1. Environmental
information
Environmental information
Concerned by providing the end user with useful and necessary environmental information, we
wish to precise :
Data about energetic consumptions, wastes (atmospheric and liquid) and sound level are
indicated in the paragraph "Technical characteristics".
The running of this machine requires the use of detergents which draining in the nature can
have a significant environmental impact. So, we do recommend to only use, with agreement of the
manufacturers, the quantities of detergents strictly necessary.
Forseeing its recycling, this machine is fully dismantle.
This machine is free from any asbestos.
Our machine packing complies with the provisions of rule 98-639 dated July 20th 1998
regarding environmental demands.
For additional information, do not hesitate to consult our environmental department.
Scrapping of machine
When the machine is no longer to be used, it must be submitted to a recycling facility for destruction. The
majority of the components in the machine can be reused, but it also contains other material that must be
taken care of in the correct way. Therefore, never mix the machine or its parts with domestic waste as this
may lead to health hazards or damage to the environment.

MANUAL 2. Preliminary
instructions
A flash of lightning with an arrow at
its end displayed inside an equilateral
triangle, warns the user about the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous
current" sufficient in intensity to cause
electrocution.
An exclamation mark inside an
equilateral triangle offers the user
important advice about usage, servicing
and hazardous conditions.
This symbol warns the user that there
are mechanisms inside the machine
which can be dangerous. The protective
housing must be in place during use.
This symbol warns the user of the
presence of high temperatures which
could cause severe burns. Some
surfaces can reach close to 200 °C
(392 °F).
Explanation of graphic symbols
Preliminary instructions
Before any use, it is compulsory to read the instruction handbook.
Users must have learnt how the machine operates.
The identification plate is placed on the loading side of the machine.
In order to prevent any risk of fire or explosion, flammable products should never be used to
clean the machine.
Any repair or maintenance intervention should be carried out by qualified personnel only.
Detergents used in laundry are particularly agressive. No stainless steel is able to resist their
corrosive actions. Detergent dispenser must consequently be considered as wearing parts
likely to be replaced.

2. Preliminary
instructions
SAFETY
The mechanical and electrical installation
of the machine should only be done by
qualified personnel.
CAUTION
Do not use the machine unless it is
plugged into a correctly earthed power
socket complying with standards in
force.
CAUTION
For your personal safety, never use
the machine without the protective
housings.
Disconnect all the sources of energy before any intervention on the machine.
Never try to open the drum door before the complete stop of the cage.
The safety devices of the cage door(s) should in no case be made inoperative.
The machines comply with the European Directive EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). They
have been tested in laboratory and approved as such. It is so prohibited to add wires or non
shielded electric cables in the cabinets, strands or cables' troughs.
Considering that the volume of the cage is superior to 150 liters, the standard kept for the
electric part is the IN 60204.
CAUTION
Disconnect the machine electrical
power supply before doing any repair or
servicing work.
CAUTION
This machine should be installed
in conformance to the health and
safety regulations, and only used in a
sufficiently aerated area.
Check the instructions before installing
or using the machine.

INSTALLATION
MANUAL 2. Preliminary
instructions
The machine can work without the protective casing when the electric
supply is not cut off.
Interlock the main isolating switch with a padlock.
Close the steam inlet valves.
The use and handling of chemical products such as detergent,
chlorine, acids, antiliming agents etc... may create hazards for health
and environment ; the following precautions should be taken.
- Do not breathe the dusts or steam.
- Avoid contact with skin or eyes (may cause burns).
- In case of important spillage, wear a protecting mask, gloves,
and eye protectors.
- Handle with care.
- Consult the use and first aid advice on the packings.
- Do not dispose pure products in the environment.
Ensure that the machine is not loaded beyond its nominal
capacity (see "Specific load" in the instruction booklet’s technical
characteristics).
An excessive load has consequences for the lifetime of the
machine’s organs, as follows :
• Rapid destruction of the suspension elements (springs, shock
absorbers).
• Excessive fatigue of motorisation elements (engine, belt).
• Rapid reduction of lifetime of drum bearings (rolling bearings).
• Opening and destruction of drum doors and tank doors during
oil dehydration.
This is particularly important for your safety and that of others.
The consequence is an immediate cancellation of the warranty.

CHEMICAL SYSTEM RESPONSABILITY
DISCLAIMER
The following policy should be considered and understood as a warranty/disclaimer to
customers operating textile care installations where liquid supply (chemical) systems use or
may use peristaltic pumps to inject supplies into equipment.
To Whom it May Concern :
We, the undersigned, accept no responsibility for loss or damage when, during periods of
non-use, concentrated chemicals leak, spray or "dribble" onto any part of our machines or their
contents.
It is well known that many pumped liquid chemical systems tend to permit concentrated
chemicals to dribble out of the injection tubes when the system has not been used for
relatively long periods of time – as after working hours and during weekends. This puts highly
concentrated corrosive chemicals in direct contact with dry stainless steel surfaces and often
directly on any textiles left in the machine. Chemical deterioration (rusting) of the stainless steel
and damage to the textiles is the inevitable result.
It is absolutely useless to flush the affected sites after each injection because the harmful
dribble always occurs later – after the machine is no longer in use. One seemingly foolproof
solution for "dribbling chemicals" (which we highly recommend but obviously cannot guarantee)
is to locate the chemical tanks and pumps well below the injection point on the machine (so
the contents of the injection tube(s) cannot siphon into the machine) and to completely purge
the just-used chemical injection tube(s), or manifold, with fresh water after every injection so
that only fresh water (which cannot cause a problem) can dribble out. Naturally, this – or any
other solution – is the sole responsibility of the pump and/or chemical supplier (not the machine
manufacturer).
Additionally, external chemical leakage is dangerous to personal health and safety, and will
also cause severe damage to machines and/or their surroundings. The installer and/or user
of the chemical injection system must make sure there are no external chemical leaks and
that excessive pressure can never build up in any chemical delivery tube, because excessive
pressure can burst the tube, or disconnect it from the machine, and spray dangerous
concentrated chemicals about the premises.
The machinery manufacturer is not, and cannot be, responsible for compliance with the above.

4. Handling
SAFETY
It is obligatory that all these
operations are undertaken
by handling specialists.
1/ Lifting with handling straps
Lifting in that case can only be done with
handling straps (minimum capacity 3000
daN) which bear weight of the machine.
Handling
Before any handling, check that the four
transport locks fitted (B) are still in place and
well-tightened, and so the four casing locks
(A).
To do so, remove the side casings and
check presence of four locks (B) and the
down casings for the four locks (A).
Check also that the load cells are free of the
tub assembly (weighing option).
N.B. : To handle the machine, you must
imperatively reassemble the transport
bridles and disengage the load cells
(proceed in reverse order of "Remove of
the transport locks fitted").
