SECTION I - Introduction
A. Overview
This Lane Cleaning and Conditioning Machine represents
unequaled technology in automated lane care. Clean and
consistent bowling conditions are accomplished through the
use of a "user-friendly" keypad linked to an on-board
programmable computer.
An advanced conditioner metering transfer system,
vacuum cleaning and squeegee system, and a duster system
allow the machine to maintain clean and consistent bowling
conditions in a manner never before possible.
With the expandability of the Programmable Computer,
future upgrades are easily done, assuring that your machine
will not become obsolete.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE OPERATOR
THOROUGHLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS OPERATING
MANUAL BEFORE USING THE MACHINE.
Should you have any questions regarding any procedures
pertaining to the proper operation of this machine, please
contact The Kegel Company, Inc. or your authorized
Distributor.

C. Care and Safety Procedures
This machine is manufactured of the highest quality
materials, but keep in mind that this is a sensitive piece
of equipment. Care should be taken to see that it is not
dropped, knocked around, or handled roughly.
Doing so may damage the programmable computer, its
components, the conditioner transfer system, the Duster
assembly, or the vacuum cleaning and squeegee system.
For care and safety reasons, follow these precautions:
Avoid spilling any liquids or chemicals inside of the
machine.
Do not operate the machine with an extension cord or
power cord other than the one provided.
Make sure that the power outlet used provides the correct
voltage and amps. It must be a clean circuit with no
other loads on it.
Do not attempt to make any wiring modifications.
Do not attempt to re-program the computer.
Do not operate the machine in an upright position.
Always empty the recovery tank before standing the
machine up and transporting it. Failure to empty the
tank will cause the dirty cleaner to either spill out
through the vacuum motor or out of the squeegee when
going over ramps. Then the next time the machine is
started, it will blow cleaner out of the vacuum exhaust.
Not following the above recommendations may cause
damage to the machine, its computer, persons operating it,
or void the warranty.
Persons assigned the responsibility of operating this
equipment should be trained in its use by an authorized
factory-trained Distributor.

D. Theory of Operation
This machine uses proven Kegel “SANCTIONTECHNOLOGY”.
This technology is the precise metering of oil to each board
by volume. This generation of SANCTIONTECHNOLOGY is
greatly improved over the first generation of THE SANCTION
MACHINE. It is much faster and gives more control over the
lengthwise distribution of the oil pattern.
The machine uses one Fluid Metering Pump. The piston
and cylinder are made of ceramic, milled to almost perfect
clearances. The pump has no valves to impair its operation.
The piston revolves as well as reciprocates during
operation.
With the pump rotating at a constant RPM the oil is
pumped at an exact flow rate to a three way valve known as
the Oil Pattern Control Valve. The valve in its OFF state
routes the oil back to the oil tank. When turned ON the
valve routes the oil to a line connected to the Oil Head.
The OIL HEAD travels back and forth across the transfer
system at a constant speed, much like the printer head on a
computer printer. The Oil Pattern Control Valve is then
turned ON and OFF according to the chosen program. This
applies a series of board to board streams of oil onto the
transfer system as the machine travels down the lane.
This stream of oil is a consistent, adjustable, and
measurable amount per board. An example of a common league
condition in the U.S. would be three 2 board to 2 board
streams, followed by two 9 to 9’s, two 10 to 10’s, and four
11 to 11’s as the machine travels down the lane.

Operators Manual
Section 1-4
The total volume amount per board of the pattern can
then be represented by an exact amount.
To do this simply multiply:
1) the value of the amount of oil per board of the oil
stream (done during calibration) by
2) the number of times the stream crossed each board.
Although it is not information that will be used daily,
it is a way of explaining a lane condition in exact terms.
These measurements can be written down and duplicated in the
future. In other words, it defines a lane condition so that
it can be recognized and explained to anyone, much like any
other specification of the bowling lane such as the length
and width.
Anyone who uses this machine and pays attention, will
begin to understand lane conditions like never before.
Simply because all adjustments to the oil pattern are exact
and repeatable. SanctionTechnology is an instrument, not
just a lane machine.

C. Conditioning (Rear) End Components
Located on the Conditioning end of the machine are the
following components:
DISTANCE WHEELS: Located on the outside rear wall of the
conditioning end and mounted on the ends of the lane
distance shaft are the distance wheels. These wheels
measure the distance the machine travels down the lane in
increments of one inch. This is done by an infrared LDS
(Lane Distance Sensor) mounted on the center pillow
block.
CONDITIONER TANK: Mounted to the rear wall on the buffing
end is the conditioner tank assembly. This tank holds
approximately 1-1/4 gallons of lane conditioner when
full. This large capacity allows the machine to operate
for a longer period before refilling. A float located
inside the tank indicates when the conditioner level
drops to approximately 1/4 gallon. A filter is also
located inside the tank.
BUFFING BRUSH LIFT MOTOR: Mounted on the left side of the
rear wall is the buffing brush lift motor. This motor
lifts the buffing brush off the lane. The buffing brush
needs to be lifted at times where conditioner is not
being applied (i.e. from the end of oil through pindeck
during all cleaning cycles). The brush parks in the down
position. The machine should be stored with the brush
down to prevent the transfer rollers from spreading the
fibers too much.
TRANSFER ROLLERS: Mounted below the moving head are the
conditioner transfer rollers. These two stainless steel
rollers are chain driven and transfer conditioner onto
the buffing brush.
TRANSFER ROLLER DRIVE MOTOR: Mounted on the right side of
the rear wall is the transfer roller drive motor. This
motor drives the transfer rollers during conditioning
runs.
