Verifying System Requirements
Prior to completely removing the Skewer Soak unit from the crate, it is necessary
to verify certain requirements. Remove only the lid of the crate at this time.
Verifying the Configuration
The Skewer 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.
LEFT TO RIGHT UNIT RIGHT TO LEFT UNIT
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.

(ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS CONTINUED)
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.

Removal of Existing Unit
If the new Skewer 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 Skewer Soak. Discard all unwanted materials in an appropriate
container or disposal area.
Wall Preparation
Clean the wall(s) where the new Skewer Soak will be installed. Fill all
existing holes with an appropriate filler material (caulk, silicone, hole plug,
etc…). 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.

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.
