920006-246 Uncrating/Installation Instructions Listing of Safety Precautions
WARNING – CHEMICAL BURN/EYE HAZARD:
Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when using a descaling product. Avoid contact with eyes
or skin. If spilled or splashed, flush with water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Administer
an alkali with plenty of water. Seek medical attention immediately.
Detergents are caustic and can cause adverse effects to exposed tissues. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or attempt
to swallow. Read and follow the precautions and instructions on the detergent label and in the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to handling detergent containers or servicing detergent injection pumps. Wear
appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whenever handling detergents or servicing detergent injection
pumps and lines.
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
When removing adhesives from stainless steel, use a small amount of non-flammable cleaning solvent. Rub in
a back-and-forth motion (in same direction as surface grain). Solvent rubbed in a circular motion or applied with
a wire brush or steel wool on door and chamber assemblies can be harmful to stainless steel. Do not use solvents
on painted surfaces.
When unit is installed on a combustible floor and/or close to a combustible wall, the floor and/or wall must be
covered with a metal sheet extending to the outer edges of the machine.
Before operating equipment, always firmly push the manifolded accessory rack into the manifold connector at the
back of the wash chamber. If rack is not positioned correctly, door will not close, damage may result, and unit
will be unable to effectively wash load.
Always use a silicone lubricant to lubricate squeeze tubes. Petroleum-based lubricants, such as Vaseline or
grease, will cause squeeze tubes to melt.
Do not cut flexible hose (utilities and draining). The whole 105" (2,667 mm) length of the flexible hose is required
when pulling out the unit for service or maintenance purposes.
Do not cut main electric supply cord. The whole 105"(2,667 mm) length of the main supply cord is required when
pulling out the unit for service or maintenance purposes.
On junction box, secure main supply cord with a strain relief to prevent damage to wiring.
Do not pull unit more than 48" (1,220 mm). Flexible hoses and main supply cord could be damaged.
Do not cut printer cable. The whole 105" (2,667 mm) length of the printer cable is required when pulling out the unit
for service or maintenance purposes.
