C. Duster Cloth Counter
The LaneWalker is equipped with a Duster Cloth Counter which indicates the
number of lanes remaining on the current roll of duster cloth, and also warns the operator
when no cloth is remaining.
When not enough cloth is left to do the entire center, the following screen will
appear when power is first applied to the LaneWalker:
LINO ALMOST OUT!
0020 MINUTE WARNING!
When the Duster Cloth counter reaches zero, the LaneWalker will stop on the
approach and display the following message:
LINO CLOTH EMPTY
PULL POWER CORD
The LaneWalker will continue stopping on each lane until the duster cloth is
changed and the counter is reset. To reset the counter, follow the instructions in this
manual under LINO CTRL & RSET. After resetting the counter, re-program the
LaneWalker to continue operation.
D. Filling of Conditioner Tank
To fill the conditioner tank, the LaneWalker should be in the upright position on a
level surface. Connect the conditioner fill tube to the tank vent on the front panel of the
LaneWalker. Disconnect the overflow tube from the inside wall of the buffing end, remove
end plug, and hang into an empty clean container. Through the fill tube, either siphon or
funnel conditioner into the tank. The tank will be full when conditioner begins to flow
through the overflow tube into the empty container.
E. Wicking Adjustments
The wick pressure can be adjusted for balance of left and right side pressure across
each wick by adjusting an eyebolt connected to the wicking pad springs. It is suggested
that the lanes be conditioned with the LaneWalker, then graphed using an ABC Take-Up
Device and Lane Reader. If conditioner patterns seem to vary in an area conditioned by
one wicking pad, either increase or decrease the wick pressure by adjusting the springs on
either end of the pad. Generally, springs pulling the pads harder into the transfer roller will
increase conditioner flow, lighter will decrease. Adjust spring pressure and graph lanes
again. (NOTE: Wicking pad springs should not be adjusted so tightly that it causes the
wicking pad solenoids to pull too hard.) If several adjustments on the wicking pad springs
do not balance the condition being applied, replace the wicking pad and re-adjust.
