TRIPLE FOAMING STICKS

Maintenance

Routine Procedures
Daily
• Start every washday with a “Test Wash” to insure proper operation of all equipment.

• Inspect the component for clogged nozzles. This can best be done while running the “Test Wash” in the
morning. Nozzles can be cleaned by removing the nozzle bodies and tapping or inserting a thin wire into the
nozzle opening.

• Check operation to insure uniform foam is being applied where applicable. This is best checked while running
the “Test Wash” in the morning.
• Check the chemical injection pump(s) to insure that the pump is properly primed if applicable. This is done by
checking the chemical inside of the clear supply tubing. There should be no bubbles or breaks in the fluid (if
applicable).

• Check overall performance for any abnormalities on the first few vehicles washed each day.
• Hose down the component and surrounding area at the end of each wash day. This will remove the majority of
the dirt and other debris that builds up during a wash day.

• Check for water and chemical leaks after equipment is turned off.
Weekly
• Check all mixing tanks periodically for sludge build-up on bottom. If too much sediment is evident, drain tank
and clean (if applicable).

Monthly
• Wash component down with a good degrimer such as Tide laundry detergent and hot water.
Quarterly
• Disassemble and flush out both sticks (chemical buildup occurs inside of the manifolds and the enclosed mesh
pads, both of which will impair performance).

• Scrub down aluminum portions of the component with a fine steel wool such as S.O.S. pads and wash with
good degrimer such as Tide laundry detergent and hot water (whenever using steel wool on aluminum, always
follow the grain to prevent scratching the finish).

• Replace mesh pads located in the bottom of the manifolds.
Semi-Annually
• There is a grease fitting located on the gearbox opposite of where the electric motor mounts. This fitting is there
so the shaft bearing can be greased, because there is not enough splash from the ring gear to lubricate the
bearing.
• It is recommended that one squirt of a general-purpose grease be applied every six months.
