Maintenance
General
•
Keeping in mind that the insta-KLE
EN™ Wash System can be attended or unattended, and
there may n
ot be a “Car Wash Expert” on site, the intention here is to highlight potential
areas of preventative maintenance and to cover some of the more day to day type of
adjustments.
•
The car wash manager on site may determine that he/she is capable of all items. capable of
some items, or not capable of any of the items. However, even if the latter is true, an
awareness of these items is crucial to success. Being able to recognize problems and solve
them, or to communicate the
m to a “Car Wash Expert” will greatly decrease down time.
•
The most critical item in the day to day maintenance is a daily inspection to ensure that all
of the system is operating correctly. As simple as this may sound, unless the previous
operational descriptions are read, and thoroughly understood, this cannot be overstated,
and has direct implications on vehicle damage, and expensive equipment repairs.
•
One should look for equipment malfunction, entangled debris, clogged nozzles, low
chemicals, etc. These items are broken down and elaborated on in the following sections.
•
To keep the machinery clean, nightly wash downs are recommended. Weekly cleaning of
the aluminum frames should also be done.
•
One of the best cleaning methods that has been found is to use a bronze wool pad with a
citrus base cleaner. How
ever, a Brillo™ or S.O.S.™ scrubbing pad can also be used. Rinse
thoroughly. Not only does it clean the surface, but is it also polishes the aluminum as well.
See Maintenance Schedule.
•
Inspect utilities for leaks periodically. Leaks can be costly.
•
The last two pages of this section are two identical pages of a basic Maintenance Schedule.
One is laminated so that it can be taken into the tunnel with out worrying about moisture.
The other is to remain in this book as a back up. Also, in the following paragraphs there is a
breakdown of preventative maintenance and basic Adjustments (where applicable) for each
machine.
