Instructions For Use - Hedson GP 24 Manuel D'utilisation

• Remove the packaging and check again that the
machine has not been damaged during the transport.
If so, report this immediately to the transport
company.
• The machine must be lifted from the right side, where
the service lid is placed.
PLEASE NOTE: The forklift must reach all the way under
the machine (see picture 1) and under the crossbeam
(see picture 2).
• Make sure there is adequate space for the machine to
operate (see picture 14).The machine requires 2 x 3,5
meters when used with two trolleys. For every extra
trolley the machine requires two meters extra (see
picture 14).
• The floor space must be even and horizontal in all
directions where the machine will operate.
• Connect compressed air of max 12 bar (174 psi) and
min 8 bar (120 psi). The connector is placed on the
right side of the unit (see picture 4). Make sure that
the air feed line to the machine is large enough to
avoid pressure drop.
• Open the door and remove the shot medium Basket
(see picture 17). Put the basket aside for use later
when changing the water (see chapter 12). Empty the
enclosed bag with shot medium completely into the
machine.
• To the below left in the wash room there is a red
water level indicator (see picture 12) with two
notches. Fill the machine with water, so that the shot
medium level is within the lower notch (see picture
13) of the indicator.
PLEASE NOTE: Correct water level is extremely
important (see chapter 12).
• The machine is equipped with phase recognition
which will prevent the pump motor and rotation
motor from running in the wrong direction. If phases
are connected incorrectly, the machine will be
disabled until phases are switched. This is shown in
the LCD with title PHASE ERROR.
• If one or two of three phases are missing, the machine
will recognize this and the title PHASE MISSING will
be shown.
• In case any of these problems occur, they must be
corrected by a professional electrician.
• If there is a risk of temperature below 0ºC, the
machine must be emptied of water. Otherwise the
pump as well as the bottom tray will be damaged if
the water freezes.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

MANUAL WASHING
1. Turn on the red/yellow main switch (see picture 3).
2. Open the door (see item 7 in chapter 10) and place
the wheel into the machine, the outside of the rim to
the right as this side washes most efficiently.
PLEASE NOTE: Decoration covers i.e. plastic centre
cap and valve caps must be removed before washing
the wheel (see picture 7). This may cause operational
disturbances if falling off during the wash cycle (see
chapter 19).
Wheels with protruding surfaces on the rim
protruding more than 13 mm (1/2") beyond the
tyre, are under no circumstances to be washed in the
Wheel Washer (see picture 8). The protruding surfaces
can be damaged.
If narrow wheels are incorrectly placed in the wash
room, it can be difficult for them to rotate during the
wash cycle. Place the wheel in a way that it stands
straight and leans on the supports on the left side.
3. Start the machine (see chapter 10.4) by pressing one
of the operation buttons, the door will automatically
close before the wash program starts. .
4. Finally, always check that there are no shot medium
left on the rim before it is mounted onto the car.
After cleaning, the wheel will continue to rotate,
and the shot medium on the wheel will be blown
off by compressed air. When the wheel has stopped
rotating, the wash cycle is completed, and the wheel
can be taken out. Wash and air blowing times are
adjustable, (see chapter 11.4).
AUTOMATIC WASHING
1. Turn on the red/yellow main switch (see picture 3).
2. Place the wheels in the trolley (see picture 15).
Check that the wheels stand straight and lean on the
supports on the left with the outside of the rim to the
right, to avoid damaging the rim.
PLEASE NOTE: Decoration covers i.e. plastic centre
cap and valve caps must be removed before washing
the wheel (see picture 7). This may cause operational
disturbances if falling off during the wash cycle (see
chapter 19).
Wheels with protruding surfaces on the rim
protruding more than 13 mm (1/2") beyond the
tyre, are under no circumstances to be washed in
the Wheel Washer (see picture 8). The protruding
surfaces can be damaged.
3. Move the trolley to the machine. Place the trolley so
that the right side support is placed to the left of the
lid (see picture 22).
