Operators Manual
Section 4-42
6. System Control Buffer
This series of screens will be used to adjust the
distance on the lane in forward or reverse, where the
buffing brush is lifted or set down.
Depress the MENU key until the following screen appears:
* SYSTEM CONTROL
BUFFER
Depress the
NEXT
key and the following will appear:
BUFF UP STP DELY
00 TENTHS 00
The machine is designed to allow the operator to stop
the machine at the end of the oil pattern and lift the
buffing brush for a defined oil line. We recommend that
this be left at 00 because it is easier on the drive system,
and it allows a short feathering out of the oil pattern.
This prompt displays the amount of time the machine will
be stopped prior to continuing down the lane. Use the UP or
DOWN ARROW to change the number on the right side of the
screen. If you want a clean defined oil line, then set this
variable to 04 or 05. Less will not give the clean line and
more is a waste of valuable time.
What must be done here is really up to the
interpretation of your local ABC lane inspection
representative. It depends on where they choose to take the
graphs of the oil pattern. If the representative insists on
taking the tape in the last 12” of the pattern, you will
need to enter a stop delay value so the machine has a clean
line for them to measure from.
