START-UP AND OPERATION
Before starting the washer check all electrical and compressed air connections. Prior to delivery to the customer, every
new washer performs a trial washing cycle in the factory in order to check if the machine operates properly and clean it
and its components from possible contaminations deposited during the production process. The delivered washer is
ready for operation after connecting it to the electric power and compressed air supply.
The person responsible for start-up and further operation of the washer should be properly trained by the washer
manufacturer in the area of washer design, operation and use, and should know occupational safety rules valid in the
given workshop, with particular attention paid to the machines and devices powered by compressed air. Moreover, this
person should be familiar with this instruction manual in detail.
To start the washer operation, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the main SG switch on.
2. Open the washing chamber flap and then fill the chamber with water up to the lowest level on the red level
indicator located inside.
3. Pour about 20 kilograms of granulate to the basket (this amount corresponds to the level indicator on the
basket), then pour the basket content to the washing chamber.
4. Add about 3 litres of WULKAN TURBO washing concentrate and top up the mixture with water to the upper line
on level indicator. The level of such prepared washing medium should not exceed the line on the level indicator
corresponding to the maximum allowable level and should not be lower than the minimum level.
5. Close the washing chamber flap and turn on the water heating system. It is recommended to set the thermostat
indicator between MIN and MAX positions. It is not recommended to adjust the thermostat to maximum position.
Our experience and tests show that best washing results are obtained when the washing medium temperature
is set to 50 degrees Celsius. The water heating system installed in the washer is equipped with temperature
limiting device which protects against overheating that can damage the washer.
NOTE: NEVER TURN THE HEATING SYSTEM ON IF THE WASHING CHAMBER IS NOT FILLED WITH
WATER TO REQUIRED LEVEL, OTHERWISE THE HEATER CAN BE DAMAGED.
6. Press the ‘1’ pushbutton corresponding to the shortest washing time (20 seconds) and perform first trial washing
cycle (without the wheel). Then it is possible to start the basic washing operations.
7. Evaluate the degree of wheel contamination. Before inserting the wheel to the washing chamber remove all
movable items: plastic decorative hubcaps, balancing weights, valve protective caps and labels on the tyre,
since they may clog the sprinkling nozzles or even damage the main pump. Never wash the wheel in the
washer if the tyre is flat as a result of prolonged storage without inflation, since such wheel will not rotate and
can damage the washer.
8. Carefully close the washing chamber flap. Do not let the flap go until it is fully open or closed.
9. Operating the knob on the front panel position the roller of pneumatic wheel stabilisation unit in proper position,
depending on the wheel width:
