Start Up and Operation:
Manually turn on
your
HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT
and set the hydraulic flow control valve for a
WHEEL
SPEED OF 88-90 RPM
for a
ROCKERZ™ SIDE WHEEL
using
COTTON CLOTH™.
If
your
ROCKERZ™ SIDE WHEELS
are equipped with
C-CHANNEL FOAM,
set the
WHEEL SPEED
between
88 - 90 RPM.
Check
all hydraulic lines for leaks. Turn the hydraulic power unit OFF.
NOTE:
IF THE ROCKERZ™ SIDE WHEELS ARE
ELECTRIC DRIVE, THE WHEEL SPEED IS PRESET AT 88 RPM.
USING A VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE (VFD) INSTEAD OF A
STARTER UNIT ALLOWS FOR WHEEL SPEED ADJUSTMENT.
REFER TO RECOMMENDATIONS ABOVE FOR OPTIMAL
WHEEL SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Manually turn on
the
WATER DILUTION STATION
and confirm that the
SPRAY NOZZLE COVERS
the
wheel from top to bottom
.
Turn OFF your dilution station. Consult your MCWW Dilution Station Installation
manual for adjustment.
Run
a car through the wash and verify the proper operation of both
ROCKERZ™ SIDE WHEELS.
Confirm
wheel speed under vehicle load with the
HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT SET AT 1000 PSI.
Open hydraulic
flow control valve or increase hydraulic power unit pressure if needed to reach recommended speed value
previously specified.
DO NOT EXCEED 1250 PSI AT THE HYDRAULIC UNIT!
Maintenance:
DAILY:
Check for hydraulic leaks, chaffed hoses electrical cable, etc.
Visually inspect for any sign of wear.
Move the arms manually and duplicate its regular motion and look for abnormalities: A loose fastener may
allow some parts to move or rub and may create a dark “stain” running down the equipment.
Start the day with a “TEST WASH” and check for proper operation.
While you are watching the TEST WASH, check for clogged nozzles. If a nozzle is clogged, remove the
nozzle body (see Picture #15) and clean the nozzle by inserting a small piece of wire (a small paper clip
wire can do fine!) in the nozzle opening.
Check for proper coverage of the two Streamer™ Foamers if applicable.
Check for the overall performance of the equipment on the vehicle: Profiling, cleaning, etc.
Wash down your equipment and the surrounding area at the end of each day.
