SAFETY
TIPS
FOR MECHANICS
1.
Remove the power plug before working on a pinspotter or associated equipment. Never work on a machine while it's in operation.
2.
Be sure all safety guards are securely in place before operating a pinspotter.
3 . Do not extend any part of the body under, over or around any guard while the machine is in operation.
4.
Do not touch or handle any machine wiring while the power plug is in. Electrical shock can be fatal.
5.
Do not crank motors with the motor plug in.
6.
Turn off the mask switch when working on the front end of the machine.
7.
Turn off the pin elevator, table and sweep switches when working on the rear of the machine.
8.
Be aware of the danger of springs under tension.
9.
Crank the sweep to the guard position when working in the machine.
10. Wear proper clothing. When working around machinery it's an invitation to disaster to wear gloves, long sleeves, pants with cuffs, loose clothing or jewelry.
11. Wear sturdy shoes and keep the laces tied. Don't forget eye protection, ear protection and a dust mask, depending on the work you're doing.
12. Don't be a "jackknife mechanic." Use the right tool for the job. Don't expect a small tool to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
13. Know your tools. Learn how to use them and respect their limitations.
14. All electric power tools should be grounded or double insulated. Stand on a rubber mat when operating fixed electrical equipment.
15. Don't carry plugged-in or cordless power tools with your finger on the switch.
16. Do not use power tools with which you're not familiar. Don't fake it. If you're not sure, get instructions from a more knowledgeable operator.
17. Keep the pinspotter area and workshop clean at all times.
18. Don't smoke in the pinspotter area.
19. Know the location of all fire extinguishers and how to use them.
20. Post emergency phone numbers near the back end phone.

PINSPOTTER MECHANICAL OPERATIONS
FOUR BASIC PINSPOTTER FUNCTIONS
The 8270 Pinspotter has four basic functions:
1. Stop balls
2. Return balls
3. Spot pins
4. Respot pins
FIVE BASIC PINSPOTTER CYCLES
The 8270 Pinspotter employs five basic cycles:
1. First Ball Cycle
2. Second Ball Cycle
3. Strike Cycle
4. First Ball Foul Cycle
5. Second Ball Foul Cycle
EIGHT BASIC PINSPOTTER COMPONENTS
1. Cushion
The cushion stops the ball and deflects it into the pit area.
2. Sweep
The primary function of the sweep is to remove fallen pins from the lane.
It also is a guard and prevents balls from striking the table while spotting or respotting pins.
6
3. Carpet and Pit
The carpet is a belt which carries fallen pins to the pin elevator wheel, where they are elevated to the distributor. The underlaying pit provides support for the pins and guides the ball to the opening of the bail return.
4. Ball Lift
The ball lift carries the ball from the machine high enough to permit a gravity return. The ball lift is mounted in the middle of a pair of machines.
5. Pin Elevator Wheel
The pin elevator wheel carries the pins from the pit area and delivers them to the distributor.
6. Distributor
The distributor delivers the pins from the pin elevator to the bin assembly. The distributor runs continuously and is driven by the back-end motor.
Elevator
Wheel
7
7. Bin and Shuttle Assembly
The bin stores pins received from the distributor until ready for spotting. The shuttle drops pins onto the table.
Two sets of pins can be stored in the bin assembly until required. (20)

Manager's Control*
Each machine is under control of the Lane Manager by a conveniently located set of switches at the
Manager's desk. Each machine control switch is a three position switch: (I) Instruct-O-Mat, (B) Bowl, and Center the "OFF" position. Placing this switch in the "B" Bowl position, the machine will operate ready for bowling, providing the Master Line Switch, Machine Safety Switch and all other circuit breakers and control switches described later are in the "ON" position. Placing the Manager's Control
Switch in the (I) instruct-O-Mat position applies power to the ball return and pin loading assemblies only; the Sweep and Table become inoperative. Practice balls can now be rolled and the ball will be returned in the normal fashion. The machine will not go through its cycles until the switch is returned to the "B" Bowl position. When this switch is turned "OFF", power is still supplied to the pinspotter chassis unless the Master Line Switch is turned "OFF" or the power plug is disconnected.
Pin Elevator, Sweep. and Table Motor Switches
are provided to permit repair and maintenance work by allowing each unit to be turned off or on individually. They are to be kept in the
"ON"
position and should be turned off when a person enters the machine from the rear.
Sweep Run Switch
is also located on the machine control panel and is used to run the sweep motor.
Sweep Reverse Switch
is provided to allow the sweep to be run back to the guard or zero position.
This switch must be held down and the Sweep Run Switch operated in order for the described action to take place.
The First Ball Stepper Zero Button
is used to return the control circuit to its ready for first or second ball condition. This switch will also restart an MP Chassis.
A Cycle Button
is also provided on the Machine Control Panel. It is used to start the machine on either a first or second ball cycle depending upon the condition that the control circuit is in.
*In a bowling center with automatic scoring, the manager's control switch functions may be performed at the manager's scoring console.
14
REAR CONTROL
PANEL
TENTH FRAME BUTTON
A push button, located convenient to the bowler, usually on the ball return is provided to cycle the machine when required. In the event pins are left standing after the bowler has completed his game, the tenth frame button must be operated to signal the machine to set up pins for the next bowler.
Example #1-If a bowler "spares" in the tenth frame, but fails to knock down all pins with the "extra ball," the tenth frame button must be operated to set the machine for first ball for the next bowler.
Example #2-If a bowler "strikes" in the tenth frame, he is entitled to two additional balls. If his first
"extra" ball is a strike but the second is not, the pins remaining on the lane must be removed before the machine is ready to receive the first ball of the next bowler. This is a accomplished by use of the tenth frame button.
Example#3-(Without Accuscore) Less than a full set of pins spotted for first ball in a frame. The "tenth frame" button is pressed to cycle the machine, which will go thru a first ball cycle respotting the pins and lighting the 2nd ball light. Now the "tenth frame" button must be pressed again to cycle the machine thru a "2nd ball cycle" spotting a new set of pins and lighting the " 1 st ball " light.
Bowler may now proceed to bowl.
In open play, the machine can be recycled by throwing the ball instead of using the tenth frame button.
Do not operate the tenth frame button at any time other than as described above. Damage to the machine could result should the bowler be in the process of delivering the ball.
Enable respot only button-(Accuscore Installation Only) This button, located on Accuscore unit, is pressed to obtain a new set of pins whenever the first ball set is incomplete or a pin falls over.
The respot pins only button must be used to prevent the Accuscore from reading a false pinfall for first ball and advancing machine to "2nd ball" cycle.
15
MACHINE IDENTIFICATION
DESIGNER MASKS
In all AMF publications, reference is made to machines being either right hand or left hand. This information is especially important when ordering spare parts or when describing an intricate part of the machine. How do we determine whether a machine is right or left? One way is from the bowlers point of view.
Pictured above are lanes 37 and 38. These two machines are installed as a matched pair to accurately align the ball exit with the return rails. Since machine 37 delivers the ball to the right into the ball lift, it is called the right hand machine. Machines 38 returns the ball to its left and is called a left hand machine. Also, 37 is an odd number. All odd number lanes are right hand machines. Even number lanes are left hand machines.
Some machine parts will only fit the right or left hand side of a machine. The most accurate way to tell the right side of a machine from the left is also from the bowler's point of view. As the bowler stands facing the machine, the machine's right side is on the bowler's right side, the machine's left side will be on the bowler's left. This is true for both right and left hand machines.
16
MECHANICAL CYCLES OF THE MACHINE
MODEL 82-70
FIRST BALL CYCLE
The machine, as we will consider it, is now ready for the first ball with first ball light on the sweep and table in the up position. Ten pins are on the spot pattern on the pin deck. The start switch, (SS), will be actuated completing the cycle start circuit. The sweep will run to its down or guard position, (SB),.
Here, it will rest until called upon to sweep pins. A time delay is set in motion and, at its conclusion, the table will start its first descent to detect pins. Ten respot cell switches, (GS), indicate to the electrical system whether or not there are pins standing. If pins remain, they are mechanically gripped and raised to a height sufficient for the sweep to pass under them and clear the lane of dead wood,
(TA2). The pindicator registers the pins left standing. After sweeping the deck, the sweep will again come to rest at the forward position and become a machine guard, (SA). The table continues upward through its "zero" position and starts another revolution, this time to respot the pins. As the table "zero" is approached for the second time, the sweep will raise and stop its up position, (SA), and the table will stop at the end of its revolution, (TA1). The first ball light is out and the second ball light is on.
SECOND BALL CYCLE
For the start of the second ball, the sweep is again at rest in its up position and the table is at zero.
The (SS) start switch closes and starts the machine cycle. The sweep drops to first guard (SB). A time delay is set in motion which delays the sweep before its run through. The sweep then performs its sweeping operation and returns to its forward guard position, (SA). At this time, the table receives its spotting signal, (BS), and the spotting cups will swing downward to set up a complete set of pins as the table begins its revolution. As the table approaches the end of its revolution, the sweep will raise to its up position, (SA), and the table will stop at zero, (TA1). The second ball light is off and first ball light is on.
STRIKE CYCLE
In the strike cycle, the machine components are all in the same condition as described previously when the machine was ready for first ball, except there are no pins on deck. The start switch, (SS), will be closed. The sweep will drop to the guard position, (SB), and the time delay is started as in First
Ball Cycle. At the completion of the delay, the table will descend to feel for pins. When the table finds that there are no pins to be picked up, the ten respot cell switches, (GS), will not operate and the machine will override the normal cycle functions of first ball and proceed to second ball spotting functions. The first ball light goes off and the strike light comes on. As the table proceeds toward the end of the first revolution, the sweep will clear all of the wood from the lane. If the table has received a full set of pins, (BS), it will then begin the second revolution or spotting cycle. By operating the spot solenoid, the table cups will be allowed to swing down to deposit the set of pins on the lane. During the spotting revolution, the electrical circuit is reset to first ball, the sweep will come to its up position,
(SA), and the table will come to rest at "zero", (TA1). The machine will be idling with the sweep up, the table up and the strike light will be off and the first ball light will be on.
17
THE FOUL unT c on.
Every AMF Pinspotter Control Chassis has the capability of preforming a foul cycle. All that is required is a signal from an external source. This signal comes from a foul detector when the bowler crosses the foul line. Most foul detectors will sound a buzzer as well as lighting the foul light on the masking unit. Foul detectors are usually installed with their own on-off switch so they can be turned off in open play.
82120 FOUL DETECTOR
18
FIRST BALL FOUL CYCLE
When the ball is rolled and the bowler commits a foul, the foul detector unit operates and prepares the machine for a foul cycle. The ball hitting the cushion will start the machine. The sweep drops to the guard position and completes its sweeping operation stopping at the forward guard. The table, when full of pins, will begin its spotting operation. The table cups will swing down and deposit a full set of pins on the spot pattern on the lane. When the table nears the end of its travel, it will signal the sweep to begin its rise. The electrical system will remain ready for second ball with the second ball light on.
The table will stop at zero and the sweep at its up position. The pins that were swept off the lane are carried into the pin elevator wheel and distributed to the various bin locations on the machine. In addition to taking over control of the machine, the foul detector unit energizes a foul light on the pindicator and rings a bell or buzzer.
SECOND BALL FOUL CYCLE
Should the bowler commit a foul when delivering his second ball, the machine will perform a normal second ball operation. The foul detector unit will operate the foul light and bell or buzzer.
19
WHERE TO STAND
The wooden catwalks afford the mechanic a safe place to stand on top of the machine while observing pinspotter operation or clearing a problem. There is a hand rail and tread weldment to aid in getting onto the machine. Some mechanics add a step below the tread weldnrient to make machine access easier.

PINSPOTTER POWER PLUG
(Russell-Stoll Plug)
Power is connected to the pinspotter by a 3-conductor twist-lock polarized plug. The plug must be twisted counter-clockwise in order to be removed. Since the plug is polarized it can only be inserted into the receptacle in one way. None of the switches on the machine remove the power. Power is removed only by removing the power plug. Always remove the power plug when working on the machine or before entering any operating portion of the machine.
KLIXON (Push to reset
NOTE: The three motors on the pinspotter also use twist-lock polarized plugs.
The klixon is used as a protection device for the motor.
21
RESPOT CELL PROTECTION SWITCH
[GP SWITCH]
The respot cell protection switch is located at the back of the table between the #8 and #9 respot cells.
If the respot cells are closed in a first ball cycle, the table will not feel for pins. The respot cells can be opened by pulling the drive linkage back toward the rear of the machine. After the cells are opened, there will be a 2-1/2 second delay before the table starts to move. The GP switch has no function in a second ball cycle.
22
[GP SWITCH]
PIN HOOK
A pin hook is used to pull fallen pins (dead wood) from the deck into the pit. It can also be used to pick up pins that are in front of the sweep. A pin hook is also useful in setting up pins for the bowler. Extreme
• caution must always be used so the pin hook does not become wedged in any assembly or struck by a bowling ball.
23
OFF SPOT PIN
If the downward movement of the table is stopped by an offspot pin in a first ball cycle, the offspot switch will be turned on. This switch being turned on, converts the chassis to second ball, stops the table after one revolution of the table shaft and holds the sweep at first guard. Before the Bowler can continue, the maintenance man must remove the deadwood from the deck with a pin hook. The respot cells should be pulled open since they are less likely to be damaged when opened. Then hold the sweep reverse switch on, and press sweep run to bring the sweep backwards to its zero position. Do not overrun the sweep zero position as the sweep will go to second guard. If this happens, use only sweep run to return the sweep to zero.
24
BALL EXIT
Pins in the ball exit will prevent the ball from being returned to the bowler. Pins can be pulled from the ball exit with a pin hook. Do not reach into the exit with your hands. The pin deflector curtain may be released and placed over the cushion tube weldment to make the ball exit more accessible. The sweep should be run down to the guard position to prevent the bowler from rolling another ball. The pin curtain must be latched into position and the sweep reversed to its zero position after the ball exit has been cleared.
25
MOTOR CRALIE-I
The combination motors (table and sweep) used on the pinspotter have the motor shaft extended through the end cover so the motor can be cranked by hand. Cranking the motor is sometimes necessary when doing service work or clearing an interlock condition. The motor power plug must be removed before the motor crank is inserted into the motor. Motors may be cranked in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The motor crank must be removed before the motor power plug is re-inserted into the motor.
26
INTERLOCK PROTECTION
lf, for any reason, the table and sweep are on a collision course, both motors will be turned off. This is accomplished by two switches, TB and SC, wired in parallel with one another and in series with the power source for the table and sweep motor relays. In an interlock condition, none of the normal table or sweep run switches will work. To clear an interlock, the motors should be unplugged and the table motor cranked to raise the table high enough for the sweep to run back to guard. The sweep motor plug should be inserted first allowing the sweep to move from under the table. Then the table motor plug can be inserted into the motor permitting the cycle to be completed.

BIN SWITCH
[BS]
The bin switch is located in the bin framework between the #8 and #9 bin locations. The bin switch actuating lever is in the #9 bin. When the #9 pin is placed in the bin, the bin switch is turned on permitting spotting of new pins to take place. The #9 pin is the tenth or last pin fed in the distributor pin feeding sequence.
When clearing pins that have piled up on top of the bin, it is important that a pin has been placed in each bin location before the #9 pin is placed into its position. If the #9 pin is placed in the bin before the other pins, there may be less than a full set of pins spotted on the deck.
Bin Switch Lever
28
DISTRIBUTOR
The distributor transfers pins from the elevator wheel to the bin. In clearing a pin pile up, it may be necessary to advance the distributor to the proper location. This can be accomplished by pressing down and then releasing the distributor index lever. The distributor moves one bin location each time the index lever is pressed down and released.
29
TABLE SPRINGS
(Yoke Shaft)
Springs are used on the yoke shafts to stabilize cup movement in a spotting cycle, Occasionally a pin may become jammed between the yoke and the table. This may hold the spotting cups in a vertical position when the table comes up. When this occurs the table should be cranked down to relieve some tension, and to gain clearance between the yoke and the bins. The cups can than be turned more vertical to free the jammed pin. When the pin has been freed, the cups can be allowed to turn back to a horizontal position. Care must be used here as there is considerable spring tension on the spotting cups. The table should be returned to its zero position.
30
ADD PINS OR MANE SET-UPS
If a bowler requests one or more pins to be added to those left standing on the deck, a pin hook is generally used to accomplish this.
Caution
must be used as the bowler may become impatient and roll another ball.
Sometimes, a bowler will request a set-up or specific pins to be placed on the deck for second ball.
One way to do this is to spot a full rack and remove the unwanted pins with a pin hook. Another way is to put the requested pins through the shuttle, then hold the shuttle in a spotting cycle so only the requested pins are spotted. The chassis should be stepped to second ball and the missing pins replaced in the bin.
Caution
must be used here so the shuttle does not move and injure your fingers.
Your fingers should come from the bottom up to reduce the possibility of injury.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD REMOVAL
NOTE: Remove power and wait one minute before removing boards.
1. Insert board puller under board to be replaced as shown in the above picture. (Care should be exercised as puller may become caught in stray chassis wires.)
2. Apply an upward pressure using the thumbs as leverage, and ease the board out of the socket.
3. When inserting a new board, be sure the printed circuitry of the board mates with the contacts of the plug.
NOTE: Board removal tool not required with new M/P circuit boards.
CIRCUIT BOARD HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
1. DO NOT remove the circuit board while power is on.
2. ALLOW one minute capacitor discharge period after removing power before removing circuit board.
3. USE a board removal tool if circuit board does not have card ejectors.
4. WEAR a grounding strap when working with microprocessor boards.
5. DO NOT handle boards with dirty hands.
6. DO NOT flex the circuit board, this could damage the foil.
7. DO NOT write on the boards, this could cause a short.
8.
IF you need to indicate a defective part or solder joint, use a piece of masking tape.
9. EXAMINE a suspected bad board for broken or loose components.
10. USE A pencil eraser to clean circuit board contacts where they mate with the terminal strip.
11. RECHECK a suspected bad board in another chassis before returning.
12. KEEP circuit boards in their protective container until they are to be installed in the chassis.
13. STORE spare boards in the box they are shipped in.

110 Volt Power Plug
CHASSIS REPLACEMENT
1.
Remove 110 volt power to the machine by pulling the power plug.
2.
Release the camloc handles which hold the chassis to the frame of the machines
.
3. Loosen the plug cover and disconnect the "C" and ball path plugs by firmly depressing the spring clips and pull outward very carefully. Round plugs are threaded.
4.
Lift chassis out of position and replace with new one following the reverse order. Reconnect all cables.
5.
Apply power to the pinspotter and check operation for first ball, second ball, strike, and foul cycles.

PINSPOTTER MAINTENANCE
The
AMF Automatic Pinspotter
had been designed and engineered to give efficient service in spotting pins and returning the ball to the bowler. To maintain this efficiency as well as economical operation, proper preventive maintenance is required.
Preventive maintenance encompasses many things. However, the most important are proper adjustment, cleaning, lubrication and replacement of worn parts. Proper adjustments as per directions in the service manual are easy to accomplish and maintain and will give you smooth, efficient operation. Cleaning and proper lubrication of the pinspotter will eliminate excessive wear on moving parts. It is also recommended that a part showing excessive wear be replaced. in many cases, replacements of a minor worn part can eliminate progressive wear in a major assembly, therefore saving the proprietor unnecessary down time and money.
After your goal is reached and to ensure continued efficient operation, it will be required that 30 to 60 minutes of preventive maintenance per machine per week be scheduled. This work is best done when the machines are down or bowling is at a minimum to enable the mechanic to properly utilize his time.
It is also suggested that the incoming power plug be pulled to ensure safety. It must be kept in mind that the pinspotter performs a series of mechanical motions and electrical actions each cycle and that bodily injury may result should personnel enter the machine while power is on. When working on the pinspotter, it is also recommended that the power be turned off at adjacent machines. If machine guards were removed to work on the machines, they must be replaced. Do not operate machines unless all guards are in position and fastened securely. It is also a good practice to run or crank the sweep down to guard position in front of the machine. This will protect the maintenance man in case a ball is thrown by a careless bowler.
The master line switch or circuit breaker switches for each machine should be left on for the machine to operate and turned off when bowling is finished or when the building is left unattended overnight or at other times.
To sum up, the
AMF Automatic Pinspotter
requires a minimum of preventive maintenance to provide trouble-free operation. To provide the proprietor's maintenance men with a form to be used to record this operation, the AMF Preventive Maintenance Chart has been formulated. This form also provides for a tabulation of parts replaced during the preventive maintenance so that the spare parts inventory can readily be maintained.

MACHINE CLEANING
The AMF Automatic Pinspotter must be kept dean at all times to give satisfactory service to the bowler. It is of utmost importance to start off with cleanliness and to maintain the cleaning schedule given below.
Every Two Weeks:
1. Dust the complete machine.
Twice A Week:
1. Wipe the following with a cloth dampened with AMFlite II Pin Cleaner, or similar substance:
A. Inside of pin elevator wheel
B. Inside of spotting cups and bins
C. Pit carpet
D. Pin curtain face
E. Distributor belts and orienter
F. Ball lift vertical track
G. Sheaves and V-belt drives
2. Check motor drip pans and clean as required.
3. Reverse or change ball wipe cloths.
4. Vacuum between kickback plates and bottom section of ball lifts.
5. Vacuum under pin elevator wheel and carpet,
6. Clean ball lift belt.

UNDERLANE BALL CALL
A ball that fails to come up the ball return may be trapped in the underlane directly in front of the ball return. A trap door is provided in the approach in front of each ball return for ball removal. It is also possible the ball may not have rolled this far and is somewhere on the underlane track. The underlane cover can be raised until the ball is located. The ball must be moved to an area of sufficient width to permit it to be removed. Extreme caution must be used when working in the underlane area. The underlane and ball return serve two pinspotters. We must be certain there is no possibility of another ball using the underlane while we are working there.
