Before we start, make sure to get a copy of the owner’s manual which you can download at www.sonnysdirect.com and review all the safety information related to this procedure.
Gather the tools and supplies you’ll need which are:
- Safety Glasses.
- Grease gun (with all-purpose grease)
- Rags and a prep gun unit.
Once you have everything ready the first thing you need to do is:
- Daily Maintenance:
- Check all hydraulic, air and chemical lines and fittings for leaks. Repair, or replace, as needed.
- Check both brush units for proper operation and retract operation, listening for any unusual noises from the equipment.
- Inspect brush cloth for cuts, grease, or oil. Clean or replace any cloth panels if any of these conditions are found.
- Check for proper chemical solution delivery.
2. Weekly Maintenance:
- Grease the brush shaft four bolts flange bearings. Do not allow grease to come in contact with brush cloth.
- Apply lithium grease to the cylinder rod. Work the rod in and out of the cylinder and wipe any excess grease off the rod.
3. Monthly Maintenance:
- Inspecting all hardware and fittings for tightness.
- Grease the brush hanger pillow block bearings. Do not allow grease to come in contact with brush cloth.
- Inspect soap solution spray nozzles for wear. Replace as necessary.
- Inspect the shocks by removing the air lines off the air cylinder and manually retracting the brush. The two brushes should return to the rest position (middle of the tunnel) with no air pressure and no pitch to the bearings.
- Thoroughly clean the equipment and framework.
4. Semi-Annually:
- Carefully inspect brush equipment cloth for wear and damage. Replace as necessary.
