Filling the Cleaner Supply Tank
With separate water and cleaner tanks:
1. To fill the Cleaner Supply Tank, the machine should be in the down or operating
position on the lane.
2. Add water to the supply tank located on the left or the 7 pin side. Add water until you
reach ½” (1.3cm) below the top of the tank.
3. Add straight cleaner to the right tank assembly or the 10 pin side tank.
4. Clean up any spills that may have occurred during the filling.
IMPORTANT: If your lane machine is equipped with separate water and cleaner supply tanks
and are storing the lane machine for a lengthy period time, you must drain the cleaner
supply tank and run water through the system. This is done to prevent any cleaner that is
left in the lines to leave residue.
With single cleaner supply tank assembly:
1. To fill the Cleaner Supply Tank, the machine should be in the down or operating
position on the lane. Prepare an appropriate mixture of cleaner and water. Open the
splash guard and place a towel beneath the tank. Open the tank cap and place a
towel around the base of the funnel to prevent foam from over-flowing into the
machine.
2. Slowly pour the mixture into the Cleaner Supply Tank using the supplied funnel until
the level in the tank is about 1/2" (1.3 cm) below the top of the tank. This will
prevent an air pocket from forming and blocking the fluid flowing from the funnel.
Replace cap tightly when finished.
Recovery Tank
To empty the recovery tank the machine must be in the down or operating position.
1. Disconnect the inlet from the side of the recovery tank and the outlet hose from the
vacuum motor by removing the PVC elbows. It is best to have a towel in each hand
to hold over the fittings to help prevent drips.
2. Remove the tank from the machine and dispose of the used cleaner properly. Do
NOT dump recovery tank in a septic tank or sanitary sewer system. Follow your local
environmental regulations for the best method of disposal.
3. When dumping liquid from Recovery Tank, it is important to dump from the end
marked EMPTY, or the end that was connected to the squeegee assembly. If liquid
