Water Feed Installation:
 Your MCWW ROCKERZ™ requires a water supply of 2 to 3 GPM for both wheels. Reclaim or fresh water
can be used. Install a 1/2" water hose from a dilution station to the WATER MANIFOLD (Picture # 17)
located inside the leg.
NOTE:
USE 3/4" NPT HOSE
IF THE LENGTH OF THE HOSE BETWEEN
THE DILUTIONSTATION AND YOUR
MCWW ROCKERZ™ IS GREATER THAN 50 FEET

REVISION 2.3 10-07-20 www.motorcitywashworks.com 11
Start Up and Operation:
 Manually turn on your HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT and set the hydraulic flow control valve for a WHEEL
SPEED OF 88-90 RPM for a ROCKERZ™ SIDE WHEEL using COTTON CLOTH™.
If your ROCKERZ™ SIDE WHEELS are equipped with C-CHANNEL FOAM, set the WHEEL SPEED
between 88 - 90 RPM.
 Check all hydraulic lines for leaks. Turn the hydraulic power unit OFF.
NOTE: IF THE ROCKERZ™ SIDE WHEELS ARE
ELECTRIC DRIVE, THE WHEEL SPEED IS PRESET AT 88 RPM.
USING A VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE (VFD) INSTEAD OF A
STARTER UNIT ALLOWS FOR WHEEL SPEED ADJUSTMENT.
REFER TO RECOMMENDATIONS ABOVE FOR OPTIMAL
WHEEL SPEED ADJUSTMENT
 Manually turn on the WATER DILUTION STATION and confirm that the SPRAY NOZZLE COVERS the
wheel from top to bottom. Turn OFF your dilution station. Consult your MCWW Dilution Station Installation
manual for adjustment.
 Run a car through the wash and verify the proper operation of both ROCKERZ™ SIDE WHEELS. Confirm
wheel speed under vehicle load with the HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT SET AT 1000 PSI. Open hydraulic
flow control valve or increase hydraulic power unit pressure if needed to reach recommended speed value
previously specified. DO NOT EXCEED 1250 PSI AT THE HYDRAULIC UNIT!
Maintenance:
DAILY:
 Check for hydraulic leaks, chaffed hoses electrical cable, etc.
 Visually inspect for any sign of wear.
 Move the arms manually and duplicate its regular motion and look for abnormalities: A loose fastener may
allow some parts to move or rub and may create a dark “stain” running down the equipment.
 Start the day with a “TEST WASH” and check for proper operation.
 While you are watching the TEST WASH, check for clogged nozzles. If a nozzle is clogged, remove the
nozzle body (see Picture #15) and clean the nozzle by inserting a small piece of wire (a small paper clip
wire can do fine!) in the nozzle opening.
 Check for proper coverage of the two Streamer™ Foamers if applicable.
 Check for the overall performance of the equipment on the vehicle: Profiling, cleaning, etc.
 Wash down your equipment and the surrounding area at the end of each day.

MONTHLY:
All MCWW equipment is assembled with the highest quality bearings and have been factory pre-lubricated,
therefore, they do not require supplemental grease for the first month of operation.
Use any lithium-based NLGI #2 grease (ex: Exxon Mobil MOBILITH AW2).
WARNING!
OVERLUBRICATION IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF BEARINGFAILURES!
LUBRICATE CONSERVATIVELY!
 After the first month of operation, grease each bearing (see Picture #16 and 17).
 Wash your equipment with a solution made of a mild degreaser and water. Rinse thoroughly.
 Perform daily maintenance.
