To turn the machine use the two turning buttons, the one on the left is Counter-Clockwise
direction the button to the right is Clockwise. Like the other buttons, they will disappear
while the machine is moving. If the machine is parallel to the foul line and the main drive
wheels are on the center board, the machine will be lined up with the lane when turned 90
degrees.
It is not unusual to start then stop the machine quickly to obtain the exact position desired.
Approach Adjustments
Go to the Main Menu on the Walker and select
APPROACH ADJUSTMENTS and the screen will change
to LANE TO LANE ADJUSTMENTS. From this screen
you choose Standard or Super Advance.
Press STANDARD LANE TO LANE and the screen will
change to the adjustment screen.
First choose a direction and press one of the buttons
to the right of the STEPS. The NEXT and LAST buttons
will appear and the STEPS can be enabled.
Press on a STEP and it will change color to show it is
enabled to be adjusted.
Use the buttons at the bottom to increase or decrease
the value. In most cases, the STOP ON APPROACH
value will never need to be changed but the others
will. Use your NEXT and LAST buttons to advance
lanes or back up lanes.
There are 4 steps used for each lane to guide the machine across the center: 1, 2, 7, and 8.
Steps 3 through 6 are used for SUPER ADVANCE programming.
STEP #1 is used to stop the machine on the approach after it has exited the lane.
STEP #2 is used to turn 90 degrees away from the lane.
STEP #7 is used to travel to the next lane. STEP #7 is also the STEP that is adjusted by the
Whiskers.
STEP #8 is used to turn 90 degrees to face the lane.
Steps 2, 7 and 8 will be the ones that need the most attention. As the machine gets older its
turning adjustments may need to be modified to make up for mechanical wear.
STEP #2 should always be adjusted so the machine does not drift closer to the foul line.
STEP #7 and #8 should be adjusted to enter the lane as perfectly as possible.
