Does anyone with a K+ machine use brown squeege blades? I got 2 sets of blue blades and i've had nothing but issues with them! Did the makers of the squeege blades change something? Before I changed them one of my machines had blue blade on front and brown at rear. Should I go back to that configuration? I've never had issues with brown blades and the blue ones seem so flimsy to me. I keep getting dirty yuck lines and random dark grey drops at random spots ever since I put on the new blue blades. I'm thinking about taking them off and going to brown blades instead.
Never had an issue with the blue blades on a K+, Are you sure your blades are adjusted correctly? I wouldnt put 2 brown blades on your machine, the extra pressure will put unwanted stress on the drive motor.

Chip, I currently use two brown blades, and they work for me and our K+. I know that the painted machines come w/ blue and work for others, just personal pref. It is ironic that you mention the use of blue in front and red in rear, as I also did that for a season. I was just trying stuff out of the box, Both combos worked for me with no adverse effects. (yet) I hope you get cleaning issue behind you soon, as it is the base for great lane conditions. On a side note, I do have my cleaner pump output a little higher than recommended, maybe that is why I do not expierence noticeable drag issue.
Just put on the brown blades on the rear and blue in the front..Problem went away! No more dirty yuckness by the foul lines :-) I do however am getting dirty cleaner onto my pitboards. AM I applying too much cleaner? I have pump set to 9ml at 4x test with 10:1 cleaner dilution and last squirt is set to 45' and lift duter is set to 12"
Are you using the pause and suck feature? If not i would turn it on for a second or two. that way it gives the machine a little extra time to suck up any excess cleaner before pushing the squeegee off the pindeck
Giving bowlers less to complain about, one lane at a time
What is your lift duster adjust set at? This will lift the duster at a distance before the squeegee does to let the puddle of cleaner to be sucked up before it pushes it off the end of the lane.

K+ does not have the pause and suck feature

DO A NEAT CLEAN JOB, AND FIX IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO WORK.
I have my lift duster set @ 20, I do know that is my magic number. Not sure what yours would be, maybe try increasing it slowly. I also have last squirt set at 55, which i know is extremely high, but I had more than desirable out of ranges, I thought doing that might help. ( and i feel it has ) Hope your problem is fixed soon.
Good morning, I have built a tester for the MP Chassis for the 82-70 machines. Instead of using the cam switches I am using relays. My question is to anyone that may...
Is anyone running the solderless relays on the accelerators? How do you like them? What brand? How difficult to convert was it? Would love the feed back as I'm about to switch...
