OperatingInstructions
Rotating wheel brushes
To achieve thorough cleaning of wheel rims, the system
may be equipped with an optional washing assembly
featuring two rotating wheel brushes. The individual wheel
positions are registered by light barriers. The revolving
brushes are pressed against the wheels
through pneumatic cylinders. During wheel washing,
the brushes change their direction of rotation in order
to achieve the best possible washing result.
Used water connection
This makes it possible on the system side to use rain
water or recycling water as a part substitute for fresh
water.
Foam wash
The foam wash option permits the vehicle to be sprayed
with foam before the wash takes place.
“NOT-AUS” (EMERGENCY STOP) button
In the event that an imminent hazard threatening persons,
animals or property is detected, the system must be
instantly deactivated by pressing the “NOT-AUS”
(EMERGENCY STOP) button. You will find an
“EMERGENCY STOP” button
non the control unit
non the wash card reader.
