distance counter that determines the machine’s position on the lane. The Phoenix LT4
continuously compares this counter to the factory setting or to the distance entered for an
operation so it knows where on the lane to start and stop an operation. When cleaning the
lanes, the drive motor propels the machine until the end of the lane is reached, then it
reverses direction and propels the machine back to the approach. When only conditioning
the lanes (no cleaning) or only buffing the lanes, the drive motor propels the machine until
the buffing distance is reached, then it reverses direction and propels the machine back to
the approach.
The main components of the cleaning section are:
 The cleaner tank
 The vacuum head
 The cleaner filter
 The vacuum head solenoids
 The cleaner spray pump
 The vacuum motor
 The spray heads
 The waste tank
 Flow control valve
The vacuum head contains an agitator foam and a squeegee.
When cleaning, the Phoenix LT4 performs the following actions:
1. The spray heads dispense the cleaner over the lane, as
shown in Figure 3- 1.
2. The agitator foam mixes the cleaner into the oil on the lane.
3. The emulsified solution is wiped off the lane by the
squeegee.
4. The solution is vacuumed from the squeegee through a
hose into the waste tank.
The cleaning operation can be performed separately or
simultaneously with the conditioning operation. Cleaning occurs
only during the forward travel of the first pass of the lane program
when activated in the program.
The main components of the conditioning section are:
 Oil tank
 Buffer brush motor
 Wicking foams
 Oil transfer roller
 Buffer brush & solenoids
 Oil transfer roller motor
The Phoenix LT4 Lane Machine uses wicking foams to transport the oil from the oil tank to
the transfer roller. The density and contact pressure of the wicking foams control the rate
at which oil is moved to the transfer roller. The Phoenix LT4 comes installed with six foams
in three densities. The outside foams on each side are #10 (medium-low) output foams and
apply oil to the outside 7.8 inches (20 cm) of the lane. The two track foams are #6
(medium-high) output foams and apply oil to the area between the center foams and
outside foams. They are 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide. The middle two foams are #4 (super-high)
output foams that apply oil to the middle 20 inches (50.8 cm) of the lane.
