Safe Operating Environment
Safe operation requires an appropriate operating
environment for both the operator and the machine. If
questions regarding safety arise, contact the factory
immediately.
Environmental Conditions
●Ambient Temperature. Water in the machine will
freeze at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or below.
Temperatures above 120°F (50°C) will result in
more frequent motor overheating and, in some
cases, malfunction or premature damage to solid
state devices that are used in some models.
Special cooling devices may be necessary.
Water pressure switches are affected by increases
and decreases in temperature. Every 25°F
(10°C) change in temperature will have a
1% effect on the water level.
●Humidity. Relative humidity above 90% may
cause the machine’s electronics or motors to
malfunction or may trip the ground fault
interrupter. Corrosion problems may occur on
some metal components in the machine.
If the relative humidity is below 30%, belts and
rubber hoses may eventually develop dry rot.
This condition can result in hose leaks, which
may cause safety hazards external to the machine
in conjunction with adjacent electrical
equipment.
●Ventilation. The need for make-up air openings
for such laundry room accessories as dryers,
ironers, or water heaters must be evaluated
periodically. Louvers, screens, or other
separating devices may reduce the available air
opening significantly.
●Radio Frequency Emissions. A filter is available
for machines in installations where floor space is
shared with equipment sensitive to radio
frequency emissions.
●Elevation. If the machine is to be operated at
elevations of over 3280 ft. (1000 m) above sea
level, pay special attention to water levels and
electronic settings (particularly temperature) or
desired results may not be achieved.
NEVER insert hands or objects into
basket until it has completely stopped.
Doing so could result in serious injury.
SW012
WARNING
Never operate the machine with a
bypassed or disconnected balance
system. Operating the machine with
severe out-of-balance loads could result
in personal injury and serious equipment
damage.

●Chemicals. Keep stainless steel surfaces free of
chemical residues.
●Water Damage. Do not spray the machine with
water. Short circuiting and serious damage may
result. Repair immediately all seepage due to
worn or damaged gaskets, etc.
Machine Location
●Foundation. The concrete floor must be of
sufficient strength and thickness to handle the
floor loads generated by the high extract speeds
of the machine.
●Service/Maintenance Space. Provide sufficient
space to allow comfortable performance of
service procedures and routine preventive
maintenance.
This is especially important in connection with
machines equipped with an AC inverter drive.
Consult installation instructions for specific details.
Input and Output Services
●Water Pressure. Best performance will be
realized if water is provided at a pressure of
30 –85 psi (2.0 –5.7 bar). Although the machine
will function properly at lower pressure,
increased fill times will occur. Water pressure
higher than 100 psi (6.7 bar) may result in
damage to machine plumbing. Component
failure(s) and personal injury could result.
●Steam Heat (Optional) Pressure. Best
performance will be realized if steam is provided
at a pressure of 30 –80 psi (2.0 –5.4 bar). Steam
pressure higher than 125 psi (8.5 bar) may result
in damage to steam components and may cause
personal injury.
For machines equipped with optional steam heat,
install piping in accordance with approved
commercial steam practices. Failure to install the
supplied steam filter may void the warranty.
●Compressed Air. For machines requiring
compressed air service, best performance will
be realized if air is provided at a pressure of
80 –100 psi (5.4 –6.7 bar).
●Drainage System. Provide drain lines or troughs
large enough to accommodate the total number of
gallons that could be dumped if all machines on
the site drained at the same time from the highest
attainable level. If troughs are used, they should
be covered to support light foot traffic.
●Power. For personal safety and for proper
operation, the machine must be grounded in
accordance with state and local codes. The
ground connection must be to a proven earth
ground, not to conduit or water pipes. Do not
use fuses in place of the circuit breaker. An easy-
access cutoff switch should also be provided.
Always disconnect power and water supplies before
a service technician performs any service procedure.
Where applicable, steam and/or compressed air
supplies should also be disconnected before service
is performed.
Do not place volatile or flammable fluids
in any machine. Do not clean the machine
with volatile or flammable fluids such as
acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel
reducers, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline,
benzene, naptha, etc. Doing so could
result in serious personal injury and/or
damage to the machine.
SW002
DANGER
Replace all panels that are removed to
perform service and maintenance
procedures. Do not operate the machine
with missing guards or with broken or
missing parts. Do not bypass any safety
devices.
SW019
CAUTION
Ensure that a ground wire from a proven
earth ground is connected to the ground
lug near the input power block on this
machine. Without proper grounding,
personal injury from electric shock could
occur and machine malfunctions may be
evident.

AC Inverter Drive
Machines equipped with the AC inverter drive require
special attention with regard to the operating
environment.
●An especially dusty or linty environment will
require more frequent cleaning of the AC inverter
drive cooling fan filter and of the AC inverter
drive itself.
●Power line fluctuations from sources such as
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can
adversely affect machines equipped with the AC
inverter drive. Proper suppression devices should
be utilized on the incoming power to the machine
to avoid problems.
●A clean power supply free from voltage spikes
and surges is absolutely essential for machines
equipped with the AC inverter drive. Nonlinear
inconsistencies (peaks and valleys) in the power
supply can cause the AC inverter drive to
generate nuisance errors.
If voltage is above 230 Volt for 200 Volt
installations or above 440 Volt for 400 Volt
installations, a buckboost transformer is
recommended. If voltage is above 240 Volt or
480 Volt, a buckboost transformer is required.
●Sufficient space to perform service procedures
and routine preventive maintenance is especially
important for machines equipped with the AC
inverter drive.
Misuse
Never use this machine for any purpose other than
washing fabric.
●Never wash petroleum-soaked rags in the
machine. This could result in an explosion.
●Never wash machine parts or automotive parts in
the machine. This could result in serious damage
to the basket.
●Never allow children to play on or around this
machine. Death or serious injury can result if
children become trapped in the machine. Do not
leave children unattended while the machine door
is open. These cautions apply to animals as well.
