The Flex lane machine mixes it's own ratio of cleaner right in the machine so there is no pre-mixing in a jug and pouring it in the machine. This is done if a lane person wants to use a higher concentration on different area of the lane. The buffer speed determines how fast the buffer is spinning. From Kegel, "In short, the faster the speed of the buffer brush, the more conditioner can be applied in any one section of the oil pattern. Conversely, the slower the speed of the buffer brush, less conditioner will be applied to the lane surface." And the cleaner back end distance is where the last spray of cleaner is applied to the lane, I think. If I missed on something please correct me.
