Working environment conditions:
- Relative humidity ranging from 30% to 95% without condensation;
- Temperature ranging from 0°C (32 °F) to +55°C (131 °F) .
CAUTION
before placing the wheel washer in its working position:
• open the washing chamber door and remove the granulate recovery basket from inside the washing chamber.
• Close the washing chamber door.
• remove the tank inspection lid.
• remove the bag containing the plastic granules, the segregation bulkhead and the other accessories.
• Insert the segregation bulkhead inside its guides and make it slide till the bottom of the tank as shown in Figure 7A.
• reposition the inspection lid.
The wheel washer body is provided with two handling cross bars on the lower side, running along the left and right side of the wheel washer body,
on which the wheel washer shall rest in case it is moved by means of a fork lifter (Fig.6).
WARNING
When using a fork lift to move the wheel washer, do not let the wheel washer rest on any other part of the wheel washer body other than
the two bars provided for this use. Lifting the wheel washer by letting any other part of the wheel washer body rest on the fork of a fork
lifter leads to danger of severe injuries or death for the operator or any other person standing by the wheel washer and will damage the
wheel washer body.
After placing the wheel washer in its working position, wind the Tefl on tape clockwise around the male thread of the coupling on the front end corner
of the wheel washer.
CAUTION
It is critical to wind Tefl on tape the proper direction. hold the pipe in your left hand and the Tefl on tape in your right hand. When looking
at the end of the pipe, wind the Tefl on tape clockwise around the male thread so that the your taping hand is traveling downward on the
right side of the pipe (Fig.7C).
Screw the drain hose on the coupling on the front end corner of the wheel washer. Secure the drain hose free end into the hose support on the rear
of the wheel washer (Fig.7B).

CAUTION
make sure that the drain hose is fi rmly secured by the hose support to prevent it from inadvertently detach from the hose support and fall
on the ground, thus leading to water spillage from the wheel washer body to the workshop fl oor once the wheel washer body is fi lled with
water.
IMPORTANT: for correct, safe use of the equipment, users must ensure a lighting level of at least 300 Lux in the place of use.
WARNING
The machine must not be operated in potentially explosive atmosphere.
