Do not try to load the machine to its maximum weight capacity with bulky fabrics.
Use the size of the machine, the type of the goods, the amount of soil, and the wash quality when
you load the machine.

All laundering machines impart static and dynamic forces to the supporting structures (foundation
and soil, floor, and building). Static forces include the machine weight plus the weight of the
goods and water. Dynamic forces are those imparted by various machine movements as explained
in Section 1.3.2 : Major Design Considerations, page 5 . The dynamic forces imparted to support-
ing structures can cause vibration and noise outside of the laundry room if supporting structures
are inadequate.
1.3.1 Disclaimer of Responsibility
BNUUUI01.C02 0000189359 A.4 C.3 B.3 1/2/20 2:14 PM Released
Pellerin Milnor Corporation accepts no responsibility for damage or loss as a result of:
inadequate supporting structures
interference with the use of the facility caused by machine operation
The facility owner/operator is solely responsible to ensure that:
supporting structures are strong enough, with a reasonable safety factor, to safely support the
operating machine or group of machines
supporting structures are rigid enough to isolate vibrations and noise to the laundry room
If the owner/operator does not possess the necessary expertise to ensure that the facility can safely
and functionally accommodate the equipment, it will be necessary to consult the appropriate ex-
pert(s), such as a structural engineer, soils engineer, and/or architect.
1.3.2 Major Design Considerations
BNUUUI01.C03 0000189358 A.4 C.3 A.5 1/2/20 2:14 PM Released
Vibration and/or noise can be felt or heard outside of the laundry room as a result of the fol-
lowing, if supporting structures are not sufficiently rigid:
Extraction (the spinning cylinder) in washer-extractors and centrifugal extractors, imparts
sinusoidal forces to supporting structures as shown in Figure 1: How Rotating Forces Act
On the Foundation, page 6 . In rigid washer-extractors, these forces are up to 30 times that
of suspended washer-extractors of the same capacity.
Extraction forces can be magnified many times if the rotation frequency matches the reso-
nant frequency of supporting structures. To avoid this, supporting structures must have a
