•Phosphoric Acid
•Hydrogen Cyanide
•Hydrochloric Acid
•Chlorinated Solvents
Belanger, Inc., does not endorse or condone the use of chemicals that are potentially dangerous
to human health, the environment or property. Belanger recognizes that it is the right and sole
decision of the end user operators of our equipment as to the type and dilution ratio of the
chemicals used in their facilities. We strongly recommend that the end user does not select
products containing any of the chemicals listed above as an ingredient in the wash solutions.
The chemicals listed above are potentially dangerous to human health, and have a detrimental,
deteriorating effect on the equipment and the facility. Be advised that a portion of, or all of your
warranty will be voided if you determine to use any of the chemicals listed above as an ingredient
in the wash solutions in conjunction with your Belanger automatic car wash equipment:
Limitation (4), of Paragraph (8), Limited Warranty, of the Belanger Terms and Conditions of
Sales describes the potential limitation of warranty due to your chemical selection:
(4) This warranty shall be void for all equipment failures and premature component wear
caused by the use of corrosive chemicals in the wash process. The following list includes
some, but not all, of the particularly corrosive chemicals that if used in conjunction with
Belanger equipment will void the warranty: Hydrofluoric Acid, Ammonium Bi-fluoride, Bromic
Acid, Muriatic Acid, Sulfonic Acid, Phosphoric Acid, Hydrogen Cyanide, Hydrochloric Acid,
and Chlorinated Solvents. The Purchaser also agrees to accept the responsibility and liability
for the selection and use of any chemicals listed above.
However, should the end user decide to use formulations containing any of the above
ingredients, the end user should institute a comprehensive training program and implement
detailed operational parameters within their organization for the proper handling and treatment
of such products to minimize the potential dangers involved. Consult your chemical supplier for
assistance in establishing operational guidelines in the use of their products. MSDS (Material
Safety Data Sheet) should be obtained from the chemical supplier before using any chemical
formulation.
CAUTION
During the installation process the installer is responsible for re-tightening
ALL lugs, set screws and terminals located in the electrical panels.
Components may vibrate loose during shipping.

Chapter 1 Introduction
IMPORTANT Safety Information –MUST READ
Safety Warnings
DISCONNECT THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY AND
DISSIPATE ALL POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
ENERGY SOURCES PRIOR TO SERVICING OR
MAINTAINING EQUIPMENT
Belanger® recommends that all workers observe the OSHA (U.S. Department of
Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration) Lockout / Tagout procedure
to dissipate all potentially hazardous energy sources (i.e. - electrical, mechanical,
hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, etc.) prior to performing service or
maintenance on machinery and equipment.
Note: Reference the OSHA standard for the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), Title 29
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.147 and the example provided in 1910.147
Appendix A for practices and procedures necessary to disable machinery or equipment, thereby
preventing the release of hazardous energy while employees perform servicing and maintenance
activities. The standard outlines measures for controlling hazardous energies –electrical,
mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, and other energy sources.
Note: Reference the OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.331 to 29 CFR 1910.335 for safe work practices to
protect employees working on electrical circuits and equipment. This section requires workers to
use safe work practices, including lockout and tagging procedures. These provisions apply when
employees are exposed to electrical hazards while working on, near, or with conductors or systems
that use electrical energy.
Note: Both referenced OSHA standards can be found at the following website:
http://www.osha.gov/law-regs.html. Browse to the General Industry tab under the Find an OSHA
Standard heading, scroll down to the link of interest and click on it.
Doing so will prevent unexpected energization, startup, or release of hazardous
energy while maintenance and servicing activities are being performed.

Chapter 1 Introduction
UL Information
This applies when an optional door controller is installed
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons all material and
instructions intended for Belanger® system and door operator shall be
read and comprehended. If materials/instructions are not present, they
must be obtained prior to beginning installation/modification.
The Door Control System shall not be installed at locations that don’t
provide a Service entrance. The service opening shall be labeled as an
exit and placards installed on vertical door indicating no pedestrians.
The Belanger® system is not intended for use as source of preventing
injury to persons, nor is it intended for entrapment or obstruction
protection as described in UL 325. This equipment is intended to
enhance the system by signaling the doors desired position but be
overridden by operator’s safety features. The operator that is in direct
control of the door must independently provide entrapment protection
in accordance with UL325. Installation of the Belanger® system shall
not interfere with primary or secondary entrapment protection, nor
interfere with any provided safety features of the door operator.
The installer shall evaluate the existing/new operator requirements for
maintaining UL325 compliance, Examples include loss of being in
accordance when parallel connections are made to up/down buttons,
or loss of being in accordance when upward motion brings door
within 2 feet of a solid object, etc.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Scope of This Manual
This Introduction Section is intended to:
•Address the installation portion only.
•Help you to understand how the installation manual is organized.
•Encourage planning and organization.
•Address safety issues.
Installation Manual
This is the manual that covers the installation and initial startup of a Cube®system. In this
manual there is very little content as to the operation, maintenance, troubleshooting and
replacement parts of the Cube® system. For those items please refer to the Cube®
Maintenance manual and any other supplied support documents.
How the Manual is Organized
The installation manual starts off with a "punch list" of activities that must be performed during
the installation phase. The list is fairly comprehensive and provides a general order in which
the tasks should be completed to minimize installation time.
This list also acts as a directory for the remainder of the manual. Now is a good time to review
the Recommended Installation Sequence checklist in chapter 2.
The last section of the installation manual is concerned with initial startup. A checklist format
is provided as a walk- through of starting up and fine tuning the Cube®system.
Planning and Organization
The installation manual assumes that your Belanger® Representative has already visited the
site, taken measurements, and quite possibly sent drawings showing equipment locations.
The installation manual also assumes that all these items have been thoroughly reviewed by
the site General Contractor and Owner. If that is not the case, now is the time to do so. For
your convenience, the "Getting Started" section reiterates some of the critical points of a
Cube®installation. Primarily, the “Getting Started” section addresses equipment placement
and electrical considerations to ensure the Cube®system is installed successfully. If there
is a planning question not covered in this manual, please contact your Belanger®
Representative immediately.
Ensure a Safe Work Environment
The job site can be a hectic place. Often deadlines control the pace. Please keep, Job Site
Safety, in mind at all times. Proper use of all safety gear (safety glasses, hard-hats, footwear,
shields, guards, etc.) is imperative. Be aware of electrical concerns (exposed conductors,
extension cords, proximity to water, power tool maintenance, etc.). Be sure to obey OSHA
Lockout/Tagout procedures (Refer to 29 CFR 1910.147 and the example in 29 CFR
1910.147 Appendix A) and that everyone on site understands this process. Rigging (forklift
operation) is another concern. Minimize slip, trip, and fall potentials consistently. In short, be
aware of OSHA considerations, in addition to rules and regulations put in place by your local
authorities.
It is imperative to your safety and the safety of others to always follow safe
work procedures.
