Every time there is a deck jam (couple pins in 5 cup) the machine stays on second ball. We have to move the 1st 2nd ball lever on detector and push it farther back against the micro switc to get it to go to first ball again. Any suggestions on why it happens after the deck jam?

If the staff are pulling up on the deck hook to make the hook clear the deck post as they lower the deck, they may be pulling up on the hook too hard which may cause the 1st/2nd ball lever to move out of adjustmentNick

Another thing to keep an eye on is if you are seeing a lot of movement in the detector as the 1:1 turns. Could be that the screws that mount the detector to the 1:1 plate are loose.... or the 3 screws that mount the 1:1 plate to the 1:1 gearbox cover are loose....or the screws that mount the 1:1 gearbox cover to the gearbox housing are loose. Any of these being loose will cause the detector to move around too much and might affect the distance of the lever to the cherry switch (I thing the most common to come loose are the 3 counetrsunk cap screws that mount the 1:1 steel plate to the 1:1 aluminum gearbox cover).Nick

Still not enough movement to change the 1st 2nd ball light adjustment. It would have to move quite a bit to put that much pressure on the selector. Good thought though...
Bottom line, it is from someone lifting the deck holding hook while clearing deck jams (or trying to put the detector back on 1st ball) as you mentioned is when this occurs...after the 5 double loads. Teach them to lift the deck holding hook just enough to clear the deck post and no higher.TSM & TSM Training Development

Not too long ago this happened to me where the 3 bolts that mount the steel plate on the 1:1 cover loosened up. This caused movement in the 1:1 as the pinsetter was cycling which was causing the 2nd ball light to come in and out during the 1st ball cycle. My first thought was to adjust the lever because maybe it was boarderline out of adjustment....but it was because the detector had so much movement that the shaft was moving back and forth during the cycle and causing this problem.Nick

I see what you are saying...not that the adjustment itself would change but the position of the selector would change making it look like the adjustment itself had changed. Gotcha.TSM & TSM Training Development
