1) Standardize daily routines

• Walk-around inspection; check brushes/arms, hoses, rails, leaks.

• Clean sensors and lenses; verify e-stops.

• Empty grates and mud traps; log panel warnings.

2) Calibrate weekly

• Nozzles, angles, and spray coverage.

• Chemical dosing against water hardness and temperature.

• Dryer blade spacing and timing.

3) Go deeper monthly

• Lubricate bearings, check gearbox levels.

• Rail/roller alignment and fastener torque.

• Thermal scan (if available) on panels to spot hot connections early.

4) Build a “72-hour spares kit”

Keep on site: sensors, belts, nozzles, seals, key fuses/relays, a spare dosing pump, and common fasteners. The goal: fix in hours, not days.

5) Track the right KPIs

• Uptime %, Cycle time, MTBF (mean time between failures), MTTR (mean time to repair).

• Monthly trend reviews drive targeted maintenance and training.

6) Use your warranty wisely

Europe Makine’s 6-month warranty covers manufacturing defects (parts & labor). Pair it with a response-time SLA (e.g., 4/8/24-hour windows by severity) and remote diagnostics to accelerate troubleshooting.

7) Train for turnover

Create a 30-minute shift-start checklist, a 2-page quick reference for fault codes, and a quarterly refresher on chemical safety and emergency procedures. Training offsets staff rotation and keeps standards consistent.

The business impact

• Each 1% uptime improvement in a busy site often equals dozens of extra paid washes per month.

• Preventive maintenance is cheaper than lost queue hours and reputational damage.
