It is recommended to clean the washer on regular basis; such cleaning should consist in daily inspection of washer and
removing dirt from the sedimentation tank located in the front part of washer. Due to special design of the sedimentation
tray bottom, which is inclined towards the front of washer, the natural sedimentation process causes dirt to accumulate
on the bottom in the front part of tank. This part is easily accessible after lifting the service flap. This operation can be
performed also when the washer is running. The sedimentation tank is separated by a barrier preventing granulate from
entering the sedimentation tank area. Upon completion of 500 washing processes and resetting the service lock it is
necessary to evaluate the degree of washer contamination. If wheels being washed were just slightly contaminated,
then after resetting the lock the washer can continue work. Upon completion of another 500 washing processes and
next activation of service lock it is obligatory to clean the washer thoroughly and replace both water and granulate with
fresh ones. This will ensure further, proper operation of washer and effective washing of wheels.
If the washer has to be relocated to another place, remember that it can be lifted by a forklift and the fork has to be
inserted from the front side of washer, otherwise the bottom of tank can be damaged.
To clean the washer, proceed as follows:
1. Open the washing chamber flap.
2. Ensure that there is enough water in the washer, otherwise top up water to the upper level on the level gauge.
3. Insert the basket (delivered with the washer) to the washing chamber, close flap and perform the longest
washing cycle twice.
4. Upon completion, remove the basket with recovered granulate and top up the amount of granulate to the level
indicated on the basket.
5. Lift up the service flap of sedimentation tank and remove the barrier.
6. It is recommended to leave water in the washer for some period of time (e.g. for a weekend) to allow dirt to
collect on the tank bottom as much as possible, in order to prevent entering it into sewage system later on.
7. Drain contaminated water.
8. Remove dirt deposited on the tank bottom by using a small scoop and collect it in special container for
hazardous waste material; then thoroughly rinse the barrier, tank and washing chamber with a stream of water
from a hose.
9. Upon completion of cleaning re-insert the barrier, close the service flap of the sedimentation tank, fill the
washing chamber with water, pour the granulate from basket, add about 3 litres of WULKAN TURBO
concentrate and top up with water to the upper level on the level gauge.
10. When the washing medium is prepared, the washer can continue the work.
The removed dirt should be treated as hazardous waste and disposed of in compliance with valid regulations. The dirt
should be neutralised by using commercially available substances designed for such purpose.
