GS-X Pinsetter w/Advanced (CE) Guarding Operation Manual
Cleaning the Distributor Belts
Suggested Work Location: Work Areas 1,2,3
CAUTION: When accessing the machine for work area 3, the main power
switch on the Nexgen or Safety Controller must be locked into the off position
using a suitable locking mechanism.
The following procedure should be used when cleaning the distributor belts.
1. Press the pinsetter reset button to lower the sweep board to its guarding position. Immediately
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. Remove guards as needed to gain access to the distributor area.
4. From work area 1, 2 or 3, clean all accessible distributor belts using a solution of 12 parts water
to 1 part lane cleaner (lane cleaner diluted 12:1 with water).
5. Manually rotate the distributor belts to gain access to the unwashed portion of the belts.
6. Clean the remaining portion of the distributor belts.
7. Re-install all guards removed in step 3 and verify all interlock and sensors are in their proper
position.
8. Restart the Safety Controller:
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.
9. Once the machine has initialized, toggle the STOP/RUN switches for each machine off/on to
clear the power failure (PF) code.
