WARNING - THIS WASHER IS EQUIPPED WITH DEVICES AND FEATURES RELATING TO ITS
SAFE OPERATION. TO AVOID INJURY OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT PERFORM
ANY SERVICING UNLESS QUALIFIED TO DO SO.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO CHECK THIS EQUIPMENT ON A
FREQUENT BASIS TO ASSURE ITS SAFE OPERATION.
A machine should not be allowed to operate if any of the following occur:
! Excessively high water level.
! If machine is not connected to a properly grounded circuit.
! If the door does not remain securely locked during the entire cycle.
! Vibration or shaking from an inadequate mounting or foundation.
WARNING - FOR SAFETY
1. Always shut off power and water supply and wait a minimum of one minute
before servicing.
2. Do not overload the washer.
3. Do not bypass any safety devices of this washer.
4. Do not use volatile or flammable substances in or near this washer.
5. Do not attempt to open door when cylinder is in motion or it contains
water.
6. Keep all panels in place. They protect against shock and injury and add
rigidity to the washer.
MAINTENANCE HINTS
DAILY
! Clean the top and the cabinet to remove residue.
! Clean the soap dispenser and lid.
! Check the drain valve for leaking and that it opens properly.
! Check the loading door for leaks. Clean the door seal of all foreign matter.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state and
national building, electrical, plumbing and other codes in effect.
WARNING - THESE INSTALLATION AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR
USE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. TO AVOID INJURY AND ELECTRIC
SHOCK DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING 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 to a
substantial concrete floor, or mounted upon a suitable base which is, in turn,
securely bolted 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" or thicker. Anchor bolts must be of a quality grade and a
minimum of 5/8" diameter. Four (4) mounting bolts must be used.
MOUNTING
A concrete pedestal or steel mounting base which elevates the machine
approximately 6" above the floor level is recommended to provide easy access to
the loading door. Actual base height should be determined by application
considering access to loading door, access to soap dispenser and height of
loading carts. Allow a minimum of 24" of clearance behind the rear of the
machine, to provide access for motor removal. Refer to Fig. 1-1 & 1-2 for
machine bolt-down dimensions. Refer to Fig. 2 for overall washer dimensions.
If an elevated concrete pedestal is desired, it should be embedded into the
existing floor. Anchor bolts should be 5/8" x 8", grade 5 or better, headed by
a 4 inch square fish plate and should protrude 1 7/8 inches above the finished
surface of the pedestal. EXPANSION ANCHORS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN
CONCRETE FLOORS OR 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 3/4-11 2 NHT.
Separate hot and cold water lines must be provided, maintaining 30 PSI to 120
PSI water flow pressure.
DRAIN
The drain outlet tube at the rear of the machine is 3 inches 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.
Dexter T600 washing machines are intended to be permanently installed
appliances. 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. No power cord is provided. Such connections should be
made by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the wiring diagram.
(Suggest minimum wire size of 12 ga.)
FUSING REQUIREMENTS
15 Amp Time Delay (Dual Element) Fuse(s) (or equivalent circuit breaker).
TO MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
Remove screw and lift out cover located on upper left of machine (viewed from
back).
Figure 3 - Electrical Power Connections
If power is 208-240-3PH-60HZ
connect L1, L2, L3 and ground.
(If there is a high phase it must
be connected to L3.)
If power is 208-240-1PH-60HZ
connect L1, L2 and ground.
IMPORTANT
FOR SAFETY AND PROPER EQUIPMENT
OPERATION THE GROUND LUG MUST BE
CONNECTED TO A GOOD EXTERNAL
GROUND.

CHEMICAL INJECTION
Dexter T600 washing machines are intended to be permanently installed
appliances. The machine is intended to have a chemical injection system
operating with it. There are convenient electrical connection points for the
injection pumps shown in Figure 3. Up to four (4) independent pumps can be
controlled through the signals A, B, C and D. The injection pump signals are
115 VAC. The COM shown in Figure 3 is the common or return for these injection
signals. The complete injection system can be connected to FL1 and FL2 for
system power if other sources are not available. These connections require
fusing which are not provided by Dexter (Dashed lines shown in Figure 3). The
maximum current of the complete injection system is 7 Amps.
The four injection pump signals (A, B, C and D) are individually selected or in
combinations by the programming within the selected cycle. The recommended
signal connections are shown in Figure 4. The selection of the signal is
explained in the Programming Instructions section of this manual.
FIGURE 4 - INJECTION SOURCE SIGNALS AND CONNECTION RECOMMENDATION
CHEMICAL INJECTION HOSES
Chemical Injection hoses are to be inserted into the injection inlet at the
upper right rear of the washer. These hoses should be inserted into the round
PVC pipe a minimum of 14" and a maximum of 18" to eliminate chemical buildup in
the pipe and/or restrict water flow to the tub. Secure the hoses as required.
FINAL CHECKOUT
After all mounting, plumbing and electrical work is completed, the washer
should be checked for water leaks and proper functioning by first running each
step in the diagnostic cycle (cycle # 31) and by running a complete cycle.
