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.

DBA LaneWalker Model C Operating Manual ·Page 7
D. Duster End Components
Descriptions are given when looking into this compartment from the front wall of the
LaneWalker. The following components are located under the lid on the duster end of the
LaneWalker:
· LIFTING DUSTER ASSEMBLY: Located nearest the operator across the duster
end is the patented DMR (Dual Motor Ratcheting) duster cloth assembly. The DMR
assembly operates by means of two duster motors: the first which unwinds cloth; and the
second which winds up used cloth onto the used core. This dual action simulates that of a
ratcheting duster, helping to eliminate dirt lines during a conditioning run. The system also
better controls cloth usage, and has no clutch mechanism to adjust.
The LaneWalker should ALWAYS be operated with duster cloth in the machine!
This will prevent excess dirt and dust build up on the wicking pads and the lane. Operating
without cloth will also cause unnecessary drag on the LaneWalker and its motors.
The LaneWalker can use DBA Red Edge Cloth #8443 or #8441.
Approximately 1-1/2” to 1-3/4” of cloth is used per lane
depending on the distance of travel.
· DUSTER UNWIND MOTOR: Mounted on the far left hand side of the duster
assembly is the duster unwind motor. This motor supplies fresh duster cloth before the
LaneWalker travels down the lane.
· DUSTER WIND-UP MOTOR: Mounted on the far right hand side of the duster
assembly is the duster wind-up motor. This motor takes up the used cloth and lifts the
cushion roller off the lane.
· PROGRAMMABLE COMPUTER: Located near the center of the duster end is the
LaneWalker Programmable Computer (PC).
WARNING: The PC contains a Lithium battery. When it is replaced, the old battery
should be discarded in accordance with local regulations.
· DRIVE MOTOR: On the left side of the duster end is the drive motor. This two-
speed motor drives the LaneWalker up and down the lane and onto the approach. The
drive motor also drives the transfer roller.
· LANE-TO-LANE MOTOR: Mounted on the outer right side of the duster end is the
lane-to-lane motor. This motor drives the LaneWalker on the approach from one lane to
the next.

DBA LaneWalker Model C Operating Manual ·Page 8
· BUFFING MOTOR: Just to the left of the lane-to-lane motor is the buffing motor.
This motor drives the buffing brush.
· PC POWER SUPPLY: Located just to the left of the buffing motor is the
PC Power Supply. This power supply converts 115V AC into the 24V DC needed to
operate the PC.
· SPEED CONTROLS: Located between the PC and the PC Power Supply is the
Drive Motor Speed Control Assembly. The trimpot nearest the Power Supply is the HIGH
Speed Control, and the trimpot nearest the PC is the LOW Speed Control. The LOW
Speed Pot regulates the motor speed as the LaneWalker moves from the lane onto the
approach. The HIGH Speed Pot regulates the speed of travel on the lane surface itself.
This control is normally set at its highest speed, but can be used to slow down the Drive
Motor to achieve more “buffs per foot”, thus creating a different conditioning pattern.
· BUFFING MOTOR CONTACTOR: Just in front of the PC Power Supply is the
Buffing Motor Contactor. When actuated under power, it will operate the buffing motor.
· POWER CORD HOLDER: Mounted on the center wall is the power cord holder.
The holder can be swiveled either to the right or left side of the machine depending on
the direction in which lanes are being conditioned.
· POWER CORD SHUT-DOWN SWITCHES: Mounted on both the right and left
outside walls of the duster end are the power cord shut-down switches. Under normal
operation, the power cord holder will rest on one of these switches. In the event the cord is
stepped on, or caught on a foul light or capping, the cord holder will actuate the switch,
immediately shutting down the machine.
· WICKING SOLENOIDS: Mounted on the center wall across the duster end from
right to left are the six wicking solenoids. Each solenoid controls one wicking pad. The
pads are designated as Right Outside, Right Track, Right Inside, Left Inside, Left Track,
Left Outside.

DBA LaneWalker Model C Operating Manual ·Page 9
E. Underside Components (Bottom)
Located on the underside of the LaneWalker are the following components:
· DRIVE SHAFT: Located toward the center of the bottom, close to the duster cloth
assembly is the drive shaft. This shaft is driven by the drive motor. An infra-red sensor
mounted near the drive sprocket indicates the position of the walking wheels.
· DRIVE WHEELS: Mounted on the drive shaft approximately ¼ of the way in from
the side walls are the two drive wheels. These wheels are powered by the drive shaft and
drive the LaneWalker up and down the lane.
· WALKING WHEELS: Located on each end of the buffing brush are two of the
walking wheels; two additional walking wheels are located on end of the drive shaft. The
walking wheels move the LaneWalker off the lane surface and onto the approach area.
· LANE-TO-LANE WHEELS: Located on the far right and far left side, near the
buffing brush, are the lane-to-lane wheels. The left-side lane-to-lane wheel is chain-driven
by the lane-to-lane motor and moves the LaneWalker from one lane to the next. The other
lane-to-lane wheel (on the right side) counts the distance traveled on the approach with an
infra-red sensor.
· LANE-TO-LANE CASTERS: Located toward the bottom of the underside, slightly
to the middle are two lane-to-lane casters. These casters stabilize the LaneWalker as it is
driven from one lane to the next by the lane-to-lane wheels.
· GUIDE ROLLERS: Located on either side of the drive shaft are four UHMW guide
rollers. These spring-loaded rollers help guide the machine as it travels on the lane.

DBA LaneWalker Model C Operating Manual ·Page 10
Section III · Pre-Installation Suggestions
Preparation of the Bowling Lanes
Prior to operating the LaneWalker for the first time, it is highly recommended that a
thorough inspection of the bowling lane and approach area take place. All loose foul lights,
divisions, cappings and adapter blocks should be tightened, repaired or replaced.
The machine is equipped with a shut-down switch in the event the power cord gets
caught on loose items. However, continued operation of the LaneWalker on improperly
prepared lanes could cause damage or malfunction. Please contact your Distributor
should you need assistance with repair or replacement of these items.

DBA LaneWalker Model C Operating Manual ·Page 11
Section IV · Operating Instructions
A. Turning the Unit On
Carefully set the LaneWalker in the operating position on the approach. Line up the
machine on the approach so that the side walls will enter the lane area an equal distance
or flush with the foul lights on both sides. The LaneWalker should be completely on the
approach, with the duster end being approximately 3 to 4 feet behind the foul line.
Connect the power cord to the LaneWalker, and attach the cord to the power cord
holder. The power cord holder should be swiveled to the side of the LaneWalker which will
be opposite the direction of travel from lane to lane. For example, if you are conditioning
lanes from left to right, the cord should be located on the left side of the machine. Be
certain that the power cord holder is resting correctly on top of the shut-down switch on the
side being used.
Connect the power cord into a suitable outlet. MAKE SURE THAT THE OUTLET IS
SUPPLYING THE CORRECT VOLTAGE AND AMP RATING. Connecting the power cord
into an outlet located towards the center lanes of the establishment will allow more lanes to
be conditioned without changing outlets. The 180 foot power cord supplied with the
LaneWalker will allow 48 lanes to be conditioned without changing outlets.
(To accomplish conditioning 48 lanes the LaneWalker should be plugged into an outlet at
approximately Lane 20. This will allow enough cord to be placed out of the LaneWalkers
path as it conditions lanes 1-20.)
Open the buffing end lid of the LaneWalker and turn the power switch to the correct
position, pointed toward the direction of travel. Both the green LED and the menu screen
on the keypad will illuminate indicating power to the machine. Now the LaneWalker is
ready to run.
B. Menu Selections And Options
The operation of the DBA LaneWalker is controlled by a series of selectable
programs located within the memory of the programmable computer. These programs and
settings may be changed or modified by following a simple sequence of prompts within the
available menus displayed on the keypad. This section will lead the operator step-by-step
through each menu and prompts.
The LaneWalker PC is equipped with a Lithium 5-year rated battery for back-up and
retention of information which is input into the memory. Dispose of used battery properly.
To make this section easily understandable, the operator should be familiar with the
keypad as detailed in Section II of this manual.

C. Keypad Display
The keypad display is a two line LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). During operation and
selection of programs, various prompts, which are simply questions or data requests, will
appear in the display, along with possibly some numbers. The prompts will request the
operator to input or change data or information within the selecting menu. The numbers
will display conditioning program numbers, distances (feet) or “counts”. What the prompts
and numbers mean for each menu is explained under each menu heading in this section.
When the numbers appear, there will often be two numbers, both the same,
displayed in the LCD. When this occurs, both numbers refer to the current setting for that
particular prompt. When changing the setting with the use of the UP or DOWN ARROWS,
only the number on the right side of the display will change. The number on the left will
remain at the previous setting until the ENTER key is pressed, at which time both numbers
will change to the new setting.
THE FOLLOWING MENU SELECTIONS
CAN BE ACCESSED BY THE OPERATOR
1. Operator’s Menu
The Operators Menu will display the time remaining on the current duster cloth roll,
the conditioning program being used, and allow the operator to select the starting and
ending lane number. The LaneWalker is also started from this menu.
Once the LaneWalker is turned on, OPERATORS MENU will appear on the two-line
LCD of the keypad. Also appearing will be a four digit number on the left hand side of the
second line. This number designates the number of lanes of usable cloth remaining on the
current duster roll. It will appear similar to the following:
* OPERATORS MENU *
0045 MENU LW4.2
The “0045” means that approximately 45 lanes are left on the current roll of cloth.
The “4.2” refers to the program version of Kegel ThoughtWare currently installed in the
LaneWalker PC.

DBA LaneWalker Model C Operating Manual ·Page 15
To begin operation of the LaneWalker, press NEXT on the keypad. The following
prompt will appear:
STARTING LANE ?
00 00
The LaneWalker is asking the operator to input the starting lane number. Also
appearing in the LCD Display will be two numbers, one on the lower left side and one on
the lower right side. These numbers indicate the starting lane number the last time the
LaneWalker was operated. If these numbers are not the starting lane numbers for this
conditioning run, they must be changed.
To change the starting lane number, push either the UP ARROW or DOWN
ARROW. The number on the lower right hand side of the LCD will change, while the
number on the left side will remain the same. (The left number will always remain the
same while the right number is being changed until the ENTER key is depressed.)
NOTE: When entering the starting lane number, depressing the Left Arrow key on
the keypad will automatically input “Lane #1” as the starting lane. Depressing the Right
Arrow key will input the number of the last lane in the center.
Once you have reached the desired starting lane number, press ENTER. Now both
the right and left side numbers should be the same as the new starting lane number you
selected. If this is correct, depress the NEXT key.
The following prompt will appear:
LAST LANE ?
00 00
Now you must input the number of the last lane to be conditioned. Appearing with
the above prompt will again be two numbers, this time displaying the number of the last
lane conditioned during the previous run of the LaneWalker. If these numbers are
incorrect, you must enter the correct number. Using the UP or DOWN ARROWS again,
change the number to the number desired. Once again, only the right side number will
change.
NOTE: When entering the last lane number, depressing the Left Arrow key on the
keypad will automatically input “Lane #1” as the starting lane. Depressing the Right Arrow
key will input the number of the last lane in the center.

DBA LaneWalker Model C Operating Manual ·Page 16
Once you reach the desired number, depress ENTER, and both numbers will
change to the one you selected. If this is correct, depress the NEXT key.
At this point, this prompt will appear:
RUN LAST PROGRAM
01 24 01
Along with this prompt, the starting lane number, last lane number and conditioning
program number will appear in the LCD. (The example above shows the LaneWalker
starting on lane #1, ending on lane #24, and applying conditioning program #1.)
If the starting and ending lane information is incorrect, depress the LAST key until
you return to the starting and ending lane number prompts. If the conditioner program is
incorrect, it will be necessary to access the Managers Menus to change the program
selection. Once all information is acceptable, depress the START key and the LaneWalker
will begin its operation. (IMPORTANT! The “ENTER” key MUST be depressed to accept
starting and ending lane information, even if new starting and ending lane numbers are not
