2.1 General Safety Guidelines and Symbols
QubicaAMF feels strongly about its commitment to safety. Proper service and repair are
important to the safety of the mechanic as well as the safe, reliable operation of the
pinspotters.
Please read, understand, and follow all of the recommended safety procedures presented in
this manual.
The service procedures recommended and described in this technical manual are effective
methods of performing service and repair. Some of these procedures require the use of tools
specially designed for this purpose.

Properly trained personnel should be present whenever maintenance is being performed
on a pinspotter.

No unauthorized personnel should be allowed in the pit area.

Keep in mind that the XLi EDGE QubicaAMF pinspotter performs a series of mechanical
motions and electrical actions during each cycle, and that SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR
DEATH could result should personnel enter the machine when power is on. When
working in a pinspotter, it is recommended that power also be turned off on adjacent
machines.

Remember that safety must remain your first priority at all times.

The sound pressure level (LpA) in the area of the control chassis (operator’s station)
during bowling activities is in excess of 80 dBA. Hearing protection is recommended.

Safety goggles, ear protection, and steel-toed shoes are recommended whenever any
work is being performed on a pinspotter.

Wearing loose clothing or jewelry is NOT RECOMMENDED when operating or
maintaining the machinery.

Do not attempt to clear pin jams with a pin hook without first turning off power to the
pinspotter.
It is important to note that this manual contains various symbols and wording that provide
information that must be carefully followed in order to reduce the risk of personal injury
during service or repair, or that warn of the possibility that improper service or repair may
damage the pinspotter or render it unsafe.
Additionally, the XLi EDGE QubicaAMF pinspotter has a number of built-in features and
components as well as various warning labels that are designed to minimize and warn against
