INSTALLATION
Unpacking
❑Immediately after unpacking your machine, check for any possible shipping damage. If
any damage is found, save the packing materials, including the skids, and contact the
carrier immediately.
❑All the loose parts for your machine and the hardware needed for the assembly of the
sections are contained in a box located on one of the skids.
Locating
❑Before moving the sections into position, inspect the location site and be sure that the
electrical, plumbing, and ventilation services are provided in the correct locations.
Champion provides a Plumbing and Electrical Connections Drawing, (P&E), detailing
these requirements. Compare the site connections with the machine to ensure that they will
match when the machine is set in its permanent location.
❑With each section on its skid, place it as close to its permanent position as possible.
CAUTION:
Each section has piping underneath the base. Lift the section carefully to avoid
damaging the piping.
❑Carefully lift each section, and remove the skid. Remove any tape and shipping brackets.
❑Remove the wireway covers on the rear of each section and lay the wire bundles
to the outside.
❑Open all the doors. If you choose to remove the baffles for easier access to the section
ends, be sure to note their location for correct reassembly later. (See Pg. 18, Fig. 3)
❑Roll the conveyor belt toward the inside of the sections to make the
section assembling easier.
❑Move the center section (Wash/Rinse) to its final position and thread the feet in
as far as possible.
❑Move the other sections into position, leaving about 6 inches of separation between them.
Thread all feet in as far as possible. DO NOT BOLT THE SECTIONS TOGETHER AT
THIS TIME.
Assembling the Sections
❑Check the height of each section and determine which section is the highest
due to floor variations.
❑Begin with the Wash/Rinse section and adjust its height. Keep in mind that the other
sections will be leveled in relation to this section. Therefore, the height of the wash/rinse
section must compensate for floor height variations.
❑Level the wash/rinse section side to side and front to back in several places
using a bubble level.
❑Run a 1/2" bead of silicone sealant on the face of all sides of the hood gasket of the section
end you are going to join.
5
INSTALLATION
Assembling the Sections (continued)
❑Move the next section closer to the prepared end of the center section and adjust the feet of
the second section so that the bolt holes around the hood and gasket align.
❑Slide the connecting hoses and clamps on the drain pipes and cross-flow pipes.
Do not tighten.
❑Level the second section side to side and front to back in several places
using a bubble level.
❑Check the alignment of the conveyor tracks inside the machine, drains,
cross-flows and wireways.
❑Bolt the HOOD sections together FIRST, using the 5/16-18 X 3/4" bolts, lockwashers and
nuts from the hardware kit.
❑Bolt the base together NEXT, using the 1/2-13 X 1" bolts, lockwashers, and nuts from the
hardware kit.
❑Recheck the level of the assembled sections and relevel the second section if necessary.
❑Adjust the hoses on the drain pipes and cross-flow pipes and tighten the clamps.
❑Feed the wire bundles through the wireways and connect the wires.
- Match corresponding numbers and connect them together.
- Connect all white and #2 wires together. White and #2 wires are neutral wires.
❑Connect the copper water lines at the rear of the sections. Be careful not to
cross-thread the connectors.
❑Connect the steam piping below the base (applicable to steam machines only).
❑Install the baffles if you removed them prior to connecting the sections.
❑Repeat the entire process for each section until the machine is completely assembled.
Assembling the Conveyor Belt
❑Start at the unload end of the machine and pull the conveyor belt around the sprockets until
approximately 1-1/2 feet of belt is exposed on the upper track of the machine.
❑Pull a section of belt from the next section along the upper track into the unload end.
❑Join the belt sections together by feeding a conveyor rod through the links, spacers, and
rollers. Install a cotter pin on each end of the rod to secure the assembly.
❑Continue this procedure until all the conveyor belt sections are joined.
❑Adjust the conveyor belt tension at the load end by turning the adjusting bolts on the
take-up assemblies. The take-up assemblies are located on either side of the load end
conveyor shaft. Loosen the adjusting bolt locknuts.
❑Turn each take-up adjusting bolt clockwise equally making sure that the conveyor shaft
remains square with the end of the machine.
❑Note the slack in the lower portion of the belt and be sure that the adjustment
removes the slack.
❑Check for the proper belt tension by lifting up the conveyor belt at the unload end. Proper
tension has been reached when the belt can be lifted off the track a maximum of 1-1/2 to 2
inches. Tighten the adjusting bolt locknuts.
❑RECHECK THE BELT TENSION IN 2-3 WEEKS AND READJUST AS NECESSARY.
(See Initial Start Up #17, Pg. 11)

MAINTENANCE
Regularly scheduled maintenance will increase the efficiency and life of your machine. A well
maintained machine gives better washing results and service. Undoubtedly, the time that you
invest in daily maintenance now, will pay-off in the future.
Cleaning your machine is the best maintenance that you can provide. Components that are not
regularly flushed and cleaned do not perform well.
The Maintenance Intervals shown in the following schedules are the minimum requirements
necessary for the proper performance of your machine. Shorten the maintenance intervals
whenever your machine is faced with abnormal working conditions, hard water, or
multiple shift operations.

Deliming
Mineral deposits, which are frequently referred to as lime because of their white color,
accumulate in the interior of the machine over time. The amount of lime build-up depends on
the mineral content of your water supply. Machines in regions of the country that have hard
water (high mineral content) will require more frequent deliming than in regions
with soft water (low mineral content).
NOTE:
Consult your chemical supplier for an appropriate deliming solution.
WARNING:
Deliming solutions or other acids must not come in contact with
household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) or any chemicals containing
chlorine, iodine, bromine, or fluorine. Mixing will cause hazardous gases
to form. Skin contact with deliming solutions can cause severe irritation
and possible chemical burns. Consult your chemical supplier for specific
safety precautions.
• Weekly or as required
1.Inspect the interior of the machine for lime deposits.
2.Follow the chemical supplier’s recommendations for the deliming solution.
3.Thoroughly flush the interior of the machine when the deliming is complete.
