you shoud ALWAYS fill the machine with it on the lane...that way if you spill either the cleaner or the conditioner, it falls to the lane and not on the approach where the bowlers walk and slide.
I remember seeing them do this once at a bowling alley. It was sort of interesting to watch, but also a little frustrating having them do your lane in the middle of your game.
Wow. Our bowling alley waits for people to get done if someone is bowling. But usually when people come in to bowl they say you gotta be done by a certain time so we can oil.
I always cleared the pins off the deck FIRST....otherwise the machine sprays cleaner on the pins thus not getting enough cleaner on the pindeck to clean it.....Just my 2 cents.
Hey Aaron Miller, Try Brunswick’s IPA 99 Synthetic Approach Cleaner and if it’s still not where you want it try Brunswick’s Approach Dry Slide BUT very lightly. It will make it slicker than Owl Snot.
In 1961 we sprayed the oil on the lanes, buffed it in with a big buffing machine, nothing like this. swept them down first. The long cord to the buffing machine was a big problem with just one person cleaning and oiling.
I would say use a buffing machine with a lamb’s wool pad (the white one). Squirt water and vinegar sparingly so it cleans the surface and leaves nothing behind. Use a clean dustmop to pick up and you’re good to go. Buffing doesn’t take nearly as long as you would think.
I had two different Kegel lane machines in my 22 years,,, and I've taken Don Agent's classes... In his words... "Clear the pins before you oil... You COULD drive your BMW into a wall... but would you want to ?!"
Forward oil will continue to be applied and taper off as it dissipates from the buffer brush possibly all the way to the end of the pattern as the machine is moving towards the headpin. Reverse oil will have a defined endpoint because the machine is moving towards the foul line and any dissipation will be in the reverse direction into the (usually) heavier head oil. Think of a puddle of paint on a table top. Forward oil is like putting a paint brush into the puddle and dragging it away. Reverse oil is like putting the brush down (with paint on it) where there is no paint and dragging it back into the puddle. The one going away will taper off. The one going towards the puddle will have a defined line where you put the brush down.
Dana Danarosana does this mean that oil is being put on the lane as it is being cleaned? I always thought forward oil was oil being laid down when the machine is moving forward
@@FearTheWeird300 Sorry... I just now saw this... Yes, forward oil is being applied immediately as the lane is cleaned. The cleaning is in the front of the machine and the oil buffer brush is in the rear (towards the foul line).
I've worked in a bowling center here in Nevada for over 14 years.About a year and a half ago our approaches became tacky and not very good for sliding.We've tried alcohol and water.And a slide product by Brunswick you apply to a dust mop.Nothing seems to work.Any advice?
Compare the prices of any of the walkers to their custodian. All the walkers are crazy expensive. Also, the cord isn't a issue if you know how to control it.
@@tylermcdaniel283 maybe not, but it does prevent you from doing anything else while the lane is being oiled. That can mean making customers wait for service unless your center either has a large staff or only oils the lanes before or after business hours.

Eh not necessarily. Our alley buffs the approaches after oiling so the IPA gets it cleaned up
The cleaner bowled a strike.
You forgot to put the cap back on 2 seconds after you said your going to find the cap. 🙈

@@eyelesscrown7346 but not every center does that or cares for their approaches so for precaution thats the best way.
I love the Vacuum sound on the Kegel Kustodians
i'm glad i'm not the only one who drops the cap into the machine!!!
Is that a purple Menards bucket!? Damn thats sick I want one

They don't spray. it squirts straight down. l used to sweep the pins off but there is no need to.
@@camperdave25 Older machines had fixed position spray nozzles that pointed forward

The oil is looks Like Navigate by Kegel. It is a mineral based oil that is used to protect the lane surface from the normal wear and tear
My center has the same machine, and we do all 32 lanes in one go. We still have cleaner and oil left over afterwards

When we fill ours it can oil up to 22 lanes in one shot, it’s a great Machine until you have to reprogram it.
yeah l wish you cound store more than 4 patterns
I was reading about BPA US Open oil patterns, and they're suggesting they're around 27-30ml; that's has to be a thin layer
Works great until it runs straight off the pin deck!
You should update to a Kegel Lane Walker.
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
thanks for this vid! What type of product is the oil? Is it a type of wax that dries? Is it actually an oil that stays slick on the lane?
It stays slick. It needs to stay slick. Notice he talks about "program 3"? That's the pattern of the oil. Look up bowling lane oil patterns.
You should never fill the tanks on the approach you do that in your shop and you can go 42 lanes before you fill up.
Anybody notice he never found the cap 😂
PBA now requires robotic lane conditioners and a $500 per year license for the oil patterns they use.
So that’s why bowling lanes are so slippy
Randell pink floyd you ever play ball that senior year
I feel like my bowling alley oils the lane once a month and when they do oil it they put extra
What is the difference between reverse and forward oil?
Forward oil will continue to be applied and taper off as it dissipates from the buffer brush possibly all the way to the end of the pattern as the machine is moving towards the headpin. Reverse oil will have a defined endpoint because the machine is moving towards the foul line and any dissipation will be in the reverse direction into the (usually) heavier head oil.

... clean rags and the HOTTEST clean water your hands can stand...
@@Dana_Danarosana. With a little bit of vinegar added.
our machine does it all itself all we have to do is fill and empty the liquids
my alley they used Mr Green cleaner which I think mess up the lanes.
I hate drying lanes on lane 1 that close to a wall as a right hander.
You forgot the cap.
What kind of oil??
Hey Niko! wanna go bowling?
Always shake the oil jug
Really interesting but the audio was too poor to hear much without blasting the speakers
who is holding the camera?
Adam Danielson is an awesome name.
Focus!!!
he knows the basics but not all the basics
Incomplete. The 1st time you run it on lane one it doesn't do a very good job. You should do lane 1 again after you do lane 2 then go to lane 3.
I want buy, oli iam promo Indonesia riau
He never got the top
Shit machine ..u need a flex walker ..how annoying pulling the cord and taking it to next lane 🤦🏻♂️ is quit working there until they got a new one
