Questions and Resolutions for Carwash Vacuums & Detailing Stations

The Pressure hose doesn't fit on the vacuum?

Potential resolutions:

• Hold and start the groove in the hose on the notch in the hold, the hose is threaded on
• Turn the hose counter clockwise, it has a reverse thread
• Turn hose until it stops, about 2 inches

Why is there no suction from the vacuum?

Potential resolutions:

• Open, clean out the door, and verify plugs are plugged into internal mounting system
• Check if motors are turning
• Check if vacuum hose is hooked up properly
• Check hose for holes or splits
• Check door and motor gaskets

How do I change the Digital Display Readout?

Potential resolutions:

• Purchasing a remote control with unit
• Programming can be done from the Manufacturer prior to shipment
• Use manual to assist in reprogramming

Why is there nothing coming out of my scent / mobile detailing machine?

Potential resolutions:

• Start machine and set switch for one of the scents
• Hold your finger over the tip of the gun. Push the gun button and hold it for 20 seconds to 1 minute
• Look for bubbles in the scent bottle
• After 30 seconds or when bubbles are seen in the scent bottle, let go of the tip and continue to hold the button

Which is better, a 2 motor or 3 motor? 3 motor versus 2 motor?

• 2 motors pull 16 amps requiring 20 amp svc
