ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Scope—This instruction manual is intended to provide facility requirements and machine installation procedures for all Milnor 36021, 36026, 42026 and 42030 model rigid mount washer-extractors. See the safety manual for safety instructions before installing, servicing, or operating this machine. See the service manual for preventive maintenance, service procedures, and mechanical parts identification. See the operator guide for operator instructions. See the reference manual for programming, operating, and troubleshooting instructions.
Manual Number/Date Code (When To Discard or Save)—The manual number/date code is located on the inside front cover, upper right corner just above the manual name. Whenever the manual is reprinted with new information, part of this number changes. If the date code after the “/” changes, the new version applies to all machines covered by the old version, but is improved— thus the old version can be discarded. If the manual number before the “/” changes, the new manual covers only new machines. Example: Discard
MATMODELAE/8739CV when MATMODELAE/8739DV is received (minor improvements). Also, discard MATMODELAE/8739DV when MATMODELAE/8746AV is received (major
improvements). But keep MATMODELAE/8746FV when MATMODELBE/8815AV is received, since the new manual no longer applies to machines originally shipped with the old manual.
Documents and Change Bars—The individual documents comprising this manual use the same revision criteria as the manual. Text documents also display change bars. Example: When
sectionMSOP0599AE/9135BV becomes MSOP0599AE/9135CV, change bars with the letter “C” appear next to all changes for this revision. For a major rewrite (e.g.,
MSOP0599AE/9226AV), all change bars are deleted.

1. General Safety Requirements—Vital Information for Management Personnel [Document BIUUUS04]
Incorrect installation, neglected preventive maintenance, abuse, and/or improper repairs, or changes to the machine can cause unsafe operation and personal injuries, such as multiple fractures, amputations, or death. The owner or his selected representative (owner/user) is responsible for understanding and ensuring the proper operation and maintenance of the machine. The owner/user must familiarize himself with the contents of all machine instruction manuals. The owner/user should direct any questions about these instructions to a Milnor® dealer or the Milnor® Service department.
Most regulatory authorities (including OSHA in the USA and CE in Europe) hold the owner/user ultimately responsible for maintaining a safe working environment. Therefore, the owner/user must do or ensure the following:
•recognize all foreseeable safety hazards within his facility and take actions to protect his personnel, equipment, and facility;
•work equipment is suitable, properly adapted, can be used without risks to health or safety, and is adequately maintained;
•where specific hazards are likely to be involved, access to the equipment is restricted to those employees given the task of using it;
•only specifically designated workers carry out repairs, modifications, maintenance, or servicing;
•information, instruction, and training is provided;
•workers and/or their representatives are consulted.
Work equipment must comply with the requirements listed below. The owner/user must verify that installation and maintenance of equipment is performed in such a way as to support these requirements:
•control devices must be visible, identifiable, and marked; be located outside dangerous zones; and not give rise to a hazard due to unintentional operation;
•control systems must be safe and breakdown/damage must not result in danger;
•work equipment is to be stabilized;
•protection against rupture or disintegration of work equipment;
•guarding, to prevent access to danger zones or to stop movements of dangerous parts before the danger zones are reached. Guards to be robust; not give rise to any additional hazards; not be easily removed or rendered inoperative; situated at a sufficient distance from the danger zone; not restrict view of operating cycle; allow fitting, replacing, or maintenance by restricting access to relevant area and without removal of guard/protection device;
•suitable lighting for working and maintenance areas;
•maintenance to be possible when work equipment is shut down. If not possible, then protection measures to be carried out outside danger zones;
•work equipment must be appropriate for preventing the risk of fire or overheating; discharges of gas, dust, liquid, vapor, other substances; explosion of the equipment or substances in it.

During washing and extracting, all washer-extractors transmit both static and dynamic (cyclic) forces to the floor, foundation, or any other supporting structure. During washing, the impact of the goods as they drop imparts forces which are quite difficult to quantify. Size for size, both rigid and flexibly-mounted machines transmit approximately the same forces during washing. During extracting, rigid machines transmit forces up to 30 times greater than equivalent flexibly-mounted models. The actual magnitude of these forces vary according to several factors:
•machine size,
•final extraction speed,
•amount, condition, and type of goods being processed,
•the liquor level and chemical conditions in the bath preceding extraction, and
•other miscellaneous factors.
Estimates of the maximum force normally encountered are available for each Milnor® model and size upon request. Floor or foundation sizes shown on any Milnor® document are only for on-grade situations based only on previous experience without implying any warranty, obligation, or responsibility on our part.
1. Rigid Machines
Size for size, rigid washer-extractors naturally require a stronger, more rigid floor, foundation, or other supporting structure than flexibly-mounted models. If the supporting soil under the slab is itself strong and rigid enough and has not subsided to leave the floor slab suspended without support, on grade installations can often be made directly to an existing floor slab if it has enough strength and rigidity to safely withstand our published forces without transmitting undue vibration. If the subsoil has subsided, or if the floor slab itself has insufficient strength and rigidity, a deeper foundation, poured as to become monolithic with the floor slab, may be required. Support pilings may even be required if the subsoil itself is “springy” (i.e., if its resonant frequency is near the operating speed of the machine). Above-grade installations of rigid machines also require a sufficiently strong and rigid floor or other supporting structure as described below.
2. Flexibly-mounted Machines
Size for size, flexibly-mounted machines generally do not require as strong a floor, foundation, or other supporting structure as do rigid machines. However, a floor or other supporting structure having sufficient strength and rigidity, as described in section 3, is nonetheless vitally important for these models as well.
3. How Strong and Rigid?
Many building codes in the U.S.A. specify that laundry floors must have a minimum live load capacity of 150 pounds per square foot (732 kilograms per square meter). However, even compliance with this or any other standard does not necessarily guarantee sufficient rigidity. In any event, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/user to assure that the floor and/or any other supporting structure exceeds not only all applicable building codes, but also that the floor and/or any other supporting structure for each washer-extractor or group of washer-extractors actually
10
has sufficient strength and rigidity, plus a reasonable factor of safety for both, to support the weight of all the fully loaded machine(s) including the weight of the water and goods, and including the published 360º rotating sinusoidal RMS forces that are transmitted by the machine(s). Moreover, the floor, foundation, or other supporting structure must have sufficient rigidity (i.e., a natural or resonant frequency many times greater than the machine speed with a reasonable factor of safety); otherwise, the mentioned 360º rotating sinusoidal RMS forces can be multiplied and magnified many times. It is especially important to consider all potential vibration problems that might occur due to all possible combinations of forcing frequencies (rotating speeds) of the machine(s) compared to the natural frequencies of the floor and/or any other supporting structure(s). A qualified soil and/or structural engineer must be engaged for this purpose.

Figure 1 above is intended to depict both on-grade and above-grade installations and is equally applicable to flexibly-mounted washer-extractors, as well as to rigid models installed either directly on a floor slab or on a foundation poured integrally with the slab. Current machine data is available from Milnor® upon request. All data is subject to change without notice and may have changed since last printed. It is the sole responsibility of every potential owner to obtain written confirmation that any data furnished by Milnor® applies for the model(s) and serial number(s) of the specific machines.
