SW012

To ensure the safety of machine operators, the following maintenance checks must be performed daily:

1. Prior to operating the machine, verify that all warning signs are present and legible. Missing or illegible signs must be replaced immediately. Make certain that spares are available.

2. Check door interlock before starting operation of the machine:

a. Attempt to start the machine with the door

open. The machine should not start with the door open.

b. Close the door without locking it and attempt

to start the machine. The machine should not start with the door unlocked.

c. Close and lock the door and start a cycle.

Attempt to open the door while the cycle is in progress. The door should not open.

If the door lock and interlock are not functioning properly, call a service technician.

3. Do not attempt to operate the machine if any of the following conditions are present:

a. The door does not remain securely locked

during the entire cycle. b. Excessively high water level is evident. c. Machine is not connected to a properly

grounded circuit.

Do not bypass any safety devices in the machine.

WARNING

Never operate the machine with a bypassed or disconnected balance system. Operating the machine with severe out-of-balance loads could result in personal injury and serious equipment damage.

SW039

Safe Operating Environment

Safe operation requires an appropriate operating environment for both the operator and the machine. If questions regarding safety arise, contact the factory immediately.

Environmental Conditions

● Ambient Temperature. Water in the machine will

freeze at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or below. Temperatures above 120°F (50°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.

● Ventilation. The need for make-up air openings

for such laundry room accessories as dryers, ironers, or water heaters 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 meters) above sea level, pay special attention to water levels and electronic settings (particularly temperature) or desired results may not be achieved.

● Chemicals. Keep stainless steel surfaces

freeofchemical residues.

F232123

DANGER

Do not place volatile or flammable fluids in any machine. Do not clean the machine with volatile or flammable fluids such as acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel reducers, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, benzene, naptha, etc. Doing so could result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the machine.

SW002

● Water Damage. Do not spray the machine with

water. Short circuiting and serious damage may result.

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.

This is especially important in connection with machines equipped with an AC inverter drive.

Consult installation instructions for specific details.

Safety

Input and Output Services

● Wate r Pressure. 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.

● Compressed Air. For machines requiring

compressed air service, best performance will be realized if air is provided at a pressure of 80 – 100 psi (5.4 – 6.7 bar).

● Drainage System. Provide drain lines or troughs

large enough to accommodate the total number of gallons that could be dumped 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.

CAUTION

Replace all panels that are removed to perform service and maintenance procedures. Do not operate the machine with missing guards or with broken or missing parts. Do not bypass any safety devices.

SW019

● Powe r. 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 in place of the circuit breaker. An easyaccess cutoff switch should also be provided.

WARNING

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

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.

F232123

Safety

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.

If voltage is above 240 Volt for 200 Volt installations or above 480 Volt for 400 Volt installations, a buckboost transformer is required.

Misuse

Never use this machine for any purpose other than washing fabric with water.

● Never wash petroleum-soaked rags in the

machine. This could result in an explosion.

● Never wash machine parts or automotive parts in

the machine. This could result in serious damage to the basket.

● Never allow children to play on or around this

machine. Death or serious injury can result if children become trapped in the machine. Do not leave children unattended while the machine door is open. These cautions apply to animals as well.

● Sufficient space to perform service procedures

and routine preventive maintenance is especially important for machines equipped with the AC inverter drive.
