C. Buffing End Components
Located on the buffing end of the LaneWalker are the following components:
·
DISTANCE WHEELS
: Located on the outside rear wall of the buffing end and
mounted on the ends of the lifting handle are the distance wheels. These wheels measure
the distance the LaneWalker travels down the lane. This is done through the use of an
infra-red sensor mounted near the center of the counting shaft.
·
POWER SWITCH
: Mounted on the right side of the rear wall under the buffing end
hood is the power switch. This switch also controls which power inlet on the LaneWalker
will be “live”. Flip the switch in the direction of travel to activate the correct inlet. For
example, if lanes are being conditioned from left to right, flip the switch to the right and the
left inlet will become “live”.
·
FUSES
: Mounted near the power switch are two fuses. One fuse protects the PC
COMMON (6 Amp) and one fuse protects the DC Speed Control Board (4 Amp - Ceramic).
Replace with Slow Blow fuses of the same type and amperage size.
·
CONDITIONER TANK
: Under the lid located towards the rear of the buffing end is
the conditioner tank and fill tube assembly. This tank, including wicks, holds slightly under
¾ gallon of lane conditioner when full.
·
WICKING PADS
: Located on the front edge of the oil tank are the six wicking pad
assemblies. Each individual wick sits inside the conditioner tank and draws conditioner
through the wick to pass on to the transfer roller. There are two pads which are
approximately 10 lane boards wide, two pads which are approximately 7 boards wide, and
two pads approximately 3 boards wide. From right to left, these pads shall be referred to
as Right Outside (7 boards), Right Track (3 boards), Right Inside (10 boards), Left Inside
(10 boards), Left Track (3 boards), and Left Outside (7 boards).
·
TRANSFER ROLLER
: Resting against the wicking pads is the conditioner transfer
roller. This stainless steel roller is chain driven and pulls conditioner off the wicking pads
and transfers it onto the buffing brush.
·
BUFFING BRUSH
: Located near the rear wall as you open the buffing lid is the
buffing brush assembly. The belt-driven buffing brush removes conditioner from the
transfer roller and places it onto the lane surface.
