money security interest in each piece of Equipment.
Until title or license has passed to Purchaser and full
and final payment has been received by Manufacturer,
Purchaser shall not cause nor permit any piece of the
Equipment to be sold, leased, or subject to a lien or
other encumbrance other than Manufacturer’s security
interest;
b) In the event of default or breach of any of the Terms
and Conditions of the contract, Manufacturer may, at
its option, repossess the Equipment and all additions
thereto, wherever found, free from all claims
whatsoever;
c) Any risk of loss during shipment shall be borne by
Purchaser and any loss or damage to the Equipment
during shipment shall not relieve Purchaser of its
obligations hereunder, including but not limited to
making full and final payment to Manufacturer.
The Equipment, or any part thereof, shall not be
considered a fixture or be incorporated into realty by
reason of its attachment thereto, and may be
separated from realty, as well as personality, for the
purpose of repossession. Manufacturer shall not be
liable to Purchaser, nor shall Manufacturer be subject
to any legal proceedings, criminal or civil, for
Manufacturer's acts in such repossession, nor for the
repayment of any money paid before such
repossession as part payment for the Equipment,
which shall be retained by Manufacturer as or on
account of liquidating damages.

Selecting a Location
When selecting the location to install your Alvey KS-
70 Rack washer, review the dimension sheets and
consider access to the utility requirements.
Determine the minimum distance from outside wall or
roof to optimize ventilation. Ensure there is ample
floor space for maintenance and for storage of
cleaned and soiled work. Finally, confirm whether
the machine is pit or floor mounted. If pit mounted,
ensure that the pit for the tank has been constructed.
If floor mounted, confirm that there is sufficient space
for the machine loading ramp.
Receiving the Machine
The machine will be received disassembled. The
wash chamber and attached equipment have been
removed from the tank in preparation for shipment.
Panel flanges and tank is match marked before
disassembly of wash chamber. Wiring is
disconnected at junction boxes with leads marked;
piping is disconnected at unions. Solenoid coils are
slipped off valves and remain attached to conduit
assemblies. Mounting hardware is left attached to
studs on cabinet panels. An assembly kit contains an
adequate length of sealing strip, tubes of silicone
caulk, and sufficient hardware to secure chamber
panels.
Examine equipment for agreement with packing slip
and dimension sheet. Notify factory immediately
concerning any shortages or shipping damage.

Interior Piping
1. Attach interior rinse piping to rinse manifolds at
unions and extend threaded nipple through
chamber wall. Secure with pipe nuts and rubber
and metal washers. Bolt rinse manifold brackets
to chamber panel flanges.
2. Screw vertical wash pipes tightly into wash
manifold and then bolt spray elbows to wash
pipes and chamber flanges.
3. Install wash arms assemblies and align with
chamber wall to avoid interference with rinse
manifolds and guard rails. Be sure all pipe joints
are tight.
4. Install guard rails and verify that they do not
interfere with wash arms.
Control Panel
Install control panel and conduit assemblies and
attach related wiring.
1. Attach control panel and conduit assemblies to
housing with studs and nuts provided. Connect
wires at appropriate locations on terminal strip.
See wiring diagram.
2. Attach proximity switch 1PROX to bracket by
door and associated magnet and bracket to studs
provided on door. With pass through option,
repeat with second door.
3. Connect flexible conduit to motor (leads IT1, IT2,
IT3) and to gas burner (leads 14, 16, 17, 2) (Gas
heated tank only.)
4. Attach flexible conduit from float switches to
fittings on conduit assembly; connect tagged
wires (3, 12). Only washers with electric and gas
tank heat have a low-level float. Only washers
with automatic water fill have a high level float.
5. Assemble STEAM HEAT solenoid coil (2, 15)
onto steam solenoid valve. (Steam heated tank
only.)

Daily Start-Up
1. Turn on power at customer-provided Disconnect Switch. Electric or gas
booster will be connected to a disconnect separate from washer
2. Turn on washer’s Main Power Switch. The white “Power On” indicator will
light.
3. Ensure that the drain valve is in the closed position.
4. Close door to begin automatically filling the tank. The unit will stop filling
the tank when the proper level is reached.
5. Turn on the Wash Heat Switch to activate the steam heat coil in the wash
tank.
Note: When washer is connected to central exhaust
system, means must be provided to prevent the
exhaust of moist air during the operation of the washer.
Sequence of Operation
1. Set the wash temperature controller, located on the front of the main control
panel, to 160°F / 71.1°C (See temperature controller manual for setting
instructions).
2. When the temperature for the wash tank reaches the 160°F/71.1°C set
point, the washer door can be opened and the racks can be loaded.

Detergent
When the solution reaches operating temperature, add the proper amount of
cleaning compound at the rate recommended by your chemical supplier. If the
detergent is in a powder form, pour the powder in the filter baskets, then close
the door and run the pump until all compounds have been dissolved. If the
compound has been broken up or partially dissolved, this operation will go
faster.
Notes: Use of an automatic detergent dispenser is
recommended. To insure economical use of the
compounds, be sure that the sensing probes are kept
clean of any foreign matter. Consult your cleaning
compound supplier for recommendations. To obtain
satisfactory cleaning, we cannot stress enough the
importance of the proper detergent. The temperature
controller is located in the control panel.
