2.1 General Safety Guidelines and Symbols
QubicaAMF feels strongly about its commitment to safety. Proper service and repair are
important to the safety of the mechanic as well as the safe, reliable operation of the
pinspotters.
Please read, understand, and follow all of the recommended safety procedures presented in
this manual.
The service procedures recommended and described in this technical manual are effective
methods of performing service and repair. Some of these procedures require the use of tools
specially designed for this purpose.
Properly trained personnel should be present whenever maintenance is being performed
on a pinspotter.
No unauthorized personnel should be allowed in the pit area.
Keep in mind that the XLiEDGE QubicaAMF pinspotter performs a series of mechanical
motions and electrical actions during each cycle, and that SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR
DEATH could result should personnel enter the machine when power is on. When
working in a pinspotter, it is recommended that power also be turned off on adjacent
machines.
Remember that safety must remain your first priority at all times.
The sound pressure level (LpA) in the area of the control chassis (operator’s station)
during bowling activities is in excess of 80 dBA. Hearing protection is recommended.
Safety goggles, ear protection, and steel-toed shoes are recommended whenever any
work is being performed on a pinspotter.
Wearing loose clothing or jewelry is NOT RECOMMENDED when operating or
maintaining the machinery.
Do not attempt to clear pin jams with a pin hook without first turning off power to the
pinspotter.
It is important to note that this manual contains various symbols and wording that provide
information that must be carefully followed in order to reduce the risk of personal injury
during service or repair, or that warn of the possibility that improper service or repair may
damage the pinspotter or render it unsafe.
Additionally, the XLi EDGE QubicaAMF pinspotter has a number of built-in features and
components as well as various warning labels that are designed to minimize and warn against
the risks associated with this equipment. Heed all warnings and do not defeat the safety
features that come with your pinspotters. Never place the machine into service with any of
the guards removed. Some of the warning labels you may observe on the pinspotter are
shown on the following pages.

2.2 Safety Procedures and Precautions
1. PLACE THE SWEEP IN THE 1ST GUARD POSITION AND DISCONNECT THE POWER PLUG
before working on any pinspotter equipment and before entering any portion of a
pinspotter. FOR ENTRY INTO A PINSPOTTER, THE ADJACENT (PAIRED) PINSPOTTER MUST
BE ISOLATED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE PINSPOTTER BEING ACCESSED. Follow your
center’s established lock-out and tag-out procedures.
A lock-out device should be placed over the power connector to prevent power from
being applied to the machine during maintenance or repair. Refer to Figure 2-1 for
machine power connector locations.
For pinspotter installations equipped with the XLi EDGE SmartGuard™ Safety System,
refer to the XLi EDGE SmartGuard™ Safety System Manual, 400-088-092, for specific
information relating to electrical isolation requirements when entering the machine.
2. Be sure all safety guards are securely in place before operating a pinspotter.
3. Wait a minimum of 60 seconds after disconnecting the power plug before opening the
chassis or contacting any electrically charged pinspotter components.
4. NEVER alter pinspotter safety mechanisms or wiring.
