Maintaining The Machine

To ensure optimum performance and trouble-free oper-
ation, observe the following maintenance schedule
consistently.

Daily Maintenance

• Check the water level; add water if necessary.
• Clean the debris screen.
• Remove oil from the wash solution using the oil
skimmer system (See Using the Oil Skimmer
System).

Weekly Maintenance

• Examine the spray nozzles; clean and align if
necessary (See Cleaning and Aligning the
Spray Nozzles).
• Wipe down the exterior of the machine using
degreaser spray and a soft, damp cloth. TO
PREVENT ELECTRICAL COMPONENT
FAILURE, DO NOT SPRAY THE MACHINE
WITH WATER.
• Check detergent level to maintain proper con-
centration level which decreases as water is
added. The pH level of this detergent must be in
accordance with the detergent manufacturer's
recommendation.
NOTE: Degreaser spray and a damp cloth will usually
remove all dirt and grime from the machine. For
particularly stubborn soap deposits, use a soft cloth
dampened with warm solution from the wash
chamber.

Monthly Maintenance

• Clean out the sump chamber and detail sump
(See Cleaning out the Sump).
• Lubricate the door spindle using high-quality
automotive grease. Add grease until it begins to
flow out of the joint beneath the grease fitting,
then wipe excess grease from the fitting and the
joint.

every six months; for pumps larger than 5HP,
add 2–3 strokes of grease every year.
