    brushes

    Unfortunately, the 21821-002 CORE/AL PIPE,4-3/4"X24-5/8 is no longer available. We do have the 21821-019 available, but it's slightly longer at 25-1/4" in length. For the brushes, it looks like the brush you are looking for is 22499-012, and that should be available. If you would like...

    Softgloss Maxx Q10 breaker keeps kicking

    Please look inside your control cabinet and you should find a blue label that shows what that circuit protector should be set to. Make sure it's set properly. Most likely it's exactly what Steve mentioned tripping on some area of the vehicle that is catching the brush. The second most likely...

    Softgloss Maxx Q10 breaker keeps kicking

    Q10 should be your right rear brush circuit protector.

    New Automatic for short bay

    A "standard" recommended minimum would be 11'-4"H x 34'-9"L (to use track extensions) x 15'-2" W. You can go down to 14'-6" width without having any issues. These would be for a machine without an off-board dry, so free and clear space. By adding the short bay kit, you can get it down to as...

    New Automatic for short bay

    A Softgloss will work fine in that bay using a short bay kit to close the rear arms when it travels towards the entrance

    Ryko Top Brush

    The arm proxes should all be "off" when the arms are fully retracted (out). As the arms come in, the proxes should turn "ON", and as they go fully closed, they should go "off". If you have one shorting on when fully retracted, the machine shouldn't arm. If it wasn't shorted when armed, and it...

    How many guys have 2 IBA's?

    The Softgloss can wash a dually, so long as you don't use wheel scrub. If you use the HP wheel blaster, it would work fine. For the customizability of wash packages, this year, we released WashBuilder which will give you much more flexibility in letting you create the wash package you would...

    Short bay, need suggestions...!!!

    In a 33' bay, a Softgloss with on-board dry can wash up to around a 21' long vehicle using a short bay kit. The short bay would allow the rear arms to fold in during non-brush passes so it can travel further to the rear.

    Ryko OHD gantry stuck - will not move

    All, if you are following this thread, the K12 (drive reverse) relay had an internal wire come loose.

    Ryko OHD gantry stuck - will not move

    No. Just use the forward/reverse drive switches. Without the endstop proxes being connected, that will likely allow the machine to move. What can happen is that if you have a machine that is driving reverse, and the front endstop prox flickers for some reason, the machine knows it's out of...

    Ryko OHD gantry stuck - will not move

    It most likely had a flicker of one of the endstop proxes while it was in a cycle causing it to be out of sequence. Please try removing wire 45 from PLC input X51, and also wire 46 from PLC input X53. This should allow you to manually drive the gantry. Drive it to the middle of the track...

    Intermittent Softgloss Code 14

    Please try to push the machine just a little and cause it to rock. If it does, most likely one (or both) of your drive wheel keystocks are either worn, or at least loose. The set screws in the reducer collars that lock the keystock into position need to be tightened monthly. If they have been...

    Ryko OHD lp intermittent issue

    Is this a US2001 OHD model machine? If so, what is the serial number? Which breaker is tripping? It should be marked with a Q followed by a number. I agree it's likely a water solenoid coil pulling too much current.

    Intermittent Softgloss Code 14

    Glad that seems to have worked! You will want it about 1/4" (or less) away from the face of the prox to the target plate to work best.

    Intermittent Softgloss Code 14

    Most likely, yes. Possible it could be a connection, but more likely it will be the prox. Take a look at the face and make sure it hasn't shaved the front from too close of contact to the trip plate. The 8811 code indicates the front endstop is shorted on, and the sequence code 0122 is when...

    Intermittent Softgloss Code 14

    Great! That helps! 8812 is front endstop prox open code, so the PLC isn't always seeing that input when it thinks it should. If it is happening in sequence code 0000 (machine not in cycle), then it's losing it while at home position. It can also happen when driving from rear to front as it...

    Intermittent Softgloss Code 14

    When the machine is parked at home position, you should have PLC input X7 for the front endstop turned on. As the machine drives forward, that prox should detect the target and cause the machine to decelerate until it parks within 1" of the endstop bumpers with it's track stays on the inside of...

    Ryko UltraSonic 2001 not hitting driver side

    A code 77 is related to the dryer air-flow flags not transitioning properly, so if you have a Thrust Pro, the follower likely isn't dropping for you. Which model of machine do you have? If wall mounted, is it the older US2001 OHD model, or is it a Radius which also uses ultrasonics? For...
