Safety Information

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.

DANGER

DANGER indicates the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the danger is ignored.

WARNING

WARNING indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the warning is ignored.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer, follow these basic precautions:

W023

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 wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor personal injury or property damage if the caution is ignored.

Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT” and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.

IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used to inform the reader of specific procedures where minor machine damage will occur if the procedure is not followed.

NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate installation, operation, maintenance or servicing information that is important but not hazard related.

5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.

SW010

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, 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 3,280 feet (1,000 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 free of

chemical residues.

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

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 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.

● 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.

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

Input and Output Services

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

WARNIN G

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.

Misuse

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

● Water 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.

10

● 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

F232085

Installation

This manual is designed as a guide to the installation and maintenance of the UW35 and UW60 2 speed rigid-mount washer-extractor.

All information, illustrations, and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of printing. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Machine Overview

The design of the washer-extractor emphasizes performance reliability and long service life. The cylinder, shell, and main body panels are fabricated of stainless steel. The washer-extractor is mounted on a welded base frame which supports the bearings, cylinder, and shell.

Electrical controls for the washer-extractor are housed in a separate enclosure located on the top of the machine. The controls are accessed by removing the top cover from the control module.

One 2 speed motor drives the cylinder via a V-drive system. The cylinder is supported via the shaft by two bearings. The UW35 uses two ball bearing sets held in place by a cast-iron housing that is bolted to the Aframe. The UW60 uses two flange-mounted, spherical roller bearings bolted to the A-frame.

On the UW60, a balance switch is installed between the faces of the A-frame to signal the controls to slow the machine when a severely out-of-balance load occurs during extract.

The cylinder is constructed with lifters or ribs that lift the laundry from the bath solution when the cylinder rotates at slow speed and then allow the laundry to tumble back into the bath. This mechanical action accomplishes the washing function. The cylinder is perforated, allowing the water to drain from within during the wash and extract steps.

The spray rinse feature (available only on S and P computers) consists of a fiber-reinforced clear hose connected to the center of the door glass and to both a hot and cold water inlet valve. A hemisphericallyshaped spray nozzle inside the door glass produces a fan-action water spray which disperses rinse water throughout the load.

Water enters the machine through electromechanical water valves. Vacuum breakers are installed in the water-inlet plumbing to prevent backflow of water.

A motorized drain valve holds water in the machine during the wash, soak, and rinse steps. The drain valve is normally open, which means that it closes only when power is applied, thus allowing the machine to drain in the event of a power failure.

A door-lock system prevents opening of the stainless steel door when a cycle is in progress. It also prevents operation of the machine when the door is open. The doorbox contains the door-lock microswitch, doorclosed magnetic switch, and the door unlock solenoid.

The UW35 shaft seal assembly includes two lip seals integrated into the cast-iron bearing housing. Each seal has two lips which make contact with a polished sleeve mounted to the shaft.

The UW60 shaft seal assembly includes a brass collar held in place on the cylinder shaft with set screws. The collar has a flange with a ceramic ring which makes contact with a spring-loaded carbon face seal enclosed in a nylon housing mounted on the rear of the shell. The collar contains two internal O-rings which maintain contact with the cylinder shaft.

The polypropylene supply dispenser is mounted on the right side of the washer-extractor, viewed from the front. The dispenser has five supply compartments, numbered 1–5, starting from the rear of the machine. The compartments hold plastic supply cups that are used for either liquid or dry supplies. A nozzle flushes supplies from the cups with water for the time programmed in the cycle.

Liquid supplies can be injected directly into the cups by a customer-supplied external chemical supply system. Five hose strain reliefs on top of the supply dispenser facilitate connection to an external supply system. A terminal strip inside a compartment attached to the left side of the control module, viewed from the rear of the washer-extractor, provides connection points for external supply signals. On all P and B models this terminal strip is located on the rear of the module.

Installation

Machine Foundation

A proper foundation is absolutely necessary for UW 2 speed washer-extractors because of the high extract speed and the G-forces exerted.

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.

CAUTION

Ensure that the machine is installed on a level floor of sufficient strength and that the recommended clearances for inspection and maintenance are provided. Never allow the inspection and maintenance space to be blocked.

SW020

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.)

If the existing floor is not reinforced concrete at least 6 inches (15 cm) thick over a solid foundation, cut a hole approximately 5 feet square through the existing floor. Excavate to a depth of 6 inches (15 cm) from the top of the existing floor. Produce a pyramid-shaped hole by excavating the bottom of the hole to a width 6 inches (15 cm) wider on each side than the width of the top of the hole. Fill with 6 inches of reinforced concrete. Embed the mounting bolts or base frame as the concrete is poured. Ensure that the bolt threads extend 2 inches (5 cm) above floor level.

22

NOTE: Concrete should be poured at least 12 inches (30 cm) under the existing floor on all four sides and tied in with rebar.

F232085

After the concrete has cured, proceed as follows:

1. Place the washer-extractor adjacent to the foundation. Do not attempt to move the machine by pushing on the sides. Always insert a pry bar or other device under the bottom frame of the machine to move it.

2. Remove the wood skid by unscrewing the carriage bolts holding the skid to the bottom frame of the washer-extractor.

3. Place the washer-extractor carefully over the anchor bolts. Never attempt to lift the machine by the door handle or by pushing on the cover panels.

7. Before grout sets completely, make a drain opening in the rear of the washer-extractor grouting with a stiff piece of wire. This opening should be approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm) wide to allow any surface water build-up under the base of the machine to drain away. Do not omit

this step.

8. Position the mounting bolt washers and locknuts on the anchor bolts and fingertighten locknuts to machine base.

9. After the grout is completely dry, tighten the locknuts by even increments – one after the other – until all are tightened evenly and the washer-extractor is fastened securely to the floor.

NOTE: Check and retighten the locknuts after five to ten days of operation and every month thereafter.

Drain Connection

A drain system of adequate capacity is essential to washer-extractor performance. Ideally, the water should empty through a vented pipe directly into a sump or floor drain. Figures 9 and 10 show drain line and drain trough configurations.

1 ft.

(30 cm)

If proper drain size is not available or practical, a surge tank is required. A surge tank in conjunction with a sump pump should be used when gravity drainage is not possible, such as in below-ground-level installations.

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.

PHM620N

Figure 9

A flexible connection must be made to a vented drain system to prevent an air lock and to prevent siphoning.

IMPORTANT: Washer-extractor must be installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

IMPORTANT: The top of the vent must be 1 foot (30 cm) lower than the bottom of the dispenser.

Installation

On U4 and earlier model units, a stainless steel box at the right rear of the control module houses a terminal strip which furnishes supply output signals for the chemical injection supply pumps. Refer to Figure 19 for an example of a typical terminal strip decal.

On U5 and later model units, the terminal strip that furnishes the supply output signal for the chemicals injection and supply is located inside the control module at the rear. Access is through the rear panel of the module.

Terminals Supply 1 through Supply 5 provide 120 VAC or 240 VAC fused at 500 mA. (Refer to the decal at the external supply terminal strip to determine whether the washer-extractor provides 120 VAC or 240 VAC, as well as other pertinent information.) These terminals may be used to provide signals to the chemical injection supply system but must not be used to provide power to the actual pump. Do not attempt to increase fuse rating as this may cause damage to the washer-extractor’s circuitry.

Any injection system pump which requires 110 VAC must be powered by a separate external power source.
