Rotate Pins - QubicaAMF Edge String Owner's Manual

3.3.5. Rotate Pins

It is possible that unequal pin wear can occur on EDGE String pinspotters. This is due to the pins
on these machines always being set on the same pin spot. As a result, some pins (especially the
1, 2, and 3 pins) will wear more quickly than other pins, due to more frequent ball strikes.
It is recommended to replace or rotate pins as needed as part of the preventive maintenance (PM)
schedule. The recommended pin rotation sequence frequency is every 25,000 frames/3 months.
After completing the three rotations shown below (Figure 3-7), continue repeating the rotation
sequence or replace pins as needed.

• #2 Phillips Screwdriver

• String Sleeve Tool (051-200-700)
