IMPORTANT: The door lock should be checked daily to ensure proper operation. Also check that all safety
and instruction stickers are on the machine. Any missing or illegible safety and/or instruction stickers should
be replaced immediately.
Beginning of the Day
1. Inspect the water inlet valve hose connections on the back of the
machine and at the faucets for leaks.
2. Inspect the steam hose connections for leaks (where applicable).
3. Verify that the insulation is intact on all external wires and that
all connections are secure. If bare wire is evident, call a service
technician.
4. Check the door interlock before starting operation:
a. Attempt to start the machine with the door open. The
machine should not start with the door open.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, serious injury
or death, disconnect the electrical power to the
washer-extractor before examining the wiring.

3. Clean the automatic supply dispenser lid and general area with
mild detergent. Rinse the dispenser with clean water.
4. Clean the machine’s top, front and side panels with mild
detergent. Thoroughly rinse and dry all surfaces after cleaning
them.
5. Leave the loading door open at the end of each day to allow
moisture to evaporate.
NOTE: Unload the machine promptly after each completed
cycle to prevent moisture buildup. Leave the loading door open
after each completed cycle to allow moisture to evaporate.
6. If the washer-extractor is equipped with a premium Wet Clean
module, clean the water recirculation filter, which is located

Weekly
1. Check the washer-extractor for leaks:
a. Start an unloaded cycle to fill the washer-extractor.
b. Verify that the door and door gasket do not leak.
c. Verify that the drain valve is operating and that the drain
system is free from obstruction. If water does not leak out
during the pre-wash segment, the drain valve is closed and
functioning properly.

Monthly
NOTE: Disconnect power to the machine at its source before performing the monthly maintenance
procedures.
1. Each month or after every 200 hours of operation, lubricate the
bearings. Locate the bearing lubrication decal on the rear, right
of the washer-extractor.
a. The lubricant must have the following characteristics:
- NLGI Grade 2 - Water-insoluble - Anti-oxidizing
- Lithium-based - Anti-rusting - Mechanically stable
The lubricant must have adequate base oil viscosity with one
of the following ratings:
- ISO VG150 (135-165 CST at 40°C or 709-871 SUS at
100°F
- ISO VG 220 (198-242 CST at 40°C or 1047-1283 SUS at
100°F
- An SAE 40 rating is also acceptable as long as the CST or
SUS values are within the specified ranges
b. Pump the grease gun slowly, permitting only 2 strokes.
2. Use the following procedures to determine if the V-belt(s)
require replacement or adjustment. Call a qualified service
technician in either case.
a. Check the V-belt(s) for uneven wear and frayed edges.
b. After disconnecting power to the washer-extractor and
removing all panels necessary for access to the drive belt, use
one of the following methods to verify that the v-belts are
properly tensioned.
•Tension Gauge. Loosen the motor mounting bolts and slide
the motor along the motor plate to change the span length.
UWPV belt tension should be between 70 and 90 pounds
(± 5 pounds). Set the initial tension toward the high end of
this range.

•Deflection. Loosen the motor mounting bolts and slide the
motor along the motor plate to change the belt span length.
Belt tension measurements should be taken as close to the
center of the belt span as possible. For every inch of span
length, the belt should deflect 1/64 inch (0.40mm). For
example, a belt with a span length of 50 inches should deflect
50/64 inches (19.84mm). An initial (run-in) force of 5.25
pounds should be used to set the belt tension. An operating
(normal) force of 3.5 pounds should be used after the
washer-extractor has operated for a few hours.
c. Verify that the V-belts are properly aligned by checking the
pulley alignment. Place a straightedge across both pulley
faces. The straightedge should make contact with the pulleys
in four places.
3. Remove the back panel and check the overflow hose and drain
hose for leaks.
4. Unlock the hinged lid and check the supply dispenser hoses and
hose connections.
