GS-X Pinsetter w/Advanced (CE) Guarding Operation Manual
SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR GS-SERIES PINSETTERS
As with all machinery, a certain amount of risk is involved in working on the GS-Series Pinsetter.
However, if the necessary care, knowledge and responsibility are exercised, damage to the pinsetter and
accidents involving people can be avoided. The following steps should be taken:
1. ONLY PROPERLY TRAINED PEOPLE ARE QUALIFIED TO WORK ON OR OPERATE
THE PINSETTER.
2. Never operate the pinsetter without ALL factory supplied guarding in place.
3. Never operate the pinsetter if a guard or safety device is damaged or improperly fitted to the
machine.
4. Never bypass, disable, or tamper with the safety interlocks or pinsetter function switches.
5. Never attempt to climb over or around any mechanical barrier or machine guard.
6. Reinstall all the machine guards and the ladder after any troubleshooting or maintenance work
has been done on the pinsetter(s) or ball accelerator.
7. Always face toward the machine when using the ladder to climb onto or off the machine. Only
one person should be on the ladder at any time.
8. Suitable clothing must be worn (for example: rubber-soled shoes). Do not wear loose clothing
such as neckties or smocks that could get caught in moving parts. Remove rings, watches,
earrings, bracelets and other jewelry to avoid injury.
9. Care should be taken while near the front of the machine. Accidentally blocking the photocell
beam will cause the pinsetter to cycle.
10. Always turn the pinsetter off before working on the machine. Use the rear mechanic’s switch
mounted on the pin elevator or toggle the stop/run switch on the Nexgen box to the stop
position.
11. If more than one person is working on a machine or if a stop/run switch will be out of reach
while working on the machine, turn off both stop/run switches to prevent a person from turning
on the pinsetter before the other person says he/she is clear of the pinsetter.
12. When working on both machines of a lane pair or components that are common to both
machines (for example: an electronic control box or ball accelerator) power must be turned off
at the Nexgen box or Power Safety Controller and the input power cable must be removed from
the box. In addition the main power switch on the Nexgen or Safety Controller must be locked
into the off position using a suitable locking mechanism.
13. The sweep boards for the lane pair must be dropped to the guarding position when working on
the pinsetter or the ball accelerator to prevent a bowling ball from entering the pinsetter.
14. Prior to performing service work underneath the setting table, place a jack stand or other
suitable support under the center of the table.
