A PAIR OF DRIVE SPROCKETS ARE MOUNTED ON THE ENDS OF THE SHAFT. THE CHAINS ARE INTERWOVEN THROUGH THE DRIVE AND IDLER SPROCKETS SO THAT WHEN THE DRIVE SPROCKETS ARE ROTATED BY A REVERSIBLE ELECTRIC MOTOR OPERATIVELY CONNECTED TO THE SHAFT THE SPRAY UNIT IS MOVED BACK AND FORTH OVER THE VEHICLE TO BE WASHED.
