Rocker Brush adjustments angle, pressure, lube
Rocker balance, weight, pressure and lubricity adjustment. The rocker brush when properly setup should dance off the finger about 6" from the tips. The cloth should be foamed directly into the brush for lubricity. If the ideal operation is not achieved please review the following checklist. 1. Angle of the Brush - the brush should be setup on an angle of about 10 degrees with the top away from the car. The cloth will be pointing upward on the car touching side of the brush. This keeps the top disc away from the car and improves cleaning on lower panels of trucks. 2. Adjustment of pressure on the rocker shock, adjust the shock so that it is at its most closed adjusment. meaning the point of connection of the shock is at its closest point, reducing pressure of the brush as desired with the threaded rod. 3. Wedge installed - There is a wedge add on part to the rubber bumper the holds the brush at a 45 degree angle pointing down the tunnel. This wedge should be installed to reduce the risk of the brush being run over by large trucks and reducing the pressure of the brush. The wedge (P-M2072), if not already set up this way, to install remove the rubber bumper and install the wedge in its location. Then attach the rubber bumper to the wedge. no welding is nessassary for this proceedure. 4. Offset equipment from center - Equipment should be installed 4" off center line to the drivers side. If the equipment is installed center to center it will create excess pressure on DS wraps, rockers, and contours. This can be compensated for with small alterations If the pressure of the brush is extreme, it is possible a rocker shock adjusment kit can be added (P-M2075). by installing this you will be able to change the angle of wich the shock is pivioted during brush movment allowing the pressure being applied to the surface of the vehicle to be lessened. In order to perform this you must cut of the shock mount, leaving the arm its welded to. (mount furthest away from the brush) Slide the update part over the arm and use the set screw to move the shock mount closer to the mount / leg of the arch. 5. Lubricity is key - Verifying the proper chemical application is being applied to the rocker brush (low PH body soap, or solvent based product). The foaming manifold used for foaming the wraps also is used for foaming the rocker brushes. On the bottom of the manifold is a 1/2" port that should contain a 90 degree fitting that applys FOAM directly into the rocker brush. Be sure there is a foam generator on all 4 legs of the combo unit.
