IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING! The following basic safety-related items must be followed in order to
ensure the safe operation of the lane machine. Failure to follow these precautions
could result in serious personal injury, damage to the lane machine, or both.
Read this instruction manual before using this machine.
This machine is to be operated by authorized and adequately instructed
personnel only. Prevent unauthorized use by turning off power, pressing the
emergency stop switch and removing the key when the machine is not in use.
Ensure the pinspotters for the lanes you are conditioning are turned off.
The only authorized use of this machine is to clean and condition the
surface of bowling lanes. DO NOT use for any other purpose.
DO NOT use this machine to pick up hazardous dust such as the residue
from resurfacing lanes.
This lane machine is very heavy. If necessary, obtain the assistance of a
second person when transferring the machine between the operating and
storage positions. Exercise care to prevent the machine from tipping when
moving the machine while it is in the upright position.
ALWAYS operate the lane machine on a dedicated and grounded electrical
circuit of the proper voltage.
Inspect the power cord prior to each use. DO NOT operate this machine
with a damaged power cord or plug.
DO NOT allow the lane machine to run over the power cord.
Unplug and inspect the power cord for damage if the machine runs over the
power cord. Should the power cord become entangled in the machine,
unplug the power cord from the bowling center’s electrical receptacle before
attempting to clear the power cord from the machine.
DO NOT use any other power cord in place of, or in addition to, the one
provided. Replacement power cords are available from Brunswick. (see
Section 7 - Parts of this manual).
Disconnect the power cord when cleaning, replacing parts, or performing
maintenance.
DO NOT operate the lane machine on a lane when someone is working on
the lane or in the vicinity of the pinspotter.
DO NOT operate the lane machine with a hood assembly open or removed
except when required to make adjustments

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION, cont.
DO NOT use flammable or toxic materials in the lane machine. Use only
cleaners and conditioners specifically formulated for use by the bowling
industry.
Avoid splashing liquid when filling the cleaner tank and oil tanks. Follow all
instructions and precautions on the product label. In case of eye contact,
remove any contact lenses and flush with water for 15 minutes.
DO NOT fill the oil tanks on or near the approach. Conditioner spilled on
the approach presents a hazard to the bowler.
DO NOT store machine upright with a full tank of cleaner. Cleaner may leak
out of the tank's air vent hole.
Turn off the machine if foam or liquid exits from the vacuum exhaust.
Be aware of the possibility of the machine continuing onto the approach
when it returns to the foul line. Stay out of the path of machine travel when
the machine is approaching the foul line.
DO NOT wear loose personal items such as neckties, necklaces, bolo ties,
or long hair around rotating machinery.
Keep hands away from solenoid linkages, gears, chains, and belts. These
components can pose a severe pinching hazard.
Exercise caution whenever the hood is open, removed, or when making
adjustments. Some components may become hot during use.
DO NOT modify the machine’s wiring except as specified in Brunswick-
supplied publications.
DO NOT use, clean, or store the machine outdoors and/or in wet conditions.
Use only brushes supplied with this machine or those supplied by Brunswick
for use in this machine.
Ensure all of the machine’s doors are closed and latched before placing the
machine in the storage position.
The possibility exists of a slipping hazard on any wet surface which could
come about by operating, moving, or storing the lane machine.
DO NOT modify any safety apparatus, shield, or electrical components
except by a qualified technician for the sole purpose of adjusting and/or
repair testing the machine. In completing this function all safety aspects
must be restored prior to regular operation
