Daily Setup and Operation
Moving & Transporting your Lane Machine
Be careful when moving the machine.
Ramps that are used for moving the machine to and from the approach should also be
“machine friendly”. These ramps should be no less than 12 feet long with no bump on either
end of the transition. Improving these transitions will not only extend the life of your machine,
but can make it easier to transport the machine to and from the approach.
The transition from the gutter to the approach should be as smooth as possible for an easy
entrance and exit for the lane machine. This will prolong the life of the casters as well as other
parts. Better transitions also help in preventing drips of cleaner from falling off the squeegee.
When setting the machine down into the operating position, roll the machine away from you a
foot or two, this will allow the casters to face the best direction for ease of lowering. If using the
lift, do the same thing only pusing it away from the wall prior to hooking the machine up.
Filling the Cleaner supply Tank
1. To fill the Cleaner Supply Tank, the machine should be in the down or operating
position on the lane. Prepare an appropriate mixture of cleaner and water.
Open the splash guard and place a rag beneath the tank. Open the tank cap
and place a rag around the base of the funnel to prevent foam from over-
flowing into the machine.
2. Slowly pour the mixture into the Cleaner Supply Tank using the supplied funnel
until the level in the tank is about 1/2" (1.3 cm) below the top of the tank. This
will prevent an air pocket from forming and blocking the fluid flowing from the
funnel. Replace cap tightly when finished.
NOTE: Always use the funnel supplied with the machine. This funnel has a plastic filter
screen. This screen filters out large debris and trash to prevent this from contaminating
the supply tank and cleaning system.
Not using a funnel with a filter may cause the tank's internal filter to become clogged
frequently and reduce the cleaner output, resulting in inadequate cleaning. This may
lead to customer complaints, ball calls and an excess of out-of-range pins. When
necessary, the supply tank can be removed for cleaning.
Do not spill cleaner on the electrical components. Spills may cause a "short", which
may send a false signal to the PLC causing improper operation. A wet switch may
also produce a dim LED light on the PLC.
Any spills or drops of cleaner onto the approach should be wiped up immediately!
Any spills on the machine can stain the paint and make the machine ugly.
Ugly machines do not run as well as clean, sharp, and highly maintained machines.
