PURPOSE OF THE MACHINE

This machine is designed for cleaning of vehicle wheels i.e. the tyre
and rim assembly. Any other area of use is prohibited.
PLEASE NOTE: A flat tyre cannot be cleaned in the
machine as it will not rotate properly.
This high quality piece of equipment for professional users
increases the service level and the efficiency in the workshop.
The wheel washer cleans the wheels with an environmentally
friendly cleaning method. Plastic beads (ShotMedium) and water
are blasted onto the rim with low pressure, ensuring a gentle and
thorough cleaning for all kinds of rims. The dynamic flush pipe
(W12) moves slowly over the rims outside during the cleaning
process and reaches every spot on the rim, especially good for
cleaning high polished alloy rims, big tyres (SUV, transporters), and
more sophisticated rims. W10 cleans with two fixed nozzles with a
sophisticated nozzle geometry. (See picture 24)
The W10 and W12 Wheel Washer cleans the wheels in an
environmentally friendly way. The machines work with a closed
water system, and the water consumption per washed wheel is
very low, approximately 1 L/wheel. The plastic beads and water
clean the wheel thoroughly yet gently and no detergents or
chemicals are needed. All the W10 and W12 Wheel Washers can
be used with an optional water recovery system.

understood this entire User Manual.
- The unit should be installed as described in the instructions.
- The unit should be used as described in the instructions.

- Do not modify or in any way alter the unit.
- Wear goggles or similar, to protect your eyes from
splashing water.
- Keep the enclosed rubber mat in front of the machine (see
picture 12) at all times, to prevent slipping if ShotMedium
is dropped on the floor when using the machine.
- Educate the user for ergonomic lifting of wheels in and out
of the machine. Use QUICK LIFT option for an ergonomic
handling of the wheels. Clean up spills of ShotMedium on
the floor immediately.
It is absolute vital to sweep the floor regularly to
avoid risk for a slippery floor (see picture 13).
- The unit is equipped with a safety breaker that will
interrupt the automatic wash cycle if the door is opened
before the wash cycle is completed.
- When using equipment that handles warm water, there
is a risk of harmful bacterium emerging (water- and/or
airborne diffusion), especially if the water has been left
non-operative in the machine for a while. We therefore
recommend the following procedures:
• By adding a bactericide to the water in the washing
compartment (art.no. 230521, 2 litre per 300 litre
water)
• To empty out the water of the machine when not using it.
Caution: Before removing the MotorCompartmentCover
-
(see picture 3), make sure to disconnect the power supply
and the airline supplying compressed air (see picture 4) to
the machine.
Caution: The MotorCompartmentCover (see picture 3)may
-
only be removed by authorized personnel due to exposure
of moving parts and easy access to electrical parts.
- This EU model may not be sold in North America.
