Dear Customer,

thank you for opting for WashTec. You have selected a product that will be in reli-

able operation in your car wash business for a long time. And there is a lot you can

do to ensure this. Please read this operating manual carefully and observe the

maintenance and care instructions listed in it. This significantly increases the ser-

vice life of your system.

In case of a problem, please check the following points first:

• Observe the error messages on the display of the operating unit!

• Could the problem be due to a power failure or a failure in the air or water

supply?

• Are missing respectively wrong equipment or non-dearated feed pumps the

cause?

• Is the emergency-off button/switch activated?

• Are the light barriers dirty?

Our customer service will remedy defects in/on the system in the scope of our

warranty. These relate to the service that is part of the delivery scope of our ma-

chines and do not include: equipment, wear and tear parts, damages caused by

improper operation, etc. The exclusions from warranty are listed on the next two

pages.

If components were connected during the installation of your new system (for ex-

ample existing aggregates like pumps etc. or equipment by other manufacturers

like automatic doors, water recycling plants, etc.) that we did not deliver, possible

operational breakdowns caused by these components are also excluded from our

warranty. This naturally also applies to breakdowns directly related to this third-

party equipment.

In order to prevent damages to vehicles passing through the car wash facility,

you must observe all notices in the operating manual. A sequencer controls the

automatic doors (in winter operation together with light barrier signals) by means

of switching impulses for opening and closing the car wash facility. For protection

against damage, the doors must be equipped with suitable safety installations.

Please contact your door supplier.

We wish you lots of success with your business.

For systems with fresh and process water supply:

The winter water control may be used to select either

fresh or process water during the 2. wash stage (see

chapter 9.6, menu 06).

Why fresh water?

During winter time a lot of salt ends up in the system

and therewith also in the process water. Thereby

stains appear on the vehicle during drying. By addi-

tional usage of fresh water a stainless drying is

achieved.

Don’t forget: Switch back to process water after

winter time. Otherwise increased fresh water

consumption.

5. Washing operation

This chapter contains important safety instructions

for washing operation and describes all the stages

which must be worked through when washing vehi-

cles.

This information is intended for the wash system

operator and for car wash customers. The car

wash customer must be fully informed on in-

struction notices.

Instructions which are intended only for the wash

system operator are marked separately.

5.1. Safety instructions

Vehicles which are not positioned correctly may

be damaged during the wash.

Pay attention that the vehicle is positioned

straight and within the track drive before a wash

is started.

For wash systems which are operated in self-

service mode, e.g. the operator or his personnel

are not present during the wash cycle, it is highly

recommended to install a video surveillance to

inspect the vehicle position before the vehicle is

cleaned.

WashTec can accept no responsibility for dam-

age to vehicles which have been positioned in-

correctly.

NOTICE

CAUTION

SoftCare Evo - Type SE10 5-2

Chapter 5 - Washing operation

If the roll-over car wash system is used for vehi-

cles with certain features, this may result in

damage to the vehicle.

The customer has to be informed unconditionally

about the following topics:

 Vehicles which are not suitable for the dimen-

sions of the roll-over car wash system (see Chap-

ter 11 "Technical specifications") may not be

washed.

 Unprofessionally repainted or damaged vehicles

may only be washed after inspection and with the

approval of the operator.

 Vehicles with special attachments or mounted

elements which cannot be removed (outside

spare wheels, roof railing, taxi signs or similar)

may only be washed after inspection and with the

approval of the operator.

 Vehicles which vary heavily from the standard

version such as vehicles with a low or high

ground clearance, may only be washed after in-

spection and with the approval of the operator.

 Pick-ups, i.e. vehicles with an open loading area,

and vehicles with unfavourable designed rear

spoilers may only be washed after inspection and

Chapter 5 - Washing operation

WashTec can accept no responsibility for dam-

age to vehicles where one or more of the points

listed above are applicable. If these vehicles are

washed irrespective of the above points, this

must be done on the good judgement of the op-

erator and will be his responsibility.

The following points must be observed here in

particular:

Special attachments or mounted elements which

cannot be removed must be overridden manually

with the relevant control buttons on the operating

unit (see Chapter 9 "Operating units").

For vehicles with wheel claddings and vehicles

with low or high ground clearance, the wheel

washer must be controlled manually (see Chap-

ter 9 "Operating units").

For vehicles with a low ground clearance, there

is a risk that the vehicle will get stuck if a non-

recessed under-body wash or car shifting device

is installed.

For pick-ups, i.e. vehicles with an open loading

area, and vehicles with unfavourable designed

rear spoilers the roof brush has to be manually

controlled.

For wash systems which are operated in self-

service mode, e.g. the operator or his personnel

are not present during the wash cycle, it is highly

recommended to install a video surveillance for

inspecting every vehicle before the vehicle is

cleaned.

The operating units offer various possibilities for

starting the wash program and controlling it

manually.

Water hardness

Chapter 7 - Maintenance and care

7.2.4. Cleaning of plastic parts

Plastic parts (claddings, displays, etc.) may be

damaged or scratched when they are cleaned

with rough surfaces (e.g. brushes) or when they

are dry cleaned.

Clean plastic parts only with wet soft clothes or

sponges.

7.2.5. Cleaning of the brushes

The following description applies to the cleaning of

original WashTec brushes.

The water hardness has substantial influence on the

type of pollution. If the water hardness is higher than

10 °dH (German hardness) lime deposit may be

causing the pollution in the first place.

)

Ask your water supply company for the water

hardness.

The water hardness can be specified in hardness

grade or by the content of calcium and magnesium.

Furthermore the hardness grades are country spe-

cific.

CAUTION

Cleaning

Chapter 7 - Maintenance and care

The information and conversion table below should

assist you in the definition:

Specification in hardness grades:

French hardness: English hardness:

1 °dH = 1,78 °fH 1 °dH = 1,25 °eH

1 ° fH = 0,56 °dH 1 ° eH = 0,8 °dH

Specification in calcium and magnesium ions:

10 °dH = 1,8 mmol/l Ca + Mg

If calcium and magnesium are specified in mg/l use

the conversion below:

1 mg/l calcium = 0,025 mmol/l calcium

1 mg/l magnesium = 0,043 mmol/l magnesium

Brushes may be damaged if they are cleaned too

hot.

Brushes may also be damaged if cleaners are

used which contain hydrochloric acid, sulphuric

acid, formic acid, hydrofluoric acid or oxalic acid.

Use only cold or lukewarm water (max 30°) for

cleaning the brushes.

CAUTION

Acid cleaning

Alkaline cleaning

Final work

Chapter 7 - Maintenance and care

Clean the brushes first with an acid cleaner (cleaner

with a pH value < 7) if the water hardness is higher

then 10 ° dH,. If the water hardness is lower you can

start immediately with the alkaline cleaning

(pH-value > 7).

)

Spray the brushes with acid cleaner.

)

Let the cleaner act on the brushes for approx.

10-15 min.

)

Flush the cleaner out of the brushes with a

strong jet and plenty of water.

)

Spray the brushes with alkaline cleaner.

)

Let the cleaner act on the brushes for approx.

10-15 min.

)

Flush the cleaner out of the brushes with a

strong jet and plenty of water.

)

Check the pH-value in the tank system after

cleaning the brushes when the system is

equipped with a water recycling system. The

pH-value must be between 7,0 and 8,0.

)

Wash at least 30 vehicles with fresh water if

the pH-value is below 7.

The roll-over car wash system can be operated, i.e.

starting the wash programs and making adjustments,

with various different operating units.

The roll-over car wash system is always equipped

with an operating terminal of type CP1 or CP0. Wash

programs can be started from the operating terminal

by pressing a program button or by entering a code.

The operating terminal CP1 may be equipped with a

multifunctional unit (option). The multifunctional unit

is used to start wash programs with transponder
