PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Residue is left on the lane
after the Phoenix LT4
passes over it.
Check that the waste tank is seated correctly against the
waste tank seal and that the seal is not rolled or damaged.
Refer to Section 4.4.4 – Replacing the Waste Tank Seal.
Check the squeegee edge to ensure it is not worn, broken,
or warped. Ensure that the squeegee edge is making full
contact with the lane surface. Replace the squeegee as
necessary. Refer to Section 4.4.1 – Replacing the Agitator
Foam or Squeegee.
Check that the vacuum hose is installed correctly (both
ends), and that it has not split.
Refer to Section 4.3.5 – Adjusting the Vacuum Head Height.
Cleaner spray in gutters.
This is typically caused by the two outside spray nozzles
being aimed more towards the outside of the lane. This can
be solved by aiming them more towards the center of the
lane. Refer to Section 4.3.4.2 – Adjusting Cleaner Nozzle
Direction.
Flow pressure may be too high causing the two outside
spray nozzles to spray cleaner across the lane to the
opposing gutters. Refer to Section 4.3.4.1 – Adjusting
Cleaner Flow Rate.
Lane is not being cleaned.
This can be caused by a number of factors:
 Ensure the cleaning tank has the proper mixture of
lane cleaner and water in it.
 Ensure spray nozzles and tubes are clear and
working properly. Repair/replace as necessary.
 Adjust flow rate to apply more cleaner to the lane.
Refer to Section 4.3.4.1 – Adjusting Cleaner Flow
Rate.
 Check agitator foam and squeegee for damage.
Repair/replace as necessary. Refer to Section 4.4.1
– Replacing the Agitator Foam or Squeegee.
 Verify that the vacuum system/head is working
properly.
 Check to make sure the waste tank seal is in good
working condition and replace as necessary. Refer to
Section 4.4.4 – Replacing the Waste Tank Seal.
