3.3 PUTTING THE PHOENIX LT4 INTO POSITION
The Phoenix LT4 Lane Machine has two positions: operating and storage. The machine
should always be stored on an interior wall (wall not touching the exterior of a building) to
maintain consistent temperature. This is done to maintain proper viscosity of
conditioner/oil. The machine must be in the operating position, shown in Figure 3- 29, to
perform any of its operations.
Though the Phoenix LT4 can be moved and temporarily stored in the operating position,
the machine must be placed into the storage position, as shown Figure 3- 30, if it is not to
be used for more than a few hours. In the operating position, spring pressure acts on the oil
tank foams and buffer brush which are necessary for the oiling function of the machine.
Over extended periods of inactivity, this pressure can cause permanent deformation of the
foams and buffer brush, potentially reducing their functionality. In the storage position, this
pressure is relieved by gravity making it safe to store the machine for extended periods of
time without risk of damage to these components.
To put the Phoenix LT4 into the operating position from the storage position, stand facing the
bottom of the machine and grab the lifting handle with both hands. Slowly lower the machine
onto its operating caster wheels, which are shown in Figure 3- 31 on the following page. Do
not release the lifting bar until all four wheels are on the approach.
