    LW 4000 Spray Arch scratches again. Need help..

    I buy blue foam that they use on roll bars, it is soft and when it starts to look old I replace them. I also buy the blue zip ties. Very cheap and keeps the arch looking nice. You will need to cut the holes for the nozzle locations but that is simple.

    Hand bay signage - upgrade

    The signage in by hand bays are looking old and I am looking to do some upgrades. Any input on where to get some? Are hand bay signs important? Should I go with color or flashy ones or ones that are just to the point? How many is to many?

    PDQ M5 - ultrasonic sensor

    PDQ M5 - ultrasonic sensor

    Yes it is the photo eye amplifier. I don't like doing this but this is what others said you can do. Take the amplifier for the eye you that controls the problem you are having and switch it out with another amplifier and if the problem moves to where you moved the amplifier then it is the...

    PDQ M5 - ultrasonic sensor

    I do not have a M5 but I have a 4000 and have had the same issue. The under-body coming on is the sensor usually the transmitter or it is the amplifier. Over the past 12 years it was mostly the sensor. As for the bridge going to far back I found it to be the same. Either it is the sensor...
