Loader Raceway and Feed Channel Cleaning Basics

A how-to tutorial explaining how to clean the loader’s internal raceway and feed channels to prevent jams, improve feeding consistency, and maintain smooth ball travel.

Introduction

A how-to tutorial explaining how to clean the loader’s internal raceway and feed channels to prevent jams, improve feeding consistency, and maintain smooth ball travel.

Key Points

  • Shows gentle cleaning around feed channels.
  • Explains removing dried paint that slows cycling.
  • Covers sensor-friendly wiping for electronic loaders.
  • Teaches how to avoid moisture on circuit boards.
  • Improves feeding reliability under all conditions.

Details

Players open the loader shell or lid depending on the model. The internal raceway the path paint follows is inspected for dried paint, dust, or shell fragments. Using a dry or lightly damp microfiber cloth, players clean surfaces with slow, controlled movements.

Electronic loaders may include sensors. Players wipe sensor windows gently to remove smudges or debris without using pressure or liquid.

All internal components must be fully dry before closing the loader. Clean raceways maintain smooth feeding and reduce mid-game interruptions.
