Maintenance of Operation

The wash system is designed and will be built to process as many vehicles as CUSTOMER can logistically offer. The system is designed to accommodate one vehicle per complete cycle. Should a second vehicle follow the initial vehicle into the wash, no washing action will be undertaken on the second vehicle. Safety devices such as traffic lights, the possibility that the entrance doors could be in the closed position and the fact that the system’s controller will only “see” one vehicle in the wash at a time will ensure an efficient and effective truck wash operation.

Although the system is designed to operate with no full time attendant, routine maintenance must be undertaken to ensure the system’s continuous operation. Routine maintenance will be divided between daily, weekly and monthly procedures.
