Name: Kristin

Date: 7/13

Problems with lanes:
Lane 5 - Many jams in the turnaround pan today.

Lane 7 - The turret jammed a few times, sometimes causing a deck jam or a turnaround pan jam.

Lane 8 - Today, the lane cleaner accidentally ran into the rake. Later, the front of the rake ended up falling off due to the unknown damage.

Actions Taken:
Lane 5/7 - Unjamming things everywhere!

Lane 8 - Replaced the rake board with another. Seems to be fine, may need an adjustment. Also, could be prudent to train those oiling the lanes on how to fix a jam should one occur when trying to move the shoe out of the way. A jam is what caused the rake to be stuck at the back of the lane in the first place.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes): The usual suspects of 5 & 7. 5 may need a pin guide adjustment or tightening. Perhaps that would ensure the pins make it into the turnaround pan rather than sliding between that and the turret pulley. 7's turret needs work. The full turret will skip the 5-pin, and the cross conveyor doesn't stop, causing a jam when the pin tries to drop into the full turret.

Ordering: It would be nice to get a basic inventory of springs and bolts.
