Water connection
The machine is delivered with hoses with 3/4" connections (HF455-575) and with
1x3/4" + 3x1" connections (HF730-900). These hoses t the water inlet valves of the
machine and the main water inlet taps. All the inlet valves have to be connected.
To ensure the optimal functioning of the water inlet valves, the water pressure on the
inlet should be between 3 and 5 bar (40 and 80 psi). If the pressure is too low, the cycle
time will increase considerably.
In case of boiler fed machines, a minimum of hot water of 90°C - 194°F should be
available per unit. (See Table 1)

Water drain
The machine is equipped with a drain valve with 3" outer diameter (80 mm) for HF455575 and with 2x3" outer diameter (2x80 mm) for HF730-900. This drain valve should be
connected to the drain by means of the drain elbow which is delivered with the machine.
The diameter of the main drain should be adapted to the water ow and the number
of machines. It should be sufcient to handle at least 80 l/min - 21.13 gal./min
(HF455-575) and 160 l/min - 42.26 gal./min (HF730-900) per machine.
It is necessary to connect the main drain at least on one side to an open air-brake to
allow ventilation.
When the main drain has not been sufciently deodorized, every machine should be
installed separately with a deodorizer.

Electrical Installation
Important
Electrical ratings are subject to changes. Refer to serial plate decal for electrical ratings information
specic to your machine.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage. Can cause shock, burn or cause
death. Allow machine power to remain off for two minutes
prior to working in and around AC inverter drive.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage. Can cause shock, burn or death.
Verify that a ground wire from a proven earth ground is
connected to the lug near the input power block on this
machine.
The AC inverter drive requires a clean power supply free from voltage spikes and surges. If a
transformer or generator is connected to the building's power supply, always install line reactors
before the terminal block connections to the machine. A voltage monitor should be used to check
incoming power. The customer’s local power company may provide such a monitor.
If input voltage measures above 240V for a 220V drive or above 480V for a 400V drive, ask the
power company to lower the voltage. As an alternative, a step-down transformer kit is available
from the distributor.
The AC drive provides overload protection for the drive motor. However, a separate single or
three-phase circuit breaker must be installed for complete electrical overload protection. This
prevents damage to the motor by disconnecting all legs if one should be lost accidentally. Check
the data plate on the back of the washer-extractor or consult Table 2 through 5 for circuit breaker
requirements.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT use fuses in place of a circuit breaker.
For installation in the United States or Canada, branch circuit protection must be provided
according to National and Local Codes. The branch circuit breaker must be of the inverse time or
instantaneous trip type at the values given in the technical specications for each machine.
Use a circuit breaker of the minimal type of 10kA interrupt current.
CAUTION
Do not use a voltage or phase converter on any variable speed machine.
The washer-extractor should be connected to an individual branch circuit not shared with lighting or
another electrical device.
The connection should be shielded in a liquid tight or approved exible conduit with proper
conductors of correct size installed in accordance with the National Electric Code or other
applicable codes. The connection must be made by a qualied electrician using the wiring diagram
provided with the washer-extractor, or according to accepted European standards for CE-approved
equipment.
26
Page 27
4
Use wire sizes indicated in Table 2 through 5 for runs up to 50 feet.
Use next larger size for runs of 50 to 100 feet. Use two sizes larger for runs greater than 100 feet.
For personal safety and proper operation, the washer-extractor must be grounded in accordance
with state and local standards. If such standards are not available, grounding must conform to the
National Electric Code, article 250-95. The ground connection must be made to a proven earth
ground, not to a water pipe, gas pipe, or another metal pipe. Provide the necessary equipotential
connections according to the local electrical prescriptions.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Alliance Laundry Systems Warranty does not cover components that fail as a
result of improper input voltage.

Main power connection
Connection label:
Machine power connections are made at the back of the machine. Three or four conductor power cable
is the recommended method (See chapter electrical specs for minimum cable requirements, if local
electrical codes exceed these requirements, follow local codes). The number of conductors in this cable
and the proper connection points for the cable wires shall be determined by the machine and power
requirements. All machines must have a ground wire and be properly grounded. The ground wire must
be insulated with a green/yellow color. This wire is normally within the power cable but can also be a
separate wire run along side the power cable if properly sized.
4
Label 3
Never run a machine that does not have a ground wire. This ground wire must be connected to
the machine grounding lug found near the main switch. This lug is identied with the international
“protective earth” symbol and the letters “PE”. Failure to connect this ground wire can lead to an unsafe
machine condition leading to machine damage and/or operator injury or death. This wire must be
connected to earth ground at far end.
Machine Power Cable Connections:
Remove main switch cover plate at back of machine (see chapter dimensions part (F)). Run power cable
through the cabinet knock-out located directly below the cover plate. Before installing, obtain and install
a cord-grip to hold the cable in place. Never rely upon the electrical connections to hold cable in place.
Allow some slack in this cable outside of the machine to form a drip-loop between the supply power circuit
breaker and the machine knock-out. Connect power cable wires as directed below. Always connect the
ground wire rst and remove last.
Wiring based on the supply power and machine design (voltage/frequency):
440-480 Volts, 3-Phase, 3-wire or 4-wire + PE, 50 or 60 Hertz Conguration (Named: N-Voltage):
With supply power of: 440-480 Volts, 3-phase, 3-wire, after connecting the green/yellow PE ground wire,
connect one wire to each of the bottom terminals of the power contactor switch marked: “L1,L2,L3”. When
this supply power has four wires, connect this 4th wire, identied as a neutral wire, to the bottom terminal
of the auxiliary contactor on the power contactor switch marked: “N”. Connect the remaining power wires
With supply power of: 380-415 Volts, 3-phase, 4-wire, after connecting the green/yellow PE ground wire,
follow the directions of the four wire system for 440-480 Volt conguration.
28

200-240 Volts, 3-Phase, 3-wire + PE, 50 or 60 Hertz Conguration (Named: Q-Voltage or 3-phase X-Voltage):
With supply power of: 200-240 Volts, 3-phase, 3-wire, after connecting the green/yellow PE ground wire, connect one power
wire to each of the terminals at the bottom of the power contactor switch marked: “L1,L2,L3”.
With supply power of: 200-240 Volts, 1-phase, 2-wire, 50Hz, after connecting the green/yellow PE ground wire, connect
the power wire to the “L1” bottom terminal of the power contactor switch and the other wire, identied as the neutral wire,
to the bottom terminal of the auxiliary contactor on the power contactor switch marked: “N”.
With supply power of: 200-240 Volts, 1-phase, 2-wire, 60Hz, after connecting the green/yellow PE ground wire, connect
one power wire to the “L1” and power wire to the “L2” of the bottom terminals of the power contactor switch.
After connection, check the spin direction. The cylinder must spin in the clockwise direction.
A wrong spin direction can damage the motor and can also cause water to spurt from the soap dispenser.
In case of wrong spin direction: switch the terminal clamps of the motor circuit “R” and “S” of the connecting cable or
change the connection at the terminal block switching the L1 and L2 wires.

General maintenance
Periodical maintenance
Clean AC drive lter:
a. Snap off external plastic cover which contains lter.
b. Remove foam lter from cover.
c. Wash lter with warm water and allow to air dry. Filter can be vacuumed clean.
Clean the entire cabinet of the machine regularly and remove all traces of soap,
etc....
Remove all detergent residue in the soap dispenser with hot water.
Clean the door gasket and remove all detergents and other products.
Shut off the main water, steam, and power connections at the end of each day.
Do not change the setting of the water inlet taps on boiler fed machines once
these have been installed.
It is recommended to leave the door and soap dispenser open after use, to
ventilate the machine.
Check for proper door lock operation on a daily basis.
The V-belts of the motors should be retightened after two to three months when
rst used. This is necessary because these belts are subject to a one-time
stretching when rst used. If this is not done, the belt starts to slip after a few
months and will break shortly afterwards.
Check the water inlet lters to make sure they are not blocked by calcication.
Check the drain valve for obstructions.
If a machine frequently skips the nal spin, check whether the probe of the out of
balance switch is still in the appropriate position, that is horizontally centered and
vertically 1/3 from the bottom inside the window. (When the drum is empty).
Lubricate the bearings after every 200 hours of operation or replace the automatic
lubricator annually.
