The Bufng Operation
1. During the forward travel of the bufng operation, the machine disperses the conditioner on the
lane surface and buffs it, then continues its return travel to the foul line. Refer to Figure7-6.
a. The buffer brush lowers at the selected starting pattern distance and begins rotating.
b. The dispersion roller, rotating in the same direction as the buffer brush, contacts the buffer
brush and blends the conditioner amongst the bristles through side-to-side oscillation.
c. When the machine reaches the end of the selected conditioning pattern distance, the
control system stops the rotation of the buffer brush and dispersion roller. It turns on the
buffer lift motor and raises the brush up and out of contact from the lane as the machine
continues its travel to the pin deck when in the “Clean and Oil” mode.
