Explanation of Safety Messages
Precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “WARNING,”
and “CAUTION”), followed by specific instructions,
are found in this manual and on machine decals. These
precautions are intended for the personal safety of the
operator, user, servicer, and those maintaining the
machine.
Important Safety Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer.
3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, drycleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances to the

WARNING
Water Connection Requirements
Connections should be supplied by a hot and a cold
water line of at least the sizes shown in Tab l e 8.
Installation of additional machines will require
proportionately larger water lines.
To connect water service to a machine with rubber
hoses, use the following procedure:
1. Before installing hoses, flush the water system
for at least 2 minutes.
2. Check filters in the machine’s inlet hoses for
proper fit and cleanliness before connecting.
3. Hang hoses in a large loop; do not allow them to
kink.
If additional hose lengths are needed, use flexible
hoses with screen filters.
IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber
parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may
develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they are
subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
signs of deterioration listed above should be
replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced
every five years.

Electrical Installation Requirements
IMPORTANT: Electrical ratings are subject to
change. Refer to serial decal for electrical ratings
information specific to your machine.
If a delta supply system is used on a four-wire model,
connect high leg to L3.
IMPORTANT: Alliance Laundry Systems
warranty does not cover components that fail as a
result of improper input voltage.
IMPORTANT: Improper connections will result in
equipment damage and will void warranty.
IMPORTANT: For machines with X voltage: If
input power is single-phase, connect L1 to R of
terminal block and L2 to S of terminal block. Leave
T unconnected on the input terminal block. If input
power is three-phase, connect L1, L2 and L3 to R, S
and T of the terminal block.
Machines equipped with an AC inverter drive require
a clean power supply, free from voltage spikes and
surges. Use voltage monitor to check incoming power.
The customer’s local power company may provide
such a monitor.
Input Voltage Requirements
If input voltage measures above rated maximum
voltage, ask the power company to lower voltage. For
voltages above or below listed specifications, contact
Customer Service or a distributor for buck/boost
transformer recommendation. Refer to Electrical Specification section.
If machine is intended for four-wire service, a neutral
leg must be provided by power company.
Single-phase machines require a single-phase inversetime circuit breaker. Three-phase machines and
variable-speed machines require a separate, threephase inverse-time circuit breaker to prevent damage
to the motor by disconnecting all legs if one should be
lost accidentally. Check the nameplate decal on the
back of the machine. Refer to Tab le 9 through Table 18
in this section for model-specific circuit breaker
requirements.
