GS-X Pinsetter w/Advanced (CE) Guarding Operation Manual

REMOVING PIN(S) FROM UNDER THE SWEEP
Suggested Work Location: Work Area 4
CAUTION: Removing a pin from under the sweep places the mechanic
between the bowler and the machine. Always make sure that a bowler is not
positioned to throw a ball before putting yourself between the bowler and the
machine. It is good practices to have another employee positioned near any
bowler to ensure they cannot throw a ball and/or place a sign on the approach
to indicate the lane is not available for bowling.
CAUTION: When accessing the machine for work area 4, the main power
switch on the Nexgen or Safety Controller must be locked into the off position
using a suitable locking mechanism.
1. Turn the stop/run on the mechanic’s remote display or the Nexgen box to the stop position.
Turn off the main power switch on the Power Safety Controller box and lock the switch into the
off position using an approved lockout device.
2. Verify that all bowlers on the lane pair are off the approach and are not in a position to throw a
ball.
3. Manually pivot the sweep board upward and remove the pin(s) from under the sweep.
4. Restart the safety controller restore power to the pinsetter::
If the Green “Restart Photocell” LED is “On” press the photo sensor restart button to illuminate
the yellow “Ready for Restart” LED, then press the restart button. If only the yellow “Ready
for Restart” LED is “On” press the restart button.
5. Once the machine has initialized, toggle the stop/run switches on the mechanic’s remote display
to clear the power failure (PF) codes.
6. Check pinsetter operation.
