NOTE: Adding non approved detergents may lead to excessive foam formation and spillage from the wheel washer body. It could happen
also washing wheels with freshly greased tyres as the lube paste used during any tyre mounting activity contains soap. In this case, operating
the machine with an on-going foam formation process may lead to granule collection inside the pump and pump motor overloading and
operation disruption due to tripping of the motor protection circuit breaker protecting the pump motor from overloading. The display will show
message "ERR 1".
REMEDIES
o Use the standard supplied blowing gun to free the water spray nozzles and pump adduction tubes from granules and other residuals
which may have obstructed the nozzle openings.
o If the pump remains blocked even after having repeated 4-5 times the above listed operation, contact an authorized Service Center for
assistance.
o Collect all the granules following the procedure described in the manual and drain the water from the tank.
o Rinse the wheel washer body and the granules thoroughly to eliminate any foam residual and fill the wheel washer again with clean water.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
o Wash wheels only before proceeding with tyre demounting/mounting activity (Do not wash greased wheels).
o Use only approved detergents.
