CAUTION
Safe Operating Environment
Safe operation requires an appropriate operating
environment for both the operator and the machine. If
questions regarding safety arise, contact the
manufacturer immediately.
Environmental Conditions
Ambient Temperature. Water in the machine will
freeze at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or below.
Temperatures above 104°F (40°C) will result in
more frequent motor overheating and, in some
cases, malfunction or premature damage to solid
state devices that are used in some models.
Special cooling devices may be necessary.
Water pressure switches are affected by increases
and decreases in temperature. Every 25°F (10°C)
change in temperature will have a 1% effect on
the water level.
Humidity. Relative humidity above 90% may
cause the machine’s electronics or motors to
malfunction or may trip the ground fault
interrupter. Corrosion problems may occur on
some metal components in the machine.
If the relative humidity is below 30%, belts and
rubber hoses may eventually develop dry rot.
This condition can result in hose leaks, which
may cause safety hazards external to the machine
in conjunction with adjacent electrical
equipment.
Water Damage. Do not spray the machine with
water. Short circuiting and serious damage may
result. Repair immediately all seepage due to
worn or damaged gaskets, etc.
Machine Location
Foundation. The concrete floor must be of
sufficient strength and thickness to handle the
floor loads generated by the high extract speeds
of the machine.
Service/Maintenance Space. Provide sufficient
space to allow comfortable performance of
service procedures and routine preventive
maintenance.
Consult installation instructions for specific details.
Ventilation. The need for make-up air openings
for such laundry room accessories as dryers,
ironers, water heaters, etc., must be evaluated
periodically. Louvers, screens, or other
separating devices may reduce the available air
opening significantly.
Radio Frequency Emissions. A filter is available
for machines in installations where floor space is
shared with equipment sensitive to radio
frequency emissions.
Elevation. If the machine is to be operated at
elevations of over 3280 feet (1000 m) above sea
level, pay special attention to water levels and
electronic settings (particularly temperature) or
desired results may not be achieved.
Ensure that a ground wire from a proven
earth ground is connected to the ground
lug near the input power block on this
machine. Without proper grounding,
personal injury from electric shock could
occur and machine malfunctions may be
evident.
SW008
WARNING
Input and Output Services
Wa te rPressure. Best performance will be
realized if water is provided at a pressure of 30 –
85 psi (2.0 – 5.7 bar). Although the machine will
function properly at lower pressure, increased fill
times will occur. Water pressure higher than 100
psi (6.7 bar) may result in damage to machine
plumbing. Component failure(s) and personal
injury could result.
Steam Heat (Optional) Pressure. Best
performance will be realized if steam is provided
at a pressure of 30 – 80 psi (2.0 – 5.4 bar). Steam
pressure higher than 125 psi (8.5 bar) may result
in damage to steam components and may cause
personal injury.
For machines equipped with optional steam heat,
install piping in accordance with approved
commercial steam practices. Failure to install the
supplied steam filter may void the warranty.
Drainage System. Provide drain lines or troughs
large enough to accommodate the total number of
gallons that could be released if all machines on
the site drained at the same time from the highest
attainable level. If troughs are used, they should
be covered to support light foot traffic.
Power. For personal safety and for proper
operation, the machine must be grounded in
accordance with state and local codes. The
ground connection must be to a proven earth
ground, not to conduit or water pipes. Do not use
fuses. An easy-access cutoff switch should also
be provided.
AC Inverter Drive
Machines equipped with the AC inverter drive require
special attention with regard to the operating
environment.
An especially dusty or linty environment will
require more frequent cleaning of the AC inverter
drive cooling fan filter and of the AC inverter
drive itself.
Power line fluctuations from sources such as
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can
adversely affect machines equipped with the AC
inverter drive. Proper suppression devices should
be utilized on the incoming power to the machine
to avoid problems.
A clean power supply free from voltage spikes
and surges is absolutely essential for machines
equipped with the AC inverter drive. Nonlinear
inconsistencies (peaks and valleys) in the power
supply can cause the AC inverter drive to
generate nuisance errors.
The following conditions must be corrected:
input voltage above 240V or 480V, phase to
ground voltage exceeds 125% of normal line to
line voltage, or 240V open delta configuration
(stinger leg). Contact the distributor or the
manufacturer for assistance.
Sufficient space to perform service procedures
and routine preventive maintenance is especially
important for machines equipped with the AC
inverter drive.
Always disconnect power and water supplies before a
service technician performs any service procedure.
Where applicable, steam and/or compressed air
supplies should also be disconnected before service is
performed.

and M-speed models) or a 12 inch (305 mm) (for all
other models) thickness of 3500 psi reinforced
concrete foundation is absolutely necessary because of
the high extract speed and the G-forces exerted.
When designing floors or foundations, refer to Tab le 3
for Floor Load Data for all model sizes. If the
foundation requirements have been met, proceed to
Mounting Bolt Installation Requirements section.
NOTE: Do not mount on wooden floors, above
ground level, or over basements. Installation must
be “slab on grade” or equal.
Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with all
foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation,
eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration during
extract.
For new foundations a bolt-locator fixture or rebar
frame is available and a preferred option. This rigid
welded assembly made of reinforcing rod and
mounting bolts is designed to be embedded in
concrete. Refer to Figure 11.
The washer-extractor must be anchored to a smooth
level surface so that the entire base of the machine is
supported and rests on the mounting surface. (Do not
support the washer-extractor on only four points.)
Make sure to grout machine. Refer to Figure 10 and
Figure 11.
A concrete foundation and pad may be constructed to
elevate the machines. Care must be exercised in the
design of the foundation pad due to the force exerted
by the machine during extract. This concrete base
(recommended not to exceed 8 inches [20.32 cm])
(above existing floor) must be poured, reinforced with
rebar and tied to the existing 6 inch (153 mm) (for 35
and 60 2-speed, L-speed and M-speed models) or 12
inch (305 mm) (for all other models) minimum floor.
Refer to Figure 9 and Table 3.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT install a pad on top of the
existing floor. The foundation and pad must be
constructed and tied together as one piece.
If the existing floor is not reinforced concrete at least 6
inch (153 mm) (for 35 and 60 2-speed, L-speed and
M-speed models) or 12 inch (305 mm) (for all other
models) thick over a solid foundation, the following
steps must be performed (refer to Figure 9):
1. Cut a hole larger on all sides than the machine
base through the existing floor. The foundation
should extend a minimum of 9 inches (229 mm)
for 35 models or 12 inches (305 mm) for 60 - 150
models out from the machine on all sides.
2. Excavate to a depth of 18 inches (457 mm) from
the top of the existing floor.
6. Wet the hole around the cement foundation well
and brush the exposed foundation with cement
grout.
7. Completely fill with a minimum of 6 inch (153
mm) (for 35 and 60 2-speed, L-speed and
M-speed models) or 12 inch (305 mm) (for all
other models) of 3500 psi concrete up to the
existing foundation level plus any added level for
the desired elevated pad. The concrete must be
poured so that the entire foundation and pad
cures as one piece.
8. For new foundations only a bolt-locator fixture
or a rebar frame is available and a preferred
option. Embed the mounting bolts or rebar frame
as the concrete is poured. Ensure that the bolt
threads extend 2 inches (51 mm) for 35 - 125
models and 3 inches (76 mm) for 150 models
above floor level.
9. Allow concrete to dry.
10. Proceed to Machine Mounting and Grouting
section.
NOTE: If the washer-extractor installation will
include the Premium Wet Clean Module, the
elevated base must be designed to accommodate the
additional depth of 24 inches (60.96 cm).
For technical assistance, contact your local distributor
or call Alliance Laundry Systems at (920) 748-3121.
3. Produce a PYRAMID-SHAPED hole by
excavating the bottom of the hole to a width 6
inches wider on each side than the width of the
top of the hole.
4. If installing a foundation and pad, prepare a form
for the above-ground portion of the foundation.
Verify that the top of the foundation is level. The
height of the foundation pad must not exceed 8
inches (203 mm) above the existing floor.
5. Refill with compacted fill dirt, making sure to
allow for correct concrete thickness.
NOTE: If installing expansion bolts into an
elevated concrete foundation pad, the concrete
foundation pad should extend a minimum of 9
inches (229 mm) for 35 machines or 12 inches (305
mm) for 60 - 150 machines out from the machine
base on all sides. Refer to Figure 9.
A bolt kit consisting of eight bolts is available as an
option. 35 machines use 5/8-11 x 8 inch bolts.
60 – 125 machines use 3/4-10 x 8 inch bolts. 150
machines use 3/4-10 x 10 inch grade 5 bolts. The bolts
should be embedded in a 3500 psi (241 bar) minimum
reinforced concrete floor that is a minimum of 6 inches
(153 mm) (for 35 and 60 2-speed, L-speed, and
M-speed models) or a 12 inch (305 mm) (for all other
models) thick. Use the mounting bolt layouts in
Mounting Bolt Hole Locations section.
On 35 – 125 machines, the threaded end of the bolts
should extend 2 inches (5.08 cm) above the mounting
surface. On 150 machines, the threaded end of the
bolts should extend 3 inches above the mounting
surface.

Installation of additional washer-extractors will
require proportionately larger drain connections. Refer
to Table 7.
Before any deviation from specified installation
procedures is attempted, the customer or installer
should contact the distributor.
Increasing the drain hose length, installing elbows, or
causing bends will decrease drain flow rate and
increase drain times, impairing washer-extractor
performance.
IMPORTANT: Do not block the overflow vent
above the drain line.
If water or suds flow from the overflow vent and the
machine has been verified to be operating properly
with proper water levels and correct amount of laundry
chemicals, a drain line may be added to the vent and
routed to a drain trough.
1. Remove the riveted bracket on the rear panel for
access to the overflow vent pipe.
2. Route a drain pipe from the vent pipe to a drain
trough. Drain pipe should be routed straight
across or down and be suspended above drain
trough by at least 3 inches (7.62 cm).
IMPORTANT: Do not route the overflow vent pipe
to a direct drain system.

A bracket, which is located on the left side of the
control module, has been provided for mounting the
external supply controls. This bracket is present only
on models made through 6/30/08. Refer to Figures 5
through 10.
For proper communication between the washerextractor and an external chemical supply system, it is
important for the signal power to be connected
properly. The included wiring diagram (F8133502)
shows several different options for safe and correct
wiring of this interface.
The preferred method for connecting the wiring from
the external chemical supply system to the washerextractor is to use the 300mA power of the washerextractor’s 24VAC control transformer, which is
intended strictly for this purpose. Other voltage and
current options are available, but require some wiring
changes and must be provided with an external power
source. Under no circumstances should the highvoltage machine supply connections or source be used
for the communication wiring.
Communication wiring connections, which include a
single row of identified terminal blocks, can be found
under a service panel at the upper back of the machine.
Refer to Figure 30.
Chemical Injection Using Internal 24VAC
Control Transformer
NOTE: Using the Internal 24VAC 300 Milliamp
Control Transformer is recommended by Alliance
Laundry Systems.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove the red jumper
wire from the terminal strip.
There are 3 terminals necessary for this
connection option.
Terminal “24VAC COM” is used to connect one
side of the internal control transformer to the
external dispenser input signals common.
The second terminal is used to connect the other
side of the control transformer to the washerextractor output signals common through a red
jumper wire between “24VAC” and “RELAY
COM”. Refer to Figure 31.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the transformer
terminals if an external power supply is used.
Do not attempt to increase fuse rating or
alter wiring of external chemical supply
