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.

Once you have everything ready the first thing you need to do is: 

  1. Both brushes should rotate downward on the vehicle tires at 125-175RPM (Bison) 150-250RPM (Poodle) 300-400RPM (Ninja).
  2. Rotation of the Brushes is against vehicle travel. As viewed from the top of each Brush the DRIVER side turns CLOCKWISE and the PASSENGER side turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE.   
  3. Make sure you have the proper RPM on the TBG 18 rocker,  if this brush spins too fast it will hold the tire brush away from the car.


  Speed and Torque Adjustment (Hydraulic):

  1. The speed can be adjusted on the flow control for the power pack. 
  2. To increase the speed move the handle on the flow control closer to the number 10.
  3.  To decrease the speed move the handle on the flow control closer to the number 1.
  4.  The torque must be set prior to operation and should be set between 600 and 900 PSI.


 Speed and Torque Adjustment (Electric):

  1. The speed can be adjusted on the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). 
  2. To increase the speed adjust the Hertz on the VFD to a higher number. 
  3. To decrease the speed adjust the Hertz on the VFD to a lower number. 
  4. The Overload on the Motor Starter protector(s) must be set at the lowest level to allow for operation. Adjust the amps in accordance with the motor(s) nameplate.
