Installation Steps

1. Determine where the Tire Shiner is to be installed.


2. Sweep any debris from the area the Tire Shiner will sit.
3. Tie both driver side and passenger side units temporarily in its full retracted position.
4. Position the driver side and passenger side units in the general area where they will be
installed according to figure 1 or 2 (depends on the model you have), but do NOT
anchor at this time!
5. Measure 73 from the inside of guide rail (passenger side) to plastic angle on the
entrance end of the passenger side assembly. Check to ensure the outer edge of the exit
base plate is approximately 103 - 105 from the inside of guide rail.
6. Carefully secure the exit base plate with one floor anchor.
7. Position the frame so the measurement between the inside of guide rail to each base
plate is equal.
8. Carefully secure the entrance base plate with one floor anchor.
Note: If the floor is not level where the base plates are being mounted it may be necessary to
shim the base plates so the assembly hangs with the arms level for side to side.
9. Double check the dimensions, and then finish anchoring the base plates for the
passenger side assembly to the floor.

10. Allow the assembly to extend toward the center of the wash tunnel, should measure
approximately 49 from the inside of guide rail (passenger side) to plastic angle on the
entrance end of the passenger side assembly.
Note: If the floor is not level where the base plates are being mounted it may be necessary to
shim the base plates so the vertical center of the foam pad is the same in the extended and
retracted positions.
11. Adjust the hanger height so that the vertical center of the foam is 6.5 inches above the
floor.
12. Place the driver side entrance base plate so it is approximately 14 inches closer to the
exit of the tunnel than the passenger side entrance base plate (refer to tunnel drawings
for exact measurements).
13. Allow the driver side unit to extend toward the center of the wash tunnel.
14. With the hangers fully extended measure 5 inches from the entrance and exit foam edge
to the inside of the inside guide rail. Do NOT anchor at this time!
15. Square the driver side unit in the same manner as that used for the passenger side unit.
Mark the floor for proper base plate placement and mark the outside guide rail where the
entrance end of the tire guide will clear (refer to Figure 8 and tunnel drawings).
16. Fully retract the applicator then mark the exit end of the outside guide rail to clear the
applicator (refer to Figure 8 and tunnel drawings).
17. Set the applicator out of the way while cutting the guide rail and removing the section to
allow full swing of the driver side unit.
18. Place the driver side unit base plates on the previously made marks and install one
anchor in each base plate.
19. Check the measurements to ensure the assembly is square with the conveyor and that
the assembly will properly clear the guide rail in the fully extended and retracted
positions.
20. Double check the dimensions, and then finish anchoring the base plates for the driver
side assembly to the floor.
Note: If the floor is not level where the base plates are being mounted it may be necessary to
shim the base plates so the vertical center of the foam pad is the same in the extended and
retracted positions.
21. Adjust the hanger height so that the vertical center of the foam is 6.5 inches above the
floor of the conveyor in retracted and extended positions.
22. Mount the control panel on the equipment room wall as close as feasible to the tire shine
applicators.
23. Run and connect the water feed line to the tire shiners on both sides.

Adjustments and Testing


Prepare new foam pads for on-line operation
Manually override the FloJet pumps on the control panel by energizing the 3 way air solenoid
valve on the control panel. Allow the pumps to run until 1 to 2 gallons of Tire Shine product have
been delivered to each applicator unit (Driver Side and Passenger Side) in the wash tunnel.
With a water hose saturate the foam on both units with water. Squeeze each foam section to be
certain the foam pads have completely absorbed the water.
Adjust the equipment programmer functions for the Tire Shiner to sequential operation and allow
product to be delivered to approximately 20 consecutive vehicle washes. Fine tune the extend
air regulator pressure settings on the driver side and passenger side until the foam pads
compress to surround each tire.
With the tire shiner in the fully extended position adjust the hanger height so that the vertical
center of the foam is 6.5 inches above the floor.
Normal On-line Adjustments
Pad hanger tension may be adjusted by moving the shock absorber mounting brackets for
more, or less tension.
Ensure rubber bumper on the drivers side is adjusted so the plastic guide on the tire shiner lines
up with the plastic guide on the conveyor.
Set-up air regulator settings on the tire shiner control panel should be 80psi for the main
regulator, 40 to 70 psi for the solution pumps air regulators, 50psi on the driver side retract air
regulator, 60 psi on the passenger side retract air regulator. These settings may be adjusted for
fine tuning of the equipment operation.
The solution pump solenoid valve should be set to operate for 2 to 5 seconds for each service
sold. This setting will be made at the timer mounted in the timer box. The Tire Shiner equipment
is volume sensitive. That is, when more vehicles purchase the service the solution requirement
per vehicle is less in a days car washing volume.
The water timer should be adjusted to activate the water solenoid valve once every hour (Green
pointer). The valve will run for 20 seconds (Red pointer). See Figure #6 in Dimensions Section.
Chemical timer should be set to E 0 0 4 s . The Desired chemical usage is between 2-5 oz.
per car. To increase or decrease chemical, press the + or the - button to increase seconds
(above and below the 4 column). The higher the percentage of sales the less chemical is
needed. See Figure #7 in Dimensions Section.

*GENERAL OPERATION*
The Tire Shine applicator system is intended to provide programmable on-line, automatic,
delivery of Simoniz Pad Perfect Tire Shine product to the four tires of passenger vehicles.
SPECIAL NOTE: Sonnys Model #TSA 100 has been satisfactorily tested in day to day
car wash operations using the Simoniz Pad Perfect Tire Shine product. Sonnys cannot
guarantee the successful operation of the Tire Shiner equipment when other brands of
tire brightening chemical products are used in this equipment.
When the Tire Shiner equipment is at rest with the conveyor stopped or no vehicle has been
programmed to accept this service with the conveyor running, the driver side and passenger
side units are both retracted away from the center of the wash tunnel and the pumping system is
off.
When the Tire Shiner equipment has been programmed to provide the tire shine service the
driver side and passenger side units extend to the center of the wash tunnel at the chosen time
and Tire Shine solution is delivered to the foam pads on the units to wipe the product on to the
passing tires of the vehicle. If the next vehicle in line has also purchased the Tire Shine service
the equipment will remain extended and ready to deliver the application process. If the next
vehicle in line has not purchased the Tire Shine service the equipment will retract from the
center of the wash tunnel and the solution pumping system is off.

chemical to pads.
2. Check all lines and fittings for leaks. Repair, or replace, as needed.
3. Check the pads for tears, damage, grease, oil, or foreign objects and clean the face of
the pads if necessary using high pressure water only, no chemicals.
4. Check retract/extend for proper operation, check for smoothness and correct application
pressure.
5. Check for sufficient chemical for the days use.
WEEKLY
1. Spray lubricant on the clevis pins on both ends of the retract cylinders.
2. Check fluid in reservoir and fill to when retracted if necessary.
FOR THE FIRST MONTH OF OPERATION CHECK ALL HYDRAULIC FITTINGS FOR
TIGHTNESS EACH WEEK. PERFORM THIS INSPECTION TO THE SCHEDULE SHOWN
BELOW AFTER THE FIRST MONTH OF OPERATION.
MONTHLY
1. Grease all pivotal bearings on the hanger frame work, 16 bearings total.
2. Inspecting all hardware and fittings for tightness.

3. Remove the black plastic plates and set aside.
4. Slide the old foam pads out from the frame.
5. Slide the new foam pads into place.
6. Place the black plastic plates on top of the new foam pads.
7. Holding the top and bottom plates together using the C clamps, install the pins and
clips.
8. Repeat Steps 2 through 7 on the passenger side.
9. Turn on the water valve and override the water timer on the control panel. Saturate the
new foam pads with water, and then return water settings to normal.
