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.

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.
