Section 2
Installation & Operation
All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state and national building, electrical, and plumb-
ing codes in effect in the area.
Foundation Requirements
The washer must be securely bolted to a substantial concrete floor, or mounted upon a suitable base which is
in turn securely bolted to a substantial concrete floor. Care must be stressed with all foundation work to
insure a stable unit, eliminating vibration. All installations must be made on sound concrete floors 4" or
thicker but 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 floor 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.
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 floor.
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 flow 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 25lb., 40lb., 55lb., 75lb..
A flexible 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 18lb. model. A flexible 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 film on the front escutcheon area and the front and side stain-
less steel panels. The film may be peeled off before putting the machine into service.
