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 oor, or mounted upon a suitable base
which is in turn securely bolted to a substantial concrete oor. Care must be stressed with all foundation
work to insure a stable unit, eliminating vibration. All installations must be made on sound concrete oors.
See mounting dimensions for each model being installed.
Mounting
A concrete pad or steel base which elevates the machine 4 to 6 inches above the oor level is
recommended to provide easy access to the loading door. Allow a minimum of 24” of clearance behind
the rear of the machine for service as is shown. Dexter highly recommends the use of a dry expansion
grout mix.
Proper Machine Grout Installation
Grout should be installed between base (if used) and concrete oor on all side rails and crossmembers. If
using a base you should grout between base top and machine frame and all side rails and crossmembers.
Mounting Holes
See mounting dimensions for the machine model you are installing in previous section. They also show
a typical concrete pad arrangement. It is highly recommended that you use all mounting holes supplied
with each model. 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 oor. Please note: Machine grouting is highly recommended as
grouting insures stability and longevity.
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 ow pressure. Maximum water
temperature is 180 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 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 exible
hose ( #9242-417-001) is available to extend the drain system for these models. Adequate fall must be
maintained for proper drainage.
Protective Film
The machine may have protective adhesive lm on the front escutcheon area and the front and side
stainless steel panels. The lm may be peeled off before putting the machine into service.
Electrical
Dexter single/three-phase 208-240VAC 60 Hz washing machines are intended to be permanently installed
appliances. No power cord is provided. The machine should be connected to an individual branch circuit
not shared by lighting or other equipment. The connection should be sheathed in liquid tight exible
conduit, or equivalent, with conductors of the proper size and insulation. A qualied technician should
make such connections in accordance with the wiring diagram.
T-300 WCAD18KCS-10 model (1 phase 120 volts) washers are equipped with an electrical cord with a
3 prong grounded plug. A U.L. approved receptacle, which has been properly grounded in accordance
with local electrical codes must be used with the machine. Each unit should be connected to an individual
branch circuit not shared by lighting or other equipment. Conductors of the proper size and insulation (sug-
gested size below) should be used.
