Design a Conditioner Pattern
Pattern design with the MAX has become a lot easier.
1. Zone conguration
The zone conguration allows you to design patterns with a minimum of one zone to a
maximum of eight zones. Zone lengths can range from 3 feet to 57 feet. Recreational patterns
can vary from 3 zones to 5 zones with zone lengths from 8 feet to 12 feet. The last zone in the
pattern should always be a buff zone to help optimize the lengthwise taper of the pattern. Adjust
the cleaner transition so the volume of cleaner reduces at least two feet into the last zone. Sport
and competitive patterns utilize 5 to 8 zones with zone lengths ranging from 5 feet to 10 feet.
Again, the last zone should be a buff zone. The end cleaner spray should be adjusted 45-50 feet
to properly clean the lane. Refer to Figure8-3.
