1 INTRODUCTION The Express Lane Machine, shown in Figure 1-1, is a versatile, total lane care machine that performs three operations: cleaning, conditioning, and standalone buffing. The cleaning operation removes dirt and oil from the lane. It can be performed alone or in combination with conditioning.

  • Page 12: Specifications, Dimensions, And Capacities

    Express Lane Machine Operation, Maintenance, and Parts Manual The conditioning operation (also known as lane conditioning, oiling, or dressing) applies oil by buffing it onto the lane. If you select the oiling operation before selecting the buffing operation, the Express automatically selects the buffing operation for you. When conditioning your lanes using the Express as set at the factory, the oil pattern is medium- low output along the outer 11 inches of each side of the lane and high output down the middle 20 inches of the lane.

  • Page 13: Unpacking The Express Lane Machine

    Introduction Use only cleaners specifically manufactured for use on bowling lanes. Waste Tank Capacity Holds waste for 12+ lanes when a defoamer is used. Oil Tank Capacity 40 ounces (enough to condition 24 lanes). Use only oil products specifically manufactured for use on bowling lanes.

  • Page 15: Operation

    Section 2 OPERATION Operating the Express Lane Machine is very straightforward and easy to do. In fact, the basic steps are: Fill the tanks, Plug in the machine, Select the operation, Set it on the lane, and Press the Start button. But giving you only that bare information is like telling a new driver how to operate a car by telling them to turn the key in the ignition and press the accelerator.
  • Page 16 Express Lane Machine Operation, Maintenance, and Parts Manual The Vac Head contains the agitator foam and the squeegees. When cleaning, the Express performs the following actions: 1. The spray heads dispense the cleaner over the lane, as shown in Figure 2-1. 2.

  • Page 17: The Express Lane Machine Controls

    Operation The Express is propelled by the drive motor. When cleaning the lanes, the drive motor propels the machine until the end of the lane is reached, then it reverses direction and propels the machine back to the approach. When only conditioning the lanes (no cleaning) or only buffing the lanes, the drive motor propels the machine until the buffing distance is reached, then it reverses direction and propels the machine back to the approach.

  • Page 25: Cleaning Operation Components

    Operation CLEANING OPERATION COMPONENTS The components used in the cleaning operation are shown in Figures 2-10 and 2-11, and described below. Figure 2-10 Component Description Cleaner Tank This tank holds the cleaner. It holds enough cleaner to clean a minimum of 12 lanes. Because the tank is (Figure 2-10) designed to not drip when the machine is tipped into its the storage position, you can leave cleaner in the tank.
  • Page 26 Express Lane Machine Operation, Maintenance, and Parts Manual Component Description Waste Tank This tank is large enough to hold the cleaner, dirt, and oil from the cleaning of a minimum of 12 lanes. (Figure 2-10) To keep suds from being sucked into the vacuum motor, pour two to three ounces of defoamer into the waste tank before every lane cleaning session.

  • Page 27: Lane Conditioning Components

    Operation Component Description Squeegee 1 The front edge of this squeegee wipes the lane and directs the residue into the vacuum area. The back (Figure 2-11) edge works with the second squeegee to create the vacuum chamber. Agitator Foam This foam strip mixes the cleaner into the oil on the lane. (Figure 2-11) 2.7 LANE CONDITIONING COMPONENTS The lane conditioning components are shown in Figures 2-12 through 2-14 and described...
  • Page 28 Express Lane Machine Operation, Maintenance, and Parts Manual Component Description Oil Tank Level This indicator shows the level of oil in the oil tank.

  • Page 29: Preparing For Use

    Operation Figure 2-14 Component Description Buffer Brush The brush picks up oil from the transfer roller and applies it to the lane. (Figure 2-14) 2.8 PREPARING FOR USE Before every lane conditioning session you should perform the following steps to prepare the Express Lane Machine for use.

  • Page 30: Filling And Preparing The Tanks

    Express Lane Machine Operation, Maintenance, and Parts Manual 2.8.1 Filling And Preparing The Tanks The tanks have been designed to allow you to clean, condition, and store the vacuumed residue for at least 12 lanes. We recommend you fill the cleaner and oil tanks away from the lane.
  • Page 31 Operation Because bowlers can slip and fall on oil spilled on the approach, do not fill the oil tank on the approach. Fill it 2 to 3 feet down the lane or in an area away from the lanes, such as the service area by the pinspotters.

  • Page 32: Defoaming The Waste Tank And Checking The Hose Connections

    Express Lane Machine Operation, Maintenance, and Parts Manual 2.8.2 Defoaming The Waste Tank And Checking The Hose Connections As the emulsion of cleaner and oil is vacuumed, air is forced into it. This action produces suds that can get sucked into the vacuum motor. To alleviate this problem, pour two to three ounces of defoamer into the waste tank before starting a cleaning session.

  • Page 33: Cleaning And Conditioning The Lanes

    Operation 2.10 CLEANING AND CONDITIONING THE LANES The Express Lane Machine was designed to start up with the settings from the last time you used the machine. This feature means you can repeat your lane cleaning and conditioning settings without having to re-enter them every time you use the machine. NOTE We strongly suggest you dust the lanes before cleaning them.

  • Page 34: Cleaning The Lane Head

    Express Lane Machine Operation, Maintenance, and Parts Manual 2.10.1 Cleaning The Lane Head When you place only the front wheels in the gutter, the machine cleans and conditions the lane starting at the foul line.

  • Page 125: Appendix A - Determining Your Oiling Pattern

    Appendix A DETERMINING YOUR OILING PATTERN The lane experts agree that knowing how much oil to put on a lane and just where to put it is as much an art as a science. The amount of oil you need on your lanes is determined by numerous factors, such as •...
  • Page 126 Express Lane Machine Operations, Maintenance, and Parts Manual A.1 HOW THE EXPRESS APPLIES OIL The Express uses wicking foams to transport the oil from the oil tank onto a roller. The roller then “holds” the oil for pick up by the buffer brush. The buffer brush then brushes the oil onto the lane surface.
  • Page 127 Appendix A - Determining Your Oil Pattern The table below lists the checks you should perform to ensure the Express is applying the amount of oil you want in the pattern you want. For each check, the table also lists where to get information for changing the Express to the settings for your lanes.

If the problem still remains, you may need to change to an even higher output foam or you may need to increase the buffer brush pressure.

That means you will have to cut them to fit the 42-inch width of the oil tank and to create the oiling output pattern you want. The cut edges must be not be ragged;...
  • Page 131 Appendix A - Determining Your Oil Pattern • If changing the buffing distance to your normal distance does not give you the oil application you want at your test spot, experiment with other buffing distances. • If changing the buffing distance does not result in the amount of oil you want applied in the test spot in the buffed area, consider changing the oiling distance.
  • Page 132 Express Lane Machine Operations, Maintenance, and Parts Manual • If changing the wicking foams does not give you the amount of oil you want applied, increase or decrease the buffer brush pressure within the B - C range on the Buffer Pressure Adjusting Tool. NOTE It is better for you to use a wicking foam that applies slightly more oil than you want.
