1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state and national
building, electrical, plumbing and other codes in effect in the area.
WARNING:
THESE INSTALLATION AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR USE
BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. TO AVOID INJURY AND ELECTRICAL
SHOCK, DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING OTHER THAN THAT
CONTAINED IN THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, UNLESS QUALIFIED.
1.1 FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS
This machine is designed for use on or over bare concrete floor - not to be
used above combustible flooring, such as carpet or wood. The washer
must be securely bolted to a substantial concrete floor, or mounted upon
a suitable base that is securely bolted to a substantial concrete floor.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN WITH ALL FOUNDATION WORK TO ENSURE A
STABLE UNIT INSTALLATION, ELIMINATING POSSIBILITIES OF
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION.
All installations require concrete floors 6 inches (150mm) or thicker.
Anchor bolts or expansion anchors must be of a quality grade and a
minimum of 1/2 inch (14 mm) diameter. Mounting hardware is not
provided with the machine.
1.2 MOUNTING
A concrete pedestal or steel-mounting base that elevates the machine
approximately 6 inches (150 mm) above the floor level is recommended to
provide easy access to the loading door. Allow a minimum 24 inches
(600mm) of clearance behind the rear of the machine to provide access
for motor service. Refer to Figures Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 for machine
bolt-down dimensions. Contact a Dexter laundry equipment distributor for
recommended steel mounting bases.
If an elevated concrete pedestal is desired, it should be embedded into
the existing floor. Anchor bolts should be 1/2" x 8" (14 mm x 200 mm),
grade 5 or better, headed by a 4 inch (10 cm) square fish plate and
should protrude 1 7/8” (48 mm) above the finished surface of the
pedestal.
EXPANSION ANCHORS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN CONCRETE
PEDESTALS BECAUSE THE ANCHORS ARE TOO CLOSE TO AN EDGE,
CAUSING IT TO BREAK OUT.
Refer to Figures Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-3 for recommended concrete
pedestal dimensions. Refer to Figure Figure 1-4 for overall machine
mounting dimensions.
