4.3. Lubrication Instructions
4.3.1 Lubrication
Lubrication is one of the most important items in the proper operation and maintenance of the
XLi EDGE Pinspotter. Care must be taken to insure that lubricants are applied correctly. Avoid
excessive lubrication to minimize the possibility of transmitting lubricants to the bowler.
Before lubricating exposed parts or surfaces, it is important that the old lubricant first be
removed. It is also very important to clean the pinspotter as you lubricate.
Table 4.3-1 provides a quick look at the items requiring lubrication as well as the lubrication
frequency and Figure number (drawing) that should be referenced for more information. The
Figures that follow the Lubrication Schedule show the specific points of lubrication, the correct
amount of lubricant to use, and the frequency of lubrication for each part of the machine that
requires periodic lubrication.
Lubrication of the Distributor, Positive Ball Lift (PBL), and Front & Back End Gearboxes is
covered in their respective manuals.
4.3.2 Lubricant Symbols
Oiling: Items indicated by a number within a square require oiling. Use SAE #10 oil as the
lubricant.
Greasing: Items indicated by a number within a circle require greasing. Use a multipurpose
grease (such as Bearing Guard #2) as the lubricant.
NOTES: Refer to the XLi Pinspotter Motor & Gearbox Manual, for proper lubrication
instructions for these items. Use only QubicaAMF Gear Lube in the gearboxes!
There are 52 uniball rod ends on each pair of XLi Pinspotters. Although they are
considered greaseless and maintenance free, an occasional drop of oil on a rod end
may be desired to prevent squeaking.
