12. CHANGE OF WATER

After washing 300 wheels, the water must be changed
and the machine cleaned.
PLEASE NOTE: If moving the unit filled with water, the
forklift must reach all the way under the machine (see
picture 1) and under the crossbeam (see picture 2).
1. Top up with water until the water level reaches the
upper notch of the red level indicator (see picture 12
and 13). Place the shot medium basket in the wash
room and close the door. PLEASE NOTE: Place the
shot medium basket with the side opening to the left
(see picture 17).
2. Press the shot medium collection button (see
chapter 10) and let the machine run until it stops
automatically
(approx. 5 min). Confirm that water level is raised
by pressing ENTER. If needed, run this shot medium
collecting program twice.
As the shot medium is collected in the basket, you
can easily check that you have the correct amount of
shot medium, by checking that the shot medium level
reaches the 25kg marking on the side of the basket
(see picture 17). If this is not the case, top up with
more shot medium.
3. PLEASE NOTE: Always turn off the main switch
before emptying out the water in the machine!
Let the water out by putting the lower drain hose on
the floor (see picture 3). The waste water from this
machine should be let out through an oil separator.
If required, the machine can be equipped with an
environmentally friendly water cleaning and filtering
system. It will separate the waste and the water, so
that the water can be emptied into the drain. After
having used the Hedson Water cleaning system, the
waste water fulfils all water authority requirements.
Please contact your local water authorities for more
information about local limit values.
4. Remove the dirt sediment from the bottom of the
machine with a hand bailer and then rinse the
machine. PLEASE NOTE: The residues from the
machine must be handled as hazardous waste.
Put the shot medium back into the machine by turning
the basket over inside the machine and top up with water
until the lower notch of the red level indicator is reached
(see picture 13).
PLEASE NOTE: Always turn off the main switch before
emptying out the water in the machine! The heater will
automatically be turned on again after starting a wash
cycle.

13. DAILY MAINTENANCE

(see picture 12 and 13)
The water level must be checked daily and adjusted
when needed. The machine will not operate properly if
the water level is wrong. It will wash less efficiently and
the risk of blocking the flush pipes will increase.
Check that no foam develops in the machine. This can
happen if you wash many wheels from cars that have
just been cleaned in automatic car washers. Likewise
foam can develop if you add detergents other than the
recommended (see chapter 4) to the water. Foam will
cause malfunction. The machine will wash less efficiently
and the risk of blocking the flush pipes will increase.
If shot medium is spilled on the floor it is absolute vital
to sweep the floor regularly to avoid risk of slippery
floor (see picture 11).

14. SERVICE

• 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.
• The MotorCompartmentCover (see picture 3) may
only be removed by authorized personnel due
to exposure of moving parts and easy access to
electrical parts.

15. IMMERSION HEATER

(see picture 20)
• The immersion heater default setting is scheduled
so that the water temperature is at operation
temperature between 07:00 and 16:00, Monday to
Friday (see chapter 11.5.3).
• The factory setting of the water temperature is 45ºC.
This value may NOT be increased since the water will
be too hot and lead to risk of burning injuries.
• PLEASE NOTE: Always turn off the main switch
before emptying out the water in the machine!
The heater will automatically be turned on again after
starting a wash cycle.
