Safety Information
Precautionary statements (“CAUTION,”
“WARNING,”and “DANGER”), 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, 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

Electrical Installation
Input Voltage Requirements
The washer-extractor is designed for 4-wire, 208-240
Volt, 60 cycle, three-phase service. The control voltage
is 115 Volt.
If a delta supply system is used, the high leg must be
connected to the L3A lead at the J-box.
NOTE: Rotation of the extractor basket should be
clockwise as indicated by the arrow on the lid. To
change direction of extractor rotation, interchange
the L1A and L2A leads.
IMPORTANT: Improper connections will result in
equipment damage and will void the warranty.
Connection Specifications
IMPORTANT: Connection must be made by a
qualified electrician using wiring diagram provided
with machine.
Grounding
For personal safety and proper operation, the machine
must be grounded in accordance with state and local
codes. If such codes are not available, grounding must
conform with National Electric Code, article 250-95.
The ground connection must be to a proven earth
ground at the location service panel and/or to a
grounded metal cold water pipe.
Do not connect the ground to the neutral (white or
blue wire) leg at the J-box. If the machine is intended
for 4-wire service, neutral leg must be provided by
the power company. Do not connect the neutral leg to
the ground wire or green wire.
Use wire size indicated in Electrical Specifications
table for runs up to 50 feet. Use next larger size for
runs of 50 –100 feet. Use TWO sizes larger for runs
greater than 100 feet. This protects against voltage
drop which would result in a reduction of starting
torque.
Phase Adder
If three-phase service is not available and a Roto-
Phase or other phase adder is used, the artificial leg
must be connected to the L3A lead.
WARNING
Turn off power and water before attempting
any maintenance, repairs, or service, or
before opening any service panel or door.

Installation
13
F232113
IMPORTANT: Installation shall conform with local
codes or, in absence of local codes, with the
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1981.
Overloaded or undersized lines, or any low voltage
condition will burn out motors and solenoid
windings.

Drain Connection
Figure 3 shows plumbing for UM machines.
A flexible connection must be made to a vented drain
system to prevent damage to rigid drain pipes. Drain
should be vented to ensure proper flow and prevent
siphoning. If proper drain size is not available or
practical, a surge tank is required. A surge tank along
with a sump pump should be used when gravity
drainage is not possible, such as in below-ground-level
installations.
Refer to General Specifications and Table 2 for drain
information.

Water Connection
Refer to General Specifications for water supply
information.
Rigid pipe connections are not recommended.
Connections should be supplied by a hot and a cold
water line of at least the sizes shown in the Water
Supply Line Sizing table. Installation of additional
machines will require proportionately larger water
lines. Refer to Table 3.
To connect water service to machine with rubber
hoses, use the following procedure:
1. Before installing hoses, flush the water system
for at least two minutes.
2. Check filters in the machine’s inlet hoses for
proper fit and cleanliness before connecting.
3. Hang hoses in a large loop; do not allow them to
kink.
If additional hose lengths are needed, use flexible
hoses with screen filters.
Each hose is connected to a hot or cold water faucet
with a 3/4" hose bib.
Install vacuum breakers and check valves when
required by local codes.
Figure 4
Install a screen filter in each hose to keep rust and
other foreign particles out of the solenoid valves.
Suitable air cushions should be installed in supply
lines to prevent “hammering”(Figure 5). If the water
pressure is above 60 psi, flexible copper tubing should
be used in place of the rubber hoses.
