    Check out this link or google clearing your cache in internet exporer and there is a good chance it will walk you through it step by step. Much like the ACF, the internet will give you answers to most any problems. i haven't used IE in years. Artificial intelligence has ruined me...

    Error message 403 (Forbidden)

    You can clear out your cache in Explorer first. It should be under preferences or tools or something like that. If that doesn't work you might not have the correct plug-in for something on the website. Really, IE is probably the worst browser anyway. You should download Google Chrome or Firefox...

    Air Lift Door Problem

    I know it would be a good bit of work, but you could swap the door controllers and see if it moves to the entrance door. Intermittant problems are the worst!

    PDQ Access not talking with L4000

    Photo of access relay modules. I am not sure if this photo upload is working or not. The modules are depicted by the red arrows

    PDQ Access not talking with L4000

    If this is like my Access B unit it will have a relay module. This module will have one wire coming out of it for each wash package you are offering. When mine went bad (two times), I had the exact same problem. The nice thing is, that if you can locate it, they usually have one that is not in...

    sensortron double pulse

    Keep in mind, that I am pretty sure Sensortrons have at least a two, and maybe three year warranty. I am losing my memory in my old age! You can also send back for repair.

    Door photo eye amplifier

    The best price I could find on these exact amplifiers was from Dultmiers. I have had to replace at least three of these. Make sure that you use the exact model number because there are AC and DC models that are similar and will work but will not be correct.

    V-Blog #43—A Year’s Experience and Observations on Multi-Vend Vendors

    Sometimes (most times) you need to locate vending where it will fit and still be functional. If I could afford the expense or the space to put a vending machine in each of my bays and additional vending machines near all of my vacs I would do it and I am assuming this is where you think they...

    New Oscillating Boom Arm

    I have about 5 bad oscillating motors sitting in a milk carton. I want to throw them away. Any use for anyone? I might be able to make one good one out of the five. But will ship the others to whoever wants them for repair if they pay for shipping.

    Weird 3 Phase Electrical Problem

    I just got off the phone with a golfing buddy of mine who is a retired lines man for the power company. He is convinced that it is a loose connection as well. Most likely the neutral because it is a different leg this time and we were getting wide varying voltages from the other legs a few days...

    Weird 3 Phase Electrical Problem

    Snowing like crazy this AM. Show up at wash and lost one leg of the three phase again. What to do? What to do?

    Weird 3 Phase Electrical Problem

    Mac, The only problem with blaming the transformer is that the power company is pulling 120V from all three legs on stripped back wire on the pole in front of my wash. It then goes directly into the conduit underground. Then when they check my meter box it was previously only pulling only 10V...

    Blendco SuperSat

    Why do you think that his liquid surfactant would be as strong as Blendco's powder tank? I'm not disputing your comment but just want to understand. With the little chemistry knowledge I have, my understanding is that in Blendco's system the water is unable to absorb that much powder and hence...

    Weird 3 Phase Electrical Problem

    I was thinking that it might be water problem as well. I am not sure how to blow water out of 200' span of 3" conduit though.

    Weird 3 Phase Electrical Problem

    OK, show up this AM to meet electrician. All three phases working again. Temperature 35 degrees, sunny, snow melting, the exact same thing that happened to me last year. A real head scratcher.

    Blendco SuperSat

    I am a Blendco user. In my estimation you are not using their system correctly if you do that. Their system is designed to have a super saturated alkaline solution, probably much higher than anything you have as a liquid alkaline. If you want to use a duel tip inductor, and experiment with their...

    Weird 3 Phase Electrical Problem

    I lost one leg of my three phase at my wash this AM. The power is good from transformer but I lose one leg at the service box where the meter is located without any load. I have an underground service through 3" conduit. Power company seems to think wire burned underground or was somehow...

    Need a blower motor for coleman 2.0

    I know a lot of people will not agree with my method but it has proved very effective for me. First you need to have garage doors with tracks. I lay a ladder across both door tracks right where the end of my door tracks attach to the ceiling. I run the gantry down underneath the ladder. I block...

    3 Phase water proof quick connect plugs?

    Mac what do they use? Are they three phase (4 wire) plugs? I might be interested.

    3 Phase water proof quick connect plugs?

    Reds, I have been tempted to do what you're doing on a number of occasions but never felt comfortable because of the harsh environment. Even a small junction box inside the side gantry would make this easier. I am going to explore some of these options. If any of them work well, I will let you...
