Spot The Mistakes In This Roof Cleaning Truck ?
Permalink  
 


Ok guys, here is one of my older roof cleaning trucks, long since retired, and currently at rest in a scrap yard.
Her 460 V8 gave life to someone elses truck, and her 5 speed trannie and rear end wound up in an off road mud truck.
CAN you spot the mistakes made in the roof cleaning equipment ?

Here I go!!

1.-You pulling from the bottom.

2.-feeding line is too small- looks like ½ or 5/8

3.-line you used to spray is too small too-small lines restrict flow and pressure

4.- the guy is not wearing socks!!

The most obvious is that you are pulling from the bottom of your love tank.

I also don't see any filter in the air line.

I'm going with the most important, NO eye protection while filling and secondly, bulkhead on the bottom.

Very very good guys!
The tank we bought used, cheap, very cheap, and was already drilled for a bulkhead.
But THE one mistake everyone missed (there are many) was the green hose on the hose reel!
That was our experiment with the Factory Direct Hose "Mean Green"
The Love melted it, LOL

Very good guys, BTW !

I leaved in Fort Myers Florida for many years (got tire of the hot wheatear),  I know most of the license plates have an “ ORANGE ” on them. Have you ever thought on requesting your license plates with an “APPLE” ON IT?

That will look really good on your tucks!!

Chris,

Looks like you've had that air compressor on the truck for quite some time.  We purchased a rigid as well.  If we keep up with the required periodic maintenance, how long a life should we expect from our compressor.  I assume that the chemicals wreak havoc on the compressor and motor.

Mine last about a year and 1/2,  but we use em almost 6 days a week on multiple roofs per day, and do really BIG jobs.
Use only mobil 1 synthetic 5 w30 for both the compressor and honda motor, and buy Gates belts from NAPA, or other good belt, meaning expensive!
Junk belts stretch, and changing belts is a PITA
