INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to furnish the owner and operator with a set of practical, safe instructions on the use and maintenance of the product.
Follow all the instructions carefully and the machine will give you an efficient and long-lasting service, making your work considerably easier.
The following points define the levels of danger regarding the machine, associated with the warning captions found in this manual:
• DANGER: Refers to immediate danger with the risk of serious injury or even death.
• WARNING: Dangers or unsafe procedures that can cause serious injury or even death.
• CAUTION: Dangers or unsafe procedures that can cause minor injuries or damage to property.
Read these instructions carefully before powering up the machine. Keep this manual and all illustrative material supplied with the machine in a
folder near the tyre changer where it is readily accessible for consultation by the machine operators. The technical documentation supplied is con-
sidered an integral part of the machine; and must always accompany the equipment if it is sold or transferred to a new owner. The manual is only to
be considered valid for the model with the serial number indicated on the nameplate applied to it.
WARNING
observe the contents of this manual: the producer declines all liability in the case of uses of the machine not specifically described and
authorized in this manual.
WARNING
This machine must be used only by qualified and authorized personnel. A qualified operator is construed as a person who has read and
understood the manufacturer's instructions as well as the tires and wheel rims manufacturers, is suitably trained, and is conversant with
safety and adjustment procedures to be adhered to during operations. Use of the machine by unskilled staff may constitute a serious risk
for the operator and for the final user of the product processed (the wheel rim and tyre assembly).
Some of the illustrations in this manual could have been taken from photographs of prototypes: standard production machines may vary in some
respects. These instructions are intended for people with basic mechanical skills. Do not attempt to perform operations unless properly qualified and
with suitable experience. In case of need, contact an authorized Service Centre for assistance.

PRODUCT FEATURES
The electronic wheel washer is a complete system for washing and drying of car and light van wheels made up of a metal rim and a tire, with the tire
bead seated on the rim grooves and the tire inflated.
CAUTION
It is not intended for washing of truck or motorbike wheels of for washing of rims or tires alone.
The wheel washer cleans the wheel blasting it with low pressure water and two different types of special plastic granulate while it spins, imposing
low contact pressure on the rim and tire and thus preventing damages to it that may arise using high pressure water blasting or hard abrasives.
Drying is achieved by blowing the wheel with compressed air.

(*1) The smooth running of the wheel inside the washing chamber is granted for a max projecting spoke rim of 15 mm (0,6"). Over 15 mm the effect
could be in excessive bumping of the wheel against the stabilisation rollers even if the integrity of the wheel will be granted anyway.
