Maintenance - Newgy Industries Robo-Pong 2040+ Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE STEPS & TRANSFORMER SPECS (ALL MODELS)
Robo-Pong robots are easy to maintain. The only maintenance that
our robots require is an occasional cleaning. The Ball Discharge
Wheel and Friction Block are especially prone to dirt build-up.
Periodically inspect these parts and clean with Rubber Drive
Cleaner and a cloth. One indicator that these parts are dirty is errat-
ic delivery—balls are occasionally ejected sideways, down into the
net, or popped up.
It's possible to clean these parts without disassembling the
robot head. The following steps show how it is done using the
Rubber Drive Cleaner and a cloth. This cleaner is terrific for remov-
ing dirt from rubber surfaces and restores the natural grip to these
parts. If your fingers are too large to clean these parts through the
discharge hole, you will need to disassemble the robot head.
To reduce the amount of dirt that enters your machine, keep
the table, balls, and playing area clean. Dust, pet hairs, carpet fibers,
and other fibrous material can wrap around the drive pin and liter-
ally "strangle" the Ball Speed Motor to stop it from functioning.
When wiping off the outside of your robot, use a damp cloth. Do
not use any petroleum based solvent, cleaner, or lubricant as
these chemicals are corrosive to the plastic. Be careful not to get
water on the motors, Control Box, or the 5 Pin Connector.
REMOVE ROBOT BODY
1
First, remove the robot
body from the Center
Trough (2040+) or Ball
Bucket (545/1040+). Then
lay it on a flat work surface.
CLEAN FRICTION BLOCK
2
Make sure the word
"Topspin" is at the top
of the discharge hole.
Wet your cloth with a
small amount of Rubber
Drive Cleaner. Insert the wet cloth
into the dis charge hole with your
index finger and rub it forcefully over the curved rubber sur-
face of the Friction Block. Using a dry section of the cloth,
wipe the Friction Block lightly to remove any remaining dirt
and dry it off.
CLEAN DISCHARGE WHEEL
3
Rotate the head so the
word "Backspin" is at
the top of the discharge
hole. To clean the
Discharge Wheel, you
must in sert two fingers into the
discharge hole. Wet a clean sec-
tion of the cloth with the cleaner.
Insert one finger into the hole to
hold the side of the wheel and keep it from turning. Now,
insert the wet cloth with your other finger and forcefully rub
the rubber surface of the wheel. After you clean the initial
exposed section of the wheel, rotate the wheel a little with
your first finger to expose the next section of wheel for clean-
ing. Keep cleaning a small section of wheel at a time until
you've cleaned the entire wheel. Then use a dry section of
cloth to lightly dry off the wheel. Lastly reattach the robot
body by reversing Step 1.
