WARNING!

Be sure to follow all applicable national and local electrical codes when
installing the electrical supply for this system. All field connections must be
liquid tight and readily accessible for inspection after installation without
moving the machine or its accessories. Personal injury, including serious
injury or death, and extensive equipment damage may result when proper
procedures are not followed. Do not attempt to energize this system
unless it is fully assembled with all protective features in place.

Electrical Power Requirements

The electrical power requirements of your new system are shown on the Power
Soak serial number plate located as follows:

• Mobile and free-standing stationary models—On the side of the control
enclosure which is attached to the motor

• Built-in models—On the side of the wash tank

Electrical Wiring Requirements

The wiring required for your system depends on the type of system you have
purchased:

• Mobile 115V units come equipped with a power cord and may be plugged into
any approved outlet rated for the amperage requirement stated on the Power
Soak serial number plate.

• Mobile 208V 1PH and 460V 3PH units must be connected to a wall-mounted
junction box, outlet, or disconnect by a licensed electrician. The wall-mounted
device must be NEMA 4X or IP67 rated and must be supplied by a dedicated
circuit.

• Free-standing stationary units must be connected to a wall-mounted junction box
or disconnect using water-tight flexible conduit by a licensed electrician. The
wall-mounted device must be NEMA 4X or IP67 rated and must be supplied by a
dedicated circuit.

• Built-in units must have their control box brackets mounted to the underside of
the dish table they are installed in. If no acceptable location exists on the
underside of the dish table, the control box may be mounted to the front of the
wash tank. To do this, remove the acorn nuts from the studs on the wash tank,
place the control box against the tank, and replace the acorn nuts. Once
mounted, jacketed cord must be installed between the control box and the motor
junction box and also between the control box and a wall mounted junction box
or disconnect. The wall-mounted device must be NEMA 4X or IP67 rated and
must be supplied by a dedicated circuit. All of these wiring tasks must be
performed by a licensed electrician.

Plumbing Requirements

The plumbing required for your system depends on the type of system you have
purchased:

• Mobile units must have a floor sink nearby that they can be moved to for

emptying waste water. In addition, some mobile units are equipped with
faucets that will require a temperature regulated 1/2 NPT potable water
flexible connection.

• Free-standing stationary units and built-in units must have their drains

permanently connected to the building scullery sewer system. In addition,
these units are equipped with faucets that will require a temperature
regulated 1/2 NPT potable water connection.

Mechanical Installation of Built-in Units

Both the Drop-in and the Weld-in versions of the Power Soak Silverware Pre­washing System are designed to be installed in existing dish tables. Installation of
both types is very similar with the main difference being that the Drop-in version
requires no field welding.

Drop-in Version Installation

Review the drawings that came with the unit to confirm that the location chosen for
the system is adequate with respect to:

• Drain proximity

• Electrical power proximity

• Adequate space on the dish table top for the tank and the faucet

• Appropriate location for the control box bracket

• Absence of ribs or other features on the underside of the selected dish table
