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.

• 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-

been left non-operative in the machine for a while.
We therefore recommend the following procedures:

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

due to exposure of moving parts and easy access to
electrical parts.
