Oil Tank Level
Indicator
(Figure 2-12)
This indicator shows the level of oil in the oil tank.
Add oil to the tank when the oil in the indicator drops
below the bottom mark and before every lane
conditioning session. This will help keep the oil pattern
consistent.
3 Foams
(Figure 2-12 and
Figure 2-13
)
The bottom of the wicking foam pieces rest in the oil
tank where they constantly absorb oil. Their capillary
action causes the oil to move to the top of the wicking
foam where it is picked up by the transfer roller. The
different sizes, types, and densities of foam determine
the pattern in which the oil is distributed onto the transfer
roller.
The oiling pattern produced by your machine was
included in the shipping package. For different oil
patterns, refer to Appendix A - Determining Your Oiling
Pattern.
4 Oil
Transfer
Roller
(Not shown -
under the hood))
The oil transfer roller picks up oil from the wicking foams
and “holds” it for pickup by the buffer brush.
IMPORTANT
ALWAYS fill the oil tank
slowly
to allow
the oil level in the indicator to adjust to the
level in the tank.
NEVER fill the oil tank above the upper
mark on the oil tank level indicator or oil
will overflow the wicking foam holder into
the machine and onto the lane.
