The following listing of Safety Precautions must be observed when installing this equipment. WARNINGS indicate the potential for danger to personnel, and CAUTIONS indicate the potential for damage to equipment. These Safety Precautions are repeated, where applicable, throughout the manual.
WARNING – PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD:
When handling cabinet panels, use extreme care and wear protective gloves. Panels are heavy and may have sharp edges.
When positioning cabinet panels two people are required to lift and support each panel because of weight and size. One person must support panel while the other person installs the nuts and bolts.
Before placing any weight on the roof panel, secure panel on top of cabinet by installing bolts and nuts, finger tight, in all four corners of roof panel.
When installing doors, more than one person is required to lift doors because of weight and size.
Wheninstallingcontrolcolumn(s),morethanonepersonisrequiredtoliftcontrolcolumninplacebecauseof weight and size.
When installing detergent tank, more than one person is required to lift tank because of weight and size.
When moving sump coil, more than one person is required to lift coil because of weight and size.
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
When checking rotation of drive motor, use extreme caution. If rotation is incorrect, carriage will run directly into the door header.

NOTE: Please review these instructions carefully prior to installing equipment.
Follow instructions in the sequence given.
1.Review installation site and room layout drawings provided with Installation Kit. It may be necessary to vary the actual installation from the drawings due to space limitations or existing obstructions.
2.If necessary, unload, uncrate and move equipment to installation site. Refer to Uncrating / Utility Connection Instructions (P910000-016) shipped with unit.
3.If handling disposal of debris, ensure customer signs off on the disposition of trash left on the job site.
4.Check the Occupational Health and Safety Act as well as local electrical and plumbing codes for any special requirements that may pertain to the installation of this equipment.
5.Recommend to customer that shutoff valves be installed at readily accessible locations in steam and water supply lines near the equipment.
6.Recommend to customer that disconnect switch (with OFF position lockout only) be installed in electric supply line within 10 feet of the equipment.
NOTE: If washer is installed next to other equipment, shutoff valves and disconnect switch must be placed so that service can be shut off to any one piece of equipment at a time.

1.All mounting hardware necessary for complete installation is shipped with
3.1General the unit. Not every piece of mounting hardware will be utilized; ample
Guidelines
amounts are provided.
2.If necessary, use 6'' X 6'' X 1/8'' thick stainless-steel shims to level equipment. Do not exceed 3/4-inch shim height. If equipment requires more than 3/4" shimming material, use square tubing to level equipment.
3.Use silicone (RTV) provided in Installation Kit to seal all panel joints to assure water tightness. When caulking, silicone bead should be a minimum of 1/4 inch wide and completely circle all bolt holes. When in doubt, use silicone liberally. It is easier to prevent a leak during assembly than to fix a leak once equipment is in use.
4.All bolts going to atmosphere (from inside of chamber to outside of cabinet) require sealing washers.
5.All bolts require lockwashers, except the welded nuts along the non-service side of the washer.

2.Position base according to room layout drawings, either in a pit or on the floor. It pit mounted, make sure face of surface is parallel to pit wall (within two to thee inches from the non-service side wall) or positioned as specified in the room layout drawings.
3.Check base height (see Figure 3-1). Ensure the door threshold is at least 1/4" higher than the highest spot on the floor, along the netire door swing (four feet from base). If necessary, position shims under corners of base.

If pit mounted, use a four-foot level to check the door swing (see Figure 3-2). Hold one end of level on door threshold and place two 1/8-inch shims under the opposite end. Check door swing at 90°, 45°, and 15°.
NOTE: When shimming, ensure shim is placed under corner of base with part of the shim exposed.

4.Check level of base along face and length. If necessary, position shims under corners of base. If shims are used to level base, base height must be re-checked once the base is level.
5.In some instances, the base may be shipped in two or three pieces. If base is split, assemble base pieces as follow:
a.Position base pieces, next to one another, close to the final location indicated on the room layout drawings.
b.Connect the base pieces by installing the floor grating supports down the center of the base and on either side of the door threshold (see Figure 3-3).

c.Align the base pieces by stretching a string across the four alignment marks located on the side of each piece (see Figure 3-4). If necessary, position shims under corners of base piece(s).

d.Check base height and level of base as explained in Steps 3 and 4.
e.Once base is level, spot weld a series of one-inch welds along the base seams to maintain the established position.
NOTE: The heat generated by most welding operations will damage epoxy/vinyl flooring. Take appropriate precautions to protect floor from heat and welding arc.
f.Completely weld all base pieces together from the inside.
g.Check for pin holes and incomplete welds. All welds must be water tight.
h.Clean up welds using a wire brush.
6.If shims were used, weld shims in place to form a solid foundation (see Figure 3-5).

8.Check level of pump plate along the plate width and length. If necessary, position shims under the brackets attached to pump plate. Silicone shims in place, using a heavy bead of silicone between the shims, between the pump plate and shims and between the shims and floor.
If pit mounted, ensure shims are flush with the pit wall.
9.Re-tap threads on all welded nuts (along the non-service side of the washer) with 5/16''-18 threads/inch tap.

3.3 Cabinet
WARNING–PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD:
•Whenhandlingcabinetpanels, use extreme care and wearprotectivegloves.Panels are heavy and may have sharp edges.
•When positioning cabinet panels, two people are required to lift and support each panel because of weight and size. One person must support the panel while the other installs the nut and bolts.
NOTE: Cabinet must be completely assembled and tightened within the same day, before silicone hardens.
1.Remove paper from all cabinet panels.
2.Select any corner panel to begin cabinet assembly.
3.Count the number of bolts holes along side of corner panel (e.g. six bolt holes).Donotcountboltholesalongface(load/unloadside)ofcornerpanel.
NOTE: When caulking, fully open caulk nozzle to allow for a heavy silicone bead.
4.On inside of base, silicone around and between the number of bolt holes counted plus one (e.g. seven bolt holes; see Figure 3-7). Do not silicone along face of unit. Make sure to silicone in a consistent line.
NOTE: Only silicone around and between the base bolt holes needed to install one panel at a time.
DO NOT Silicone Silicone Bolt Holes

5.Position bottom of corner panel on base lip. Using your foot, hold bottom of panel on the lip and raise panel up into place. Insert alignment pins, one on either end, to align panel and base bolt holes (see Figure 3-8).
NOTE: All bolts going to atmosphere (from inside of chamber to outside of cabinet) require sealing washers. All bolts require lockwashers, except the welded nut along the non-service side of the washer.
