2. Oil levels
The oil levels screen allows you to create the shape and levels of the conditioner pattern in
units of oil. Minimum and maximum levels range from 0 to 100 units. To create the proper
lengthwise taper of a pattern, oil levels, from zone to zone, should decrease between 15% and
30%. This is the same for sport and recreational patterns. The percent decrease from zone
to zone depends on the starting oil level in the rst zone. If the rst zone conditioner level is
lower (60 units or less) the percentage decrease in the following zones will be smaller and if
the rst zone conditioner level is higher (above 60 units), the percentage of decrease is higher.
The last zone or buff zone should have 1 to 3 units set in the oil level screen on at least one
board. This allows the machine to buff the remaining zone of the pattern, in both directions,
without injecting conditioner and enhance the lengthwise taper. Set all boards for zero (0) and
the machine will buff the last zone in the forward direction of travel only. This increases the
lengthwise taper even more. Refer to Figure8-4.
