Warning

Damage to property! Failure to keep to the 
vehicle size limits can cause damage to the 
vehicle and the plant.

This gantry-type car wash plant is not suit-
able for the cleaning of

–

special trucks, e.g vehicles with roof 
and alcove installations to the front over 
the wind screen, construction ma-
chines

–

vehicles with trailers

–

two- and three-wheel vehicles

–

convertibles with open soft-top

–

convertibles with closed soft-top where 
suitability for wash plants has not been 
guaranteed by the manufacturer. 

Should the above-stated instruction not be 
observed, the vehicle wash plant owner is 
not liable for any

–

injury to persons
damage to property
injury to animals resulting thereof. 



Danger

Risk of eye injuries from leaking air pres-
sure. The pneumatic parts of the plant still 
remain under high air pressure after the 
main switch or emergency switch has been 
switched off.
Risk of injury from parts flying off! Flying-off 
fragments or objects can injure people or 
animals. Therefore the hall floors must be 
kept clear of loose objects lying around.



Danger

Danger of explosion!  The plant must not be 
operated in the near to rooms that are ex-
posed to danger of explosion. Excepted 
from this are only plants that are explicitly 
intended and designated. No explosive, 
highly ignitable or poisonous substances 
must be used, as e.g.:

–

petrol
heating oil and diesel fuel
solvents
liquids containing solvents
non-diluted acid
acetone

If you are unsure, ask the manufacturer.

The noises emitted by the plant are not 
dangerous for wash customers (brief emis-
sions).
On the drive-in side, the sound level is

–

67 dB(A)

–

at the drying operation 87 dB(A)



Danger

Damage to hearing for operating personnel 
is possible. Wear ear protectors with drying 
operation.



Danger

Risk of electric shock!

–

Never touch electrical cables, plug con-
nections and terminal boxes with wet 
hands.
Electrical connecting leads or extension 
cables must not be damaged through 
being driven over, crushed, or pulled or 
the like. Protect the power cord from 
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
With mobile cleaning devices (e.g. with 
high-pressure cleaners) the water jet 
must never be aimed at electrical appli-
ances or units.
All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet 
water.
Plants must only be connected to prop-
er earthed power sources.
All work on electrical parts of the plant 
must be carried out only by a qualified 
electrician. 



Danger

The detergents used contain partly sub-
stances that are harmful to health; there-
fore it is absolutely necessary to observe 
the enclosed or printed instructions.
Do not drink the water emitted from the 
plant! There is no drinking water quality 
present due to the mixed detergents.
Should processed water be used to oper-
ate the plant, then the stipulations of the 
manufacturer of the water treatment plant 
on germination inhibition must be ob-
served.

Substances which do not generally occur 
usually in the exterior cleaning of vehicles 
(e.g. chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, 
radioactive materials, faeces or epidemic 
matter) must not reach the wash plant.

An uncontrolled restart of the plant following 
power failure is ruled out because of con-
struction measures that have been taken.

The locally valid regulations on waste water 
disposal are to be observed.

In order to ensure a safe operation of the 
plant and to prevent dangers during mainte-
nance, monitoring and inspection, the corre-
sponding instructions have to adhered to. 

Maintenance work must be carried out by a 
specialist at regular intervals in accordance 
with the specifications of the manufacturer. 
The existing stipulations and safety re-
quirements are to be here observed. Work 
on the electrical plant may only be carried 
out by qualified electricians.



Danger

Risk of injury. The plant must be switched 
off and secured against against any unin-
tentional and unauthorised restart before 
maintenance and servicing can be carried 
out. Air pressure containers and air pres-
sure lines continue to be remain under 
pressure also after the plant has been 
switched off. It is absolutely necessary to 
get rid of pressure before starting work on 
the plant. Then check for the absence of 
pressure on the manometer at the mainte-
nance unit.
Risk of injury from high-pressure water jet 
unexpectedly emerging. The high pressure 
system continues to remain under pressure 
also after the plant has been switched off. It 
is absolutely necessary to remove all pres-
sure in the high-pressure system before 
starting work on the plant.

This vehicle wash plant must be inspected 
for its safe operational state before being 
put into operation and afterwards at least 
half-yearly by a specialist. The scope of this 
inspection specifically includes:

–

visible inspection for externally recog-
nisable wear and damage respectively

–

Function test 

–

completeness and effectivity of safety 
installations for self-operation plants 
daily before start of operation, for mon-
itored plants according to requirements 
but at least once monthly.

Use exclusively original parts of the manu-
facturer or those parts recommended by 
him as otherwise claims made under the 
warranty will be rendered void. Observe all 
instructions on safety and use which are 
accompany these parts. This concerns:

–

replacement and wear parts

–

accessories

–

Fuel

–

detergents.
