Machine Installation & Operation

Section 2: Installation & Operation

All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state and national building, electrical,

and plumbing codes in effect in the area.

Foundation Requirements

The washer must be securely bolted to a substantial concrete ﬂ oor, or mounted upon a suitable

base which is in turn securely bolted to a substantial concrete ﬂ oor. Care must be stressed with

all foundation work to insure a stable unit, eliminating vibration. All installations must be made on

sound concrete ﬂ oors 4” or thicker but see mounting dimensions for each model being installed.

Mounting

A concrete pedestal or steel mounting base which elevates the machine approximately 4 - 10

inches (101-250 mm) above the ﬂ oor level is recommended to provide easy access to the load-

ing door. Allow a minimum of 24 inches (610mm) of clearance behind the rear of the machine, to

provide access for motor removal. If using Dexter bases, please make sure to use bevel washers

when mounting machine to base. Bevel washers can be purchased through the Dexter Parts

Department.

Proper Machine Grout Installation

Mix with water to a consistency that is easy to work with. Grout should be installed between base

(if used) and concrete ﬂ oor on all side rails and crossmembers. If using a base you must grout

between base top and machine frame all side rails and crossmembers.

Mounting Holes

The following pages illustrate the mounting dimensions for the machine and also show a typical

base construction. Note: Mounting bolts should be checked frequently to insure that they remain

tight. The machine should be checked with a spinning load to be sure there is no unusual vibration

or movement between the machine and the base or ﬂ oor.

Plumbing

Water supply hoses are furnished with each machine. The threaded connections on the hoses

are standard garden hose type thread. Separate hot and cold water lines with shut off valves

or faucets for inlet hose connections must be provided, maintaining 30 to 120 p.s.i. water ﬂ ow

pressure. Maximum water temperature is 200 degrees.

Drain

The drain outlet tube at the rear of the machine is 3” in outside diameter on models T-400, T-

600, T-900, T-1200. A ﬂ exible hose (# 9242-417-003) is available to extend the drain system for

these models. A drain outlet tube at the rear of the machine is 2 1/4” outside diameter on a T-300.

model. A ﬂ exible hose ( #9242-417-001) is available to extend the drain system for these models.
