KARTWASHER UNLOADING & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Your Kartwasher is shipped fully assembled ready to place on the floor or pit in
your selected location. Follow the directions:

Unloading:*DO NOT SIGN BILL OF LADING UNTIL INSPECTED*

1. Unwrap Kartwasher and inspect for damage during shipping.

2. The Kartwasher may be picked up with a forklift with extra long (60” min.)
forks. It must be picked up off center, the weight of the components in the
side of the Kartwasher make it off balance at the center lift. The balance point
which is indicated on the Kartwasher is near the door edge in the middle of
the Kartwasher pallet.
If there is no forklift with extra long forks to pick up the Kartwasher it can be
lifted by any means at one end and dragged off the truck and slid into
position.

3. Lift the Kartwasher and unbolt the wood holding the Kartwasher to the pallet.
Remove the pallet and any plywood under the Kartwasher.

4. Slowly lower the Kartwasher onto the floor. Do not drop. Slide into the final
position using wood between the Kartwasher frame and forks.

5. Mount to the floor in 4-8 places using proper fasteners per floor type.

PIT INSTALLATION (Refer to Drawing 9501-100 or 9501-101)

1. Remove the shipping blocks. Place 4" blocks in one end of the pit.

2. Slide the Kartwasher onto the blocks. Using a “J” bar, forklift or similar
leverage instrument, lower the Kartwasher into the pit. Remove the blocks
from the one end and lower that portion into the pit. Due to the pit dimensions
and depth the Kartwasher must be lowered in stages into the pit. For
conveyor systems see additional instructions.

UTILITY CONNECTIONS: (Refer to Drawing KW100)

The electrical conduit, water pipe and air line should be connected through the
ceiling to the component, utility section of the Kartwasher. Drill holes directly
above the internal connection locations. Caulk around the ceiling holes inside
and out after connecting.

1) Connect the power to the internal safety box complying with local electrical
codes. (See Kartwash component chamber drawing KW100)

2) Connect the hot water to the ¾”NPT water connection on the poly tank. (See
Kartwash component chamber drawing KW100)

3) Connect the compressed air to the ¼” air connection. (See Kartwash
component chamber drawing KW100)

4) The exhaust outlet (20”X20”) in the roof of the wash chamber should be
ducted to the outside of the laundry.

5) The inlet (20”X20”) on the utility cabinet roof may be connected to fresh air or
to the clean side of the laundry.

For Kartwashers with built-in sumps in the bottom of the wash chamber
connect the 2” drain (placement specified when ordered) to the main drain of
the laundry per applicable codes.

START UP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn on power at safety switch. In the control panel enclosure manually press

the motor contactor to check direction of the blower motor. If wrong shut off
the power at the safety switch and switch two wires on the bottom of the
contactor. This will change the direction of the blower motor. Do the same
procedure with the pump motor. Both the blower and pump motors are setup
for the proper direction in the factory.

2. Apply compressed air to unit. The clean door should be closed and soil door

should be open. Turn on water to unit and fill reservoir. Make sure ball valve
after pump is in open position. Then prime pump by loosening plug on pump
and pressing motor starter in motor starter box. Load cart in Kartwasher and
press start.
