8. TROUBLE CHECKS

The following trouble checks will help you correct the most common problems encountered with the Lane Liner unit. Should any problem persist after you have made these checks, consult your nearest LEVAB dealer.

Before proceeding with these trouble checks, first check if the power cord is firmly connected to a live power outlet.

The start indicator , the error indicator  or both do not light up when the system is switched on.
There are two possibilities:
· The start-indicator  is flashing: while conditioning the lane the power was cut off. For more information see below.
· One or more lights are defective. Replace the broken bulb (component no. 1422, can be ordered from your LEVAB dealer or directly from Levab International).

The error indicator  is shining continuously.
The level of the oil in the internal oil tank is running low. As soon as this happens another approx. 10 lanes can be treated; as long as the start indicator  is on at least one lane can be treated. If the start indicator  goes off, the system will not respond to the start button  until oil has been supplied.

Turn off the power and re-fill the oil. For further instructions see 'Supplying Oil' on page 11.

The error indicator  is flashing (three flashes per second)
The cleaner fluid in the stripper unit is running low. As soon as this happens one more lane can be stripped. After that the system will not respond to the start button  until cleaning fluid has been supplied.

The error indicator 4 is blinking (once a second a short blink:  )
A failure has been detected. There could be various causes:
· The battery of the built-in computer has run out. The battery has a service life of approximately 5 years.
· The air pressure is not building up; there is possibly a leak in one of the air tubes.
· The squeegee is stuck.
· The end-of-lane switch in the stripper unit is broken.
To analyse the problem cause, hook up on your MS-Windows PC, laptop or notebook computer and run the 'Liner Panel' software. Upon connection, the software will immediately analyse the situation and display the most probable cause.

If the battery has run out, the indicator will start to flash about 30 days before the battery fails. The system will continue to work until the battery fails completely. Please contact your LEVAB dealer to have the battery replaced. A new battery (component no. 1433) can be ordered from your LEVAB dealer or directly from Levab International.

If the air pressure is not building up, the Lane Liner will keep on running as normal. The pattern of the applied oil might, however, be severely distorted.

If the squeegee is stuck or the end-of-lane switch in the stripper unit is broken, the Lane Liner will only oil the lane. Stripping is then impossible.

After power up the start indicator  is flashing.
While conditioning the lane the power was cut off (for example because the power cord was jammed and has pulled the plug from the connector). The last position on the lane is kept in memory; briefly press the start button 5 to resume the conditioning session. To abort the session, hold down the start button  for approx. 2 seconds until the air pump is switched off.

During a conditioning session the unit stops running, but the start indicator  keeps on flashing
The unit has been jammed and the built-in jamming protection has switched off the drive motor. Remove the obstruction and briefly press the start button  to resume the conditioning session. To abort the session, hold down the start button  for approx. 2 seconds until the air pump switches off.
