Set out below are the specifications and requirements that you must use and follow to properly install
the type or types of equipment listed above. It is your obligation as the customer to ensure that the
machine is installed safely and properly, and when completed, the machine is left in proper and safe
working order. Electrical, Plumbing, and Chemical hookup must be performed by qualified personnel
who will ensure that the equipment is installed in accordance with all applicable Codes, Ordinances,
and Safety requirements. Failure to follow these requirements will void the war-
ranty. ADS assumes no liability or control over the installation of the equipment. Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the
ADS Warranty.
WARNING:
Always disconnect power to dishmachine and tag out
before servicing. Caution: Refer to chemical
suppliers MSDS sheets for proper handling and
chemical issues. Turn off machine at master switch
before opening for inspection.
IMPORTANT:
Dishmachines are 120 volt and require a 20 amp (40 amp
for 5AG double rack) clean circuit and suitable ground. It
is recommended that new equipment be installed with
new circuit breakers.
NOTE TO INSTALLER:
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE WITH SPRAY ARMS
INSTALLED UNTIL MACHINE IS FLUSHED WITH WATER.
Fill machine with water and run though one cycle without spray
arms in place. This will flush installation debris from tank and
pump and prevent damage to spray arm bearings.
Water Heaters or boilers must provide the minimum temperature
required by the type of machine and a minimum recovery rate of
82 gallons per hour. The recommended temperature range for
optimal performance is 130-140 degrees F. Caution: Do not
exceed water temperatures above 150 degrees F.
All drains are gravity flow. Drain pipes must go downhill.

Important: The dishmachine master switch must be in the OFF position before connecting power. This switch
is located on the back of the control box for all Top Mount machines and under the control box on Front Mount
machines.
The power supply (120 volt - 20 amps) must consist of two (2) 10-12 AWG copper wires and a suitable ground. The 20
amp breaker or fuse must be on a clean circuit to the machine. ADS has provided a junction box (for electrical hook-up)
with a conduit hole for 1/2” conduit. This junction box is attached to the back of the control box, except the front mount AF
and AFB, which is located on the left side of the frame next to the motor mount plate.
Remove the junction box cover and attach 120 volt supply wire (usually black) to black wire in the junction box. Attach the
neutral wire (white) to the white wire in the junction box. Attach ground wire to the green ground screw located in the
junction box and tighten all wires. Replace junction box cover.
Electrical for 5AG-S, 5AG - Front Mount, 5CD
5AG-S Double Rack Top Mount:
This dishmachine has two main/master switches. These are located on the back of the control box and face to the rear.
These switches open or close the power supply to their respective motors; the right-hand switch controls the right-hand
motor relay and the right-hand pump motor, the left-hand switch controls the left-hand motor relay and the left-hand pump
motor. The right master switch (as you face the machine) controls power to the cam timer.
To DISCONNECT power to the machine, both switches must be toggled to the left as you are facing the machine’s front.
5AG-S Double Rack Front Mount Control Box:
This dishmachine has two main/master switches. These are located under the control box and behind the chemical
transfer tubes, they face down toward the floor. The right-hand switch controls the right-hand pump motor, the left-hand
switch controls the left-hand pump motor. The left master switch (as you face the machine) controls power to the cam
timer (control circuit).
To DISCONNECT power to the machine, both switches must be toggled to the left as you are facing the machine’s front.
Single Connection-One (1) 40-Amp Circuit:
The power supply (120 volt - 40 amp) must consist of two (2) 8 AWG copper wires and a suitable ground. The breaker
must be on a clean circuit. ADS has provided a junction box (for electrical hook-up) with a threaded conduit hole for 1/2”
conduit. The junction box is attached to the back of the control box for all machines except the 5AG Front Mount, which
is located on the left side of the frame next to the motor mount plate.
Remove the junction box cover and attach 120 volt supply wire (black) to both black wires in the junction box. Attach the
neutral wire (white) to both white wires in the junction box. Attach ground wire to the green ground screw located in the
junction box and tighten all wires. Replace junction box cover.
Dual Connection-Two (2) 20 Amp Circuits:
WARNING: PUT A LABEL ON THE BUILDING’S CIRCUIT BREAKERS NOTING THERE IS A DUAL ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY TO THE MACHINE.
Supply power to dishmachine using two (120 volt - 20 amp) circuits. The breakers or fuses must be on clean circuits to
the machine. Each circuit must consist of two (2) 10-12 AWG copper wires. Only one (single) suitable ground is
required for power connection. ADS has provided a junction box (for electrical hook-up) with a threaded conduit hole for 1/
2” conduit. Bring both power circuits and ground to this conduit opening. This junction box is located on the back of the
control box for all except the 5AG Front Mount, which is located on the left side of the frame next to the motor mount
plate.
NOTE: The use of solid color wires and red tracer wires started in 2/2003, the solid color denotes the control
circuit wires .
5CD Corner Douber Rack:
This dishmachine has one main/master switch. It is located on the back of the control box and faces to the rear.
To DISCONNECT power to the machine, the switch must be toggled to the left as you are facing the machine’s front.
The power supply (120 volt, 20-amp) must consist of two (2) 10-12 AWG copper wires and a suitable ground wire. The
20-amp breaker or fuse must be on a clean circuit to the machine. ADS has provided a junction box (for electrical hookup) with a threaded conduit hole for 1/2” conduit. This junction box is located on the back of the control box. Remove the
junction box cover and attach a 120-volt supply wire (usually black) to the black wire in the junction box. Attach the
neutral wire (white) to the white wire in the junction box. Attach the ground wire to the green ground screw located in the
junction box and tighten all wires firmly. Replace the junction box cover.
