3 I. Installation of Front-End Assembly Before proceeding with the front end installation, make sure that the 7-10 line is marked on the tops of the kickbacks. 1. Installation of the UNISTRUT. Position the Unistrut in the center of the Kick Back and fix it with 6X40 countersunk screws. (Pilot-drill the holes for the screws). 2. Installation of the Unistrut hardware (See Fig. 1). a. After placing the Rectangle nut in the Unistrut, install all the Mounting s for the brackets. (reference should be made to the 7-10 line marked on the Kickback) b. Make a template to locate the mounting bolts so they line up with the brackets on the Front-End frame, (See Fig 1 (a)), using 7-10 line on kickbacks for reference. Fix the large washers and nuts in turn. Put a nut on the bolt and screw it down until it is approximately 5mm from the first nut. Put on a washer. Repeat this on all 4 mounting bolts for each machine. 3. Installation of Front-End Assembly (See Fig. 1) a. Lower the Front-End onto the mounting bolts. Make sure that the rear brackets are fixed to the mounting bolts as the machine is heavier in the front and may topple if left unsupported. b. If any of the mounting bolts do not line up with the holes on 1 of 30

4 the machine brackets, slacken the locking nut at the unistrut and re-position it. c. Adjust the nuts on the mounting bolts to make the distance from the top of the pindeck to the underside of the Front-End frame 482mm (19 inches). From the top of the pindeck to the top of the upper frame should be 965mm. The side frames of the Front End should be parallel with the kickbacks. The Front End must be centralized between the kickbacks. When the adjustments have been completed, fasten all nuts. (See Fig. 1) 2 of 30

5 Lane Surface Jack Screw Frame Washer Mounting Large washer rectangle nut Unistrut Nut Countersunk Fig. 1 II. Installation of Back-End Assembly (See Fig. 1) PBL installations. On PBL systems, it is recommended that the ball door weldments be fixed to the metal kickbacks of the Back-Ends before they are positioned behind the Front-End. It is also easier to install the Rudder Drive pulley and the Belt Tensioner (BL ) at this time. 3 of 30

6 FASTRACK installations. Before installing Back Ends, refer to the first paragraph of the FASTRACK installation guide. 1. Move the Back-End to the rear of the lane. (The machines are different for left and right hand lanes). This will be made easier if the jack screw floor plates are already in position, allowing the Back End to ski on the floor. 2. Using the four jack screws, level the Back-End and maintain a distance of 10mm. from the top of the metal kickback to the top of the Front-End frame. (See Fig. 1.) 3. The Front-End and Back-End should be bolted together with the 10mm. spacer between them. Ensure that the bolts are tight. 4. Make sure that the Back Ends are centralized between the wooden kickbacks and that the metal kickbacks can not come into contact with bowling balls or pins which enter the pit area from the gutters. On a typical installation, there should be a step of at least 5mm. from the wooden kickback fibre to the metal kickback on each side. 5. When the height of the Fastrack has been determined, the second Back End of the pair of lanes can be installed in the same way as the first, and should be made level with it. 5. The jack screw floor plates should be installed now, if not 4 of 30

7 already in situ, and the jack screws should be locked in position using the socket head cap screws provided. The jack screws should be rotated until the slots align with the cap screws. Tighten the cap screws. 6. If any packing has been used to raise the Back Ends, this should be glued or fixed to the floor, and the jack screw floor plates screwed to it to eliminate any risk of movement in the future. III. Installation of the Back-End Gearbox bracket (See Fig. 2). 1. Fix the gearbox brackets to the left and right metal kick backs with M8 20 countersunk head screws, washers, nuts. Then fasten the bolts. 2. Install the V-belt between the gearbox pulley and the pin elevator wheel. 5 of 30

Install the V-belt between the gearbox and the Idler Assembly, and from the Idler assembly to Idler assembly shaft. 5. Clip one end of the tension spring onto the Idler Arm, and fix the other end onto the bracket of the gearbox. Note: Ignore Step 4 for the PBL ball return system. 6 of 30

9 IV. Installation of Distributor (See Fig. 3) Frame of Bin Support Fig Align the Pin Elevator wheel so there are no pin holder triangles to get in the way of the Distributor. Slide the thrust washers supplied with the distributor down the support tube. Grease the Distributor support tube. Install the Distributor on the support tube. Ensure that the distributor is in the zero position, ie. Pointing to # 1 pin. (Check alignment of clutch pinion #1 mark with corresponding mark on index cam #1). Extend front carriage of distributor towards #1 pin. 2. Connect the Safety Link assembly and install the spring (BL02A ). Then connect the spring (BL02A ). Check that the Orientor Pan is level using a spirit level. Adjustment can be made at the 2 slotted holes on the Distributor support bracket. 3. Connect Distributor drive shaft to the gearbox. Start the Back End motor and check the alignment of the distributor towards 7 of 30

10 #1 pin feeding position. Lateral adjustment can be made by changing the length of the Safety Link. 4. Manually step distributor to the 7, 8, 9 and 10 pin feeding positions and check for clearance between the belt guard and the Bin, in particular between the 8 and 9 positions, where there is the switch actuator for the Bin Switch. If there is insufficient clearance, shims or washers should be placed between the Distributor support and the crossmember. 5. Adjust the Orientor Pan to be around 6-10mm. from the Pin Elevator Wheel. Check that there is no contact between the Pin Wheel and the Distributor in all feeding positions. 6. When the machine is running with pins, check that the pins are coming out of the Pin Wheel easily and without stalling and that the speed of the pins leaving the Pin Wheel is not excessive, causing them to wobble, or even fall off the orienting pan. Adjust the pin guide rail (BL A/B-01 RH/LH) to improve the transfer process. The pin seating rod (BL02A-10-03) and the pin ejector (BL02A A/B LH/RH) should be adjusted for best performance. 8 of 30

11 V. Installation of Switch Box and Wire Channel 1. the switch box bracket to the gearbox mounting bracket at the bottom and to the short shaft at the top. 2. Clip a tension spring between the spring hanger of the Tensioner Arm and the short shaft. (See Fig. 4) Short Shaft Switch Box Spring Bracket of Gearbox Mounting Plate Tensioner Arm Fig Install the short wireway on the support with the opening facing the switch box and fix with screws, washers and nuts. 9 of 30

12 Screw Screw Cover Cover Long Wire Channel Short Wire Channel Short Shaft Fig The long wireways between the Front Ends and the Back Ends (LH/RH) are bolted to the short wireway 5. After completion of all wiring, install all the wireway covers. (See Fig. 5) 10 of 30

13 VI. Installation of the Mounting Board of Chassis (See Fig. 6) Chassis countersunk head screws Mounting Bracket Mounting Plate Mounting Plate countersunk head M8x25 Cover Plate Mounting Bracket Frame Frame Fig Install the Mounting Bracket to the frame and fasten them with bolts, washers and nuts. 2. Install the Mounting Plate on the bracket and fasten it with countersunk head screws, washers and nuts. (Install the longer board on the ball return side and the shorter one on the right machine.) 3. Fix the chassis to the mounting plate. 11 of 30

14 VII. Installation of Ball Return System Installation of FASTRACK Ball Exit system. 1. Before the installation of the Back Ends, it is important to determine the correct height of the Fastrack in relation to the ball track. When one of the Back Ends has been positioned and fixed, bring the Fastrack which will be installed with this Back End and adjust the height of the castor wheels on the underside of the unit so that a smooth transition exists between the exit of the Fastrack and the start of the Ball Track.. Make sure that the Fastrack is level front to back and side to side. 1.1 When the height of the Fastrack has been decided, look into the Ball Door of the first Back End which has been fixed in position and make sure that there is a slight drop from the Ball Door Ring on the Back End onto the Door Ring on the Fastrack.. The height of the Back End may have to be altered to achieve this condition. Each Installation is different, but the guidelines in the Lane Installation Manual should be followed to ensure that every installation is the same, and that optimum performance can be expected in every case. 1.2 When the second Back End has been levelled and fixed, the Fastrack can be pushed back into position and the sliding locking bolts (2 on each side) adjusted individually so that the Fastrack can be locked in position. The various cables can 12 of 30

15 now be connected to the Fastrack s control box., taking care not to allow the cabling to come into contact with any moving parts. Fastrack Frame Pin Rear Wheel Front Wheel Pin Fig Installation of PBL 2.1 Install the Belt Tensioner assembly ( ) before the Back Ends are in position. The flat part of the shaft should be aligned with the grub screw on the housing. The center of the double pulley should be 41.5 mm from the metal kickback. Tighten the grub screw onto the flat part of the shaft. The rubber tube should then be installed on the part of the shaft which is exposed on the inside of the machine. (See Fig 8.) 13 of 30

Install the Ball Lift assembly. Put the upper shaft of ball lift assembly into the upper U weldments on the metal kickbacks. Pass the LH and RH A112 V-belts respectively. Put the lower shaft of the Ball Lift into the lower U weldments. (See Fig 11.) Insert the Clamp Studs into the U weldments, but don t tighten 15 of 30

18 them. Centralise the Ball Lift assembly between Track Rails, making use of the eccentric shafts if necessary, and tighten the nuts on the clamp studs. The distance between the Ball Lift belt and the Track Rail should be between 115mm and 140mm. at the top. Place a ball in the ball door and adjust the height of the Ball lift to maintain 6~7mm.from the belt to the ball. This is done by changing the height of the rubber stop bumpers on the metal kickbacks. When all adjustments are completed, fasten all the nuts. 2.6 Fit the Z 43 V- belt between the clutch and the pulley of the ball lift assembly. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the Lever Arm Weldment, the other end to the clutch. The typical length of the connecting rod is 420 mm, but should be adjusted so that the rubber liners on the Tongue are 5mm. above the level of the Ball Door plates. Tighten all nuts.
