INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state and national building,
electrical, plumbing and other codes in effect in the area.

WARNING - THESE INSTALLATION AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
ARE FOR USE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. TO AVOID INJURY
AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING
OTHER THAN THAT CONTAINED IN THE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS, UNLESS QUALIFIED.

FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS

This machine is designed for use on or over bare concrete floor - not to be used above
combustible flooring. The washer must be securely bolted and grouted to a substantial concrete
floor, or mounted upon a suitable base that is securely bolted and grouted to a substantial
concrete floor. CARE MUST BE STRESSED WITH ALL FOUNDATION WORK TO
INSURE A STABLE UNIT INSTALLATION, ELIMINATING POSSIBILITIES OF
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. All installations must be made on sound concrete floors, 6 inches
(150mm) or thicker. Anchor bolts or expansion anchors must be of a quality grade and a
minimum of 5/8 inch (16 mm) diameter.

MOUNTING

A concrete pedestal or steel-mounting base that elevates the machine approximately 8 inches
(200 mm) above the floor level is recommended to provide easy access to the loading door.
Allow a minimum of 24 inches (600mm) of clearance behind the rear of the machine, to provide
access for motor removal. Refer to Fig. 1-1 and 1-2 for machine bolt-down dimensions.

If an elevated concrete pedestal is desired, it should be embedded into the existing floor. Anchor
bolts should be 5/8" x 8" (12 mm x 200 mm), grade 8 or better, headed by a 4 inch (10 cm)
square fish plate and should protrude 1 7/8” (48 mm) above the finished surface of the pedestal.
EXPANSION ANCHORS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN CONCRETE
PEDESTALS, BECAUSE THE ANCHORS ARE TOO CLOSE TO AN EDGE, CAUSING IT
TO BREAK OUT. (See Fig. 1-1 and 1-3.)

PLUMBING

Water supply hoses are furnished with each machine. The threaded connections on the hoses are ¾­11 ½ NHT.

Separate hot and cold water lines must be provided, maintaining 30 psi to 120 psi (207 kPa to 818
kPa) water flow pressure. A 140F (60C) degree hot water supply is recommended for best washing
results.

DRAIN

The drain outlet tube at the rear of the machine is 2 ¼ inches (57 mm) in diameter. Any drain hose
used must be lower than the drain valve to assure proper draining.

ELECTRICAL

WARNING

SHUT OFF POWER AND WATER BEFORE OPENING ANY SERVICE PANELS.

The Dexter 350 single/three-phase 208-240VAC 60 Hz washing machines are intended to be
permanently installed appliances. No power cord is provided. The machine should be connected to
an individual branch circuit not shared by lighting or other equipment. The connection should be
sheathed in liquid tight flexible conduit, or equivalent, with conductors of the proper size and
insulation. A qualified technician should make such connections in accordance with the wiring
diagram. (Suggest a minimum wire size of 12 ga.)

TO MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: Disconnect all power to the washer. Remove the top
panel of the washer and locate the power terminal block near the back of the control compartment.

 If power is 208-240-3PH-60Hz, connect L1, L2, L3 and ground. If there is a high leg it must

be connected to L3.

 If power is 208-240-1PH-60Hz, connect L1, L2 and Ground.

NOTE: It is important that the grounding screw next to the power terminal block TB-1 be
connected to a good external ground.

FUSING REQUIREMENTS

SINGLE- and THREE-PHASE MODELS - 15 AMP TIME-DELAY (DUAL ELEMENT)
FUSE (or equivalent circuit breaker)
