IMPORTANT

Verifying System Requirements

Prior to completely removing the Power Soak unit from the crate, it is necessary
to verify certain requirements. Remove only the lid of the crate at this time.

Verifying System Direction

The Power Soak can be built as a
“Left to Right” or as a “Right to Left”
configuration with a variety of
options. Look inside the crate and
verify that the configuration of the
machine matches the specifications
of the order description.

Verifying the Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements for the machine are on
the machine identification tag located on the side
of the wash tank, next to the motor. The electrical
service in the facility where the machine is to be
installed must be rated for the capacity shown on
the identification tag. This machine will require a
permanently mounted disconnect that is in a
“liquid tight” enclosure. Do not use an in-line plug
for disconnecting the machine from the electrical
source. Contact a licensed and certified
electrician to make the enclosure installation if one
is not present. Use the tables in the appendix to
determine the appropriate breaker (overcurrent
protection) and wire size for the machine’s
electrical service.

WARNING: DO NOT connect the machine using a power cord and
plug or an extension cord of any kind.

WARNING: Kitchens are a wet environment which require all
electrical connections to be “liquid tight”.

Electrical installation must conform to all applicable local wiring codes.
All electrical connections must be “liquid tight” and readily accessible
for inspection after installation without moving the Power Soak
machine or any of its accessories.

2

Removal of Existing Unit

If the new Power Soak is not replacing an existing sink, skip this section. If
the removal of an existing sink is necessary, continue with this section.

Existing Supply Lines

The water and electrical source must be shut off before disconnecting or
cutting the water or electric lines.

WARNING

Failure to shut off the electrical and water supply will result in personal injury,
including serious injury or death, and extensive equipment damage.

Disconnect any electrical cord that is connected to the existing sink. Cut
the cold and hot water lines as closely as possible to the fittings on the
existing sink.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to leave enough of the existing piping for the installation of new shutoff
valves. See “Pre-Plumbing” section for reference.

Existing Sink Removal

Detach any fasteners holding the existing sink in place and remove the
existing sink along with any shelves that may interfere with the installation
of the Power Soak. Discard all unwanted materials in an appropriate
container or disposal area.

Wall Preparation

Clean the wall(s) where the new Power Soak will be installed. Fill all
existing holes with an appropriate filler material. Be sure that any outlet
that will be covered by the sink has been disconnected and a water tight
cover has been installed over the opening.

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT

Pre-Plumbing

Supply and Waste Lines

The supply and waste lines must meet the following requirements:

• Hot and cold water supply must be ½” diameter or larger.

• Center lines of the hot and cold water supply must be 10” or less above

the floor to access the shutoff valves when the machine is installed.

• Waist drain must be 1-1/2” minimum diameter.

• Center line of the waste drain must be 11” or less above the floor to

allow the sink to drain properly.

Install new shutoff valves on the hot and cold water supply lines.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL MACHINES BE INSTALLED USING

NEW ½” OR LARGER BALL-VALVE SHUT OFF VALVES.

Grease Trap

It may be necessary to relocate and/or replace the existing grease trap. Be
sure that the grease trap meets or exceeds the local plumbing codes.

WASTE PLUMBING MUST CONFORM TO LOCAL BUILDING CODES.

Uncrating

Remove From Crate

Remove the Power Soak from the shipping crate. Sharp staples and nails
are used to crate the machine and care must be taken in handling boards
and cardboard to keep from creating a puncture or injury to people or the
equipment. Discard the crating materials in an appropriate disposal area
or container.

Inspect the sink and packages to be certain that there was no damage
created by the shipping company. If there are signs of shipping damage,
contact the shipping company before proceeding.

Remove the packages from the Power Soak tank and locate the box
labeled “OPEN FIRST”. This box will contain the fasteners and sealant
that will be required for assembly of the Power Soak.

Component Installation

IMPORTANT

Lay the sink on its back to allow access to the bottom of the tanks. Be
careful to not let the sink assembly drop on the floor with an impact that
would damage the sink assembly or the floor. It may be necessary to
place some cardboard or tarp on the floor to protect the finish.

Do not bend the edge of
the backsplash when
laying the sink on its back
side.

DRAIN WITH BUILT-IN
VALVE IS INSTALLED
IN THE BOTTOM OF

The sink must be accessible from its top side and its bottom side in order
to install the accessories. Be aware that the backsplash is unsupported at
this time and can be bent out of shape by trying to support the entire
weight of the sink on the edge of the backsplash.

THE TANK

Install Sink Drains

There are three sink drains in the Power Soak that must be installed. The
drain with a valve built into the body is installed in the bottom of the tank
and oriented with the drain valve handle toward the front of the sink. Each
drain flange must be sealed to its mating surface in the sink.

7

IMPORTANT

Apply a generous bead of a drain sealant around the lip of the drain body.

DRAIN BODY

THE RIM OF THE DRAIN MUST

SEAT ON THE SURFACE OF THE

SEALANT

The drains with built-in valves will be oriented with the handle connection
toward the front of the sink. From inside the sink, insert the drain through
the drain hole and seat the flange against the sheet metal surface of the
tank. Be sure that the sealant compresses to where the rim of the drain
actually touches the sheet metal surface of the sink. If the drain does not
touch the sink it will work loose and leak as the sealant compresses over
time.

From the outside of the tank place the rubber vibration ring over the
threaded body of the drain followed by the Teflon ring and then the drain
nut. Tighten the nut “hand tight” until the handle is installed.

Install Legs

The Power Soak is usually shipped without the leg assembly attached to
the machine. Different options have different types of leg assemblies.
Some leg assemblies are all welded together and others are pieces that
need to be assembled. If the leg set is welded together, skip to the section
labeled “Leg Set and Sink”.

Leg Set Assembly

Locate the two leg end weldments and stretcher. The stretcher is the
horizontal tube that connects between the legs to provide lateral stability to
the legs. The long stretcher will be installed between the back legs of the
wash tank.

JBZ Joint Installation

If the unit is shipped in one piece, skip this section. If the unit is shipped as
two separate pieces, continue with this section.

Test Fit

Dry fit the two sections of the sink together to be sure that the joint has not
been damaged in shipping. The lip of the rinse tank will slide over the
edge of the wash tank.

Check the alignment and fit of the two sections. It may be necessary to
adjust the leveling feet to achieve a correct fit. Ensure that all the feet are
adjusted to firmly contact the floor.

Separate the two sections in order to apply sealant to the joint.

Mating and Sealing the Joint

Apply the grey-colored NSF approved sealant (supplied with the unit) to
the underside of the JBZ lip and all interior surfaces of the wash tank trim
plate.

Final Installation Steps

Machine Placement

Position the Power Soak so that the back splash rests against the wall and
is placed according to the floor plan or customer’s selected location.
Examine the drain and water supply lines to determine that the plumbing
can be completed when the Power Soak is in the final location. Verify that
the plumbing from the faucet can be reached with the sink against the wall.

Downturned-Backsplash Z-Clip Installation

If the Power Soak® system has an upturned backsplash, skip this step.

If the Power Soak® system has a backsplash that is downturned, attach the
provided Z-Clips to the wall using the following procedure. Using a level,
adjust the feet on the Power Soak until the front rim and the rear rim of the
sink are level. The sink must also be level front to back. Measure from the
floor to the top edge of the backsplash, and then move the sink away from
the wall. Locate Z-Clips by marking a level line on the wall approximately
1/16" to 3/32" below the height of the backsplash top edge. Locate the wall
studs and mark the locations. Align top edge of Z-Clip(s) to the marked
line and securely fasten the Z-Clips to the wall, using fasteners provided.
Install screws directly to the walls' studs whenever possible. The Z-Clips
should be space as evenly as possible. Move the sink to the wall and lift
the back edge over the Z-Clips.

Upturned-Backsplash Level Attach to the Wall

If the Power Soak® system has a downturned backsplash, skip this step.

Using a level, adjust the feet on the Power Soak until the front rim and the
rear rim of the sink are level. The sink must also be level front to back.
Locate the wall studs and mark their location on the top edge of the back
splash. Measure down ¾” from the top of the backsplash and then drill ¼”
diameter holes through the back splash in line with the center of the studs.
Use the #10 stainless steel screws (included with the Power Soak) to
attach the Power soak directly to the wall.

The Power Soak sink assembly must be level from side to side and

front to rear with all the feet making firm contact with the floor.

18

Seal around the Backsplash and Screws

IMPORTANT

Examine the installation to see that the wall and backsplash are clean and
free of dust and oils. Seal the top and sides of the backsplash to the wall
using the clear NSF approved sealant provided with the Power Soak. Seal
around the screw heads to be sure they do not allow water to leak behind
the backsplash. Wipe off all excess sealant leaving a smooth, clean and
sanitary bead of sealant on all the edges.

Rinse Riser and Anchor Installation

Follow the faucet manufacturer’s directions on the assembly of the faucet
and riser. Anchor the riser supports to the wall using the flange plate
provided with the riser assembly. It may be necessary to cut the support
rods to a shorter length in order to fit between the wall and the riser.

Cut the riser support rods
to the proper length and
attach flanges to the wall

IMPORTANT

Electrical Connections

The final electrical connections between the Power Soak and the electrical
supply must be made by a licensed electrician. The Power Soak has
several options for motors and heater. Review the information tag for
determining the specific requirements of the machine being installed (see
Verify the Electric Requirements section of this instruction booklet).

Checking the Motor Rotation (“JOG” Feature)

The motor must rotate in the correct direction in order for the Power Soak
to function properly. An arrow indicating the direction of rotation is located
on the pump housing. The control unit has a feature that allows the motor
to be “jogged” for checking the rotation even if the wash tank is empty.
Press and hold the green START button for 5 to 10 seconds and watch the
fan blades inside the motor fan cover. After holding the start button for the
5 to 10 second delay, the motor will start for a few rotations and
automatically stop if the wash tank is empty. If the wash tank is full of
water the motor will continue to run even if the direction of rotation is not
correct. When the wash tank is full, the red STOP button must be pressed
to stop the motor. Running the motor in the wrong direction does not
damage the motor or pump, but the pump will not circulate water in the
wash tank correctly.
