What happens if a vehicle hits the spray arm?
When a vehicle drives into either spray arm manifold, the patented Break-Away Arm is able to take a hit and swing away without suffering any damage. It is a detent style spring-loaded universal joint. The break away sensor initiates a fault condition, and a programmable annunciation pages the manager or a technician. In seconds the operator can push the arm back into position and reset the program with the push of a single button, and he will be up and running with no down time and no service call. The thick safety foam protects the vehicle from damage as well. All other touch-free machines get damaged if a vehicle hits them.
