Start by checking your bridge tire pressures. They should be between 25 and 28 psi. If they are right then you may have a bad bridge gearbox.

Yes. If you have 240 3 Phase VAC then the power company will typically supply you with 250 VAC with spikes up to 275 VAC. This will cause the 24 volt stepdown transformer to put out 27 - 28 VAC. Anything over 26.5 VAC will usually take out the dual amplifier for the stop/backup eyes. What...

I would just replace the hopper switches on the quarter hopper and token hopper on the Hamilton. The switch is $40-$50 each. Then you can reset the controllers and most likely get the Hamilton working. After you get going and have some capital, I would look at making improvements to the...

We used reflectors to create guide lines on the floor, but you can also set the abort zone on the VT to kick them out of the bay if they are too far to the right.

I used .083 injectors for all four setups. I didn't see any hazing and I did run the Salt Assault year round. I also ran the COMPASS setup with CPS101 instead of CPS104 but we had eyebrow issues in late November and December every year, so I switched to CPS104 year round.

Reliably removing the eyebrow requires constant attention to 5 details. They are water quality, water temperature, chemistry, impingement, and dwell time. With a touchless you can not just set it up and walk away. You must constantly check to make sure your draws and pressures are staying the...

The Startup Test Wheel Well means that the X31 input was on during a startup test. This causes the machine to believe there is a vehicle in the bay. Unless you have 20C in your A5000 this will shutdown the car wash until it is forced to do a new startup test and sees the problem cleared. If...

MEP001 is right. All paints are beholding to the layers under them. You will need to get all the old paint off before you can get any paint to hold up. Just out of curiosity, what type of setup is preventing you from using panels? They are a lot less labor intensive and hold up well.

I wasn't clear. Spot Free was listed as an option on the dial but it didn't work. As far as selling the washes, it was too good an offer to say no. I have been considering buying another wash though. Servicing Car Washes keeps me in the industry but it's just not the same as operating.

So last year I sold all our car washes, moved, failed retirement, and went to work as a service technician repairing car washes. Since I no longer own my own car wash, I went to the local self serve to clean my wife's car on my day off. The self serve just changed hands and the new owner has...

The bolt doesn't run through the water channel in the head it has it's own chamber machined into the manifold. On a Razor the two heads are fed by the Flex Arch that runs across the carriage on the back of the machine. If you just want to run the heads then you will have 10 nozzles that...

It's part of Wash World's Flex Arch. It can be used for high pressure, low pressure, and Spot Free. It uses V-jet nozzles like the inverted L spray arch. The bolt passes through it and allows you to adjust it's aim.

The Double Barrel doesn't save water but does create more impingement giving you greater cleaning capabilities. Other things to remember about it are that due to the need to mount the rails 4 inches higher, it requires a higher ceiling than a Razor. It uses a swivel system similar to a G5 to...

Is the Tbar impact sensor working. It is also on X32.

You could have the bottom 4 inches of the lower arches and lower arch cover cutoff so that it will fit. It should only remove 1 nozzle from each of the two arches

Have you checked the Encoder prox?

This might work. The head is 3.25 inches but is polypropylene so it might compress enough to get into and out of the opening in a 5 gallon container.

The roller shafts are different for bearing rollers versus greased rollers. Since you have a freestanding dryer I would recommend staying with the greased rollers. They are easier to change. The only advantage to the bearing rollers is that you don't have to grease them, but the bearings can...

You can replace all the rollers with the ones PDQ used on it's docking dryers. They require a different shaft and two bearings per roller but do not need to be greased. The tire bearings would simply need to be replaced with sealed grease less bearings with the same specs. While this would...

If you are just using single barb injectors then I like the Dema better. It can be rebuilt and holds up really well. If you are using dual barb injectors then the hydraflex are easier to install and get the soap lines on.
