Well I took the Sept 1999 version of the AMF 82-70 C Mechanics test and well I need someone to tell me what I got right and what I got wrong. Mind you like I said this is with no actual hands-on AMF experience. Ive only seen one (82-90 XL) that's it lol. Well Here it is.
1. Always position the sweep in its down position when working in the Pinspotter.
True
2. When the bowler has delivered the bowling ball, the ball will strike the __CUSION__ starting the machine in cycle.
3. At the rear of the Pinspotter is a large wheel that brings pins up to the distributor.
True
4. This wheel is called the _Pin Elevator Wheel_ and is suspended on a _Wheel Guard and Belt_.
5. You can clean this wheel by _Wiping down with a damp rag_.
6. What does the Sweep do at 270 degrees during a spotting cycle?
Protects the pinspotter by being in the down and forward position.
7. A complete revolution of the sweep shaft is considered to be _360_ degrees.
8. What does “deadwood” mean? Any pin not standing on the playing surface.
9. The _distributor_ carries the pins across the top of the Pinspotter and places them, one at a time, into the _bin assembly_.
10. What do we call the part of the Pinspotter that picks up the standing pins from the lane?
The table (respot cells)
11. Name the degrees at which the Sweep normally stops during a cycle and describe the position of the Sweep in relation to the machine and pin deck at these points.
0/360: Home position, forward and up
66: First guard Position, down and forward
270: Second guard position, also bown and forward.
12. What clears the deadwood off of the lane?
The sweep.
13. All stops are not to be written down.
True
14. Are there any restrictions concerning clothing when working on the Pinspotter?
Yes
15. If so, what are they?
No loose clothing and jewelry. No long hair exposed.
16. The _orientation pan_ receives pins either head first or bottom first, turns them and deposits them all base first into the _distributor_.
17. If the bowler rolls a strike, what is the Pinspotter sequence of operation? (Without scoring).
Sweep drops to first guard position, after time delay table drops and feels no pins. Table raises and sweep eliminates deadwood. Sweep moves forward to second guard position and table drops. The shuttle cups rotate to the vertical positions and sets 10 new pins. Table raises and sweep raises to home position and awaits new ball.
18. You should never leave tools or parts on the Pinspotter when you are finished working on it.
True
19. What is the first thing you should do when you get a Pinspotter stop call?
Shut off power to the machine before imspecting the call.
20. Who in the bowling center cannot clear stops?
Anyone who is not certified to work on the pinspotter.
21. What two safety switches will shut off the Pinspotter table and sweep motor if they are out of time.
TB and SC
22. When two or more people are working on the Pinspotter, what should you do before turning the machine on?
Yell "clear" to ensure everyone is away from the pinspotter before operation.
23. Name the cam switches found on the Pinspotter and their function.
TA–1: Runs the table up and stops it at its home position. (355)
TA–2: Starts the sweep running through from first to second guard (270)
TB: Interlock along with SC
SA: Stops the sweep at second guard, runs the sweep home and stops it there
SB: Stops sweep at first guard (66) and starts table spotting action (186)
SC: Interlock along with TB.
24. Should you forget how to install a belt, you should look in the _service manual_ or at the _machine next to you_.
25. How many motors are on the Pinspotter?
3
26. Name the major assemblies of a Pinspotter and their function.
The cushion: Stops forward motion of the ball and begins cycle by the SS switch
The Carpet: Conveys pins to the rear of the machine to the Pin elevator wheel
The pin elevator wheel: Elevates pins from the carpet to the distributor via orientation pan.
The distributor: Conveys pins across the top of the pinspotter to the bin assembly.
The bin and shuttle assembly: Stores up to 20 pins. 10 in the shuttle for when new pins need to be set and 10 pins in the bin assembly to drop pins to the shuttle assemble when empty.
The table: To spot (spotting cups) and respot (yoke) pins.
Sweep: To clear deadwood and protect the pinspotter.
Ball Lift: To lift bowling ball to a height where it can be returned by gravity.
Well guys there it is, dont be too harsh on me lol like I said this is with NO hands-on experience with the machine at all.
