Operators Manual
Section 2-12
LANE-TO-LANE CASTERS:
Located on the exterior left and
right sides of the frame are the lane to lane casters.
These casters support the machine as it is moved on the
approach from one lane to the next.
GUIDE ROLLERS:
Mounted inside of the side plates are five
spring-loaded guide rollers. These guide rollers ride
along the edges of the lane to keep the machine straight
and centered on the lane. The bolt for the center guide
roller (on the left side) is longer than the other four.
OIL PUMP & MOTOR:
Located on the left side underneath the
machine is the Conditioner Pump and Motor. Conditioner
is pumped from the tank through the
PULSE DAMPENER TUBE
to the
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
, continuing on through the
PRESSURE REGULATOR TUBING
then to the oil routing valves.
OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR BOX:
Located near the bottom of
the floor plate is the pressure regulator box (on
machines with serial number 2371 and after). This box
contains tubing to control the amount of pressure in the
oil output line. Various lengths and sizes of tubing are
available depending on the viscosity of the conditioner
being used in the machine. Refer to the chart in the
Appendix to select the appropriate regulator tubing.
OIL PRESSURE NEEDLE VALVE
: On machines with serial number
2370 and before, there is a needle valve located between
the pressure gauge and the oil control valves. This
valve is used to keep the oil pressure at approximately
10 psi. This needle valve has been replaced with the oil
pressure regulator box on current production models.
WARNING
: If the machine will be using very light oil it
should be converted to the pressure regulator box (Order
Part Number 154-8259). The new design eliminates the
chance of the needle valve becoming clogged when the
orifice is very small to create the proper amount of
pressure.
