Section 2: Installation
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
To prepare to install the machine, choose an unob-
structed, level site that allows convenient access for
operators and maintenance personnel. Sources for
water and electrical power should be located near the
installation site. If your machine is equipped with the
optional power brush and hand detail brush you must
also run a compressed air line to the installation site.
If you have any questions regarding the installation,
please contact your distributor or call a customer ser-
vice representative. When contacting customer service
please refer to the machine identification tag inside the
front cover of this manual for detailed machine specifi-
cations.
STEP 1: MAKE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
These machines are shipped with a factory-installed
power cord. To connect the machine to a power supply,
plug the cord into a grounded outlet on a single-outlet
circuit. It is important that you connect the machine to
a single-outlet circuit to avoid possible damage result-
ing from inadequate supply amperage.
STEP 2: CONNECT A
COMPRESSED-AIR LINE AND
ACCESSORIES
This step is required for machines equipped with the
optional power brush and hand detail brush.
If your machine does not have these options, skip the
following procedure.
Note: To ensure proper operation and to minimize the
possibility of premature component failure, make sure
the compressed air is supplied at 75 to 90 psi. We also
recommend an in-line moisture trap and an in-line lu-
bricator on the main air supply line. Refer to the docu-
mentation provided with the power brush for more in-
for mation.
Step 1:
Remove the power brush from the box, install the wire
brush in the chuck, and connect the air hose.
Step 2:
Familiarize yourself with the three-way air flow valve
(See Figure Below), then install a fitting (if necessary)
to accommodate a connection to your compressed-air
supply.
Step 3:
Connect the shop compressed-air line to the machine.
Step 4:
Connect the hose from the power brush to the air flow
valve.
Step 5:
Hang the power brush on the bracket mounted along
the right side of the machine.
STEP 3: CONNECT A WATER
LINE
This step is required for machines equipped with the
optional automatic water fill feature. If your machine does
not have this option, skip this step.
The optional automatic water fill feature automatically
maintains the correct water level in the sump. The fea-
ture requires that you connect the machine to a dedi-
cated water supply line.
To connect the machine to a water supply line, attach a
suitable burst-proof hose to the hose connection on the
rear of the machine (See Figure Below), then connect
the hose to a nearby water spigot.
