ÈABOUT THIS MANUAL
ËScope—This instruction manual is intended to provide preventive maintenance, service procedures, an d
mechanical parts identification for your machine. See the safety manual for safety instructions before installing,
servicing, or operating this machine. See the installation guide for facility requirements, installation instructions,
and assembly instructions. See the operator guide for operator instructions. See the reference manual for programming, operating, and troubleshooting instructions. See the schematic manual for electrical parts identification and
electrical troubleshooting.
ËManual Number/Date Code (When To Discard or Save)—The manual number/date code is lo-
cated 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 MAT-
MODELAE/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.
ËDocuments 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 section MSOP0599AE/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.

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.
[Document BIUUUS04]
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

About the Forces Transmitted by Milnor
Washer-extractors
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
and size upon request. Floor or foundation sizes shown on any Milnor
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.

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
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); oth erwise, the m enti oned 360º ro ta ting sinuso ida l 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.

Avoiding Damage From Allied Remote Chemical Delivery
Systems
Milnor® does not manufacture or supply remote chemical delivery systems and this document is
meant only to illustrate some of the possible problems that can be minimized during installation
of such systems by the chemical supply company. Milnor washer-extractors and CBW
washers (tunnels) are available with convenient inlets for such systems (see Figure 1). Most
common of the types of systems currently used in commercial laundering operations are pumped
chemical systems. Other types, such as constant pressure, re-circulating ring main systems have
also been, and may continue to be used with Milnor equipment.
This document warns about some of the possible hazards posed by chemical systems and lists
certain requirements needed to minimize those hazards. The procedures for interfacing with allied
chemical systems and information pertinent to chemical use in general are provided elsewhere in
the product manuals (see Note 1).

How a Chemical System Can Damage the Machine It Serves
Misuse of laundering chemicals (such as injecting excessive concentrations of chlorine bl each or
Milnor has manufactured washer-extractors and tunnel washers with the same stainless steel
specification since its founding. Every batch of steel used is certified and documented by the steel
mill. Testing of samples damaged by corrosion have, in every case, proven the steel to be well
within the AISI 304 specification.
PELLERIN MILNOR CORPORATION
Avoiding Damage From Allied Remote Chemical Delivery Systems
Chemical products commonly found in the laundry industry, when used in established dosages
and proper operating parameters, under the auspices of an experienced chemical specialist, should
produce satisfactory results, with no consequential detrimental effects. The industry has published
standards in Riggs and Sherrill, “Textile Laundering Technology”. However, the stainless steel
can be damaged and even destroyed by abnormal contact with chlorine bleach, hydrofluosilicic
acid and other commonly used chemicals, as will occur if chemicals are unintentionally leaked
into the machine, particularly when it is no longer in use and especially when machine surfaces
are dry.
Some chemical systems have been found to permit chemicals to dribble from the supply lines, or
worse, to siphon from the supply tank into the machine, during operation and long after the
system is shut down—as after working hours and during weekends. If this occurs, deterioration
(rusting) of the stainless steel and damage to any textiles therein will inevitably result. If this
condition goes undetected, machine damage is likely to be catastrophic. No machine is
immune to such damage.
CAUTION 1 : Equipment and Textile Damage Hazards
—Chemicals leaked into the
machine, particularly when it is idle can destroy machine components and textiles left in the
machine. Pellerin Milnor Corporation accepts absolutely no responsibility for damage to its
equipment or to textiles therein from abnormal contact with chemicals.
• Ensure that the chemical system prevents uninten ti ona l rele ase of chemicals.
• Inspect regularly for proper operation and evidence of damage.

Requirements for Chemical Systems Used With Milnor Machines
It is the responsibility of the chemical system manufacturer and supplier to ensure that their
system is safe for personnel and equipment. Some important points are described below.
2.1.
Ensure the System Cannot Siphon.
—The supply system must be designed to
counteract any siphoning that could occur as a result of having a sealed supply line between the
bottom of the chemical tank and the internal machine connection at the drain trough. As shown in
the Figure 2 examples, if the pump (P) and/or the valving does not provide positive closure and
there is no vacuum breaker protection, siphoning is likely to occur. In each of the Figure 2
illustrations, the volume of chem ical in the tank above th e siphon level (S), and indi ca ted by
shading, will flow into the machine.

2.2.
Ensure the Chemical Lines Cannot Dribble
provide a means of positively closing the chemical line at the pump location, but not at the
injection site. Hence, any concentrated chemical that remains in the injection line between the
pump and the machine is free to flow into the machine. Some examples of this are shown in
Figure 3.

Design and Installation Recommendations
It is the responsibility of the chemical system manufacturer and supplier to use whatever
measures are necessary to ensure that their system is safe for personnel and equipment. The
following are some of the possible methods the manufacturer or supplier may wish to use, as
appropriate.
3.1.
Siphoning: Positively close the line.
—If the pump does not provide positive closure
when the system is off, employ a shutoff valve in the line to serve this purpose.
3.2.
Siphoning: Break the siphon.
—Provide an air gap or vacuum breaker in the chemical
delivery line. This must be located above the “full” line of the tank.
3.3.
Dribbling: Flush the entire chemical delivery line.
—If any concentrated chemical
that remains in the injection line between the pump and the machine is free to flow into the
machine, employ a system that flushes the entire line between the pump and the injection point
with fresh water after each injection.

3.4.
Dribbling: Locate the entire chemical line below the machine inlet.
—
Assuming the chemical system does not retain any line pressure and that the pump provides
positive closure when the system is off, locate the entire chemical delivery line below the level of
the chemical inlet. An example of this is shown in Figure 4.

Guarding Against Leaks
All personnel who may work with the chemical system (e.g., chemical system manufacturer,
chemical system supplier, chemical supplier, operator, maintenance personnel) should be vigilant
in observing for leaks in the system. When connecting, or reconnecting chemical lines, whether at
installation, after taking samples, or when replacing components, at a minimum ensure that:
1. the proper components are used,
2. all connections are the proper fit, and
3. all components are securely connected.
CAUTION 2 : Injury and Damage Hazards
may be corrosive or toxic. Such chemicals can injure personnel and damage equipment.
• Use care when connecting chemical lines.
• Inspect regularly for leaks.

ÈLUBRICATION AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
FOR HYDRO-CUSHION® MACHINES
ÊGeneral Requirements
Maintenance procedures require:
• A hand operated grease gun.
• The correct lubricants (see “LUBRICANTS FOR MILNOR MACHINES,” in the Table of Contents).
ÊLubricant Requirements
To achieve the optimum performance and service life from the Milnor® machine and as a warranty require-
ment, the machine must be lubricated in strict accordance with the instructions in this section.
ENTANGLE AND CRUSH HAZARD—Belts and pulleys can entangle and crush
body parts.
☞ Lock OFF and tag out power at the wall disconnect before servicing, except
where specifical ly in structed otherwise in this sect ion.
☞ Insure belt and pulley guards are in place during service procedures.
☞ Permit only qualified maintenance personnel to perform these procedures.
CRUSH/SEVER HAZARD—Tilting mechanism can crush or sever parts of your
body caught in them.
☞ Install the safety stands before performing maintenance under a tilted ma-
chine.
☞ NEVER test or operate (manually or automatically) any machine function
with any portion of a person’s body under the tilted machine—even if the
safety stands are ins tal led.
