Abstract
A side washer installation for an automatic car wash line in which each side washer is bottom mounted on a mounting arrangement comprised of a swing arm having upwardly extending drive shaft over which the washer is mounted. An internal web plate is secured within each washer cylinder which rests atop a flange attached to the drive shaft, the flange bolted to the web plate at assembly. The drive motor and associated hardware are located beneath each side washer to remove this componentry from the field of view of the occupants of vehicles passing down the wash line. A subgrade plumbing system for the hydraulic motors and also spray materials is routed through a network of subgrade plumbing chases extending beneath the concrete surfaces and having stubs adjacent each washer for enabling installation of the plumbing system.
