Section 2: Installation
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
To prepare to install the machine, choose an unobstructed, level site that allows convenient access for
operators and maintenance personnel. Sources for
water and electrical power should be located near the
installation site. If your machine is equipped with the
optional power brush and hand detail brush you must
also run a compressed air line to the installation site.
If you have any questions regarding the installation,
please contact your distributor or call a customer service representative. When contacting customer service
please refer to the machine identification tag inside the

front cover of this manual for detailed machine specifications.
STEP 1: MAKE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS

power cord. To connect the machine to a power supply ,
plug the cord into a grounded outlet on a single-outlet
circuit. It is important that you connect the machine to
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
a single-outlet circuit to avoid possib le damage resulting from inadequate supply amperage.
STEP 2: CONNECT A
COMPRESSED-AIR LINE AND
ACCESSORIES
This step is required for machines equipped with the
optional power brush and hand detail brush.
If your machine does not have these options, skip the
following procedure.
Note: To ensure proper operation and to minimize the
possibility of premature component failure, make sure
the compressed air is supplied at 75 to 90 psi. W e also
recommend an in-line moisture trap and an in-line lubricator on the main air supply line. Refer to the documentation provided with the power brush for more information.
Step 1:
Remove the pow er brush from the bo x, install the wire
brush in the chuck, and connect the air hose.
Step 2:
