PERATION
The Operation of the Options Ball Lift is very simple. The Ball Lift starts when you start
either of the two associated pinspotters, and will continue to run for 30 seconds after
both pinspotters are turned off to allow any bowling balls in transit to pass through the
lift and return to the ball rack.

AFETY
There is a safety switch built into the Ball Lift to protect against someone placing a
hand inside the lift and having it grabbed by the V-wheel and pulled further into
the machinery. The switch is actuated by a guard that when moved from its
normal position will actuate the safety switch stopping the Ball Lift.
EVEN THOUGH
THIS SAFETY SWITCH IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT INJURY, NEVER PLACE A
HAND INSIDE THE MECHANISM WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
A moving bowling ball contains a considerable amount of energy and can
appear at the outlet opening of the Ball Lift with little or no warning. Keep
hands away from the exit opening to prevent injury.
There are two urethane transition pads at the mouth of the Ball Lift’s exit opening.
When adjusted properly, these pads reduce the forward momentum and rotation of
the ball so that it enters the rack section with minimal energy. The task that these
pads must perform has been compounded by the advent of new bowling ball
materials and technology. These pads must be adjusted to assure that the lightest
bowling balls as well as the new “reactive” bowling balls exit the lift satisfactorily. A
slick, oil coated, heavy bowling ball may still have significant momentum after exiting
the Ball Lift. For this reason,
a pinching hazard can exist when two bowling balls
come together on the rack.
KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF THE BALL RACK UNTIL THE
RETURNING BALL COMES TO REST.

ONTROLS
Ball Lift operation is normally controlled by the operation of its associated pinspotters.
Whenever either pinspotter is in operation, the Ball Lift is in operation.
When both
pinspotters are turned off, the Ball Lift turns off after a 30-second time delay, which
allows any bowling balls that have been played to return to the ball rack.
The Ball Lift can also be controlled manually through the operation of the two 10
th
frame
push buttons and the mechanic call push button on the end of the ball rack. Normally,
when any one of these buttons is pressed, it initiates the operation of the associated
equipment; that is, the 10
th
frame switches cause the associated pinspotter to spot or
respot pins, and the mechanic call button turns on a light, (optional pit signal or XLi
chassis is needed) alerting the center mechanic to an equipment problem. Operating the
three push buttons simultaneously in various combinations, however, causes the Ball Lift
to function in a completely manner as described below and summarized in Table 1.
