• Diagnostics - While in this mode the pinsetter will run a continuous cycle until the user
exits the mode or a pinsetter error condition occurs. During operation, the pinsetter spots
and retracts each individual pin in sequence.
• Ball Return Only - Turns on the ball return for diagnosis and adjustment of the ball
accelerator and the ball lift.
• Pins Up - When this option is selected, the pinsetter lifts all 10 pins to up position so that
the string wagon can stop on the stop dogs. Normally this is used when performing the
string tension adjustment.
