Duster Switches
Adjust the duster switches only when the machine is standing up in the transport
position.
1. Unwind some cloth so there is free movement of the cushion roller.
2.
Check the Wind-Up Switches first by lifting the cushion roller up and holding it
against the stop bolts. The switches on both sides should clearly actuate before
the cushion lever screws hit the stops and there should be a small amount of
over-travel of the switch levers.
3. Be certain that the switches on both sides are adjusted with the same amount
of over-travel. If there is no over-travel, loosen adjusting screw with an 11/32”
wrench and back the screw out until there is some over-travel of the switch
lever. Tighten the nut(s) and make sure the cushion roller moves up and down
freely.
Squeegee Blades
Replace the squeegee blades and follow the below information for the proper
adjustment.
The Squeegee Assembly is adjusted at the factory to ensure proper cleaning. This
adjustment should be checked when the machine is installed. The factory "zero" point
is measured on the pivot mounts that secure the squeegee to the sides plates. We
suggest the gap between the bottom of the side plate and the bottom of the pivot
arm should be about
3/16" (4.76 mm) on both sides of the machine. Adjustments may
vary depending on your lane characteristics.
To check this
height adjustment and make changes, the machine should be in the
upright or transport position. The squeegee will need to be lowered to the down
position.
