*GENERAL OPERATION*
Top Brush Operation
Brush rotation starts and stops with a signal from the Customer supplied Controller
system. This Controller Start-Stop signal should also control soap solution delivery to the
spray bar on the brush.
BE CERTAIN THAT THE BRUSHES ROTATE AGAINST VEHICLE TRAVEL
With the brush rotating (against the direction of vehicle travel and at proper RPM) the
vehicle’s front hood contacts the brush and brush travels across the vehicle maintaining
steady contact while washing the hood, just after the front windshield the brush should
smoothly change directions to wash the roof and rear of the vehicle.
Proper cloth penetration on flat vehicle surfaces should be 3 to 4 inches. As the
brush rounds corners, such as on windshields, the cloth penetration may be greater,
but not deeper than half the distance to the aluminum brush core.
Retract Operation
When there is no vehicle approaching the brush the tunnel controller will retract the brush
from the wash position, toward the ceiling. This can also be set up in the controller to
retract for the beds of trucks to avoid problems.
It is recommended that the brush be retracted for:
1. Sun visors mounted over the windshield.
2. Any racks mounted on the roof.
3. Rear wipers on Acura Integra’s and Mazda RX-7’s unless they are taped down.
4. Open bed pickup trucks.
