After going through and adjusting each of the
speeds, press the SET SPEED button in the
lower right corner and the RUN SCREEN will
appear.
Start the machine as you normally would by
pressing the handle button once on the
approach and a second time after placing
the lane machine on the lane.
The lane machine will then travel at 10 IPS on
the way down and on the way back. During this time the machine will
automatically dial the speed into 10 IPS, and in doing so, it will automatically
correct all of the other speeds at the same time.
Main Drive Motor Chain
It is important for the drive chain to stay tight but not too tight. First, determine what
adjustment needs to be made. A chain that is too tight means that there is no
movement of the chain when you press between the sprockets with your finger. A
chain that is too loose is when you can move the drive wheels back and forth without
engaging the motor.
To adjust Lane Drive Chain :
1. Loosen the three screws that secure the center compartment and hinge it
back.
2. Locate the lane drive chain idler adjustment and loosen main pivot and
adjusting jam nut.
3. Turn adjusting screw until the drive chain tightens up. Do not overtighten.
Proceed to tighten and inspecting until proper tension is achieved.
Note
: It is a good idea to inspect and clean everything in the center compartment
when it is open.
