1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This User Manual will provide important information
concerning the Drester GP 24 by Hedson (GP 24), and
will describe how to use the Wheel Washer safely. Read
the entire User Manual before using the unit. For safe
use, it is important that the unit is handled properly. It
is important that you follow the instructions carefully.
Please refer carefully to all pictures in the end of this
document for a complete understanding.
2. PURPOSE OF THE MACHINE
This machine is designed for cleaning of vehicle wheels
i.e. the tyre and rim assembly. Any other area of use is
prohibited.
PLEASE NOTE: A flat tyre cannot be cleaned in the
machine as it will not rotate properly.
This high quality piece of equipment for professional
users increases the service level and the efficiency in the
workshop.
The wheel washer cleans the wheels with an
environmentally friendly cleaning method. Plastic beads
(shot medium) and water are blasted onto the rim with
low pressure, ensuring a gentle and thorough cleaning
for all kinds of rims. The dynamic flush pipe moves
slowly over the rim outside during the cleaning process
and reaches every spot on the rim, especially good
for cleaning high polished alloy rims, big tyres (SUV,
transporters), and more sophisticated rims.
The GP 24 Wheel Washer cleans the wheels in an
environmentally friendly way. The machine works with
a closed water system, and the water consumption per
washed wheel is very low, approximately 1 L/wheel. The
plastic beads and water clean the wheel thoroughly yet
gently and no detergents or chemicals are needed. GP
24 Wheel Washer can be used with an optional water
cleaning system.
3. SAFETY INFORMATION
Hazards may arise from improper use of the GP 24. In
order to maintain the high safety standard of the unit, it
is important that these instructions are followed.
• Do not operate the unit until you have read and fully
understood this entire User Manual.
• The unit should be installed as described in the
instructions.
• The unit should be used as described in the
instructions.
• The unit should be maintained as described in the
instructions.
• Only original spare parts must be used.
• This User Manual must be available and in legible
condition in close proximity to the unit. Every user
should know where to find the User Manual.
• Operating instructions should be formulated on the
basis of this User Manual for GP 24, and translated
into the language spoken by the employees.
• Do not modify or in any way alter the unit.
• Wear goggles or similar, to protect your eyes from
splashing water.
• It is absolute vital to sweep the floor regularly to
avoid risk for a slippery floor (see picture 11).
• When using equipment that handles warm water,
there is a risk of harmful bacterium emerging (water-
and/or airborne diffusion), especially if the water has
been left non-operative in the machine for a while.
We therefore recommend the following procedures:
• By adding a bactericide to the water in the
washing compartment (art.no. 230521, 2 litre per
300 litre water)
• To empty out the water of the machine when not
using it.
• Caution: Before removing the MotorCompartment-
Cover (see picture 3), make sure to disconnect the
power supply and the airline supplying compressed
air (see picture 4) to the machine.
• Caution:The MotorCompartmentCover (see picture
3) may only be removed by authorized personnel
due to exposure of moving parts and easy access to
electrical parts.
• This EU model may not be sold in North America.
4. DETERGENT
There is a special detergent developed for this Wheel
Washer if required. Article number: BIO-291
PLEASE NOTE: Warranty is void if a non-approved
detergent or chemical is used in the machine.
5. SHOT MEDIUM
The DoublePower shot medium mixture of plastic beads
that is blasted onto the wheel to clean it is carefully
designed to give the best possible washing result
without damaging the rims. It has specially adapted
floating properties, degrees of hardness and wearing
qualities. The DoublePower shot medium can be
ordered using the number 230794 (bag containing 20
kg). In an empty Wheel washer 20 kg Shot medium is
needed.
PLEASE NOTE: Warranty is void if non approved plastic
beads are used in the machine.

6. INSTALLATION
• First of all, check if the machine has been damaged
during the transport. If so, report this immediately to
the transport-company.
• Remove the packaging and check again that the
machine has not been damaged during the transport.
If so, report this immediately to the transport
company.
• The machine must be lifted from the right side, where
the service lid is placed.
PLEASE NOTE: The forklift must reach all the way under
the machine (see picture 1) and under the crossbeam
(see picture 2).
• Make sure there is adequate space for the machine to
operate (see picture 14).The machine requires 2 x 3,5
meters when used with two trolleys. For every extra
trolley the machine requires two meters extra (see
picture 14).
• The floor space must be even and horizontal in all
directions where the machine will operate.
• Connect compressed air of max 12 bar (174 psi) and
min 8 bar (120 psi). The connector is placed on the
right side of the unit (see picture 4). Make sure that
the air feed line to the machine is large enough to
avoid pressure drop.
• Open the door and remove the shot medium basket
(see picture 17). Put the basket aside for use later
when changing the water (see chapter 12). Empty the
enclosed bag with shot medium completely into the
machine.
• To the below left in the wash room there is a red
water level indicator (see picture 12) with two
notches. Fill the machine with water, so that the shot
medium level is within the lower notch (see picture
13) of the indicator.
PLEASE NOTE: Correct water level is extremely
important (see chapter 12).
• The machine is equipped with phase recognition
which will prevent the pump motor and rotation
motor from running in the wrong direction. If phases
are connected incorrectly, the machine will be
disabled until phases are switched. This is shown in
the LCD with title PHASE ERROR.
• If one or two of three phases are missing, the machine
will recognize this and the title PHASE MISSING will
be shown.
• In case any of these problems occur, they must be
corrected by a professional electrician.
• If there is a risk of temperature below 0ºC, the
machine must be emptied of water. Otherwise the
pump as well as the bottom tray will be damaged if
the water freezes.
7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Turn on the red/yellow main switch (see picture 3).
2. Place the wheels in the trolley (see picture 15).
Check that the wheels stand straight and lean on the
supports on the left with the outside of the rim facing
right, to avoid damaging the rim.
PLEASE NOTE: Decoration covers i.e. plastic centre
cap and valve caps must be removed before washing
the wheel (see picture 7). This may cause operational
disturbances if falling off during the wash cycle (see
chapter 19).
Wheels with surfaces protruding more than 13 mm
(1/2”) beyond the tyre, are under no circumstances to
be washed in the Wheel Washer (see picture 8). The
protruding surfaces can be damaged.
3. Move the trolley to the machine. Place the trolley so
that the second wheel support is placed to the right of
the lid (see picture 22).
4. When the trolley stands in position and is pressed
towards the machine, the display will show the picture
below and the machine will automatically lower the
guide rail and lock the trolley to the machine then the
trolley is moved one stop to the left.
If the trolley is placed too far to the left, picture below
will be shown on the display and the trolley must be
moved to the right.
If the trolley is placed too far to the right, picture
below will be shown on the display and the trolley
must be moved to the left.
5. Start the machine (see chapter 11.3) by pressing one
of the operation buttons.
6. When the machine is washing a wheel from a
trolley, another trolley can be connected to the
first one (maximum of 4 trolleys can be connected
all together). This allows the machine to continue
washing without interruption. Please note that when
the trolley is moving no trolley may be connected.
7. When the last wheel on the trolley is washed and fed
out from the machine, the guide rail is lifted and the
trolley is disconnected from the machine. The display
will show the picture below and the trolley needs to
be removed from the machine.
Finally, always check that there are no shot medium left
on the rim before it is mounted onto the car.

GP 24
8. RUNNING-IN
When the machine is new, the inside surface of the
pump and pipes will be smoothened and fragments
of the shot medium will disengage. An extra change
of water and rinse of the machine after 100 washes is
therefore strongly recommended. The shot medium
should then also be rinsed with water while they are
collected in the basket.
9. ALARM
Three types of alarms can occur in the machine, A-, B- or
C-types.
Type A-alarm: The machine will stop immediately and
the error code and description will be shown on the
display. The error must be corrected before trying to
start again.
Type B-alarm: The machine will still be able to operate
but the specific function i.e. immersion heater will be
turned off.
Type C-alarm: The machine will stop immediately and
the error code and description will be shown on the
display. To correct a C-alarm the machine needs to be
turned OFF, otherwise the machine will not be able to
restart.
Example: If emergency stop is pressed this screen will
be shown with error code and a short description.
Pressing enter will show an instruction to turn off
machine and correct the error.
When the machine is turned on again STOP-button
needs to be pressed for 3-seconds to confirm that the
error is corrected.
For a list of all alarms see chapter 19.

11.5.1 STATISTICS
STATISTICS Totals
The machine logs total number
of washes, total operated time
and total number of shot
medium collections.
STATISTICS Energy
The machine is equipped with
an advanced current monitoring
system which makes it possible
to determine the consumption
of the pump motor.
This is shown as an average
consumption/wash and is
automatically reset every time
the machine is cleaned. The
value is different depending
on how long the average wash
cycle is.
STATISTICS 7 days
The machine can also identify
the amount of use during the
last seven days, illustrated in
a graph. This can be used for
identifying peaks in work load.
11.5.2 WATER CHANGE
If the CleanRinse is being used
in the machine, the water change
intervals may be increased to
approx. 400 washes.
11.5.3 WORK HOURS/
INTELLIGENT HEATER
The GP 24 is equipped with
an intelligent water heating
system that saves up to 50%
more energy than a traditional
thermostat controlled heater.
Enter the time for when the
machine should be ready for
washing in the morning, the
time for when the machine is
no longer used in the afternoon
and which weekdays the
schedule should be active.
The machine will then
automatically start heating
the water in time so that it is
at desired temperature at the
“STARTTIME”. The machine is
default set at 7:00-16:00, MON-
FRI. This means that the water
will be at operation temperature
between these hours.
If intelligent heating for some
reason isn’t desired, set the time
schedule from 00:00-00:00,
MON-SUN and the heater will
keep the water warm 24 hours,
7 days a week.

12. CHANGE OF WATER
After washing 300 wheels, the water must be changed
and the machine cleaned.
PLEASE NOTE: If moving the unit filled with water, the
forklift must reach all the way under the machine (see
picture 1) and under the crossbeam (see picture 2).
1. Top up with water until the water level reaches the
upper notch of the red level indicator (see picture 12
and 13). Place the shot medium basket in the wash
compartment and close the door. PLEASE NOTE:
Place the shot medium basket with the side opening
to the left (see picture 17).
2. Press the shot medium collection button (see
chapter 10) and let the machine run until it stops
automatically
(approx. 5 min). Confirm that water level is raised
by pressing ENTER. If needed, run this shot medium
collecting program twice.
As the shot medium is collected in the basket, you
can easily check that you have the correct amount of
shot medium, by checking that the shot medium level
reaches the 20 kg marking on the side of the basket
(see picture 17). If this is not the case, top up with
more shot medium.
3. PLEASE NOTE: Always turn off the main switch
before emptying out the water in the machine!
Let the water out by putting the lower drain hose on
the floor (see picture 3). The waste water from this
machine should be let out through an oil separator.
If required, the machine can be equipped with an
environmentally friendly water cleaning and filtering
system. It will separate the waste and the water, so
that the water can be emptied into the drain. After
having used the Hedson Water cleaning system, the
waste water fulfils all water authority requirements.
Please contact your local water authorities for more
information about local limit values.
4. Remove the dirt sediment from the bottom of the
machine with a hand bailer and then rinse the
machine. PLEASE NOTE: The residues from the
machine must be handled as hazardous waste.
Put the shot medium back into the water by turning the
basket over inside the machine and top up with water
until the lower notch of the red level indicator is reached
(see picture 13).
PLEASE NOTE: Always turn off the main switch before
emptying out the water in the machine! The heater will
automatically be turned on again after starting a wash
cycle.

13. DAILY MAINTENANCE
(see picture 12 and 13)
The water level must be checked daily and adjusted
when needed. The machine will not operate properly if
the water level is wrong. It will wash less efficiently and
the risk of blocking the flush pipes will increase.
Check that no foam develops in the machine. This can
happen if you wash many wheels from cars that have
just been cleaned in automatic car washers. Likewise
foam can develop if you add detergents other than the
recommended (see chapter 4) to the water. Foam will
cause malfunction. The machine will wash less efficiently
and the risk of blocking the flush pipes will increase.
If shot medium is spilled on the floor it is absolute vital
to sweep the floor regularly to avoid risk of slippery
floor (see picture 11).
14. SERVICE
• Before removing the MotorCompartmentCover (see
picture 3), make sure to disconnect the power supply
and the airline supplying compressed air (see picture
4) to the machine.
• The MotorCompartmentCover (see picture 3) may
only be removed by authorized personnel due
to exposure of moving parts and easy access to
electrical parts.
15. IMMERSION HEATER
(See picture 20)
• The immersion heater default setting is scheduled
so that the water temperature is at operation
temperature between 07:00 and 16:00, Monday to
Friday (see chapter 11.5.3).
• The factory setting of the water temperature is 45ºC.
This value may NOT be increased since the water will
be too hot and lead to risk of burning injuries.
• PLEASE NOTE: Always turn off the main switch
before emptying out the water in the machine!
The heater will automatically be turned on again after
starting a wash cycle.
16. CLEANRINSE
The GP-24 is equipped with an extra cleaning feature,
rinsing the wheels with clean tap water after finished
wash cycle and before blowing starts.
If the CleanRinse is being used in the machine, the water
change intervals may be increased to approximately
400 washes.
CleanRinse can be turned off, see chapter 11.4.
17. WATER CLEANING AND WATER
HANDLING (OPTIONAL)
The dirt on the wheels that are washed in a Hedson
wheel washer is the dirt from our roads and cars. This
dirt might also contain heavy metal residuals, especially
copper from the brakes, zinc and nickel. The permitted
limit values differ locally. Please contact your local water
authority about the handling of the waste water.
The waste water from this machine should be let out
through an oil separator. If required, the machine can
be equipped with an environmentally friendly water
cleaning and filtering system.
Hedson Technologies AB has developed an easy and
effective waste water cleaning method. The method
consists of a coagulation powder (art.no. R12076) that
is added into the machine while stirring the water. The
coagulation powder binds the heavy metal particles
through flocculation and these bigger particles can be
filtered away (art.no. R12038 hose filter and
art.no. R12037 basket filter). The purified water fulfils all
limit values and authority requirements.
When using equipment that handles warm water, there
is a risk of harmful bacterium emerging (water- and/or
airborne diffusion), especially if the water has been left
non-operative in the machine for a while. We therefore
recommend the following procedures:
• By adding a bactericide to the water in the washing
compartment (art.no. 230521, 2 litre per 300 litre
water)
• To empty out the water of the machine when not
using it.
PLEASE NOTE: BIO-291 or any other detergent must
not be used in the machine when using the Hedson
water cleaning method!
Contact your local sales rep. for information.
