Section 6: Troubleshooting
BOWLING IN PROGRESS
The following information and procedures should be used for correcting pinsetter stops, or
malfunctions. Follow safety guidelines in the Servicing section.
When a pinsetter experiences a stop, the Pinsetter CPU, will shut down the pinsetter, and flash the red
status light located on top of the elevator assembly. Typically a code indicating the problem encountered
will display on top of the Nexgen box or on the mechanic’s remote display if installed.
PINSETTER CLEARING PROCEDURE AFTER STOP
When a pinsetter experiences a stop, the Pinsetter CPU, will shut down the pinsetter, and flash red
status light located on top of the elevator assembly. Typically a code indicating the problem encountered
will display on top of the Nexgen box or on the mechanic’s remote display if installed. Refer to
Figure
6-1
NOTE
: Some errors or problems with the pinsetter may not be detected by the Pinsetter CPU.
Examples are ball accelerator problems or scoring errors. In these situations the status light will
not flash to indicate a problem.
The following procedure should be used for correcting pinsetter stops or malfunctions.
1. When approaching the pinsetter from the rear, turn the stop/run switch located on the
mechanic’s control or the remote display terminal to the stop position. When approaching the
pinsetter from the front, turn the stop/run switch on top of the Nexgen Controller to the stop
position.
2. Determine the reason for the stop. Look for pins on shark switch assembly, distributor or on top
or the setting table. If the trouble light is flashing look at the display located on the top of the
Nexgen Controller or on the remote display terminal for an associated error code.
3. Clear the jam, repair or replace the failed part, or make the adjustment as appropriate. If
making the correction requires work to be done on the pindeck, ball accelerator, or pit area,
lower the sweep wagon to prevent a ball from entering the machine(s).
4. Reinstall all guards.
5. Set the STOP/RUN switch to the run position.
