Verifying The Conditioner Pattern
Verication of the conditioner pattern is a step used to qualify the pattern you are using. It allows you
to see that the MAX is consistently producing a conditioner pattern based on what is programmed in
the Pattern Design screens. It also allows you to identify wear components such as, the absorbent wiper,
squeegee, or buffer brush. All of which can have an effect on the units of oil and the performance of a
pattern as they have exceeded their life. To verify the conditioner pattern follow these steps.
1. Verify that the machine is cleaning properly before performing the verication process.
2. Select the zone or zones you wish to verify.
3. After running a few lanes, take a tape sample of the conditioner pattern, one foot before the end
of that zone (i.e. zone #2 ends at 15 feet, tape distance is 14 feet).
4. Read the tape using the Brunswick Computer Lane Monitor.
5. Compare the lane monitor readings to the programmed units of oil in the tablet.
Adjusting The Conditioner Pattern
The MAX allows you to make adjustments to specic area of the conditioner pattern without having to
make unnecessary adjustments to the rest of the pattern. Adjustments to the conditioner pattern should
be made based on ball reaction. The ball reaction should be observed when the pattern is fresh and as it
transitions as lineage increases. If the pattern transition is not as desired, refer to the follow procedure
for making adjustments.
1. Identify the area of the pattern that is not performing properly.
2. Go to the pattern library and view the Zone Conguration and Oil Levels screens.
3. Select the zone that corresponds with the area of the lane that needs adjustments.
4. Make adjustments to the zone length or to the oil levels to change the pattern transition.
5. Download the pattern.
6. If the pattern adjustments are successful, upload the pattern to your private cloud account or to
Pattern Manager.
