WARNING
make sure the wheel has a tire suiting the rim installed, that the tire bead are seated on the rim grooves and that the tire is inflated at
least 1 bar (15 psi).
The wheel washer is meant to wash wheel composed of a rim and a tire suiting the rim properly assembled onto the rim. Washing a rim
alone, a tire alone, a wheel with a mismatched rim-tire combination or with a tire not properly assembled onto the rime may lead to dama-
ging the rim, the tire or the wheel washer.
WARNING
Washing a wheel with the tire bead not set on rim grooves or with a tire inflated to an insufficient pressure or not inflated at all may lead
to water and plastic granulate penetrating inside the wheel, causing unpredictable unbalancing of the wheel and damage to the rim or to
TPms sensors eventually assembled into the rim.
• Put the wheel with its own tire to be washed on top of the washing chamber door with the outer side facing right, i.e. towards the control
panel and as shown on the instruction panel mounted on the internal side of the washing chamber door (Fig.10).
• Roll the wheel along the washing chamber door and upon the front horizontal support roller inside the washing chamber until it rests up
straight on the two horizontal support rollers. If the wheel cannot stand by itself, make it rest against one of the two vertical stabilization
support rollers on the left and right side of the washing chamber. In this case it is not necessary that the wheel stands perfectly vertical as
it will stand automatically up right as soon as the rear horizontal support roller starts rotating driving the wheel to spin around its own axis.
CAUTION
The washing and drying systems on either side of the washing chamber are optimized so that optimal washing and drying effect is achie-
ved by placing the outer side of the wheel facing right (Fig.10). Placing the wheel inside the washing chamber with the outer side facing
left will lead to reduced effectiveness of both the washing system and the drying system.
• Close the washing chamber door. The red LED on the right of the LCD display will turn off and the LCD display will revert showing the
main operating page.
• Depending on the size and type of the wheel rim and on the amount of dirt on it select the right washing program. 4 main washing pro
grams are available:
1. 30 and 60 seconds washing programs are mainly aimed at washing wheels with a steel rim or particularly cleaned wheels. They are acti
vated by pressing the " 30" " or " 60" " button on the control panel respectively.
2. 90 and 120 seconds washing programs are mainly aimed at washing wheels with an alloy rim or particularly dirty wheels. They are activa
ted by pressing the " 90" " or " 120" " button on the control panel respectively.
NOTE
Further 2 special washing cycles are available and selectable from the console: a short washing program (pre-washing) and a long washing pro-
gram (continuous washing). Read further on this manual for details about these additional washing cycles.
• After pressing the button corresponding to the desired washing program, the blue led by the pushed button will turn on, the LCD display
will show "STARTING" on the first line and the driving motor will start rotating leading the wheel to spin.
• After a few seconds the pump motor will start and the pump will draw water and plastic granules form the machine body and send them to
the washing nozzles mounted on the two sidewalls of the washing chamber, that will in turn divert them towards the spinning wheel.
• The LCD display will show "WASHING" on the first line and the time remaining to the end of the washing cycle.
CAUTION
Pressing the red "sToP" button at any time during the washing cycle will make the blue LEd by the button corresponding to chosen wa-
shing cycle turn off and the LCd display show "sToPPINg" on the first line, while the pump motor and the driving motor come to a stop.
After a short while the LCd display will revert to the main operation page.
CAUTION
While performing either a washing cycle (read further in this manual for information about washing cycles and how to perform them), an
additional drying cycle (read further in this manual for information about the additional drying cycle and how to perform it) or the fast
warming cycle (read further in this manual for information about the fast warming cycle and how to perform it), opening the washing
chamber door will make the red led by the LCd display turn on and the LCd display show "sToPPINg" on the first line while the pump
and drive motor come to a stop.
NOTE
Closing the washing chamber door and pushing the green "RESET" button will make the LCD display show "WAIT" for 5 seconds, then the opera-
ting cycle being performed will restart form the point where it was interrupted.
