Routine Procedures
Daily
•
Start every wa
shday with a “Test Wash” to ensure proper operation of all equipment.
•
Inspect the component for clogged nozzles. This can best be done wh
ile running the “Test
Wash” in the morning. Nozzles can be cleaned by removing the nozzle bodies and tapping
or inserting a thin wire into the nozzle opening.
•
Dump any water that has settled in the air compressor or install a timed pump valve (not
supplied).
•
Check operation to ensure the uniform foam is being applied where applicable. This is best
be checked while running t
he “Test Wash” in the morning.
•
Check the chemical injection pump(s) to ensure that the pump is properly primed if
applicable. This is done by checking the chemical inside of the clear supply tubing. There
should be no bubbles or breaks in the fluid (if applicable).
•
Check overall performance for any abnormalities on the first few vehicles washed each day.
•
Hose down the component and surrounding area at the end of each wash day. This will
remove most of the dirt and other debris that builds up during a washday.
•
Check for water and chemical leaks after the equipment is turned off.
Weekly
•
Check all mixing tanks periodically for sludge build-up on the bottom. If too much sediment
is evident, drain the tank and clean (if applicable).
•
Grease ball bearings.
Monthly
•
Wash component down with a good degrimer such as Tide laundry detergent and hot
water.
Quarterly
•
Scrub down aluminum portions of the component with a fine steel wool such as S.O.S.
pads and wash with good degrimer such as Tide laundry detergent and hot water
(whenever using steel wool on aluminum, always follow the grain to prevent scratching the
finish).
