Wash
The wash begins with the Cube® Carriage at the exit of the bay when the vehicle pulls onto the treadle position. The
Carriage will traverse on the frame rails, each motion of the Carriage from (front to back) or (back to front) is considered
one pass. The machine moves back and forth over the full length of the vehicle in pass order determined by the

instruct the driver to pull forward. If the machine is not at the exit when the wash is finished it will move rapidly to the
exit position.
