INTRODUCTION TO HIGHWAY 66
What Makes up the Highway 66 System
The structure of the Highway 66 system is based on a wooden truss foundation
with prefabricated lanes. The lane surface is of a hard-wearing synthetic material,
designed to withstand the most extreme operating conditions and providing the
operator with the minimum amount of maintenance.
Suspended above the Highway 66 lanes are the scoring display modules which
control the display on each lane.
Located at the furthest end of the playing surface is the masking unit used to hide
the machines. The graphic panels inserted into these units may vary from
installation to installation and even lane to lane. With a multitude of graphic
panels available, every decor has its match.
Located at the rear of the unit, behind the masking units, are the pinsetters which
operate in conjunction with the coin mechanism; activated by the introduction of
the correct amount of money.
Note
The pinsetters are supplied to operate on 240 volts, 50/60 cycles, single phase.
The electrical supply lines must conform to all electrical codes and it is the
responsibility of the proprietor to supply power to all the electrical components
necessary for the normal function of the pinsetters.

INTRODUCTION TO HIGHWAY 66
Safety Information
Use of common sense and industry experience are key factors which one should utilize
whenever operating electromechanical equipment. As with all machinery, there is an
element of risk if the rules of safety are disregarded. Training in the operation of this
equipment is available. Schools in the equipment’s use and operation are held on a
regular basis. It is the responsibility of the attendant to provide his or her own travel,
lodging and school expenses. Anyone interested in attending a factory training school
should contact their local QubicaAmf sales or service representative.
1. Always open the circuit breaker or disconnect the power plug from the electrical
box before looking for, and clearing, any problem.
2. Always reach over and around the equipment assemblies, never through or
between the components.
3. Avoid the use of cleaners that are toxic.
4. Immediately wipe up any oil or liquids that have spilled to prevent slipping.
5. Store oily rags and any other combustibles in a fireproof container.
6. The mechanic / maintenance person must teach all personnel who will work on
the equipment enough about the equipment to prevent accidents through
ignorance.
7. Under no circumstances allow an unqualified person to work on the equipment.
8. Use the right tool for each job to prevent injury to yourself and to the
equipment. Remove all tools from the equipment before turning it on.
9. Wear the proper clothing when working on the equipment. Do not wear neckties
or loose clothing that may be caught by the equipment. Wear trousers without
cuffs to prevent tripping. Wear shoes with safety, non-slip soles.
10. When more than one person is working on the equipment, never turn on the
equipment without checking to see if everyone is clear of the equipment.
11. When the safety guards are removed from the equipment, be extra cautious
when the equipment is turned on. Replace the guards immediately when the
work is completed.

1. Highway 66 Fundamentals
Chapter Overview
This chapter provides an overview of your Highway 66 machine. After
reading this chapter you should be able to identify the major components
of your Highway 66 and understand the basic principles of the machine’s
operation.

HIGHWAY 66 FUNDAMENTALS
Major Components and Assemblies
There are a number of different assemblies which make up your Highway 66 machine,
and each performs its own function.
When the unit is turned on, the pins are set on the lane and the pinsetter is placed in a ball
one situation. Let’s begin by taking a look at operation of your Highway 66 as it goes
through a game. With ten pins set on the lane, the bowler rolls the first ball.
Ball Detector
As the ball rolls down the lane, it will cross (cut) the ball detector's infrared light beam.
The ball detector's transmitter is placed at the bottom of the kickbacks. On the opposite
side of the lane, facing the transmitter is a reflector which returns the infra red light beam
to the ball detector's transmitter. Basically, the ball detector has only one function, it
triggers or starts the Highway 66’s various operations when its signal is cut by a passing
ball. It is important, then, that the ball detector be sensitive enough so that, regardless of
the speed of the passing ball, it is able to detect it.
Pit
Located at the rear of each lane's pin deck is the pit which is slanted to the inside of the
pair of lanes in order to direct the ball to the ball elevator. Above the pit, the cushion
absorbs the impact of the bowling ball.
As the ball leaves the playing area of the lane, its forward momentum carries it across the
pit until it strikes the pit cushion, which is suspended across the rear of the pit. Both the
ball and the knocked down pins come to rest in the pit.
From the pit, the ball needs to be returned to the bowler. So far its forward motion has
been stopped by the pit cushion and it has rolled into the trough located behind the pit.
Ball Elevator
To return the ball to the bowler, the ball moves through the ball elevator. The ball
elevator is fastened to the floor between each pair of pinsetters. Using a simple conveyor
system, the ball is raised to a level above the pinsetters and then propelled by gravity to
the front ball return rack located at the bowler's end of the lane.
The ball lift conveyor is powered by a ½ hp capacitor start electric motor mounted on the
motor support bracket at the top of the ball lift's frame. The power generated by the motor
is relayed to the conveyor's chains through the pulley on the motor shaft, the drive belt,
the drive pulley, and the drive wheel. The motor support bracket is adjustable to obtain
constant pressure on the drive belt.
