Safety Information
Explanation of Safety Messages
Precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “WARNING”
and “CAUTION”), followed by specific instructions,
are found in this manual and on machine decals. These
precautions are intended for the personal safety of the
operator, user, servicer and those maintaining the
machine.
Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”
and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.
IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used
to inform the reader of specific procedures where
minor machine damage will occur if the procedure
is not followed.
NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate
installation, operation, maintenance or servicing
information that is important but not hazard
related.
Important Safety Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer.
3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using a
washing machine or combination washer-dryer,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas
is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. This is a safety
rule for all appliances.
7. Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is
moving.
DANGER indicates the presence of a
hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage if the danger is ignored.
DANGER
WARNING indicates the presence of a
hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage if the warning is ignored.

CAUTION indicates the presence of a
hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the
caution is ignored.

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
10. Do not tamper with the controls.
11. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that the user understands and has the
skills to carry out.
12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO
NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to
connect the washer to the electrical power
source.
13. Use washer only for its intended purpose,
washing textiles.
14. Never wash machine parts or automotive parts in
the machine. This could result in serious damage
to the basket.
15. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical
supply before attempting any service. Disconnect
the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
16. Install the washer according to the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All
connections for water, drain, electrical power and
grounding must comply with local codes and be
made by licensed personnel when required.
17. To reduce the risk of fire, textiles which have
traces of any flammable substances such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,
flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything
containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and
cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer.
These flammable substances may cause the
fabric to catch on fire by itself.
18. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
19. Keep washer in good condition. Bumping or
dropping the washer can damage safety features.
If this occurs, have washer checked by a
qualified service person.
20. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cord or assembly, available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
21. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve
and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE
the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.
22. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the
washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT
bypass the loading door switch by permitting the
washer to operate with the loading door open.
23. Always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning
aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce
the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep
them out of the reach of children at all times
(preferably in a locked cabinet).
24. Always follow the fabric care instructions
supplied by the textile manufacturer.
25. Never operate the washer with any guards
and/or panels removed.
26. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or
broken parts.
27. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.
28. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this
washer according to the manufacturer’s
instructions may result in conditions which can
produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this
manual are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. Common
sense, caution and care must be exercised when
installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.
Any problems or conditions not understood should be

c. For flat-pulley drive systems, verify allowable
distance of belt from edge of pulley. Refer to
Table 1 below.
d. For F and variable-speed models only,
verify that V-belts are properly tensioned by
applying a set force to the belts and measuring
the deflection to determine the belt tension.
Refer to Table 2 for the acceptable belt’s
tension ranges. Belt tension measurements
should be taken as close to the center of the
belt span as possible. Refer to Figure 8.
Figure 8
2. For 80 and 125 pound capacity models only,
lubricate bearings and seals each month OR after
every 200 hours of operation.
a. Use a premium-grade lithium-based #2
grease. Never mix two types of grease, such
as petroleum and silicone.
b. Pump the grease gun slowly, permitting only
the following number of strokes:
•Bearing grease fitting, 2 strokes
•Seal grease fitting, 2 stroke
NOTE: Do not pump the grease gun until grease
comes out of the bearing housing. This can result in
overlubrication, causing damage to bearings and
seals.
3. Remove back panel and check overflow hose and
drain hose for leaks.
4. Unlock and remove the top cover and check the
supply dispenser hoses and hose connections.
5. Clean inlet hose filter screens:
a. Turn water off and allow valve to cool, if
necessary.
b. Unscrew inlet hose and remove filter screen.

Care of Stainless Steel
•Remove dirt and grease with detergent and water.
Thoroughly rinse and dry after washing.
•Avoid contact with dissimilar metals to prevent
galvanic corrosion when salty or acidic solutions
are present.
•Do not allow salty or acidic solutions to
evaporate and dry on stainless steel. Wipe clean
of any residues.
•Rub in the direction of the polish lines or “grain”
of the stainless steel to avoid scratch marks when
using abrasive cleaners. Use stainless steel wool
or soft, non-metal bristle brushes. Do not use
ordinary steel wool or steel brushes.
•If the stainless steel appears to be rusting, the
source of the rust may be an iron or steel part not
made of stainless steel, such as a nail or screw.
Tip: Paint all carbon steel parts with a heavy
protective coating. Stainless steel fasteners
should be used whenever possible.
•Remove discoloration or heat tint from
overheating by scouring with a powder or by
employing special chemical solutions.
•Do not leave sterilizing solutions on stainless
steel equipment for prolonged periods of time.
•When an external chemical supply is used,
ensure no siphoning of chemicals occurs when
the washer-extractor is not in use. Highly
concentrated chemicals can cause severe damage
to stainless steel and other components within the
machine. Damage of this kind is not covered by
the manufacturer’s warranty. Locate the pump
and tubing below the washer-extractor’s injection
point to prevent siphoning of chemicals into the
machine.
