    LW4000 fault start wheel well

    The Undercarriage Eye Fail will cause the Undercarriage to come on as soon as the wash is fired. It's usually the photo eyes mounted on the wall just before the Undercarriage. There's also an amplifier located on the passenger side in the J2 box up by the rail.

    LW4000 fault start wheel well

    The Undercarriage Eye Fail is a separate issue from the Start Wheel Well. The Start Wheel Well is what has the bay shutdown. Originally this would have meant a faulty sensor on the Treadle, but it sounds like you have the Virtual Treadle. The most likely culprit is the set of yellow and black...

    I prefer a runny Presoak.

    Old Monorail Self Service Station

    If you can get the pumps to run then I would focus as much money as possible on the meter boxes and getting something like GinSan's Quad foam system. The meter box is your face to the public. The better that face the better the chance for success. The Quad foam system will allow you to add...

    Equipment Room Dream

    I forgot you also need a toilet and utility sink. The sink should have both cold and hot water. If they require the toilet be handicapped accessible, then just have everything run for the toilet and cap the drain until after you open. Later you can just add the toilet. Thinking about hot...

    I have had 3 new Gold lines for 9.5 weeks and so far the only problem I have had is training customers to push the green button to use the credit card reader.

    Equipment Room Dream

    The tanks I would recommend are an RO storage tank setup off the floor and a RO reject tank setup off the floor. This will allow gravity to feed the RO distribution and allow gravity to feed a rinse water float valve from the reject tank. Install a second float valve lower in the rinse water...

    Equipment Room Dream

    Your architect has designed a very attractive building, but unless this is being built in a tropical location there's not enough thought about controlling freeze. The best solution is a heated and insulated trough. That may be hard to make work with this design. It would need to be routed all...

    You should also spare out the input wire for the mid limit.

    WW High Velocity issue

    The UCC is not seeing the input from the Entrance end T-bar eye. Check the amplifier for a fault. If it's not showing a problem then the most likely cause is the festoon cable. You can try running a drop cord to spare out the input wire for the Entrance end T-bar eye. This will eliminate the...

    Am I crazy ?

    The Wow factor for the customer comes in the show and performance. Because you viewed one running different chemistry it can be hard to actually see the improvement in show. Since you really like your current setup, the biggest Wow factor for you may come in the simple ability of the Razor to...

    Laser 4000 intermittent stopping

    You mentioned that it happens at different corners. Does it just happen at the front driver's side and rear passenger's side or does it also happen at the rear driver's side and front passenger's side? I ask because if it just happens at the front driver's side and rear passenger's side then...

    Laser 4000 intermittent stopping

    When it happens, what does the print out say? What does the J0 say when you input 100#1#?

    What would it take to upgrade from PDQ M5 to 360?

    The nodes are about the only thing that the M5 and 360 share. They use different rails, different festoons, different hoses, different rollers, and different pump stands. If you want to get a used 360 to replace your M5, then you should plan to strip the bay back to bare and do a complete...

    is drying agent needed?

    The drying agent is not needed on top of a properly applied wax or ceramic. You can try taking it off packages with a wax or ceramic and see how much of an impact it has on your drying.

    Nayax on Wash Select 2

    On ours, the customer selects the wash through the WS2 first, then runs the card. They are fairly simple for the customer to use.

    Photo Eye Sun Shield

    You could also just change out the photo eyes for ones designed to work in direct sunlight. If you go this route then select ones that the wire screws onto. That will make future changes quick and easy.

    Changing Coleman Hanna Water Wizard 2.0 to Wand Wash

    You know your market. If you want to pull out your automatic then go ahead. Since there's room on the stand for the extra Bay, your Self Serve can probably be reworked to accommodate it. If you have the money available, I would recommend just buying an extra pump station from GinSan or Kleen...

    Changing Coleman Hanna Water Wizard 2.0 to Wand Wash

    Is your self serve also Coleman Hannah? If so does it have room in the rack for the sixth bay?

    . No spotfree LW4000 X2

    Your low level float should have stopped the pumps from running and sucking air. I would check the float.
