    LW 4000 Problems

    .......get between the short t-bar and wall, take your finger and slide it up over the photo eye. Now look across the finger lining up with the photo eye on the long t-bar. The arch should be at least an inch or so out of your sight line (also take your foot and push back on the arch while...

    under carriage sensor problems

    Barking up the wrong tree? .....the undercarriage eyes should be "blocked" when the car gets between them and turns on the spray. If the sun is getting just the right spectrum of light to the receiver and effecting it, the receiver would think the eyes are "not blocked" and no spray. I'd...

    Laser 4000 goes wide

    I'd think you also have a problem with inputs coming from X-30. Go back and double check all the mechanical aspects first. Make sure the tires are up and have equal pressure (25lbs). Look for any visible damage to the X-30 prox or flags. Can you see where the prox has been rubbing across the...

    Laser 4000 Dryer Runs Continuously

    .......Print off a current configuration report before you pull that battery off. Check all the settings to see if anything has changed from the last configuration report. If the memory has been corrupted, it can cause unusual actions. A "cold start" may take care of it. If you remove the...

    Laser 4000 goes wide

    Are the snap rings holding the trolley rollers on all 4 trolley rollers? If one's missing, the high pressure could be pushing the arch and trolley towards the entrance (increasing the gap between the X-30 prox and the counter bar) making the X-30 prox miss pulses on the counter bar as it's...

    Dually Trucks

    Your L4000's should be able to wash any dually just fine. You may need to check what your setting is for the "length measurement adjustment" in the Programming "Automatic Parameters" menu. Normally the "length measurement adjustment" is set at "4", you may need to set this at "5" or "6" to make...

    You just add the Trifoam option number to your System Option number. Your Distributor may be able to help with this over the phone.

    laser 4000 goes to far to right

    To me, sounds like you have a couple different problems. Going over too far to the right probably has something to do with the lack of enough X-30 inputs. X-30 prox and cord good? Do you have all 14 tabs on each counter bar on the inside of trolley rails? Do you have ver. 2.1 software on the...

    Pdq M5

    Yes, it can be programmed to blow/purge the water out of the arch before the drying pass. Use the "help" icon at the top of the browser, the setting (about 20 seconds to purge) should be on the dryer page in "setup" , .....but may be on the wash package setup.

    Spot Free Filter

    The easiest, safest way I've found to get those end caps out without cracking/breaking something is to pull out the retaining pins, wrap a couple rounds of electrical tape around the vessel over the holes for the retaining pins, then snug down a hose clamp on top of the tape over the holes (use...

    Buy New RO Membranes or acid wash?

    I'd try to clean them too. On all three membrane systems I've seen, 250psi on system pressure is not good, 200-225psi is the recommended max on a lot of R/O units.

    Help PDQ problems

    If it was using 4 chemicals and 3 of the hoses from the solenoid valves are going up to the overhead manifold and 1 hose going down to the inlet side of the high pressure pump, it would be set up for 2-step soaps. After 1995 (?), the top solenoid was soap1, 2nd down was low pressure wax, third...

    PDQ Virtual Treadle

    That's a "warning" if the #5 LED is lit when the selection switch is in the #2 position, "errors" would be lit when the selection switch is in the #1 position. The only thing that has anything to do with a "count" would be the X-30 prox switch that's counting the tabs on the counter bars on the...

    Heating Presoak?

    At 175psi, an .086 injector (lp soap or wax) will flow about 2.5 gpm. An .057 injector will flow about 1.25 gpm. To be safe and try not to run out of hot water, I'd size the heater to flow 4-5 gpm.

    Need advise on RO reject pump

    If you could put that holding tank on legs and get it up close to the ceiling (may need a horizontal tank), you could "gravity" feed the water back down to the rinse tanks saving the money for a pump and the electricity to run it. ........just a thiught.

    Electrical gurus, I need a little help.

    Pat, This is still not the answer your looking for, but if the charger has a 16 hr. cycle, it has to has some kind of timer built into it. Could it be easier to disable/jumper out the timer in the charger?

    Glad this isn't my carwash

    Actually, it "may" not be as bad as it looks. It looks like it's in it's "home" position. A G-5 is a lot different than a 4000 or M-5. I would think the wash had lost power for a few days in that extreme cold to have that much ice on the bay floor (that would explain de-ice boiler not keeping...

    Glad this isn't my carwash

    lol, I'm sure glad I didn't have to go get that one back up and running! That poor G-5 looks like it had plenty leaks before it froze, ain't no telling what all busted after it froze! Man,that looks sad!

    Laser 4000 In-Bay Lights

    I've ran into problems like you were describing several times in the past, it always turned out to be a wire corroded in two in the junction box! It seems like that junction box is a moisture magnet.

    Laser 4000 In-Bay Lights

    mad, anytime I've ever seen a problem with the inbay signage, it was due to the wire/connections corroding in the junction box on the sign. Take the cover off the junction box (2 screws) and gently tug on all connections to see if any are corroded apart. They could be just touching each...
