Safe Operating Environment

Safe operation requires an appropriate

operating environment for both the operator

and the machine. If questions regarding safety

arise, contact the factory immediately.

Environmental Conditions

•

Ambient Temperature

. Water in the

machine will freeze at temperatures

of 32° F or below.

Temperatures above 120° F (50° C) will

result in more frequent motor overheating

and, in some cases, malfunction or

premature damage to solid state devices

that are used in some models. Special

cooling devices may be necessary.

Water pressure switches are affected by

increases and decreases in temperature.

Every 25° F (10° C) change in temperature

will have a 1% effect on the water level.

•

Humidity

. Relative humidity above 90%

may cause the machine’s electronics or

motors to malfunction or may trip the

ground fault interrupter. Corrosion

problems may occur on some metal

components in the machine.

If the relative humidity is below 30%,

belts and rubber hoses may eventually

develop dry rot. This condition can result

in hose leaks, which may cause safety

hazards external to the machine in

conjunction with adjacent electrical

equipment.

•

Ventilation

. The need for make-up air

openings for such laundry room

accessories as dryers, ironers, water

heaters, etc., must be evaluated

periodically. Louvers, screens, or other

separating devices may reduce the

available air opening significantly.

•

Radio Frequency Emissions

. A filter is

available for machines in installations

where floor space is shared with

equipment sensitive to radio

frequency emissions.

•

Elevation

.If the machine is to be operated

at elevations of over 3,280 feet (1,000

meters) above sea level, pay special

attention to water levels and electronic

settings (particularly temperature) or

desired results may not be achieved.

•

Chemicals

. Keep stainless steel surfaces

free of chemical residues.

•

Water Damage

.Do not spray the machine

with water. Short circuiting and serious

damage may result. Repair immediately all

seepage due to faulty gaskets, etc.

Do not place volatile or flammable fluids

in any machine. Do not clean the machine

with volatile or flammable fluids such as

acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel reducers,

carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, benzene,

naptha, etc. Doing so could result in serious

personal injury and/or damage to

the machine. SW002

DANGER

Safety

F232061

Safe Operating Environment

(Continued)

Machine Location

•

Foundation

. The concrete floor must be of

sufficient strength and thickness to handle

the floor loads generated by the high

extract speeds of the machine.

•

Service/Maintenance Space

. Provide

sufficient space to allow comfortable

performance of service procedures and

routine preventive maintenance.

This is especially important in connection

with machines equipped with an AC

inverter drive.

Consult installation instructions for

specific details.

Input and Output Services

•

Water Pressure

. Best performance will be

realized if water is provided at a pressure

of 30–85 psi (2.0–5.7 bar). Although the

machine will function properly at lower

pressure, increased fill times will occur.

Water pressure higher than 100 psi

(6.7 bar) may result in damage to machine

plumbing. Component failure(s) and

personal injury could result.

•

Steam Heat (Optional) Pressure

. Best

performance will be realized if steam is

provided at a pressure of 30–80 psi

(2.0–5.4 bar). Steam pressure higher than

125 psi (8.5 bar) may result in damage

to steam components and may cause

personal injury.

For machines equipped with optional

steam heat, install piping in accordance

with approved commercial steam

practices. Failure to install the supplied

steam filter may void the warranty.

•

Compressed Air

. For machines requiring

compressed air service, best performance

will be realized if air is provided at a

pressure of 80–100 psi (5.4–6.7 bar).

•

Drainage System

. Provide drain lines or

troughs large enough to accommodate the

total number of gallons that could be

dumped if all machines on the site

drained at the same time from the highest

attainable level. If drain troughs are used,

they should be covered to support light

foot traffic.

•

Power

. For personal safety and for proper

operation, the machine must be grounded

in accordance with state and local codes.

The ground connection must be to a

proven earth ground, not to conduit or

water pipes. Do not use fuses in place of

the circuit breaker. An easy-access cutoff

switch should be provided.

Replace all panels that are removed to

perform service and maintenance

procedures. Do not operate the machine

with missing guards or with broken or

missing parts. Do not bypass any

safety devices. SW019

CAUTION

Safety

8F232061

Always disconnect power and water supplies

before a service technician performs any

service procedure. Where applicable, steam

and/or compressed air supplies should also be

disconnected before service is performed.

AC Inverter Drive

Machines equipped with the AC inverter drive

require special attention with regard to the

operating environment.

•An especially dusty or linty environment

will require more frequent cleaning of the

AC inverter drive cooling fan filter and of

the AC inverter drive itself.

•Power line fluctuations from sources such

as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)

can adversely affect machines equipped

with the AC inverter drive. Proper

suppression devices should be utilized on

the incoming power to the machine to

avoid problems.

•A clean power supply free from voltage

spikes and surges is absolutely essential for

machines equipped with the AC inverter

drive. Nonlinear inconsistencies (peaks and

valleys) in the power supply can cause

the AC inverter drive to generate

nuisance errors.

If voltage is above 230V for 200V

installations or above 440V for 400V

installations, a buckboost transformer is

recommended. If voltage is above 240 or

480, a buckboost transformer is required.

•Sufficient space to perform service

procedures and routine preventive

maintenance is especially important for

machines equipped with the AC

inverter drive.

Misuse

Never use this machine for any purpose other

than washing fabric.

•Never wash petroleum-soaked rags in the

machine. This could result in an explosion.

•Never wash machine parts or automotive

parts in the machine. This could result in

serious damage to the basket.

•Never allow children to play on or around

this machine. Death or serious injury can

result if children become trapped in the

machine. Do not leave children unattended

while the machine door is open. These

cautions apply to animals as well.

Ensure that a ground wire from a proven

earth ground is connected to the ground lug

near the input power block on this machine.

Without proper grounding, personal injury

from electric shock could occur and machine

malfunctions may be evident. SW008
