3.2.1.1 Checking The Cleaning Function
If you always clean and condition your lanes (cleaning, oiling, and buffing), you can’t tell
how well the Express is cleaning the lanes. To ensure the Express is removing the
cleaning residue from the lanes, pick two or three lanes in your center and perform only the
cleaning operation on them. After the Express has cleaned the lanes, examine them for
residue.
If the Express leaves residue on the lanes, check the condition of the squeegees and the
vacuum seal as described in the Performing After-Use Maintenance. Also refer to the
Troubleshooting section for other possible causes and solutions.
3.2.1.2 Measuring The Buffer Brush Pressure
The pressure put on the lane by the buffer brush must be consistent across the width of the
brush to ensure the oil is applied in a consistent amount across the lane. When the
Express Lane Machine leaves the factory, the buffer brush pressure is set to give you
optimal lane conditioning and is tested to ensure the pressure is the same across the
brush.
Unless you found you needed a higher setting when you determined your oiling pattern, the
best setting for the buffer brush pressure is between B and C on the Pressure Adjusting
Tool, shown in Figure 3-1. As the bristles on the buffer brush break off through normal
wear and tear, the pressure will lessen. Though the best practice is to replace the buffer
brush when the buffer pressure falls below B, you can extend the life of the buffer brush by
adjusting the buffer brush pressure setting. For information about changing the buffer
brush pressure, refer to the Adjusting The Buffer Brush Pressure information later in this
section.
NOTE
It is possible for the pressure
on one side of the brush to be
different from the other side.
Both sides need to be
adjusted to the same pressure
to ensure the oil pattern is
consistent across the width of
the brush.
