    DS 5000 operation question, (I mixed up my hoses)

    OK found out why the D&S 5000 was not rinsing all the presoak off. the "oscillating jets" were no operating in high pressure. worked fine for presoak and spot free. I was not washing the top of the car at all. Being clever, I decided to swap the hoses with the side spinners to see if it was the...

    D&S 5000 question

    It would seem like the check valve on the pump that I replaced (old one was definately bad), in the tire cleaner line, would keep the air back, unless it is coming in the presoak line there is no check valve on the presoak line (they T off the pump and each have own solenoid valve, pump from...

    D&S 5000 question

    In the process of trying to solve the blow down air pressure backing up into the presoak tank, I discovered a 1/4 plastic tube wth a valve in it running from a T fitting before to a t fitting after the presoak solenoid. there was a check valve on the tire cleaner solenoid which I replaced...

    D&S 5000 problem(s)

    Thanks that makes sense. everything was fine till I turned on the blow down during the freeze we had a couple weeks ago. I don't seem to have a choice to turn on a pressure pass that isn't already used. I have the best wash programmed with Low PH presoak, HI Pressure Hi PH presoak as the "hp...

    D&S 5000 problem(s)

    Have been running the old 5000 for a few weeks now. Weather turned cold and I turned on the blow down function and went out of town. upon returning I noticed foam above the presoak tank. Later determined when blowing down, air bubble are back feeding to presoak tank. No problem for now as its...

    D&S 5000 side spinners slow on one side

    tightened the top belt and it seems to be working. Now the spinners are almost impossible to move manually in one direction and pretty stiff, although will slip some, in the other direction. New link belts on the "to do" list. thanks .

    D&S ss stand has Hot water solenoids

    yes, there is a regulator ahead of the manifold that feeds the 4 solenoids. the soap is currently mixed with hot water but of course it gets cold before it gets used usually, the heater element is no longer operational in the tank. Opening with rinse seems like a nice idea, let the customer see...

    D&S 5000 side spinners slow on one side

    But only on some cylces. I thought these were driven directly by the gantry moving along the chain. but somtimes they spin great and othertimes they stop. belts seem to be tight. seems worse when very cold. Could something be stripped in the drive?

I noticed 4 solenoids, which at first I thought were for weep, but noticed they are plumbed to hot water and T in...

    D&S 5000 question

    My D&S 5000 wants to wash cars again, but always runs same (basically all) functions regardless of wash level selected. I have gone through the programming of default washes per the manual. My machine has tri foam, but that is not in the program so I am trying to figure out which function it is...
