It is assumed that these personnel are familiar with, and have been trained in, the servicing or
installation procedures of these products, which includes the use of common mechanic’s hand tools and
any special Brunswick or recommended tools from other suppliers.
We could not possibly know of and advise the reader of all conceivable procedures by which a service
might be performed and of the possible hazards and/or results of each method. We have not attempted
any such wide evaluation. Therefore, anyone who uses a service procedure and/or tool, which is not
recommended by Brunswick, must rst completely satisfy himself that neither his nor the product’s
safety will be endangered by the service procedure selected.
All information, illustrations and specications contained in this manual are based on the latest product
information available at the time of publication.
It should be kept in mind, while working on the product, that the electrical system is capable of violent
and damaging short circuits or severe electrical shocks. When performing any work where electrical

MAX Operation & Service Manual 17MAX Operation & Service Manual Section 2: Getting to Know the MAX 17
MACHINE FEATURES
The MAX is designed to make lane care easy, reliable, and customized for the needs of individual
bowling centers.
1. Direct + injector technology. We have leveraged the technology of Mercury Marine to
develop a patented injection system with unprecedented precision. Thirty-nine injectors (one for
each board) are independently controlled to deliver precise amounts of conditioner directly to
the lane surface. Oil output is measured in industry-standard “units of oil calculations.”
2. Powerful and rugged tablet. The MAX utilizes a powerful 10.4 inch full color industrial tablet
that monitors operations, tells you when the machine needs maintenance, and uses predictive
analytics to monitor the machines performance. It lets you customize just about every aspect
of operation – from daily schedules, to cleaner patterns, to conditioner volumes and more.
The tablet interface is deliberately simple to use and understand, without extensive training or
instruction.
3. Backup power options. The MAX gives you the ability to switch between a Lithium battery
or the AC/DC Power supply to operate the machine. The MAX uses a smart charger system to
maintain battery life and performance. The MAX comes with a 125 ft. power cable and is quick
to setup. The tablet software monitors the charge and documents the charge cycle. A buzzer
will alert you if the machine is not charging after use.
4. Superior pattern control. The MAX comes pre-programmed with high-performance
conditioner patterns that can be graphically displayed and easily customized. Paired with the
Brunswick Pattern Manager software it is easy to create your own pattern library and transfer
patterns to the machine as well as make backups of the machines log les and data.
5. Easy maintenance. Daily maintenance only takes a matter of a few minutes after each use of
the machine. The MAX tablet will also track and inform you when additional maintenance is
required.

18 MAX Operation & Service Manual18 Section 2: Getting to Know the MAX MAX Operation & Service Manual
New Features
1. Durable top covers. The MAX has dent and crack resistant top covers that are easy to
maintain. Scratches will not be noticeable as the color is throughout the entire thickness of the
covers.
2. Handle controls. The MAX uses a single, durable start button to start the preparation and the
operation of the machine..
3. Tablet Interface. The MAX utilizes a 10.4 inch Android based tablet, making the operation
of the machine more simple and much faster. Pattern downloads take less than 7 seconds.
The tablet is WIFI enabled giving you multiple options from receiving automatic updates and
downloading unlimited patterns to sending logging les. Connect and share information in the
Brunswick Cloud.
4. ARM electronic enclosure. Rugged relays and circuit breaker connections. A new 32-bit ARM
processor for faster processing. The design allows the machine to charge regardless if the power
is ON or OFF.
5. Patented conditioner contamination alarm. The MAX will detect if water or cleaner
is poured into the conditioner tank and prevent the user from operating the machine until
the contamination is cleared from the supply tank. A message will display with the error
information.
6. Simple squeegee adjustment. The design of the squeegee lifting assembly makes the overall
adjustment easier. We have included a new squeegee adjustment tool that ensures the squeegee
contact is correct on the lane surface.
7. Fail-safe travel system. The MAX utilizes two (2) distance counters to improve the
consistency of the travel speed. A sensor may be bypassed in the event one would fail.
8. Cleaner pressure sensor. A pressure sensor in the cleaner manifold will monitor cleaner spray
pressure and will generate an error message if the spray pressure is outside of tolerances.
9. Strong and fast duster motor. The MAX uses a robust motor that has steel gears resulting in
more cycles of the motor.
10. Predictive Analytics. A feature that tracks the lanes per stop and will warn you of potential
issues before they become serious.
11. Blue AC power LED. The LED is used to identify when the lane machine is running on AC
power rather than a DC battery.
12. Brunswick Cloud. Offers you the ability to search for software updates, patterns to use in your
machine, and share logging les for support purposes
