Important Safeguards and Warnings

WARNING: Do not perform any maintenance or work on equipment unless Lock-Out Safety Precautions are first performed. All electrically powered equipment must have manually operated disconnects capable of being locked in the "OFF" position. Equipment locked out must be restarted only by the person who performed the lockout. These procedures are mandatory to prevent personal injury, death, and/or dismemberment.

  • All parts and components must be installed by experienced and trained technicians.
  • No unauthorized personnel should be permitted in the wash tunnel or near the equipment at any time.
  • Required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Hardhat, safety glasses with side shields, closed steel toe shoes, anti-impact and cut-resistant gloves, dust mask, and earplugs if operating power tools.
  • When cutting or grinding metal, safety glasses, earplugs, and a dust mask must be worn.
  • Do not leave ladders, wash-down hoses, or tools in the wash tunnel while equipment is running, as this can cause vehicle damage and injury, including death.
  • Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry around moving equipment. Keep all body parts and objects away from moving equipment to prevent entanglement, which can cause injury, death, or dismemberment.
  • Exercise caution when walking through the wash tunnel; floors may be slippery. Avoid bumping into or tripping over equipment.
  • Electrical connections and repairs must only be performed by a Licensed Electrician.
  • Plumbing connections and repairs must only be performed by a Licensed Plumber.

Adjustments and Testing

Adjust the Cleaning Pressure of the Washer:

Ensure the air solenoid is in the wash position (no air pressure to the retract cylinder). Adjust the counterweight so the brush moves downward slowly when released. After initial adjustment, manually activate and deactivate the air retract. The brush should fall smoothly when deactivated. Final adjustment can be made during test vehicle runs. Proper cloth penetration should be 3 to 4 inches on flat surfaces. If the brush bounces excessively, the counterweight is adjusted too far out. Make adjustments in small increments (approx. ¼" to ½").

Adjust the Rotation Speed of the Brush:

Brush speed is adjusted via the flow control valve on the hydraulic power pack. Recommended speeds are 85-95 RPM with conveyor speeds of 100-150 CPH. If conveyor speed is reduced to 60-90 CPH, reduce brush speed to 75-85 RPM.

Adjust for Smooth Retract Operation:

Adjust the air pressure regulator to approximately 30 PSI in the retract position. The tunnel controller should be set to put the brush into the wash position before the vehicle arrives. This involves deactivating retracts before the vehicle reaches the brush and setting a "look ahead" function for vehicle proximity.

Speed and Torque Adjustment (where applicable):

Hydraulic:

  • Speed is adjusted via the flow control on the power pack. Move the handle towards '10' to increase speed, towards '1' to decrease speed.
  • Torque must be set prior to operation between 600 and 900 PSI. Refer to the Hydraulic Power Pack Manual for details.

Electric:

  • Speed is adjusted via the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). Adjust Hertz on the VFD to a higher number to increase speed, or a lower number to decrease speed.
  • Motor Starter protector overload must be set to the lowest level for operation. Adjust amps according to the motor nameplate.

General Operation

Top Brush Operation:

Brush rotation starts and stops via a signal from the customer-supplied controller to the hydraulic power pack. This signal should also control soap solution delivery to the spray bar.

IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THE BRUSHES ROTATE AGAINST VEHICLE TRAVEL.

With the brush rotating against vehicle travel at the proper RPM, the vehicle's front hood contacts the brush, and the brush moves across the vehicle, maintaining steady contact to clean the hood, roof, and trunk.

IMPORTANT: Proper cloth penetration on flat vehicle surfaces should be 3 to 4 inches. On corners like windshields, penetration may be greater, but not deeper than half the distance to the aluminum brush core.

Retract Operation:

When no vehicle is approaching, the tunnel controller retracts the brush from the wash position towards the ceiling. This can also be configured to retract for truck beds to avoid issues.

It is recommended that the Brush be retracted for:

  • Sun visors mounted over the windshield.
  • Any racks mounted on the roof.
  • Rear wipers on certain vehicles (e.g., Acura Integra, Mazda RX-7) unless taped down.
  • Open bed pickup trucks.

Maintenance

IMPORTANT: FOR THE FIRST MONTH OF OPERATION, CHECK ALL HARDWARE AND FITTINGS FOR TIGHTNESS EACH WEEK!

WARNING: Ensure proper Chemistry (Brush Lubrication) is used in the Car Wash Tunnel to prevent vehicle and equipment damage.

Daily:

  • Check all hydraulic, air, and chemical lines/fittings for leaks. Repair or replace as needed.
  • Check brush operation, listening for unusual noises.
  • Inspect brush cloth for cuts, grease, or oil. Remove, repair, or replace any affected cloth panels.
  • Check retract and extend operation for smoothness and correct pressure.
  • Check for proper chemical solution delivery.

Weekly:

  • Spray lubricant on clevis pins at both ends of retract cylinders.
  • Grease brush shaft bearings, avoiding contact with brush cloth.
  • Drain water from FRL and check lubricant level in FRL.

Monthly:

  • Inspect all hardware and fittings for tightness.
  • Grease UHMW pivot bearings, avoiding contact with brush cloth.
  • Inspect bumper stops for wear to ensure air cylinders have not reached their travel limits. Worn stops can be flipped to extend life.
  • Inspect soap solution spray nozzles for wear; replace as necessary.
  • Thoroughly clean the equipment and framework.

Semi-Annually:

  • Carefully inspect brush equipment cloth for wear and damage; replace as necessary.
  • If fluid in reservoirs is contaminated, drain, purge, and refill.
