Safety

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 (0°C) 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

worn or damaged 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.

DANGER

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). Large capacity

machines could experience door seal failure if

compressed air service is interrupted.

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 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 also 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.

CAUTION

SW019

F232072 9

Safety

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.
