Installation & Operation
All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state, and national building, electrical, and
plumbing codes in eect in the area.
Foundation Requirements
This machine is designed for use on or over bare concrete oor - not to be used above combustible
ooring, such as carpet or wood. The washer must be securely bolted and grouted to a substantial
concrete oor, or mounted and grouted upon a suitable base that is securely bolted and grouted to a
substantial concrete oor.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN WITH ALL FOUNDATION WORK TO ENSURE A STABLE UNIT
INSTALLATION, ELIMINATING POSSIBILITIES OF EXCESSIVE VIBRATION.
All installations require concrete oors and quality grade anchor bolts or expansion anchors. Mounting
hardware is not provided with the machines. Refer to appropriate model Machine Mounting Detail Figures
1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 for oor thickness and bolt sizes. See mounting diagram for overall washer dimensions.
Mounting
A concrete pedestal or steel-mounting base that elevates the machine above the oor level is
recommended to provide easy access to the loading door.
Recommended height: T-650/750/950/1450: approximately 4 inches (102 mm)
Allow a minimum 24 inches (610 mm) of clearance behind the rear of the machine to provide access for
motor service. 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 oor. See Machine
Mounting Detail Figures for oor thickness and bolt sizes.
EXPANSION ANCHORS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN CONCRETE PEDESTALS
BECAUSE THE ANCHORS ARE TOO CLOSE TO AN EDGE, CAUSING IT TO BREAK OUT.
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. NOTE: Machine grouting is highly recommended as grouting
insures stability and longevity.
Plumbing
Water supply hoses are provided with each machine. The threaded connections on the hoses are ¾-11
½ NHT for 60 Hz models and ¾-14 BSP for 50 Hz models. Separate hot and cold water lines must be
supplied to the machine, maintaining 30 psi to 120 psi (207 kPa to 827 kPa) water ow pressure. A 140°F
(60°C) hot water supply is recommended for best washing results. Do not exceed 180°F (82°C) water
temperature.
Drain
The drain outlet tube size: T-650, T-750, T-950, and T-1450 is 3 inches (76 mm) in diameter.
Any drain hose used must be lower than the drain valve to assure proper draining.
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 o before putting the machine into service.
