My Mark VII GTO 300 is slipping on the track with A-310 error code. It doesn't get out of the home position. If it does move out of home it is very slow and seems to slip in position or move erratically. The temperature gets above freezing and everything is fine. Would the gantry move with a...

My GTO 300 HubScrub in not washing the rear wheels, only the front. I believe it maybe a photo eye. I'll do further checking tomorrow to see if it's the photo eye. I believe the eye maybe a Banner or it maybe proprietary for Mark VII. What part number and brand are you GTO owners using for the...

At one of my locations I have a Mark VII GTO 300 with Hub Scrub. The Error Code is 600, wash signal received when not at home. It is a nuisance error code that needs a reset to get the wash back in operation. I have stand alone dryers which add to the problem of this error code. On the top...

I remember when I resided in California that a gas purchase on a credit card was an additional fee to consumer. Is is possible when purchasing a wash with a credit card via the ACW that the fee could be added to the ticket? It would help our bottom line if that fee were passed on to the...

My ACW and Hamilton Changer were compromised Saturday 6-21-08 at one of my locations. Both have XE validators. I believe on or two methods were used. I have contacted Hamilton and they stated to look for various means that may have been used. This is an advisory to the NC owners that the bad...

Bob Krist. The card reader is not releasing the card. Needlenose plyers are needed to get the card out of the validator. I can understand failure but the Goldlines are around 3 years old. I've had two failures on two Goldlines. This failure is on the newest and least used reader. Is this a...
