Friction Passes from Exit to Entrance (Odd Pass Numbers)

This pass is most commonly used to clean top surfaces, back surfaces, side flat surfaces and behind raised edges on sides.
This is the pass mostly responsible for cleaning the back of the vehicle.

Top Wheel on Top Surface of Vehicle
Top wheel will turn on and lower immediately after pass begins. It will momentarily raise during anti-skunk and
lower back down. It will also raise up and turn off over the bed of pick-up trucks. Care should be taken when
adjusting back speed during top wheel pass. If back speed is too fast, the top wheel will be pulled off the back
window of cars before cleaning it.

Exit Wheels on Sides of Vehicle
The exit wheels will typically turn on and come in a user selected number of inches back from the home
position. They should come in on the sides of the vehicles and not the front. The setting is for the vehicle with
the smallest distance from the front rims to front bumper. Therefore exit wheels will come in further back on the
vehicle if it has a long front end. This is okay because that surface of vehicle is cleaned when machine is
traveling in the other direction. The point at which exit wheels make contact with side of vehicle is affected by
this position and by the front speed set in the package. Care should be taken to not be rough on either the front
corners or the mirrors as wheels come into side of vehicle.

Enter Wheels on Sides of Vehicle
Enter wheels will turn on and come in at lower pressure at start of pass. After machine has traveled back
approximately where enter wheels are past mirrors, enter wheels will shift to higher pressure. At this point in
pass, only enter both in output will be on. The individual pneumatic only outputs will not be on.
Enter Wheels on Back of Vehicle (VERY IMPORTANT TO CLEANING BACKS OF
VEHICLES)
When enter wheels are about to get to rear corners of vehicle, the carriage will slow to the enter wheel speed
shift speed. This speed must be set slow enough for wheels to remain in contact with back of vehicle during
arms rotation.
When passenger side arm comes in far enough to sense reed switch, the passenger side inward pneumatic
output will turn on. Also the machine will travel a user selected number of inches past the point where read
switch was sensed. The travel past switch position is to allow passenger side cylinder to fully extend and for
arm to be fully in. After this travel passenger side pneumatic will turn off and driver side pneumatic will turn on.
After this shift the carriage will travel forward approximately 10 inches. Once the forward jog is complete the
carriage will travel back to its original destination. This motion only occurs if ANTI-SKUNK is enabled.
Some physical adjustments significantly affect this speed shift speed; the ability of machine to clean back of
vehicles, and balance of exit wheel penetration. These physical adjustments are as follows:
LEVEL MACHINE – a non-level machine will cause one arm to penetrate more than another and/or one to
come in faster than another. See chapter 4 of Installation and startup manual.

ARMS PIVOTED INWARD – the arms need to be pivoted inward for them to come in fast enough to wash the
back. If one side has more penetration than the other or one side is slow the arms may need pivoted inward.
This is typically done by turning off air, loosening main pivot bearings, holding arm pivoted to center bay, then
tapping upper bearing towards center bay, then tapping lower bearing away from center bay. If only on side is
slow, pivot it inward first, then test. See Vehicle testing in chapter 9 of Installation and startup manual.

SET ENTER ARM AIR PRESSURE – turning up the pressure increases speed at which they rotate inward, but
it also increases the penetration.
The typical way to setup enter wheels is to confirm machine is level, then conform arms are pivoted inward, and
then set pressure, then set speed shift speed last. See Wheel rotation & pressure settings in chapter 9 of
Installation and startup manual.
