Lane Cleaning Cloth should be loaded into the machine using the following
procedure:
1. Remove the cleaner dispensing tip from the holder and then remove the old cloth
(make sure the spring in the tip holder block doesn’t fall out) .
2. Now that the cloth is out of the way, take this opportunity to clean and maintain this
compartment
. The cleaner belt should be inspected and the sliding head bar
lubricated at this time.
3. Remove the pipe from the old duster core and insert into the new one. Unroll
about 3 feet of cloth and then install the new roll into its location.
4. Route the cloth down between the squeegee and the cushion roller. Pull the cloth
under the cushion roller and distribute it evenly.
5.
Once the cloth is routed under the cushion, pull the excess
cloth far enough through to get at least 3 or 4 wraps around
the PVC take-up reel or EZ Core. Make sure the cloth is
wrapped evenly from side to side around the
pipe.
6.
Insert the take-up reel into its location and
replace the
cleaner dispensing tip .
7.
Locate the motor button in the cleaner compartment; this
button is always enabled to operate the duster (unless the
cleaner volume is being checked). Press the button once
and the duster will unwind, press again and it will wind-up
cloth. The cloth should be rolled up tight and evenly across
the assembly
.
8.
VERY IMPORTANT! After installing the new roll, you must reset
the number of lanes in the cloth. You can do this by either
pressing and holding the motor button until you hear 3
beeps followed by a steady beep, then release. Or, going
to your duster settings in the menus and press RESET CLOTH.
Filling the Cleaner supply Tank
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 rag beneath the tank. Open the tank cap
and place a rag 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.
