Hi, Have a 2009 I5 from Sonny's in Florida. They sold out to Oasis and no luck getting front brushes to stay scrubbing car on 2nd pass. Played with air regulators settings in on board panel and off board computer in utility room . Oasis cant help. Any ideas. Thanks BG

Being I have a Ryko Softgloss which is almost the same principles as the I5, to me it sounds like the "retract" valve is staying energized throughout the entire wash thus not allowing the "air in" valve to work when it's suppose to on the front of the vehicle.

Thanks, Its a shame after you build these car washes. I put the best in in 2009 .IBA -self serve bays and 2 years ago added a Belanger touch-less. Half the manufacturers have sold out to others or went out of business. Thanks for your help.BG

I have the same model I5 from Sonny's. Oasis has helped for the most part, at least over the phone. I've had to figure a lot out on my own. Curious why they won't help you?

I know nothing about this unit....
But....are there proximity switches in the mix? Maybe a bad and or switch blocked by the brush?

Thanks, The I5 was working good for a week and the same problem starts again. I clean all the eye switches, reset all systems. All I know on this 2009 model is 2 proxy switches on passenger side of top brush. That I can Find. One is 1/4 inch away from top arm and other 3/4 inch away.Yesterday the arms start to wash and then pull away. Thanks BMG
